Valen’s Vanity Square

My sister just came back from a working trip in UK, and that means…. present-receiving time!!

I got this small bottle of fragrance - Estee Lauder’s Pleasures Exotic.

A sparkling blend of exotic fruits and flowers, with a seductive fusion of Mango Passion Fruit Cocktail, juicy Citrus Fruits and watery Lychee combined with Island Bamboo Flowers, Orange blossom and dewy Bougainvillea Vine.

I love floral type of fragrance, that’s why I love the Pleasures perfume series. So now I have two fragrances from Estee Lauder; the other one is Pleasures Intense. I hope I would be able to, sooner or later, collect the other two - Pleasures (original) and Pleasures Delight.

When it comes to fragrance, it can take me ages to finish a bottle, let alone two bottles.

I am currently using Estee Lauder’s Pleasure Intense and DKNY’s Be Delicious Eau de Parfum Sprays.

Pleasure Intense has been occupying my dressing table for more than 3 years, while I bought Be Delicious more than a year ago.

I like both fragrances and I use them to create different moods.

Pleasure Intense is floral scented, more intense than its first version Pleasure. I associate it with the womanly side of me; it makes me feel totally feminine, soft and gentle. You know, it’s like lying down on a bed of freshly cut flowers in the woods. A real pleasure. I usually use it when go dating with hubby in the evening, hehe. As its name says, the perfume is quite intense, thus a light spray will do.

When I want to feel modern, chic and vibrant, I will spray on the juicy Be Delicious. Inside the sleek metal, apple-shaped glass bottle is a concoction of scents extracted from apple and a beautiful mixture of flowers and woods. I use it when I go out in the day time. It lifts up my spirit and I instantly feel refreshed. However, its scent is quite subtle and doesn’t seem to last very long, so it won’t be too overpowering even if you give yourself a generous spray.

Actually, two bottles of fragrance may be too little for a woman to fully express herself, don’t you think so?
It would be nice if I can add just another one into my insignificant collection of fragrance.

I’m quite interested in the new fragrance Covet from Sarah Jessica Parker.

I don’t know how the fragrance smells like; the description I read about sounds like this:

“…Impulsive, indulgent, and irresistible….ultra feminine fragrance….. a seductive blend of chocolate, magnolia, and amber musks.”

Well, if it’s coming from SJP, how can it not be sexy, charming and alluring?

Besides available as parfum de spray, Covet also comes in the form of solid perfume compact (so cute!). I’ve never used a solid perfume, but I think it would do a lot of convenience for travelling purpose.

Now, I need to find out if Covet is already available in the local department stores. All I know is that you can get it from amazon.com.
