Do you purchase designer fragrances regularly? I can’t remember the last time I bought a branded/fashion eau de toilette or eau de parfum. It’s a considered purchase for me. Despite the fact I love to smell nice, I purchase fragrances that are affordable. Lower cost means I can buy a wide range of fragrances at a fraction of the price of just one designer branded one. This gives me a variety of scents potentially at my disposal. Body mists are a great way of getting a fragrance hit without breaking the bank. I recently added to my collection Zoella’s Gelat’eau Body Mist from Home Bargains at £1.49 for 45ml.
Why did I buy this?
It was a few days before my family holiday and I thought it would be nice to take a new fragrance with me. The packaging caught my eye first, then the price. I didn’t get a chance to smell this but I guessed this would be quite a youthful and uplifting scent.
Who is Zoella?
Zoella is a social media personality. She has a beauty range on the high street which is very popular, so already has solid background in this field.
How doe this look?
Simple and sweet in look, but looks more expensive than what it costs. White bottle, copper coloured lid, peach, grey and copper/gold coloured writing. This screams to me something aimed at a younger market. Even though this is a body mist, it’s presented more like a perfume which I like.
Fragrance
Its an effervescent, fruity and sweet fragrance. This is similar to things that are scented with one of my all time favourite smells, which is rhubarb ( but not quite! ). Not sickly or overpowering, and somehow remains quite fresh and quite clean.
Strength & Longevity
Strength wise this is light to medium. This is my go to fragrance to wear for work and this does have to work quite hard as my job is quite physical. If I spray this on in the morning I can still smell it in the afternoon. Although it’s not as strong as when it’s first applied, it’s still there. So this lasted very well.
Recommended?
Definitely! If you love your fragrances to be fruit or sweetie based, this one is for you. It’s youthful, energising and perfect to wear during the Summer months and for day time use. If you are lucky to see this for the price I paid in a discount store, its worthwhile buying a few of these as its not a regular stock item on the high street.
This is what I call affordable luxury!
