Amouage Dia Woman Eau de Parfum

Amouage Dia Woman Eau de Parfum - A vibrant and luxurious expression of femininity. Amouage Dia Woman is a marriage of French sophistication and Oman splendour.

This is quite simply one of the best perfumes that you can buy. I am an Amouage fan and I also have Amouage Gold, which is a heavy 'evening' perfume. This is lighter and more suitable for daytime but is equally addictive. It also comes in a travel set i.e. an atomiser with refills, which is my personal preference.

This lavish floral scent exudes depth and light, blending subtle fruitiness with intoxicating incense to a breathtaking degree. Dia Woman is an ideal daytime scent; wearable, sumptuous and very special.

All the ingredients are natural, and there is a hand written note from the time of manufacture with every bottle you receive. If you're not sure where to start with selecting an Amouage fragrance, you can purchase the sampler set and start from there (it's also great for travel). I've had to recommend this fragrance to many of my male colleagues as they've come to me requesting the name in time for an anniversary or birthday!

Issey Miyake Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme EDT Perfume Spray

 
Issey Miyake Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey Pour Homme EDT Perfume Spray - Well what can I say apart from what an exceptional fragrance. Issey Miyake will always be Issey Miyake. Straight after spraying some on, you instantly smell Yuzu (Japanese Citron), cypress, mandarin and verbena. An hour or so later, the smell mellows down but still goes strong with notes of nutmeg, saffron and cinnamon. After 6 or so hours the the base notes kick in, tobacco, sandalwood and vetiver! Great longetivity. Last for ages and has a very distinct smell to it. Great for summers and winters alike. I own a big collection of fragrances and this will always be in my collection. Nothing screams fresh like Issey Miyake!

I must be out of sync with things at the moment as i thought Issey Miyake was just a womens fragrance,how wrong was i!. this is a must buy for any man, i have smelt nothing like it ever everywhere i go people are asking me what it is and where did i get it. its sweet citrus smell seem to last forever i can put it on in the morning and still smell it last thing at night before bed( obviously not as strong by then ).
I'm glad i bought this and so will you be. great product 10/10

VERA WANG LOOK EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY

VERA WANG LOOK EAU DE PARFUM SPRAY - This bold, modern and captivating scent of Vera Wang Look comprises a woman's confidence and seduction through layers of fragrance notes and beautiful scents. LOOK represents style and fashion and is closely connected with Vera Wang's fashion line. Top notes of Mandarin, Litchi, Apple. Middle notes of Lily, Freesia, Jasmine and Base notes of Sweet Vanilla, Musk, Oakmoss, Patchouli

Purchased this perfume as one of my friends at work had it and it smelled gorgeous!! Couldn't find it in the shops anywhere so turned to Amazon and as luck would have it I was able to buy it for less than half the price of what my friend had bought it for! (I have told her when she runs out where to get it from).

Just love it and when I wear it everyone compliments on the smell and asks what perfume I am wearing. Brilliant for a 'day' perfume and also 'night' perfume. Love it so much I spray it on before I get into bed!!

Definitely one of my all time favourites.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Eau De Parfum Spray


Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Eau De Parfum Spray - The perfume Viva la Juicy is presented as a gourmet floral fragrance, which opens with notes of wild berries and juicy mandarin. The heart encompasses a floral blend of honeysuckle, gardenia and jasmine, while the base notes await us with a gourmet rhapsody of amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and pralines. The perfume arrives in a typical Juicy Couture bottle with a charming ribbon of fuchsia colour. Love Couture well here is another one for juicy girls who want it all. Viva La Juicy is had a flirty feel and ideal for anytime of the day wear.

The delivery was excellent, as well as the product. I bought it for my granddaughter's birthday, having searched for ages for an appropriate perfume for her age group. Turned out to be an ace! She loved it, and told me 'How did you know about this Grans?' I didn't bore her with the fact I've always known about fine perfumes appropriate to the age and status of the wearer.

I really do like this smell but the eau de parfum does not seem very strong. The body lotion was a lot stronger and that was why I tried this product.

Thank you for a brilliant service, and giving much happiness.

PACO RABANNE LADY MILLION EAU DE TOILETTE SPRAY

PACO RABANNE LADY MILLION EAU DE TOILETTE SPRAY - I recently was set a birthday present challenge. Last year I bought my friend a perfume she had never tried before - Ricci Ricci by Nina Ricci as I liked it and hoped she would too. This kind of back fired on me as this year she challenged me to do the same again - not an easy task. Find a perfume she would love but that was different from last years :) Off I went on a mission, and the perfume I chose was Lady Million by Paco Rabanne.

Niether she nor I like flowery perfumes and tend to go for the sweeter scents with deeper tones. This fits the bill perfectly. It reminds me of Ricci Ricci or a less over powering version of Black XS but is not as strong and far more subtle. I like the smell so much that I am going to buy this for myself as soon as I run out of Ricci Ricci.
Because of it's subtlety it is more of a day scent though. 
  • Bought for Mrs and she liked it very much
  • Probably in line with the other reviews that it is not as strong as the male version but nonetheless the fragrance is very nice.
  • Would it be a good gift? - Yes
  • Would I buy again? Yes
  • Fast delivery? - Yes
  • Well packaged? - Yes
Bought through amazon.co.uk quick deliver even though on super saver delivery, perfume was what I expected - eau de parfum though I did have to query it before ordering as the "click thru" had "eau de toilette" in the title.
all in all the best value i could find for this perfume - knowing I will get the real thing.
