Fragrance Review: Boss Nuit by Hugo Boss

Fragrance Review: Boss Nuit by Hugo Boss

It is not often that a perfume is released that I really love. It is not just the elegant smell of this new scent that captured me but its longevity that shocked me. I have to say this is my new favourite evening perfume.

The scent itself opens with top notes of white peach, heart notes of jasmine and base notes of creamy sandalwood. This is a distinctive and feminine fragrance that exudes elegance and sophistication. In my opinion it smells like a confident and glamorous woman. It is a floral scent that smells soft and creamy but lasts so well on the skin.

I was amazed by how long this lasted even for an eau de parfum, a full busy day at work and I could still smell its distinctive notes lingering on my arm. However much I love this scent I would recommend it as an evening fragrance only, it is styled around the little black dress and I think it would go perfectly with one.

RRP for a 30ml EDP is £34
RRP for a 50ml EDP is £47
And a 100ml EDP will set you back £59.

A definite recommendation from me,

My university essentials list

My university essentials list

Like many others around my age (I may be slightly older than some) in a matter of days I will be starting university and moving into Halls accommodation. I am so excited about this new chapter in my life but packing has turned out to be a nightmare! I have put together a few choice items aside from the obvious that I think are essential for any university student.

1. A Decent laptop (a must for writing/researching assignments and keeping in touch with family/friends)

2. Cleaning products (no one wants to live in a mouldy house/flat)

3. Playing cards (For drinking games ie Ring of fire)

4. Sewing kit (for repairing unexpected holes in clothes, unless your very lucky new clothes will not be top on your list of expenses)

5. A dvd box set (for those who cannot afford a t.v licence these can be watched on your laptop)

6. Pictures with friends from home (can be used to decorate your room and to remember funny nights out)

These are just a few items I think every student should remember, do you have any other suggestions?

Fragrance Review: Lady Gaga Fame

Fragrance Review: Lady Gaga Fame

When Gaga announced she was releasing a new fragrance I was very excited. The Mother Monster herself said that it was going to be unique and smell like an expensive hooker! The ingredients list for this scent read like ingredients in a witch’s potion: Tears of belladonna, crushed heart of tiger orchid with a black veil of incense. To top it all of the liquid perfume is jet black and supposed to turn clear on contact with skin, a first in fragrance.

I was unfortunately disappointed with this scent. I was expecting something I had never smelt before but unfortunately it just reminds me of another celebrity fragrance. With that being said it is a nice sweet fruity floral and the bottle design is elegant and glamorous. The black liquid doesn’t instantly turn clear as my colleague discovered when she had a black streak running down her arm! I would recommend this fragrance to fans of Lady Gaga, Armani code by Giorgio Armani and Black XS by Paco Rabanne.

As a Gaga fan I was expecting something utterly unique and I feel a little let down on that front but this is a nice sweet scent that lasts a long time. I hope you have found this review interesting,
