FACT: You read the title in your head with your best possible french accent...
The last time I put in an order for Sephora they were offering a deluxe sample of Guerlain's La Petite Robe Noire fragrance so I snatched one up. I've always wanted something from the brand but as you may know, it's hella expensive. To put it in perspective, Sephora recently put Guerlain's Illuminating Powder on sale from $59 to $58 - saving you ONE WHOLE DOLLAR! What a bargain, right?
So I figured any perfume from the brand would make me feel like I was bathing in liquid luxury. And while it does indeed smell "expensive", it's not my cup of tea.
To first describe the scent, I'd say it has a strong base of black cherry. I also detected a bit of a powdery essence to it. There is something smoky about it, too.
There's a little too much going on here for me to fall in love here. The black cherry bit can come off a bit too much like cough syrup at times and the smokiness makes it a little hard to breathe in at all.
Would I be interested in purchasing a full size, based on the sample? No
It's not a horrible scent, but at $64 for the smallest size, it's not something I'm willing to drop that chunk of change on.
You can find more information about this fragrance at the Sephora website.
First and foremost, HAPPY SUPERBOWL DAY! I know it's not technically a holiday, but its the only day that practically every other channel throws in the towel on their regular programming and just shows reruns, (can't tell you how P.O.'d I am that I can't get my new dose of Mob Wives & Once Upon a Time tonight. Mob Wives even came on New Years!). I'm not much into pro football, more into college games, so I don't have any vested interest in tonight's game. But for the hell of it, GO GIANTS!, just because I don't like Tom Brady's hair lol. Who are you rooting for?
Anyways.....I've been drooling over the Guerlain Terracotta 4-Seasons Bronzer for about a year now. I like the idea of being able to adjust your bronzer within just one product for the change of season or moods or what have you. Why haven't I just copped it yet than, you ask? Well, no real reason other than it being SEVENTY-FOUR FRIGGIN' DOLLARS!!! WTF? Apparently its made with real gold, but you know what? I don't particularly need real gold on my face. I'm perfectly fine with the fake gold shimmer we've all been living with all this time. I think I prefer it actually because when companies make bronzer with it they don't cost SEVENTY-FOUR FRIGGIN' DOLLARS!! But I digress...there may be a bronzer from Physicians Formula that could satiate my desire for this guy, check it out after the jump!
