Chanel Chance Eau Vive

Every spring, Chanel beauty comes up with a fresh, new take on their classic fragrance, Chance. And each time, they manage to make this scent more amazingly decadent. This year, it’s all about an energizing sensation; a creation that gives momentum, like the intense energy that drives those born under a lucky star… Now, I wasn’t born under a lucky star (at least I don’t think so – but can you imagine how cool that would  be), but Chanel Chance Eau Vive, surely has the stuff that makes magic! It smells fresh, vibrant, energetic and just downright delicious! It launches internationally this June, and in South Africa, you can get yours from the 18th June 2015. CHANCE EAU VIVE is the first interpretation created by perfumer Olivier Polge. The juice is a concentration of zesty, fresh and energetic citrus notes. It opens with a gorgeous bitter bite of grapefruit that settles with a grapefruit-blood orange accord. As it develops, you’ll discover hints of jasmine and white musks before the fragrance fully develops and reveals the base notes of fresh vetiver and cedar-iris. If chance won’t come to you, then you must simply go find your CHANCE… Pricing: 50ML EDT –…

My Fave Summer Fragrances

It’s been a smouldering hot summer, but before we head on into Autumn, I wanted to share some of my favourite summer scents that I’ve been rotating throughout this gorgeous season. When the heat rises, I tend to gravitate towards fresh, bright, softer and more delicate scents. I’m not a fan of sickly sweet-floral or candy scents, but I do love the smell of freshly cut flowers or scents that remind me of summer gardens. YSL Black Opium One of my most worn scents this summer, especially for night, has got to be YSL Black Opium. This scent is soooo gorgeous and addictive! I guess the coffee bean note gives me an instant mind boost. I also love how it develops into a mix of jasmine and light vanilla before settling into woody and patchouli notes. HUGO BOSS MA VIE For day, I like to wear HUGO BOSS MA VIE. This scent is beautifully packaged in a gorgeous pastel pink bottle and is all about playfulness with a powerful dash of sexy. It opens with an invograting fresh note of Cactus Blossom, combined with notes of Suave Pink Freesia, Jasmine Petals and Delicate Rose Bud. L’Occitane Fleurs de Cerisier A…

A Sparkling New Chance

 Delicate, dancing and sparkling; chance presents itself when you least expect it. Don’t let it fly away!  This month sees the launch of some sparkling new goodies from the Chanel CHANCE fragrance collection. If you, like me are in love with Chanel’s fragrance, CHANCE, then these new launches are bound to make your Friday! On the 16th June 2014, Chanel will unveil three new shimmering products for the body! They smell ahhh-mazing, with notes of CHANCE, CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE and CHANCE EAU TENDRE. There’s the CHANCE SHIMMERING BODY CREAM (R1080), CHANCE EAU FRAÎCHE SHIMMERING TOUCH (R775) and CHANCE EAU TENDRE SHIMMERING POWDERED PERFUME (R930), all with a gorgeous scent and a shimmering glow that sparkles on your skin. I got to sample the Shimmering Powdered Perfume and the Shimmering Touch, and while I’m not big into “SPARKLE”, Chanel does it just right, to give you a gorgeous shimmer without making you look like a Christmas tree! For those days when you don’t want to spray perfume, a little dollop of CHANCE Shimmering Touch gives you a lovely, fresh smell with hints of sparkle. And for those days when you wan’t to smell amazing all over, dust a little CHANCE Shimmering Powdered Perfume on your décolletage, shoulders and arms.…

Mistified!

Only a few more weeks of winter left, and then… SUMMER! I’m already enjoying summer (in Greece), but before I left SA, I made sure to pack my trusty facial mists and summer mist sprays. These are an absolute godsend when the weather heats up, and it gets helluva hot in Greece. The nice thing about mists and sprays, is that they give you an instant boost of hydration, which means you can bear the heat just a bit longer! Chanel Chance – Eau Tendre Sheer Moisture Mist It’s been mentioned here and there, that spraying perfume onto your neck and then going out into the sun is a no-no. I don’t know too much about the facts, but it does kinda make sense. What I do know, is that sun = sweat and sweat = not so fabulous smell! So CHANEL Chance Eau Tendre Sheer Moisture Mist is perfect! You can still smell good, while you get a nice cooling mist sprayed onto your body! It really does feel like a gentle breeze on your skin. The smell instantly boosts your mood too! You feel fresh and ready for a few more hours out in the heat of summer. You…
