Fragrance| Estée Lauder Modern Muse

Hello!
A nice early morning post for you all today.
I'm going to give you a quick review about one of my favourite fragrances the 
Estée Lauder Modern Muse Eau De Parfum.
I've had this for about 3 months and I honestly can not get enough of it.
This fell into my hands by accident and I blame the sales assistant because she did the usual Estée trick and sprayed the tissue paper that was covering my foundation (Estée Lauder Double Wear review here) and I was hooked!
First of all, it's like a love hate relationship with the packaging. I love the clear simplistic style of the body of the bottle and I love the bow elements but I don't know if it looks necessarily 'right' framing the square spray but I do think it looks really classy all the same. Well it IS Estée Lauder. The scent is a mixture between floral and sensual woods such as Suede Musk, Amber Wood and Honeysuckle Nectar with a hint of Vanilla and the contrasts between the two dominative notes makes the smell even more so amazing. The smell itself is meant to resemble the Modern Day woman, the contrast being between her life and personality and I definitely agree that it captures her creative energy and femininity as it does to whoever is wearing this. 
I have most definitely received the most comments on this fragrance then any other. I find the smell is actually distinctive and lasts a long time - perfect!
I would also honestly say, being Estée Lauder, this is perfect for all age types. 
I have no preference on wether to wear this in Summer or Winter as I feel the floral hints make it a perfect Summer fragrance where as the sensual woods have a heavy, Wintery musk that make it feel warm and feminine. 
Priced at £44 for the 30ml, I must say, I was expecting a lot worst and I happily shoved my card into the machine without a second thought.

Have you tried it? What did you think?
Tell me your favourite fragrance in the comments, I'm always on the hunt for something new!

Fragrance| Miss Dior Eau de Parfum

Hello again!

I'm back again with another fragrance review about the new addition to my collection the Miss Dior Eau de Parfum. I believe every girl needs perfume to finish off a look and with some many different ones out there it's easy enough to find one thats perfect for you. This Dior perfume is classic and sexy and all the different qualities of it certainly do add up to make it luxurious. 

The bottle is beautiful and probably one of my favourites. I love the fact the main body is clear as I feel the colour of the perfume alone has a vintagey air about it. The silver bow around the lid is a really nice touch and adds to the femininity of the perfume making it something that any girl would fill special wearing. Being a designer brand I didn't expect anything less then beautiful packaging that makes it stand out in the fragrance cabinets in Boots.

The smell is quite heavy yet fruity with notes of orange and strawberry. This along with the more milder notes of Jasmine, Rose and Amber to name a few, makes it a perfect fragrance for both the summer and wintery months. I feel the overall smell is charming and intense. The smell definitely lingers through out the day, developing hour by hour. One or two spritz in the morning and you are good to go. 
                                       
Pricing up at £46.50 for the 30ml does make it one of the more expensive perfumes out there but as it is so strong and intense, you don't need much at a time meaning it does last longer than others I have tried. 

This is definitely one of my new favourites in my collection and I can see myself splashing the cash on a bigger bottle once this one has ran out.
