Victoria's Secret Berry Kiss EDT Review

Here is the bottle...


- 30mL
- Made in USA


Packaging
- nice small simple packaging
- lightweight
- travel friendly

Fragrance
- berry-licious scent!
- smells very very berry
- doesn't last very long on me but it is an EDT (I guessimate that it lasts about an hour on me, but different skins it would last differently!)

Where did I purchase mine? And how much was it?
Singapore International Airport! I was really happy to see that they had VS! The price I paid was about SG$20.00.

Would I repurchase?
Hmm... I LOVE THE SCENT for its berry-ness but I think I like it more as a body cream (will do a review on that soon so stay tuned!) rather than a fragrance! So, no I would not repurchase.

Overall
For an everyday fragrance it is ideal because it is relatively inexpensive (check out their website here, however I do not see this particular scent, they have others in their line though) but it is a bit too fruity for me. I am more into florals. It is a bit different and not something I have smelled on other people ever before!


What's your fave VS scent? What do you like purchasing from VS?

Lancome Miracle EDP Review




This is the 100mL bottle

- it is very florally, fresh and feminine
- if the liquid in your bottle is not light pink, it is off! You have either gotten an old product that is no longer fresh or you have had yours for too long and this means that if you continue to use it the product would not last as long on your skin as it used too.

- I have since given this bottle ( and two other ones... my bad for buying back ups! No more I say!) to my mother... why?

- At first I found this worked well with my skin chemistry - it was lovely, fresh and suited my mood for the spring

- Now, when I spray it on I have a slight headache, the smell doesn't smell like it used to (and this is within 6 months of usage, the expiry date of perfumes is generally 2 - 3 years from opening date). Have this happened to anyone else?


Who would I recommend this fragrance for?
People who like florals

Would I repurchase?
No.

Overall Rating
3.5 (Average with great lasting power - the next day you can still smell the scent on your clothes!)


What's your fave summer/spring fragrance? Or do you wear the same fragrance all year round?
