Versace - Crystal Noir - Eau de Toilette


This is quite a unisex scent!
It is very heavy in green notes, with green florals, musk, incense, sap, some spice, and lavender.

This is a Autumn night in a well-cared for garden.
This is moths dancing around a street lamp as you move from one great party (for +25 year olds) to the next.
This is that spark of electricity in the air when the weather turns.

It is a strong scent as well.

Fragrantica lists the notes as

Top Notes: ginger, cardamon, pepper. (agree with all of these)
Middle Notes: orange blossom, peony, gardenia, coconut. (agree)
Base Notes: sandalwood, amber, musk. (agree, but it has smokiness)

Price: 1/5 ($140 for 90mL, I have a tiny sample bottle!)
Scent: 5/5
Season: Autumn
Strength: Strong
Time: Nighttime

L'Oréal Paris - Elvive Extraordinary Oil - Nourishing Masque
I got this as a sample in a Bellabox and loved it so much, I purchased a jar!
I usually steer clear of anything that may weigh my hair down (like conditioner), but this just leaves my hair glossy, not heavy.

The packaging mentions 6 'precious' flower oils, which are: chamomile, matricaria (german chamomile), sunflower, sacred lotus, flax, tiare, dog rose. (there are 7 there, but I'm not sure which is the 'non-precious' one)

The scent is slightly spicy, but not strong overall.

It is thick, easy apply to the hair, and has a pretty gold shimmer appearance in the container.
It leaves my hair super soft and shiny :D

Price: 3/5 (RRP $9.95 for 300mL)
Scent: 4/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Same Product, Different Scent: Crabtree & Evelyn Hand Therapy - Gardeners
***This is a new segment I am starting. It's when it is the same product as one previously reviewed, but the scent is different.***

It smells like warm, winter spices to me. Cinnamon*, nutmeg* and myrrh join macadamia oil and shea butter in this delightful hand cream.
*I decided these are in there :p

Image a pumpkin pie if you will, this smells of the spices you put in one.... so good!

It reminds me of this so much, in fact, that I think I need to send some to my friend Pumpking! (testing if you still check this)
Others need to know how good this smells!

Scent: 5/5 (duh)
