This unisex fragrance is incomparable! Nicely balanced with a very peaceful accords of floral and citrus. Balance is the key to this fragrance as it blends perfectly and keeps you guessing for a great amount of time, not overpowering nor nonexistent.

Bal d’Afrique

Top: Bergamot, lemon, neroli, African marigold, bucchu
Heart: Violet, Jasmine petals, cyclamen
Base: Black amber, musk, vetiver, Moroccan cedarwood

I found this fragrance a few years ago while visiting my friend in Dubai. For all the years of friendship we have same taste in scent but one of us always finds something unique. This time she had the one I like and again I felt like this fragrance is so me.

Do Son Eau de Parfum

Top: Tuberose, jasminum sambac
Heart: Iris, pink peppercorn, orange blossom
Base: Turkish rose, musk floral (but not sweet)

I love this scent because it is so feminine and timeless but not old fashioned. I feel classy and unique wearing this long lasting fragrance. With this purchase I got a sample of another wonderful, fresh spring scent – Diptyque Ofresia Eau de Toilette. This fruity fragrance has a blend of ofresia blends white freesia with black pepper, and aromatic notes.

Eau de Toilette or Eau de Parfum? The difference lies in the volume of perfume oil. While Eau de Toilette contains 5-9%, Eau de Parfum contains usually 8-14%. Eau de Parfums therefore last longer and smell more intense.

Philosykos Eau de Parfum

Top: Fig tree leaf, green fruit
Heart: Fig tree wood, milky sap
Base: White cedar, musk

Another great fragrance from Diptyque. Philosykos means “friend of the fig tree” in Greek. This scent is very distinctively nurtured with green fruit, wood, and thick leaves but not too sweet or overpowering. This Magical fragrance reminds me of my summer vacation in Toscana: ripe figs, green leaves, cedar, and a hint of caramelized sugar. Neither overly green nor sweet.

I usually keep no more than 2-3 scents at a time in a smaller size bottles since fragrance has expiration date. After that the scent may change.

Say YES to Minimalism

In the past, I used to work at the fine jewelry department and one day at Christmas Holiday sale I came across these earrings, clean and simple. I liked them because at first, they seemed nice, without any stones, as I wanted. Something new I thought and they would look great with my black cocktail dress. However, I didn’t try them on and it was a mistake.

Always try on earrings before you buy because it might completely dominate your face depending on the shape and size of your head.

These earrings looked so big on me when I wore them at Christmas party that now I’m thinking to re-purpose them into rings as I pictured below.

Say YES to Minimalism these days. It’s stylish and trendy.

Cubic Zirconia is a fabulouse alternative to diamonds, just don’t go after big sizes. The more moderate they are, the more realistic they will appear.

Here I found some new interesting earrings for this Christmas.

DARK BLUE MIX

I choose my bags by instinct. I held many gorgeous and famous brand bags in my hands but this one I’ve picked by color. I was inspired by beautiful colors of this design from Instagram.

And this is my final look.
