Victoria's Secret Gorgeous Perfume Review ~ Eau De Parfum ~ Strawberry, Sandalwood

Hey there Gorgeous ;)

This review is for one of my favorite Victoria's Secret Perfumes ~ Gorgeous! I have a lot to say about this Perfume so let's get started! 

Isn't this bottle Gorgeous!? :)

This perfume and I have a love/tolerate ;) relationship. When it first came out I got a sample size as a free gift to an order I placed a few years ago. When I first smelled it I was in love and I knew I had to get the full size. I ended up using my sample size bottle and then I forgot about it for awhile. 

Recently I seen it's been discontinued and I remembered how much I loved it so I logged in to trusty eBay to search for a bottle. (The price was awesome by the way, they're about 40% off normal Victoria's Secret prices if you're interested in getting a bottle. Right now the market is flooded with bottles but soon they'll be hard to find and expensive. :( 

I got my bottle in the mail about a week ago and since then have been using it daily! There are some things I'm loving and some I don't like about this perfume. 

The Packaging

First off, I love the appearance of the perfume bottle and packaging. The pink is so pretty and looks adorable on my vanity. It really stands out among the other perfumes. :) The Atomizer (I call it the Puffer) is very old Hollywood Glamour and adds some cute sophistication to the bottle's appearance. 

Unfortunately the Puffer doesn't work very well :( 

I'm not sure if it's like this on all bottles but my puffer doesn't like to Puff and it takes some vigorous puffing of the puffer to get some scent out. So, that's not great.

The Scent

 Perfume Notes:

Top:

Wild Strawberry, Mandarin Orange

Middle:

 Jasmine, Freesia

Base:

 Musk & Sandalwood

At first it's very fruity from the Wild Strawberry. Immediately after you smell a strong floral scent consisting of the Jasmine and Freesia, Musk, and Sandalwood. In my opinion all of these scents are very apparent. I can smell each one individually. Very Sweet, Floral then a Sandalwood-Musk. I think the scent is light, very clean and flirty. It reminds me a lot of Very Wang Princess and Viva La Juicy.  I would consider this a Spring & Summer daytime wear scent. Perfect for an evening date, especially to the movies because your date won't need a gas mask, hehe ;) (Guys hate being fumigated! :)

Meanwhile,

Projection & Lasting Power

The projection on this perfume is fair, my boyfriend says he hardly notices it and unfortunately the scent disappears almost completely within a few hours! If I spray it on myself before I leave, my boyfriend will get in the car and he says it's not very noticeable  I can hardly smell it on my scarf (an item I sprayed) the next day. The scent dissipates rather quickly. 

Overall

Overall this Perfume has a few problems from the Puffer to the lasting power however, the cuteness of the bottle and the scent itself makes it worth buying! I rate this perfume 4 Kisses ;) The lasting power can easily be fixed by just carrying the bottle in your handbag and reapplying every few hours. :)

Would I purchase Victoria's Secret Gorgeous again?

I would definitely purchase this Perfume again. I love the scent! :)

Victoria's Secret Merry Merry Pink ~ Winter Berry & Magnolia ~ Limited Edition

Victoria's Secret released 3 Limited Edition PINK Scents this winter. One of them being Merry Merry Pink! You can choose between Body Spray, Body Mist, Body Lotion and Shimmer Lotion. 

This lotion has a delicious scent that's warm and woodsy like fresh pines, with a strong floral magnolia and a hint of dark berry. The floral scent is very strong and is much like a floral perfume. This lotion smells very wintry  It reminds me a lot of Frosted Sugar plum with a pungent Magnolia. (If you've ever smelled a Gardenia [little white flower] they are similarly scented and in power) Musky, full bodied, and strong like a man's cologne but flowery. It's very moisturizing and made my skin soft. The only thing I don't like about it is the Shimmer. The only kind of shimmer lotion I like is the 'glow' shimmer like what comes in self tanning (little tiny gold flecks) or like in the Michael Kors Leg Shine. The shimmer in this lotion is more like sparkles, though they are tiny, they reflect lots of colors. :) The chemical ingredients also seem to be pretty excessive. I do believe I will be retiring my sparkle lotion and opt for the body mist instead. :) 

Product/Sparkle Sample
