  • Surprise! I like So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist!

    If you’ve read enough of my blog posts/product reviews, you l know how much I love body mists. They’re one of the most affordable forms of fragrance you can get and they can be purchased anywhere from a supermarket, to a discount store or even a chemist. I THOUGHT I knew what I liked fragrance wise, but So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist has caught me slightly off guard. Given to me as a gift last year, I’ve just started to use this, so what is it like?

    So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist
    Packaging

    This is actually the travel sized version and is 50ml in size. Plastic, clear bottle with a very simple floral illustration on the front. There’s nothing special in regards to how it looks, but this size is incredibly sweet to look at and very practical to carry around day to day.

    Fragrance

    When I think of sweet pea, rightly or wrongly, I think old fashioned. Floral, old, not very appealing and one dimensional. So…? Unique’s Sweet Pea Body Mist is nothing like this. Yes it’s floral, but more white floral based, so not heavy but still feminine and very pretty. There’s an almost sweet effervescence to this because it’s quite energising and there’s no mistaking my personal favourite of vanilla is in this too. This body mist is actually really REALLY good and perfect for Spring/Summer.

    Strength & Longevity

    When first applied (I always spray fragrance on clothes not on skin), it’s very noticeable but in quite a natural way so strength is light to medium. Longevity is what I would expect for this type of fragrance and I can still smell the fragrance hours after use but it’s very light. I would normally say this would be great stronger, and yes I would love it to be. But the type of scent this is I think the strength and longevity is actually perfect and doesn’t need to be a power force.

    Recommended?

    I’m not messing about, yes I completely recommend this! It’s one of those scents you think will smell a certain way but ends up being totally different. Any age could wear and like this, even if you’re not a massive floral fan like me! It’s such a lovely fragrance which makes me smile every time I use it which is how fragrances should make you feel.

    This body mist can be grabbed from many places on the high street, including Boots. Usual price is £5.99 for the full size of 150ml, but the range is regularly on offer at some point in different stores.

  • Summer Perfect So…? Unique Floral Night Body Mist

    I’ve created a monster, literally! My soon to be 12 year old is a bigger fragrance junkie than me which I didn’t think was possible. No longer is she happy using my body mists, eau de toilettes and anything else, she wants her own too! So I recently bought her So…? Unique Floral Night Body Mist from Boots. I picked this up for half price costing me £2.99 instead of £5.99.

    So…? Unique Floral Night Freesia & Plum Body Mist
    Why did I buy this?

    I’ve bought her body mists from this brand before and she loved them! So much so she’s been asking me to replace them with the same or similar scents. When I saw this the price was perfect, the scent name sounded nice and I thought she would enjoy using it.

    Packaging

    So…? Unique Floral Night is housed in quite a chunky spray bottle. Gold lid, transparent bottle but tinted purple. The shape of the bottle is a little different than others on the market. The labelling is basic (pictures of flowers on it) and something you would see on a cheaper priced product in my opinion. But it’s not unappealing and pleasant enough on the eye.

    Fragrance

    This is a mix of florals and fruity flavoured effervescent sweets! That’s the best way I can describe it. The floral element is pretty and feminine. The fruity part is sweet, juicy with a hint of peach and creamy vanilla but has a slight fizziness/energy to it. I love it!

    Strength & Longevity

    When first applied this is a medium. The fragrance immediately hit me and I was grateful for it. It’s such a noticeable scent if you apply it you will smell it. Longevity wise I wish it was a bit better. I put this on in the morning (on clothing not on skin, I never do that) and over 4 hours later I got the smallest hit of this. In fairness, it’s been very hot and I’ve noticed this can change how a fragrance behaves but I wanted more. But like any affordable body mist there was nothing stopping me from reapplying when needed so not a massive issue but could be better.

    Does my daughter like this?

    It lives in her school bag. She puts this on in the morning and goodness knows how many times in the day because I can definitely smell it on her when she comes home. When I first gave her this she got excited saying how nice this smelt and how she loves it. And if I use this I get an evil side eye in my direction so it’s safe to say it’s thumbs up from her!

    Recommended?

    Despite the longevity side of things I really adore this fragrance. In fact, it’s probably one of my favourited body mists EVER! The fragrance is just so gorgeous I could wear this morning, noon and night. This would appeal to anyone who loves fruity scents and some floral lovers would like this too. Lots of different ages would use and enjoy this. For the price I paid you can afford to use this constantly and I would definitely buy this again if on a special promotion.

  • An Autumn Fragrance. So…? Unique’s Sweet Amber Body Mist

    Most people choose their fragrance because it’s what they want to wear in that moment because of their mood, time of day or maybe it’s for an occasion. Some will drag out certain fragrances according to the time of year. Personally, I wear whatever I feel like at the time but there are certain scents that scream a particular season to me. This is true when I purchased and used So…? Unique’s Sweet Amber Caramel & Cedarwood Body Mist. Bought direct from So Fragrance when this was on sale for £2.98 instead of £5.99 late last year/beginning of this year.

    So…? Unique Sweet Amber Caramel & Cedarwood Body Mist
    Why did I buy this?

    I’ve used lots of body mists and perfumes from this brand and they’ve performed well and smelt good. When there was a sale, I wanted to try scents I hadn’t experienced before, and this was one of them. The scent name sounded delicious. Scent description sounded like it was made for me, and the price confirmed it needed to be purchased!

    Packaging

    This is packaged differently to other fragrances I’ve used from this brand before. 150ml comes in a plastic bottle which has a golden orange tint to it. The lid is gold and how this is presented is very Autumnal in its colours.

    Fragrance

    Think vanilla, a hint of brown sugar and a slightly earthy, woody note mixed in. That’s how this smells in a nutshell! I love it! It’s not sickly sweet but has an obvious sweetness to it. The woodiness gives it added depth and makes the scent fuller and richer. Do you understand why this makes me think of Autumn?

    Strength & Longevity

    Strength is light to medium. I could easily handle this being a strong, in your face fragrance but this type of scent in that strength would make your head pop off. For a body mist you do have to be realistic when it comes to longevity. I apply this a few times during the day which I don’t feel is excessive. Partly because I just love how it smells and I want to take it in. And of course, to give me more fragrance. So, both strength and longevity are fair. But I wouldn’t say no to a stronger version of this scent!

    Recommended?

    If you don’t want to spend a small fortune on perfumes and fragrances and you are fond of the humble and cheap body mist, this should be on your radar. Good size, nicely packaged, and the scent is beautiful. So, if you love your warming, vanilla, sugary, woody fragrances you will love this because it smells great! The only thing I would suggest is buy when the price is right. I would never pay £6.00 for a body mist. Keeping an eye on sales or some form of special promotion is a must when picking up this or any other fragrance from this brand.

    This brand of body mists is widely available on the high street and can be found in many places including supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, and stores such as Boots and Superdrug. You may have to dig a little deeper for this fragrance though as I don’t see this particular one on the shelves all the time, but it’s worth the effort to find it.
