3 LOVELY FRAGRANCE DISCOVERIES

October 16, 2019 in BEAUTY
fragrances for autumn

It’s always nice to shake up your perfume collection once in a while, as you get stuck in a fragrance rut by wearing the same scents constantly in rotation. I’ve recently added three new perfumes to my collection, so I wanted to introduce you to them. Some of them are entirely predictable for me, but one is a bit of a wild card.Lancome Idôle Eau de ParfumLancome Idôle Eau de Parfum*** – £85 for 75ml, Lancome

This is a rose-based fragrance, so, of course I love it! It’s a gentle, tender, elegant fragrance that’s very feminine. It has been created on the premise that every woman is an idol, and is centred around the rose scent as that was the brand’s first symbol.

The bottle is just the most stunning perfume bottle that I’ve ever seen. It is one of the slimmest fragrance bottles in the world, at just 15mm thick. It was designed by the acclaimed Chafik Gasmi, who wanted to create a bottle that resembles a precious jewel, and that can be taken anywhere in the world. The bottle’s glass is so thin that it appears like the fragrance is floating. It can also lie flat, fit in the palm of your hand and be slipped easily into a pocket.Lancome Idôle Eau de ParfumThe scent smells like freshly-picked roses. It’s a delicate scent, but still impactful. There is essences of rose absolute and rose water, jasmine, and a background of patchouli and white musk. Lancôme pride themselves on being transparent about where their ingredients are sourced from.They are ethically sourced give back to farmer communities. The roses are from Turkey, created exclusive for Lancôme and are hand-harvested. The jasmine comes from India and is also hand-harvested.

Top: bergamot essence. Heart: rose essence, rose water, jasmine infusion, jasmine absolute. Base: patchouli essence, cedar essence, vanilla essence.Madmoiselle Rochas CoutureMadmoiselle Rochas Couture*** – £65.99 for 90ml, Fragrance Direct

Rochas is a brand I hadn’t heard of before this fragrance, but how cute are the bottles?!?! The Mademoiselle Rochas line launches in 2017, to create fragrances for the chic and vibrant French woman, who so many people want to be.

Mademoiselle Rochas Couture is the newest fragrance from the brand. It’s an attractive sent – both aesthetically and as a smell. It’s charming, floral and feminine, and is more heady that the lighter Lancôme fragrance. Mademoiselle Rochas Couture is designed to evoke the elegance of Paris at night, so it makes sense that this would be a deeper scent that the other two fragrances I’ve talked about in this post. For me, the deep sea of the scent comes from the inclusion of one of my favourite fragrance ingredients – Tonka Bean. You’ll also pick up woody notes in addition to this.

Top: pink pepper, pear & bergamot, Heart: orange blossom, lily-of-the-valley & heliotrope, Base: tonka bean, sandalwood & musk.Madmoiselle Rochas CoutureClean Reserve Solar Bloom – £82 for 100ml, Space NK

This brand have strict green manufacturing practices. They are very eco-conscious, and their ingredients are ethically-sourced. They too give back to their farmers communities. There is Vetiver from Haiti, and the partnership gives educational and medicinal help to the farmer communities. There’s also green mandarin from small, local farmers in Brazil. No pesticides are used and the mandarin oil is extracted using traditional hand-pressed techniques.

Solar Bloom is a very clean, fresh and sharp fragrance. It’s not what I usually like, and it’s definitely more of a day scent. This fragrance was inspired by the beauty of dawn and early mornings. There are citrus florals and also an earthy tone to the fragrance. It’s all about nature.

Top: bergamot, green mandarin, freesia. Middle: orange blossom, jasmine petals. Base: charcoal, cedarwood musk, coconut water, vetiver.

A smaller 10ml travel spray is also available for £20.

This post contains press samples, but all views are my own.

PR samples — It’s time for #friyayfaves again PR samples — It’s time for #friyayfaves again (# by @the__glow__girl)! I’ve been loving testing out some French pharmacy skincare products over the last 4 months, so that I can put together a blog post on my favourite French pharmacy brands. The post will be live on my blog alifewithfrills.co.uk next week and it features @esthedermuk @biodermauk @caudalie @typologyparis & @decleorparis - what do you love from these brands?

It’s #texturetuesday! I wanted to share with you It’s #texturetuesday! I wanted to share with you 5 of my favourite cream eyeshadows, in pot form. A few of these I’ve had for ages, but they last so long and as long as you use them with a clean brush I think there’s nothing wrong with continuing to use them. Clockwise from the top they are @ctilburymakeup Star Gold, the now extinct @glossierplay Glitter Gelee Gold, the equally as extinct @diormakeup Fusion Mono in Hypnotique, @tomfordbeauty Cream Colour for Eyes in Burnished Copper & Midnight Violet. Swipe for swatches.

Serious question - does anyone out there actual li Serious question - does anyone out there actual like these ‘slice’ sheet masks that several K-beauty brands produce? I  tried them before and dismissed them as pointless; then I came across these and thought I’d give them another go. Same conclusion - utterly useless & they dry out SO quickly! They look cute but that’s the beginning and the end of it. Or am I missing a trick?

Over on my blog alifewithfrills.co.uk later today, I have a post on my hero skincare ingredient Niacinamide! What you need to know, all the benefits & 3 Niacinamide products you need to try - @zitsticka Press Refresh Masks, @paulaschoiceuk Niacinamide 20% Treatment, @theordinary @deciem Niacinamide 20% + Zinc 1%.

PR sample — I’m featuring this @esthedermuk se PR sample — I’m featuring this @esthedermuk serum in an upcoming blog post, but I wanted to post it on my grid so that I can then add it to my IG Guide on my favourite beauty products of 2020!
🥰
This serum is dreamy. It’s such a light, translucent, runny serum that sinks into the skin, leaving you with the softest and plumpest skin imaginable!
🥰
The science this Institut Esthederm E.V.E Serum (£77) behind it is that it has been designed to strengthen and protect maturing skin that’s tired and stressed; to restore vitality & firmness and improve texture & diminish visibility of lines. Huda Kattan @huda is a real fan and I can see why! I wanted to try it because it has my hero Niacinamide in it, but it does so much more than just refine my pores. I use it as a first serum and then top with a retinol at night.

PR sample — This has been my favourite sheet mas PR sample — This has been my favourite sheet mask lately! It’s a new release from @zitsticka and whilst it’s designed for those with breakout-prone skin, it’s also amazing at pore minimising & hydrating - which is why I use it. It has my texture hero ingredient Niacinamide in it. 
💚
There’s also Salicylic Acid, exfoliating AHAs, Hyaluronic Acid & Allantoin. It’s a 2-piece hydrogel mask so it fits beautifully to the contours of the face. I’ll definitely be getting some more of these!
