Our Lord made every women beautiful

She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her.

Requested: Fine Fragrance Collection





Hello lovelies! After doing my Travalo video I had quite a few Twitter requests to do a collection post and video of my fine fragrances. I have agreed to do this, but I didn't want to do it like other girls do.


Most beauty girls just show what they have and that tends to come off as "flashy, conceited, show-off-ish" to the viewers. So instead of just saying "Hey I own these perfumes, yay..." I wanted to make it a review of perfumes so that you lovely ladies can try them out and maybe even claim one as your signature scent! :)


-Gucci Guilty: I own the 1oz size available for $55. This is a floral-y oriental scent. When first sprayed on this starts as a floral scent but wears into the day and becomes a thicker and richer musky scent. The heart notes contain Amber and Patchouli, which may be too musky a scent for some but I have smelt perfumes that are much stronger. This fades easily in the day and may need reapplication if planning on going out that evening.This scent is great for fall and winter but can be worn in the spring as well.




-Kate Walsh Boyfriend: A gift from my boyfriend, I have the 1.6oz sold for $65. Some may not like this because it is an extremely rich and musky scent, more so than the Guilty. This is supposed to be symbolic to the scent of a man lingering on a woman's body. I know that sounds gross at first, but its supposed to remind you of wearing your boyfriends button-up that still smells of his cologne. It does not smell solely like a boy, it does have a feminine touch to it. This scent has notes Vanilla, Amber, and Jasmine. I recommend this for fall and winter use only.


-Ralph Lauren Romance: I own the 3.4oz bottle available for $84. This scent is very light and floral, and wears all day long. This perfume contains mostly floral notes of Marigold, Rose, Chamomile, Freesia, Violets, Lotus Flower, and Day Lilly. It is a very light floral scent.It makes a nice spring and summer scent.


-Acqua Di Gioia: This was another gift, I have the 1oz size available for $40 (very affordable, in  my opinion). This is a light and crisp scent. It is perfect for spring and summer. The name means  Water of Joy and the perfume translates into just that: a fresh and aquatic scent. It is one of the most different and refreshing scents I have ever experienced with notes of Italian Lemon, Mint, Pink Pepper, and Labdanum.


Those are my favorite fine fragrances, What are your favorites? I would love to try some new ones! :)

Travalo Perfume Atomizer!





Hello! Ever wanted to take you're perfume with you but the bottle was too big to carry around? Or you had a leak and you lost some product? How about the entire bottle shattered in your bag and now everything is ruined? OH NO!


There is a fix for that! (sorry for the cheesy info-mercial narrating hehe). 


I was sent a perfume atomizer by Travalo


What it is: A perfume atomizer!


Why do would I use one?
-Easy way to carry perfume on the go or while traveling
-Airport approved! (You cannot vacation with you're regular perfume bottle, airport security will take it away!)


Price: The Excel size I received is priced at $21 but the different sizes and colors range from $13-$21


Packaging: The Excel comes in a plastic clear and black bullet case with a silver vine design. The bottom is flat so you can stand it up on your vanity.


How do I fill it up: This thing is the easiest to fill up. I know Sephora also makes a perfume atomizer but their's needs to be filled with a funnel which is prone to spilling. The Travalo Excel has a special stopper on the bottom which allows the bottle to be filled easily but prevents any spills or leaks into your purse or luggage. 
1) Take the spritzer lid off your perfume bottle to expose the little tube/spout underneath
2) Place the stopper of your Travalo over the perfume spout
3) Pump the Travalo as if you were spraying perfume on yourself
4) All done!!


Travalo Excel holds: 65 sprays, about .5 ml 


Available in: 10 different colors and a handful of sizes, styles, and carrying cases!


If you're from the states, you can purchase your Travalo at the Perfume Salon!

Gucci Guilty


I was fortunate to recieve this perfume sample from Gucci; it is their newest scent Guilty. The deluxe sample came with a mini poster  and informational postcard on the Eau de Toilette. This oriental floral fragrance contains top notes of Pink Pepper, a heart note of Lilac, and base notes of Patchoili and Amber. This new scent is supposed to awaken the inner vixen in every women and encourage them to be promiscuous and have a dangerous adventure. The scent goes on light and floral at first and is very intruiging. After a few hours of wear, it will turn darker, heavier, muskier, and over all, sexier. This is definitely an evening perfume. It reminds me of a venus fly trap; the way it is beautiful and alluring yet traps you in its danger. This fragrance wouldn't be what I call dangerous but it will bring men arching their necks for another whiff as you walk by. I asked my boyfriend what he thought of it and he agreed he would hands down have an affair with a woman wearing this scent. Of course he was only kidding but the intent stays the same; this perfume lives up to its name; making you feel sexy and empowered, and maybe even a little Guilty later with the men that find your scent inviting. This retails at $75 dollars for 75 ml. In my opinion, it is worth the money; I have purchased more expensive frangrances and I plan to buy this one next! Join the band wagon, be Guilty ;)
Happy blogging!
