4 Date night fragrances

After going on a romantic holiday to Iceland I thought I would share four scents I recommend for date night. Whether you’re going on a first date or like me, date number 54674 you always want to feel extra special and a little bit sexy. If you choose your fragrance wisely you can feel all of this and more 😉. You should also look into purchasing a hand bag sized version of your desired fragrance, I swear by them and Sephora or Nordstrom for my US readers have a great selection or you can purchase refillable bottles.

So onto my fave fragrances at the moment for date night:

Bvlgari, Goldea

Even the bottle looks pretty darn sexy, all coated in gold. Even before I sprayed this luxurious fragrance I knew it would smell pretty darn good and as usual I was right, it smells heavenly. With top notes of crystal musk lingering with hints of orange blossom makes you smell of orient blooms. With this baby on you will feel sexy and confident and smell divine. (£103, 90ml)

Jimmy Choo, Illicit

Moving onto a more feminine fragrance and one of my all-time favourites is Jimmy Choo,Illicit. If you follow me on Instagram you may have seen my love for Jimmy Choo heels but this fragrance made me fall in love with JC all over again. You can see the full blown review here. Illicit is one elegant fragrance, look how beautiful it is, looking slightly similar to a crystal chandelier. This fragrance will leave you smelling of ginger, rose and jasmine with a touch of honey-amber. (£55,60ml)

Salvatore Ferragamo, Signorina Misteriosa

For something brand spanking new, Signorina Misteriosa is the one for you from Salvatore Ferragamo. With top notes of blackberry and neroli, heart notes of orange blossom and tuberose ending with black vanilla mousse and patchouli what more could a girl want?! All of these notes combine to create a fragrance that is velvety, romantic with floral notes seeping through. (Even writing this make me want to spritz right now!) (£83,100ml)

Molton Brown, Ylang-Ylang

Yes, Molton Brown does has a range of fragrances if you did not already know and it includes some of their most well know scents. One of my faves is Ylang-Ylang, offering a more relaxing scent which is perfect if you are going on a first date! The core notes are of course ylang-ylang then cardamom and vanilla. (£39,50ml)

Review: Jimmy Choo Illicit and First Rosée D'Or Van Cleef & Arpels

The two fragrances I am reviewing are Jimmy Choo's latest eau de parfum: Illicit and First 'Rosée D'Or brought to us from Van Cleef and Arpels; I am one lucky beauty blogger to have the chance to review these beauties! When you find a fragrance that you love there is no going back it’s cemented on your makeup mantel piece until the last drop and I can safely say mine has two new additions. 

Taking a closer look at Jimmy Choo,Illicit I realised that I have never actually owned a Jimmy Choo fragrance before even though I do have a tiny obsession with Jimmy Choo shoes and handbags. This fragrance has literally just hit the shops, so I am lucky to be one of the first to review this luxurious scent.

This new fragrance has been created to embody the confident, feminine and alluring ‘Jimmy Choo’ woman. The top notes are strong with orange and ginger with deeper notes of jasmine, honey-amber, rose and like most fragrances sandalwood. Illicit has quickly become one of my favourite fragrances, usually I use my fragrances either just for day or night but I love this for absolutely anything.

Like all my fragrance posts I like to not only review the scent but the bottle as well and this embodies what the fragrance and brand is with gold liquid encased in a crystal style cylinder, looking purely decadent.

Jimmy Choo Illicit Eau De Parfum has now launched 40ml: £42, 60ml: £54, 100ml: £78.

The next fragrance is another decedent brand, Van Cleef & Arpels better known for their incredible jewelry. First by Van Cleef & Arpels was first created in 1976 and it has been brought back to life with a limited edition, Rosée D'Or. First oozes elegance from the brand. First, Rosée D'Or has with hints of the original perfume using natural ingredients with light top notes with bergamot and aldehydes. A floral arrangement as middle notes of white rose, ylang-ylang and jasmine which is the most dominant tone. Rose has been added for this limited edition which intensifies the fragrance and adds freshness. Then left over you can smell vanilla, warm blond woods, musk.

The bottle has a more modern feel to Illicit, although it uses a similar colour pallet with gold and pink for an elegant look with a metallic veil hinting at what is inside. 

First Rosée D'Or is available now 60ml: £59 (get this quick as its limited edition)
