REVIEW:Suddenly Madame Glamour by Lidl EDP



Official description: None. Unofficial, it's supposed to be a dupe for Coco Mademoiselle.
Packaging: The packaging is nothing too fancy, but I've seen and had more expensive perfumes than this and the packaging wasn't that great. At least is has a pulverizer. The bottle contains 50 ml.

Texture: Golden colored perfume.
What it does: I never smelled Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle, so I can't say if it's a dupe or not. Lidl's perfume is a citrusy one and I feared it would be very synthetic smelling. Of course it's not going to be like the luxurious corespondent, but I'd say if you want something to wear on daily basis without bothering the others around you, or maybe at home (don't laugh, I wear perfume all the time because it makes me feel like I'm put together even if I'm a mess in comfy clothes and with no make-up on), than you won't have anything to lose if you give it a try. The lasting power is not that big, just about 3-4 hours, but like I said, you can use 2-3 bottles of this a month and it's still cheap as hell.
Price: 15 lei (almost 4 euros) in Lidl supermarkets.
Re-buy or pass: Yes, I will definitely buy it again and I'll also try other scents from Lidl.

Manful by Oriflame EDT review



Official description:
Feel your desires awaken with this intoxicating fusion of exotic saffron, cinnamon bark and roasted tonka bean notes. Manful Eau de Toilette exudes carnal power and cries out for closeness.
Packaging: The packaging is very simple, a white bottle with a black cap in a black box. I know it's a men perfume and so on, but I think they could have make something more special. 75 ml
Texture: The perfume has a slight redish color.
What it does: I got this perfume because I had a sample that I gave to my husband and it smelled heavenly. I came to the conclusion I like cinnamon notes in men's perfume, and my husband loves it because it's very long lasting. I kid you not, he puts it on in the morning and in the evening I can still smell it on his neck. I think it's one of the best perfumes for men made by Oriflame, if not the best. If you or your man like spicy fragrances, you should definitely try this. Let me be honest, I like the scent so much, my husband gets many more kisses daily since he's using it (wink, wink!).And everybody keeps asking what he's wearing, especially because it's a new perfume aand not many have tested it.
Price: 53 lei (12-13 euros)
Re-buy or pass:Since it has become my husband's favourite, we'll buy it as long as Oriflame doesn't discontinue it.

Sparkle in Paris by Oriflame EDT



Official description:
Embody the seductive powers of the irresistible fragrance Sparkle in Paris. Combining the sensuality of Vetiver with the dynamic freshness of Boysenberry and sparkling Champagne Accord, you’ll rouse the exhilaration and magnetism of the City of Light. 
Packaging: The bottle is very cute, with the collection's logo, an ornamented cap and a lovely shape. The box has the collection's colors, black and pink. 50 ml
Texture:  The perfume has a slight pinkish color.
What it does: Well, I had an obsession with this collection, mostly because I liked the design, so I wanted to have the perfume by all means. I had the body lotion and I loved the smell, so I figured I would like the perfume too. Well, it is a big disappointment. The scent is the same I knew, but it has absolutely no staying power on me. I even applied a generous amount of it, but after two hours the scent is gone, not only on my skin, but on my clothes too. For God's sake, my deodorant from Cien lasts longer than that, because that's the only thing I sense. With Oriflame perfumes I feel it's like hit or miss. Some are very powerful, like More by Demi Moore, and some are useless like this one. I was really in a mood for trying some of their new stuff, but now I'm turned off. Luckily, my hubby had better luck with his perfume, but I'll come to that in a different post. Bottom line, don't be fooled by the commercial and the cute design and save your money for something else.
Price: 40 lei (10 euros)
Re-buy or pass: Not only do I pass, but I regret buying it in the first place.

Bourjois Glamour Lovely Perfume review

Note: I only used a sample size of this perfume, but I think it's enough to make an opinion about it.

Official description:
Glamour Lovely – ode to pink, ode to queen rose! The fragrance is constructed as floral-fruity, modern and playful. Its composition accentuates Turkish rose refreshed with juicy green fruit and surrounded with delicate sambac jasmine. Velvety musk in the base contributes to sensuality.
Notes: Turkish rose, crisp apple, sambac jasmine, white musk.
Packaging: I don't own the perfume, but the bottle looks very cute, with the pink and the little bow.
Texture:-
What it does: I liked this perfume very much because it's delicate, feminine and not overpowering and it would be very nice for daily use. Because it's supposed to be a perfume for the romantic woman in you, it's not something flirty or sexy. I can sense the fruity notes, but it's still not too sweet because the floral notes balance everything out. Sadly, I must say it's not long-lasting. After 3 hours or so I couldn't smell it anymore. And that's a shame because I love perfumes and I have the strange habit of smelling my wrist from time to time, just to be sure the scent is still there. Yes, it's weird, I know.
Price: 80 lei (18 euros)
Re-buy or pass: Well, I wouldn't be repurchasing this perfume because I only had a sample. I must say I think the price is a bit high considering it's not that long- lasting. I mean, I had Avon perfumes that were stronger than this. But, because for there's always a but, I liked it very much so I would buy it just to satisfy my desire for actually having an entire bottle of this.
