It provides an instant confidence boost with one simple spritz. But finding your signature perfume can prove somewhat challenging with the abundance of musky, floral, citrus or even woodsy notes to choose from.
This is my first time to own a Perfume Dessert London and I am going to share with you my take on the fragrances that I got from them. They generously gifted me with 5 perfumes of different scents which you will see below:
Ok, before I start, let me clarify that I am no perfume expert but I have a special taste on perfume. I love perfumes and I have a decent collection (18 bottles of different scents) of popular brands of women fragrances like Dior, Prada, and Gucci which are all with strong scents. For that, I always prefer eau de parfum (EDP) over eau de toilette (EDT) so I was really excited when I saw that the Perfume Dessert bottles I got are all eau de parfum.
For those who don’t know yet, EDPs have more essential perfume oils and concentration of up to 15-20 percent plus less alcohol. Meanwhile EDTs are made up of only five to 15 per cent oils.
As eau de toilettes contain less perfume oils, you’ll find that their price is usually a lot lower than that of an eau de parfum. Just keep in mind – since EDPs are more potent, you can get away with applying less; whereas an EDT may take a couple of spritzes to get your desired intensity.
…Which again is another impressive factor for Perfume Dessert London as their 30 ml perfumes only cost 280Php each! It is waaaay more affordable than my usual perfumes which cost around 3,000-4,000 pesos for every 100 ml bottle. Now that’s 900-1200 pesos if they are on 30 ml bottles.
But is it worth your 280Php?
After using the perfumes for 5 days, here are some things I found are Perfume Dessert’s best qualities:
• Original and High in Quality – Based on Perfume Dessert’s FB page, their perfumes are 100% UK-made and their ingredients are all legit. Of course, I wouldn’t know if that’s true but they do have a manufacturing facility in London as I checked. The barcode in the packaging will also tell you about its origin and authenticity. Plus, the perfume’s smell itself will tell you whether it is made of real scent or just an alcohol.
In this case, I graded it LEGIT.
• Feminine Packaging – The canister-type of packaging with floral designs is lovely and could be a great gift to your girl friend, colleagues, and relatives. It also instantly gave me an idea on the smell of the perfume being sweet. And indeed, when I opened the perfumes, they smelled very closely to the Victoria’s Secret scents.
• Long Lasting Smell – It’s definitely eau de parfum! I only sprayed a few puffs on my shirt and wrist and it, indeed, lasted for over 6 hours so there’s no complaining in that part.
• Affordable! – Like I already mentioned, 280Php is very affordable for eau de parfum. And to think that the packaging in nice and smell lasts longer than you expected, this is definitely worth the penny!
And for the smell you say?
I got 5 different smells namely Peach Bourbon Popsicle, Black Raspberry, Raspberry Smoothie, Cotton Candy Unicorn, and Piña Colada.
The PEACH BOURBON POPSICLE was 100% with a sweet peach smell and I think it is a good perfume for the teens who aren’t so much into active lifestyle. As you know, sweat and sweet isn’t really a pleasant combination.
The BLACK RASPBERRY is with a bit stronger smell compared to others, making it among my faves. The smell is still sweet like vanilla ice cream berries and might be perfect for teens and young adults.
RESPBERRY SMOOTHIE has a little bit playful smell with and addition of a caramel scent on top of the juicy berry fragrance.
The COTTON CANDY UNICORN perfume is milder with a very feminine scent. I’m not actually a fan of this fragrance but I can compare it with the popular fab con brand that we have here in the country.
And lastly, PIÑA COLADA has a bit fruity smell. It’s also on the milder category and it’s perfect for the younger ladies.
Overall, the best scents for me are the PEACH BOURBON POPSICLE, BLACK RASPBERRY, and RESPBERRY SMOOTHIE.
If you want to smell differently every day, this is your perfect chance!
