Bath & Body Works Endless Weekend Eau De Parfum

Bath & Body Works Endless Weekend Preview Eau De Parfum

This is one of +Bath and Body Works Preview Eau De Parfums, so it's smaller and looks different but it has the same formula as the actual perfume.

See my other review here.

Endless Weekend retails at Bath & Body Works for $39.50 for 1.7 fl oz.

Bath & Body Works Endless Weekend Preview Eau De Parfum

The site description is:

With a higher concentration of fragrance oils, our Eau de Parfum gives you a more intense, longer-lasting aroma for the ultimate, most luxurious indulgence.

 

 Top Notes: Raspberry Lychee Sorbet, Sparkling Mandarin, Juicy Nectarine, Apple, Mirabelle Plum
 

Mid Notes: Sun-Kissed Magnolia, Gardenia, Plum Blossom, Fresh Picked Jasmine Sambac
 

Dry Notes: Vanilla Sandalwood, Vanilla Orchid, Blue Coconut Water, Sugared Musk

 

 Key Fragrance Notes:

 An exhilarating blend of raspberry lychee sorbet, sun-kissed magnolia and vanilla sandalwood

 

 Usage:

Lightly spray at pulse points such as wrists or neck. Do not rub or wipe for long-lasting fragrance.

I actually like their Morocco Orchid & Pink Amber scent better.

At first this comes off as really sweet and warm but then after a few minutes it smells spicier. 

I don't particularly like spicy scents either, if only it would've stayed sweet.

Honestly this perfume fades to a very faint scent after 10 minutes and I can't say buying this is worth anyone's money. You'd have to spray this every 10 minutes to smell anything.

Yves Saint Laurent YSL Parisienne Eau de Parfum 1 fl. oz. Review

YSL Parisienne Eau de Parfum 1 fl. oz.

 Oh, that packaging!!!

The site description:

The new fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent is a sensuous bouquet to the woman whose heart belongs to Paris… even if home is elsewhere. A voluptuous floral accord of violet, damask rose and tart blackberry seems to tell the whole story. But then comes the fullness of sandalwood, deepened by musk and brightened by peonies, tying the endnotes to the ones beginning.

The 1.0 OZ retails for $39.

I got mine from Sephora and I honestly think I got a dud.

It was so super light, I couldn't really smell it unless I put my nose right up to where I sprayed and even then it was super faint. I mean it's so light I was wondering if I got a defect.

But from what I can smell, it smells like a typical floral with a hint of musk.

Since I can't smell it in the first place I can't even tell you how long it lasts.

Cartier La Panthere Eau De Parfum review

Cartier La Panthere Eau De Parfum

First thought: Omg, Spicy, Grandma scent. 

Comes with a plastic spray protector thing

Very musky and spicey, There's a hint of something else, but I can't place it.

Smells kind of like black licorice at first. 

Ends up smelling like a man's scent,

Such a beautiful bottle! Really is a work of art. To bad fragrance is HORRIBLE.

This should've been the Ad. Yep Yeap. Haha.

The Back

Packaging and Bottle

Well for me the best part of Body by Victoria was the bottle, other than that it was a flop. I hated it.

Body by Victoria

Body by Victoria, cap off.

Going by the description from the site you'd think this would smell young and fresh, and sexy, right?

Wrong.

For me this defiantly did not smell "refreshing", "airy" or "fresh".

For me it smelled like the opposite. It was heavy and musky and VERY old ladyish.

It was a very heavy floral scent and both me and my fiance hated it. 

Closeup, Body by Victoria

The smell literally made me think of an old lady in a coffin. 

I tried to wash it off my wrist after with soap and water and it lingered even then.

The bottle is very beautiful though.

Verdict: LOVE the bottle, HATE the scent.

Verdict: LOVE the bottle, HATE the scent.

Verdict: LOVE the bottle, HATE the scent.

I don't get how this could ever be "One of [their] most sought-after and loved fragrances..."

Any lovers out there? 

Did you hate it too?

Victoria's Secret Forbidden Eau De Parfum

 

The Site Description is:

 An exotic, steamy twist on a warm fragrance, this seductive scent is perfect for pushing the boundaries of sexy. New from the Very Sexy collection. This mysterious fragrance dresses skin in a tempting blend of exotic pear, amber wood and midnight blackberry.

 It retails at 1.7 Fl. Oz for $52 & 3.4 Fl. Oz for $68

 

First off the bottle itself is GORGEOUS! I love the jewel-like cap and the gradient bottle with the cheetah print overlay. It's beautiful. I love it. The scent maybe not so much. 

In the beginning this is a heavy, warm scent.

It is way stronger in the beginning when you spray it. At first it's sweet like candy but musky. It fades to a delicate subtle powdery-ness. Almost like baby powder. 

My fiance says it smells like something his mother would wear haha. 

I liked it but not enough to keep it.
