They say first impressions are important and, in this series, I bring to you some of my first thoughts on new releases that I’ve sampled recently.
Burberry Her: I didn’t think I’d like Burberry Her. I really didn’t. I’ve not been a fan of the latest sweet fruity floral releases flooding the market. However, Francis Kurkdjian has taken sweetness to a whole new level with this strawberry, raspberry, cherry filled confection. It has a happy youthful feel that makes it hard to hate. Would I buy it? Probably not, but I wouldn’t mind smelling it on someone else.
Maison Martin Margiela Under the Lemon Trees: I’ve tried most of the MMM replica series fragrances, some I like (At the Barbers, Beach Walk) and some I do not (By the Fireplace). On first impression, Under the Lemon Trees falls squarely in the like category. It’s like a refreshing lemon infused green tea. Perfect for lazy summer days. Ironically it contains no lemon in the note breakdown, rather lime and petitgrain create a lemon like accord. I may purchase the 10ml travel spray.
Bvlgari Man Wood Essence: I try to find something positive to say about everything. So here we go….. Nice bottle.
Diptyque Fleur De Peau: My favourite out of the bunch though must be this iris and musk dominated 2018 release from Diptyque. It’s clean and soapy and envelops the wearer in a powdery, rosy cloud of musk. The iris here does not offer up a lipstick vibe to my nose, making it perfectly unisex. It lasted on skin all day with average projection. Will I go back for seconds? You better believe it.
Have you tried any of these new releases? What were your thoughts?
