Fragrance Fridays - Kiehl's PATCHOULI & FRESHROSE FRAGRANCE

This Fragrance Friday brings to you Kiehl's Patchouli & Freshrose Fragrance. 

There's a story behind this beautiful Kiehl's package, this was gifted to me by the husband and while I was very happy, somewhere in my mind there was a voice which was like, " Man ! 'Rose', I may have to exchange this one ". But, it so happened that I decided to keep this and I am so glad I did .. enough rambling and on to today's post :)

This is what Kiehl's say :

Aromatic Blends represents Kiehl's authentic apothecary heritage of inspiring fragrance blends. Combining ingredients inspired from around the world, our unique fragrances utilize the finest naturally derived ingredients. Our latest addition to the range is a decadent fusion of Rose and Patchouli with underlying hints of bergamot and mandarin orange.

Kiehl's has launched a body lotion, shower gel and an EDT in this range. I haven't yet tried the body lotion and the shower gel. The EDT comes in a simple, clear bottle with a silver lid. Its a nice size (30 ml) and is good for keeping in your bag. 

I am not a big fan of rose fragrance and was worried that I will not like the range, but surprisingly the smell is not very rosy or very sweet, which totally works for me. 

Kiehl's Patchouli & Freshrose Fragrance, is a beautiful floral smell with a subtle rose, fresh and citrus mix. 
I have been really loving this EDT, the fragrance is  very clean and light and not overpowering at all as some rose fragrances can be.  I don't know how Patchouli smells so really cannot say if I can sniff it in this EDT. 

This fragrance is very different to the perfumes I have, but is a welcome change for me. I am intoxicated ! 
I would definitely recommend this. Give this a sniff next time you are at a Kiehl's store.

Price 
30 ml - AU 31$. 

Kiehl's Patchouli & Freshrose Fragrance can be bought from their website and stores.

Fragrance Fridays - Palmolive Naturals Revitalising Peach Kernel with Vitamin E

This Fragrance Fridays 'Palmolive Naturals Revitalising Peach Kernel with Vitamin E'.

If you missed the previous Fragrance Fridays and are wondering what it is, it is a new section on my blog, click HERE to see the previous Fragrance Fridays.

I love Palmolive Shower gels. They smell fantastic and are really good for the money. I have been really enjoying ' Palmolive Naturals Revitalising Peach Kernel with Vitamin E' this week. I am completely head over heels over the smell of this shower gel. It is very subtle, refreshing and summery. This lathers up beautifully. I love the tiny beads in the shower gel as they call for extra exfoliation. 

Overall I think they are great value for the money.

Price - 5.99 AUD

Fragrance Fridays - Lush 'Big'

TGIF !! It is Fragrance Fridays time. 

If you missed the previous Fragrance Friday and are wondering what it is, it is a new section on my blog, click HERE to see the previous Fragrance Friday featuring Lush Mint Julips lip scrub. 

I was never much into Lush, but in case you are wondering, YES, I am having a big LUSH moment ..and I really looking forward to haul soon ..

Anyways, coming to today's post, this Friday features Lush 'Big' Sea Salt Shampoo.

This shampoo is freaking different and AHHH I am in love with it ..I am in love with the smell, to the extent that I keep smelling my hair after using it ..I am not sure how to describe the smell, but it is a very fresh and has a hint of citrus notes. I want to keep using it as I love the fragrance so much.

It is different as it comes in a tub and feels like putting big chunks of salt on your hair, which I for one find very interesting. The texture is gritty and I would not recommend it as a regular shampoo, as it can be a bit drying. 

I use it once a week. It cleans up the hair well. I do not notice it making my hair BIG as it claims, but makes my hair all fluffy and nice and gives them some added volume over regular shampoos. 

Have you tried BIG ?

Fragrance Fridays - Lush Mint Julips

Hi everyone, 

We are starting a new section on The Vanity Bag Diaries called 'Fragrance Fridays', this section is all about awesome smelling products, products that I am smitten by ..

Fragrance Fridays will be featuring mini reviews of these products.

This Fragrance Friday features Lush's 'Mint Julips' lip scrub.

If I have to sum up this  product in a line, I would say, this product is a sugary, minty, chocolatey goodness that makes your lips soft and smooth. 

If you are a lipstick lover, then there is nothing worse than having dry and flaky lips .. Lush Lip scrub is here to rescue.. It is actual castor sugar with peppermint and jojoba oil. The texture is gritty but not harsh on the lips ..leaves your lips smooth and moisturized ..Overall the scrub is a win for me ..

The smell is so good, that you want to  eat it and like Lush says, it makes you crave mint-chocolate chip  ice  cream.

Price - AUD 9.95 for 25gms 

Hope you enjoyed the new section..Have a good weekend..
