Christian Dior: Miss Dior Eau De Parfum



Hi everyone,

Happy early Valentine's Day! Have anybody bought or received any presents yet? I had always think that Perfume is an excellent choice for presents at anytime of the year, and today we shall talk about one from Christian Dior. My hubby has bought me the perfect gift at a very nice time, the Miss Dior Eau De Parfum.

I have owned & tested quite a number of different scents from different brands but this is the first time I'm trying Christian Dior's fragrance. Most Eau De Toilette don't last on me and maybe is due to the extremely humid, hot weather in Singapore?!? I find that the quality is not there due to the mass market productions if I compare it to 10 years ago where Eau De Toilette actually last on me, and that is why I prefer Eau De Parfum.

Expensive yes but it is better then buying something that the scent disappear almost less then half an hour.

Christian Dior: Miss Dior Eau De Perfum fragrance is created for an “elegant and spirited young woman in love”. It glides from the sharp charm of a fresh, fruity, citrus prelude into blossoming floral notes, then on to the noble elegance of patchouli, before finally concluding with musk. 

Top Note: Essence of Italian Mandarin
Heart Note: Jasmine
Base Note: Essence of Indonesia Patchouli

It is interesting to note that by today’s standards Miss Dior smells “old-fashioned”(in a very good way), even though it is created for young women. An unique fragrance and I love it.

So what do you think? What type of fragrance do you like?

Have a great Valentine's day!
XOXO Diana

Yves Rocher: So Elixir (Perfume)


Yves Rocher is a simple, effective and affordable brand and since I love their Yves Rocher: Moment De Bonheur Perfume so much I finally went to get another perfume scent. And this time I got their

Yves Rocher: So Elixir Eau De Parfum (SGD $50 for 30ml) is described as a Chypre Floral Fragrance for women and was launched in 2011.

  • Top Notes: Bergamot
  • Mid Notes: Jasmine, Rose
  • Base Notes: Patchouli, Incense, Tonka Bean
Its a sensual, feminine and gorgeous scent that makes you feel sexy. The packaging is simple and yet bold. Yves Rocher can be your little "secret go to" unique, high-quality fragrance without high-quality price tag.


I still have another 2 fragrances on my list that I would like to get from them because the lasting power of their fragrances are great which a lot of scents now a days will just disappear immediately or just last 3 hours max.There are different scents you can choose from them. You could check out if there is a store in your country where you live, just google it. 


Do you own any Yves Rocher fragrances? It is a worthy try for sure.

Yves Rocher: Moment De Bonheur (Perfume)



Yves Rocher created Botanical Beauty 50 years ago in the heart of Bretagne, France. They harvested their own organically grown plants and extract the best ingredients from the plants and manufactured the products in their own factories. They have skin care, make up, body care, both and shower, hair care and their very own fragrances.

Yves Rocher is a simple, effective and affordable brand that is now in Singapore at the new mall West Gate in Jurong East at level 2 unit #02-16. I first discover this brand through my friend 'Val' and find that their prices are extremely affordable compare to other imported brands in Singapore.

I have yet to try their skin and body care products but would love to soon, and I simply love most of their fragrances and their reasonable pricing. For your info I don't like fragrances that are too sweet, those are just not my cup of tea.

Yves Rocher: Moment De Bonheur (SGD $45 -$50 for 50ml/ 1.7fl oz) is describe as a feminine fragrance with a burst of green and fresh head notes of Rose Centifolia, a quality rose with soft, subtle scent. Finally, the woody base with the notes of Patchouli and Cedar that adds a vibrant and elegance. I have always love fragrance with notes of woody scent in them which I find adds a touch of mystery. I definitely put their fragrances next in line after all the expensive Cleo perfumes I own which are my favourites. And lastly the packaging of the glass bottle looks very elegant, classy and a very pretty ombre effect of purple to green.

If you don't like fragrances that smell like every other person walking down the street, Yves Rocher can be your little "secret go to" unique, high-quality fragrance without high-quality price tag.

I still have a number fragrances on my list that I would like to get from them because the lasting power of their fragrances are great which a lot of scents now a days will just disappear immediately or just last 3 hours max.There are different scents you can choose from them. You could check out if there is a store in your country where you live, just google it. 

Do you own any Yves Rocher fragrances? What are some of your favourites?
Anything that you think I should try next?

Victoria's Secret Bombshell Perfume



Victoria's Secret has been in Singapore for quite sometime now and its my first time getting their perfume. Bombshell is what my hubby got me for a Valentine's day gift, since I have been eyeing on it for quite a few months. Firstly I am not a fan of scents that are too sickly sweet or has too much vanilla in it and I do prefer a stronger musky/woody scent, so this is great for me.


Victoria's Secret: Bombshell (SGD $110 for 100ml/3.4 fl oz) is describe as a sexy fruity floral type of fragrance.

  • Top Notes: Tangelo, Pineapple, Strawberry, Purple Passion Fruit
  • Middle Notes: Jasmine, Red Berries, Muguet, Shangri-la Peony, Vanilla Orchid
  • Dry-down Notes: Musk, Blonde Woods, Oakmoss

    The fragrance stays and last well on me for an 8 hour wear which is pretty good, now a days most fragrances will disappear immediately soon after I step out of the door. The packaging is sweet, girly and a bit chic which would appeal to a lot of females out there.
There are still a lot of different fragrances to choose from at Victoria's Secret if you are not keen Bombshell so don't worry and I am pretty sure to will like at least one from them. (P.S. Already got another 2bottles of their travel friendly 30ml/1 fl oz of Eau De Toilette fragrances and I can't wait to share with you gals out there what I got!)
    Which is your favorite fragrances/products from Victoria's Secret?
    Till then,
    Have a nice day all!!
