So my friend's daughter always wanted her own perfume. I figured - she wont really know what to look for in a perfume, and her mom wont be too upset if I didnt spend lots of money on a well-branded perfume.
So for her 12th Birthday I bought her this perfume - the packaging, the smell and the look of the bottle on whole made her birthday complete.
Even tho she has used up her quota of the bottle, she still keeps the perfume bottle in her room

The 10ml like a first day in spring came in the gift pack I bought from clicks its valued at about R60 and it smells so nice. It has a fruity yet floral which kind of reminds me of the hoity toity perfume. It really does remind me of a first day in spring :-)

I'd call this a teenagers fragrance! It's overwhelmingly fruity and has no staying power at all! Got mine in the r100 makeup bag on offer from clicks! I keep this in the car for odd smells !

Now when I hear of a perfume that is both fruity and floral I just have to have it .. This scent from Essence is quite refreshing with various notes such as peach ,lemon ,sandalwood to name a few.Essence is an affordable brand and so far I have gotten what I paid for. This scent is not long lasting ,I have to respray every 2 hours or so and its ok by me as I was not expecting it to last overnight considering it is quite cheap.

So this also came in my Essence R100 make up bag. Although the price is good, i'm not really a huge fan of the perfume. It has a very strong, overwhelming fruity smell. The bottle size is 10ml.

I am pretty sure that Dischem has by far the widest range of perfumes ever and every time I go there, I must stop at the perfume section to try the testers, pick up a few samples and buy a fragrance or two.

Now the essence range of perfumes are not only cutely packaged but they smell incredibly awesome too and how convenient that my dischem store always have samples ready for me (just joking) but, I did manage to try this out.

Awwww the scent remind me of fresh blackberries mixed with vanilla and apples, doesn't that sound delicious? I was instantly swpt away.

Its not really the fragrance I would consider buyng for myself but, I have lady friends that would love a little something like this so I would buy it for them and by the way, I don't know anyone that doesn't like smelling good :-)

Great gift between friends

I am in love, with the new fragrances from the essense range.
They are beautiful, fun, amazing, awesome, cute, colourful and I just cannot get enough of them. Once again, essense never fails to deliver on my expectations, this is another winner from them. Such a delightful range!
The smell is breath taking, my fav and new bff is the 'Like a walk in the summer rain'..from fresh to floral, from warm to woodsy.
I wish I could buy all of them and I feel like a schoolgirl that just dicovered a prescious flower in my back yard.

the perfect gift with essence… it’s just a spray away


From what I understand these fragrances are quite reasonably priced; I got mine a gift from a friend.

Being a essence brand lover, I was super excited when I came know about perfumes from essence. I tested all six of them and picked up Like a First day in Spring. This perfume come in a pink green packaging and is very attractive. It is not at all overpowering and stays on for a long time.

Coming to the scent it fruity and floral. I am loving it...

Will be collecting the other variants as they are so affordable..

I finaly got to try this pretty bottle of perfume from Essence.
I was delighted to get it as a Birthday present from a dear friend..
I never tried essence range before,so this was a special experience..
Blossoms in the air Floral,fruity makes you feel alive.

So everyone knows about Essence's amazing beauty products which have the best quality you can ever find, but have you ever come across the new perfume range from Essence? Well I read about it last year on the Essence website but I didn't really purchased it because it hasn't been in South Africa until NOW! I was super excited because there was an amazing range of perfumes.

The range had perfumes called:
Like a day in a candy Shop
Like a new love
Like a trip to NY
Girls night out
Like a walk in the summer rain
Like a first day in spring

I didn't really have time to smell all, but the perfume 'Like a First Day in Spring' caught my attention the most, the box was lime green with a hot pink, light pink and purple flowers, butterflies and shapes throughout the box and a shiny silver ribbon imprint which wrapped around the front of the box. I was hooked just by the box and tested the perfume first.

I was so excited, the perfume had a sweet scent which was really girly, I found the scent was very floral and fruity and has a lovely musk scent. I really didn't have time to choose and be picky so I grabbed this one of the shelf because to me it really smelt great.

I used it to campus today and it was amazing, the scent was strong and fruity but not overwhelming, I felt the perfume lasted all day and I didn't need any touch ups. I would recommend you give this perfume a try it smells amazing and is really affordable. It comes in a 10ml which retails for R45 while a larger 50ml bottle which retails around R89.
