THE FRAGRANCE SHOP DISCOVERY CLUB 6TH EDITION BOX
Friday, 9 May 2014
You may remember a while ago I did a post on a previous version of this box, and we are going for round two today with the 6th Edition*. Think glossy box, but for £5 per quarter that normally contain 5 fragrances (although this edition has 7 as 2 men's fragrances are included). You also get an array of vouchers for money off if you really fall in love with the perfumes. So, below is the perfume names, descriptions and the verdict.
Guerlain La Petite Robe Noire Couture EDP: 'A new long dress sewn with fresh floral notes and top-stitched with glamorous woody notes'. I really like this one actually, its floral but not overpowering, most likely due to that slight muskiness. 30ml - £43.50
Givenchy Very Irresistible L'eau en Rose EDT: 'Floral Musk. Vivacious and soft like a frosted rose' This is more fruity than floral in my opinion, and smells like something I have tried before but I can't put my finger on it. 50ml - £51.99
Eau de Lacoste Sensualle EDP: 'The spirit of Lacoste in a sensual fragrance that captures the natural intensity of soft floral notes'. They seem to be going along with the floral theme here, and this definitely is the most floral smelling of the bunch (excuse the pun). 30ml - £32.50
Thierry Mugler Alien Eau Extraordinaire EDT: 'Enhance your sensuality with the luminous freshness of Alien Eau Extraordinaire.' I really like this one, and it's perhaps my favourite of the bunch. This smells like something from lush with something else mixed in (great descriptions going down here). 60ml Refillable - £49.50
Elie Saab Le Parfum L'Eau Couture EDP: 'A fresh new scent that radiates the very best of couture'. This one really is fresh, and reminds me of a Juicy Couture fragrance my mum has hidden away somewhere.
I am no good at describing scents for women, so I am in no way going to attempt describing the men's scents. But, they are Solo Loewe Sport - 75ml £59.99 and Valentino Uomo - 50ml £44.99.
So now, I have a lovely array of handbag (or even school shirt pocket) friendly perfumes and another handy box for storage...

The Fragrance Shop Discovery Club Perfume Box
Tuesday, 11 June 2013
Hi guys!
I am a sucker for good scents, so getting sent this perfume box to try out was very exciting for me. I received it a few weeks ago but I wanted to try out all the perfumes properly so I know about them.
So, I will just start now, so that this post doesn't go on for reams and reams.
Here are all the perfume samples that are included in this box. There is a great selection!
The first perfume is Vera Wang Lovestruck (floral rush). It is described as 'a rich floral bouquet that blooms with instant attraction'. It definitely is just that. It is floral, but not too overpowering, as there is a subtle under-scent of something sweet which balances it out. It really is nice. This perfume costs £34.50 for 30ml. It has a lasting time for 3-4 hours, which is better than some perfumes.
The second perfume is Nina Ricci's Nina L'Eau. This is by far one of my favourite perfumes in the box, and if I was one to splurge on perfumes, this would be one of them, but it isn't even too pricey. This is a mix between floral, fruity and 'powdery' warmth of musk there too. This retails for £24.99 for a 30ml which isn't too bad. The lasting time for this one is about 4+ hours, depending on how much you put on, which is average for a higher end perfume.
I will admit that I was most excited to try out this one, as Juicy Couture perfumes are well raved about on the internet. I wasn't wowed by the scent that all the hype built it up to be, but it definitely is something I would spritz onto myself if I had a bottle of it myself. This perfume screams out femininity, slightly fruity yet floral, much reminding me of the DKNY Be Delicious perfume my mum always wore when she had a bottle. It is nice.
This one also excited me a bit. The only thing I don't like is that the mini sample bottle doesn't have a spray thing on it, and I am really scared to open in because I know I will get perfume everywhere. But I opened it and BOY it smelt good! It is everything you want in a floral perfume. The bouquets are there, but then there is that powdery scent underneath which makes it much more subtle and no headaches will be happening whilst wearing it. No-one likes that feeling. This is £32.50 for 30ml. This lasts for about 4-5 hours so pretty good.
The final perfume in this box is Just Cavalli by Roberto Cavalli. It is descried as 'a creamy floral' and I don't think it could be described by me or my nose in any other way. It's not creamy in a desert way or anything, but just in a way that makes the floralness less harsh. Making words up there, well done me. But this is a really lovely perfume, which I would recommend to everyone. This is £29.50 for 30ml. And it also lasts for about 4 hours, which isn't too bad.
Thanks for reading guys, what is your favourite perfume? Let me know in the comments!
Bye! Lauren x
