Perfume

Recently i bought a perfume off beyond the rack and it was a perfume that i wanted for a long time but never got around to getting it until now.  This is the BVLGARI BLV Eau De Parfum II. 

I got a sample of this perfume when i went to Portland 2 or 3 years ago when it first came out and i loved it since then.  Strangely enough, this perfume wasn't available in Canada for a while and even when it was, it is not easy to get your hands on.  I went to stores and saw that they did not have this particular kind.  The only places you can get them are at large department stores, such as The Bay and Sears, which retails for about $92 a bottle.

When Beyond the Rack had a perfume sale and i saw this perfume, i decided it was time to get a new smell.  My boyfriend told me that perhaps now that i have started to work, it would be worth while to get a more mature smell but still pertain that fun, fresh, youthful radiance my other perfumes demonstrates so well.  I pretty much only use certain perfumes because i didn't want to spend a grand amount of money on the purchase of perfumes, especially when i know i probably won't be able to finish any of them.  Thus, my other favourite perfumes that i use on the daily bases include, Ralph Lauren Cool (pink bottle), Ralph Lauren (blue bottle) and Britney Spear Curious. All these other bottles radiates that youthful fun smell, but most of these i find are great for the summer, not so great for the winter.  So i decided that BLV eau de parfum II would be a great add to my collection and a great smell to have for the winter or more sophisticated gatherings.

I got this for about $50 including taxes and shipping, which is still half of what it would cost to get it at the department store in Canada.  It was a great buy and i would describe this smell as fresh but floral, with a hint of citric to it.  I definitely think that it adds some class and sophistication in a natural way.  Perfumes aren't something that i would recommend buying for someone, unless you know for sure they like the smell.  But if they ask me what type of perfume i would recommend, it would be this one.  However, everyone has their own sense of self, therefore their own tastes and desires, so i wouldn't offended if people hate this smell that i love so much.
