Review: Honey by Marc Jacobs Eau De Parfum (EDP)

By skinformulae | Published Saturday, May 10, 2014

I know this has nothing to do with skin care, however I am still going to review it simply because… I like perfume! I hope that some reader find the information useful.

I never stick to one type perfume. Right after I used up a perfume, I'll get a different one. Today I will be reviewing Honey by Marc Jacobs EDP which I bought at Lotte Duty Free in Incheon Airport (Korea) before boarding the plane. The 100ml bottle cost me about $104 sgd and it comes with a miniature 4ml EDP bottle. I did not know if it is any lower than if I were to buy in Singapore. I just got the hunch that it is cheaper at Lotte. I found out that it cost about $140 in Singapore and I don't think it comes with the complimentary travel size bottle. Boy, I was glad I bought it (finding out that I saved some $$ also helped to reduce my guilt..haha).

Review: Chanel Chance Anyone?

By skinformulae | Published Sunday, July 29, 2012

On July 3rd, my twins and I made a short trip to Langkawi. Guess what? It is known as galore of duty free shops that sell cheap chocolates, liquor and lastly....

PERFUME!!

Perfume is simply love! I started using perfume when I was 13 years old after my eldest sister introduced it to me. It really made me feel good inside out. During that time I was using Elizabeth Arden Green Tea then followed by Burberry Weekends, Gucci Flora, Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto and etc. Currently, I am using DKNY pure.

So, when were in Langkawi I bought 2 perfume and one of is Chanel chance eau de toilette 100ml! The usual price in Singapore is about $140 and this time we bought it for a cheaper price.

Did some editing.. hehehe

There a metal strip around the sides of the bottle.

Pros about the perfume is it's sweet smell that last throughout the day! The smell of the perfume is floral with a hint of grapefruit. Of course, it may not be true for all of us as it depends on the chemistry between your body smell and also the perfume. As such, it may not last long on some people and smell maybe slightly different for some. The cons of this perfume is that some may that the smell is not to their liking or it is too strong for them.

I hope you guys find this informative. /blush
