Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray

Elizabeth Arden green tea scent spray has got to be one of my favorites. 
I've been using this perfume for quite a long time, maybe used up more than ten 100ml bottles. 
You see, when I like something and when it works good on me, I tend to repurchase and hoard. 



The packaging is simple and fuss free. Also, the bottle have clean line and is transparent so you see when it's about to run out. It's not as fanciful as other perfume bottles but it is convenient to carry on your purse, tall 100ml bottle but slim. Yes, I carry the big bottle since
I can't find a 50ml or 10ml ones.


Maybe fuss free packaging and a simple bottle's one reason why this perfume sell cheap. A plus since I tend to spray myself shamelessly with this one, so I use it up quite fast and I always make sure that I don't ran out of this green tea scent spray hence, the frequent repurchase. What's good about  Elizabeth Arden green tea is it's smell is not overpowering so you can over spray and respray every time. It is mild and refreshing. 

Being cheap, you get what you pay for, a medium staying power minty green tea scent. However, for me, it has a great ability to lift the mood and energize. It is a good go to boring day (haha!) perfume. I really like it's burst of freshness that I also spray this on linens and my drawer of lingerie since I also find it good for falling asleep. 

Elizabeth Arden Green Tea scent spray came out in
1999 and I've been using this since year 2001. 
I thought it was created far back since it smelled like a classic.


Great if you like simple non offensive scent and you just want to smell nice for no reason
for a low price tag. 
You might find it's very little to medium staying power annoying that
you have to respray every time.


Maybe a visit to the perfume counter will help you decide ladies!

Taylor Swift Wonderstruck Perfume


As one of my dear husband's valentines gift, Wonderstruck is easily one of my favorite! 
I'm not really a fan of perfumes endorsed by celebrities but I got one too many! 
Hubby's been buying them, I guess he thinks it safe to buy products endorsed by someone well known. Good thing, he got a good nose, his buys simply smell fantastic. 
Ahhm it helps, that the first compliments I get when I wear his gift perfumes are from him LOL. 

The box with the Taylor's lucky number 13 in gold

Seriously though, Wonderstruck smells wonderful! I got compliments, 
not from hubby alone when I wear this. It smells feminine and warm. 
However, I don't think the smell stays long on me, maybe 4 hours. 
But the first minutes I spray this on, I really feel like I smell so good and yummy! :) 
Ok, ok, I'm not really a big Taylor Swift fan, I like some or most of her songs, 
but I still refuse to admire someone who dominate the teeny booper age. 
But still, she is admirable in a lot of ways. One, is creating this fragrance.
 It is suitable for wear day and night, actually this is my go to perfume now, 
used to use Elizabeth Arden Green Tea when I'm indecisive on what to spray. 
It also helps a lot that the box and bottle looks beautiful.




Taylor Swift personally chose the bottle and charms used in this perfume.
 The bottle really looks nice, it gets a rainbow color when hit by the light and
the color is beautiful too, I want it in my fingernails!


Top notes: Freesia, Apple Blossom, Raspberry
Middle notes; Vanilla, Honey Suckle, White Hibiscus
Base notes: Amber, Sandalwood, Peach




Too many fragrances combined to create this sweet, feminine smell. Even you won't like the smell,
 the bottle is a nice addition to our vanity table, ladies!

And here's the full ad clip of the perfume, Taylor looks like she was plucked 
out of a fairy tale in this one. Enjoy!

Also available, and I want to get this one too, Wonderstruck Enchanted

Christmas Gifts! Incanto Bloom


I love Salvatore Ferragamo's Incanto Fragrances! Bought and used up the 
Charms, Shine and Heaven. 
So when I received the Incanto Bloom, I was so happy!

The box and the bottle is beautiful! I think a lot of girls are guilty of buying a perfume just because of the packaging, especially when the bottle is too pretty to resist. That's been true with the Incanto line of Salvatore Ferragamo. However, this perfume ( and the other variants) is past the fresh and cute visual effect  with it's modern vera bow. Case in point: when I wear this, hubby compliment how good I smell!  I'm trying to stick on a signature scent, been using Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, but of course I can't say no to free perfumes, who can anyway?


What I like about this scent is has a tea like scent (like Elizabeth Arden) with rose as a big player, it comes off as floral fruity. What I do is spray some on my palm and pat it on my neck and hair. So the smell will be straight from my hair and my hands, which hubby often kiss and compliment me on how good they smell! Also, it has a long staying power, maybe more than 8 hours (but I often respray). I guess this would be a nice fragrance to use on rainy and cold days since I notice when it's dry outside, the smell seem to reek. I'd still use the green tea on warm days.

That's it for now ladies, hopefully I'll receive lots of gifts to share reviews with you. :)
Happy Holidays!
XOXO
