Guess Seductive For Women


Guess Seductive for women arrived not too long ago in Scentiments. Not even one person in our survey said they disliked the smell. I find it classy and light. Something I'd imagine on a young, powerful career woman. :)
This fragrance opens with the fresh scent of cripsy pear and bergamot (a type of citrus fruit) and with a little sweet yet sophiscated vanilla note, layered with jasmine and cashmere wood for a headier base.
This fragrance is not at all overwhelming, most suitable for those with an oversensitive nose or office/day use.
Personally, the reason why I like this fragrance is for its price and packaging. For something that looks expensive, its not very. You can get a 30ml for only RM139 :) Great idea for gift!
Signing off,

Escada Absolutely Me


The latest offering from Escada is Absolutely Me (makes me think of vodka) and its young, chic and playful.

This scent is not strong as Escada's previous perfumes from the 'Me' range (Incredible Me and Desire Me), but its bottle is trademarked (two Es facing each other) but with a glamour tweak. Bedazzling in bling and rainbow holographic glass, it makes me think of My Little Pony and Friends. >.<



To what has become the signature scent of the 'Me' collection, this latest offering is still sweet and sexy... just that its a day scent this time; light and fresh.

My first impression is "YUMMY-SO-DELICIOUS-I-WANNA-EAT-MY-ARM"... why? Imagine this: the fragrances starts off smelling of fresh fruits and raspberries (mmmm... my fave) then its heart notes are of pink rose macarons... and then its ends with vanilla. Now tell me that's not yummy. And the best part is all of this is not overwhelming at all...

On our usual feedback getting sessions, one customer said, "Wow. I really can't stop smelling my arm..." while others will say its too sweet for their liking. Let's just say this, if you have been more of a floral-scent wearer, this might be a little too quirky for your taste, but for those with a 'sweet-tooth' this will not disappoint.

Absolutely in love with Escada's Absolutely Me,
