The Body Shop - White Musk - Smoky Rose - Eau de Toilette


This smells like musk, rose and a hint on incense.

It is a really nice floral smell without being overbearingly floral (a concept I don't personally understand).

Fragantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: bergamot (nope), pink pepper (maybe), black currant (nope)
Middle Notes: tobacco blossom (no idea), black rose (yes), immortelle (yes), orange blossom (nope)
Base Notes: olibanum (frankincense, yes), white musk (yes)

Price: 4/5 ($28.95 for 30mL)
Effectiveness: 5/5
Lifetime: Moderate
Strength: Medium
Time: Afternoon
Season: Autumn

Vera Wang - Princess - Perfume

This perfume is so lovely, even my mother likes it! (and she usually doesn't have strong feelings about many things)

To me, this purple delight, smells of vanilla... just sweet vanilla

Fragrantica lists the notes as follows:
Top notes - apricot, mandarin, apple, water lily
Middle notes - tuberose, guava, dark chocolate, tiare flower
Base notes - amber, vanilla, woodsy notes

I would say this perfume lasts a moderate amount of time (longevity), is of moderate strength (sillage) and would suit autumn and/or the afternoon the best.

This is such a beautiful scent... I am so tempted to repurchase it!

Price: 3/5 (rrp $89 for 100mL, but you can often get it for ~$30)
Season: Autumn
Weight: Medium
Overall possum liking: 5/5
