CANDY by Prada, Review

If you follow my blog for quite some time, you probably know that I love sweet perfumes. So a perfume with the name "Candy" was certainly appropriate to get my attention.

The claim:
"Prada CANDY is instantly seductive - pure pleasure wrapped in impulsive charm. In an explosion of shocking pink and gold, Prada CANDY takes on a walk on the wild side, showing us the new face of Prada femininity where more is more and excess is everything. Magnified by white musks, noble benzoin comes together with a modern caramel accord to give the fragrance a truly unique signature."

Notes: Caramel, Musk, Vanilla, Benzoin

My point of view:
The perfume smells DEFINITELY and totally super extra sweet and the claim is totally right about the "excess" side. This is NOT a perfume for people that don't like sweet smells, just get away from it. You can definitely feel the vanilla and the musk which - at least to my nose - come as the 2 predominant notes of the perfume. The caramel is there but is more of a background note.

My conclusions:
The perfume on its own is excellent. Everything that a sweet smell lover wants. It's a perfume that you can easily wear day or night, winter or summer. But, there comes a bit BUT...
It comes to my disappointment along with quite a lot of the more "recent" coming out perfumes to the "unique" part. After smelling, trying, buying a few of the newer perfumes along with the CANDY, I came to the conclusion that most of the vanilla family ones are sort of a copy of Viktor and Rolf's Flowerbomb.
So, the fact that this perfume as a smell is great but is not something unique, along with the fact that it is NOT a cheap perfume, makes me wonder if it's really worth splurging on....
My answer? Well it depends. If you are a jump the wagon, trend lover, who likes to always own what is new, then go for it. If you are a person that doesn't really care for trends and that is searching for something unique then you probably own another perfume close to this and in my humble opinion I will always fall for the Flowerbomb than another, newer copy of it whether it's more expensive or more affordable. That of course doesn't make CANDY any less of a gorgeous perfume. I enjoy every drop of it. It's like a walk to a candystore and it has an excellent staying power.

Yves Rocher Organic Vanilla - Eau de toilette Review

Anyone that knows me is aware that I ADORE vanilla scent! It's one of my favorite scents in a perfume. It's hard thought to find a perfume that has a nice vanilla scent that is not fake or make you nauseous and it's not overpriced.

So in the mall there is a new Yves Rocher store and it has all kinds of perfumes, cremes, lotions etc and while I was taking a look I noticed the Vanilla eau de toilette. At first, when I read "organic" i thought it will be an expensive spray that doesn't last at all so I only tested it without buying. IT WAS AMAZING! It had the best scent of vanilla that I ever smelt, just the right amount of sweetness and it wasn't weak at all. I could still smell it untill the next day! So this had to be mine.

I really do not have to say a lot of stuff about this there are no cons, even it's price is amazing since the 100ml cost only around 10 euro!!!

If you are anything like, if you enjoy sweet perfumes and vanilla THIS IS THE PRODUCT FOR YOU.
I ABSOLUTELY RECOMMEND IT! I will be buying it again and again.

Thank you, Yves Rocher for creating this product! Thumbs up!
