What we say:
I was incredibly excited when this little parcel landed on my desk; after all – who wouldn’t want to review a designer perfume? The python skin print and scale textured box definitely suggests “exotic.” I loved this and it made a pretty addition to my dresser. Considering the packaging and the name, I was surprised by how simple and classic the actual bottle was, although it was still visually appealing. The fruity scent (black current, raspberry and grapefruit) was a bit strong at first but I liked it much more once it had settled on my skin. However, while the combination of notes was pleasant and my friends really liked it, it wasn’t particularly striking – it makes for a nice everyday fragrance but I wouldn’t recommend it if you’re looking for something with a bit of a wow factor. The scent grew quite faint after a couple of hours so it would need to be re-applied a few times during the day to have a lasting effect. Mainly for this reason I don’t think it’s a fragrance I would purchase since the bottle wouldn’t last very long.

I like the packaging of this product – it’s fun, fresh, and very modern. The detail on the box is very attractive – pink and yellow snakeskin (inspired by Jimmy Choo’s signature shoes, no doubt!). The bottle is practical too – it’s quite small, which I like. The fragrance lasts for several hours, and I did not notice much fading after applying it. This does, however, depend on personal preference – I don’t like my fragrance to smell too strong! The actual fragrance is too heavy for me – it’s quite sweet on my skin, which is not the type of smell I am usually drawn to. I think if you generally choose floral and fruity notes, you may like it. I wouldn’t buy this product simply because I prefer lighter, more subtle fragrances.

I loved the multi-coloured, textured snakeskin box. The bottle looks a bit like a orange grenade, and the perfume itself is a pretty pink. The fragrance was, to my nose, very, very sweet. I’m not a fan of strong floral or patchouli notes (they don’t suit me), so it’s not something I would choose for myself.
