Valentines Day SOTD- Juliette Has a Gun - Miss Charming

Image
To me Miss Charming by Juliette Has a Gun is the perfect Valentines Day scent even if you don't celebrate it. I find it is a quite linear scent and doesn't change much on me, just fades over time. It opens up with luscious fresh roses sweetened by lychees and red berries. This scent is very good quality and doesn't smell like artificial flavourings so many scents possess these days. I love wearing it when I have dates with my husband and it is one of few perfumes he truly likes. I came across Juliette Has a Gun perfume brand at Queens Plaza David Jones. The name was indeed fascinating so I had  go home and learn more about it. The brand was started by Romano Ricci (a grandson of Nina Ricci) and one of my favourite perfumers Francis Kurkdjian! They only have 11 perfumes in their range but all of them are very very good.

L'Artisan Parfumeur L'Eau de L'Artisan

Change of seasons inspired me to get this refreshing and light fragrance. L'Eau de L'Artisan combines basil, mint, lemon, verbena, marjoram, woody notes, tea and moss into a beautiful fresh green and herbal scent.  I've been moving away from popular scents. I love discovering "niche" fragrances that smell different. I got this one from strawberrynet and it was a blind buy. It pleasantly surprised me as it smelled like fresh herbs with a bit of citrus. On me it has moderate sillage and moderate lasting power (after 5 hours I can just detect a hint of it) making it a perfect day time scent.
