YSL La Nuit De L’Homme – EDT/Aftershave

Thursday, 10th November, 2011

I got YSL La Nuit De L’Homme EDT today, and I absolutely love it! It smells so nice, it could be my favourite Fragrance of this year.

It is really hard to describe smells sometimes, and this is one of those. It is a darker smell, more intense and a little bit woody, but not too much. It is not fruity/citrus, which I am not the biggest fan of, but is not too heavy. I would recommend this to be worn on a night, maybe not as a day scent, because it is a little strong, but it depends on how you like to smell.

I think it is so nice! 😀

As it is Christmas time of year I got a gift set which was the same price as the bottle, which is 60ml. Included in the gift set is the usual aftershave balm and shower gel.

I originally went to have a smell of the YSL L’Homme Libre, which is also very nice, but more light. I will get that for Christmas,  and bought this today.


My Fragrances – Gucci vs 212 By Carolina Herrera

Thursday, 1st September, 2011

So two of the brands which I love when it comes to fragrances and EDT’s are Gucci and 212 by Carolina Herrera. I have got a few 212’s and have liked them for a while, and I have some Gucci’s too, which I love probably more than any.

I have 2 prestige Gucci’s the bottles on the left and right. I got these for Christmas one year, and do not use them much. The smell is very strong, and is an old school musky smell. One is an EDT spray and the other is aftershave lotion. This is what I call “man smell” because it smells like old traditional aftershave. The bottle in the middle is Gucci Envy, which could be my all-time favourite scent. I love it. I got a bottle in 2006, and loved it so much I had to track down another bottle last year and finally did. Its quite hard to come by these days, and is old. I also have Gucci by Gucci, which smells amazing. Very strong and powerful, it is a really good smell. The newest to the collection is Gucci Guilty. This smells a little less powerful than the previous, but is still a nice smell.

Now to the 212. The first to the left is the first one I got, and the best out of the three. It is 212 Sexy Men. Its a strong and powerful smell but quite light and fruity with a little bit of spice. The next is the bottle on the right, simply called 212 Men. This is a more fresh smell, but still smells pretty good. 212 VIP Men is the bottle in the middle, and has a magnetic top just like the previous two. Again this is a nice smell, and is currently the newest in the collection.

Do you own any of these? What do you think?


Lacoste Blue L12.12 – Little And Large

Thursday, 11th August, 2011

I got the latest Lacoste blue EDT a few months back, and then a week or so later I got another bottle for my birthday! It is really nice, out of the three Lacoste L12.12 which came out this year I like this one the best. The others are nice, but I prefer this one. It is a more powerful stronger smell, whereas the white for example is a more fresh smell.

If you are looking for a new scent, give this a try 🙂


Hugo Boss Bottled Night: Smells Soo Good!

Saturday, 31st July, 2010

I got some more smelly stuff! 😛 Its Hugo Boss Bottled Night, and it smells sooooo good!! 🙂 Its my favourite smell this year i think, i got the 50ml EDT bottle which was £35.

It has a very strong and rich smell, its definatly a night smell which is where it got its name i guess. I will be wearing this alot, it is hard to describe a smell, but it is good.

Its the new fragrance from Hugo Boss, I have a few of theirs, and this is by far there best effort, its really nice 🙂
