Robert Piguet - Calypso
I believe that lots of us are still looking for THE perfume.
Yes, I'm like that, and no matter how much I love perfumes, I sometimes wish I could only have 5 of them, and that it is enough. But, I can't, desire for them is HUGE!
I tried and wear to many perfumes, and I have it a lot (but, that is subject for some other time )
But lucky guy who stole my heart for last few months is Mr. Piguet's Calypso. But I'm not quite sure is he the ONE. I guess time will show.
Problem with me is that I can't define my taste in fragrances. I love them all, light, floral, citrus, chypre you name it.. I really love them all, every perfume on their own way, and I do believe there are no perfumes that can stink. They just don't haven't find their own public.
Calypso was a blind buy, and probably the best blind buy ever. The thing I love in this perfume is how he turn mystic on me, and I love that smelly feeling. And for that I can thank a little bit to iris, patchouli, amber and leather. Yes, leather is this note that gives him the most mystic. Beside those notes, Calypso also contain geranium, mandarin and queen of flowers - rose.
Calypso is more powdery scent, with hint of harsh smell at the moment. It is hard to describe it, because all you can smell is that powdery - gentle - warm scent of leather and all other notes blend so perfectly together. Winter and autumn are Calypso's best time of the year, but of course it can be wear during spring and summer. Little goes a long way. 2 - 3 time is enough to spray it, and he will reach his full beauty.
I would recommend this perfume for everyone who loves powdery scent, not to strong, but decent, and subtle. He will be you're companion for at least 5 to 6 hours, even more if you have it on you're clothes. His wearability is very good.
Have you find you're THE perfume aka signature scent?
Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse Multi Usage Dry Oil
I was secretly craving for this body oil, and the reason that I meditate is that I'm not a big fan of body oils. Don't like that sticky feeling on my skin, especially during summer, only the thought that I have to wear my clothes on sticky body was unthinkable for me.
But, I must say this Nuxe body oil made me think different. Since I had a chance to try it before I buy it (that even rimes) I kind of like it, and when cute demonstration girl told me that I can wear clothes same moment when I apply oil on skin, I was SOLD.
Nuxe oil comes in two versions and two sizes. One is only oil, and other is oil with sequins in it. I decided to buy this one without sequins, because other one had some synthetic smell, that I don't like so much. But, both are gorgeous, and I liked this one better.
Bottle with sequins comes only in size of 50 ml, and doesn't have spray bottle, just tiny hole on top of the product. Another version is coming in size of 50 ml (also without spray), and 100 ml.
On picture (sorry for not so perfect picture) I had one spritz, it does look like any other oil, but this one is less thick and slightly texture than Jonhdons's baby oil. And much more faster dries on skin.
It does have nice glow to my hand, smells lovely, like some subtle skin scent. It leaves skin very smooth and silky.
I must say I',m pleasantly surprised by this product, and no matter what skin type you are you can use it, because it fits everyone. You can use it for hair mask (apply it on you're hair, and leave it over the night, and wash it in the morning), for body, face, after swimming, for stretch marks etc...
Price here in Croatia for 50 ml is around 25$ and for 100 ml around 40$
