Tommy Girl 10 by Tommy Hilfiger {Perfume Review & Musings}

Continuing our presentation of a series of fresh scents that might appeal to people who like simplicity, we now turn to Tommy Girl 10. Tommy Hilfiger launched this perfume together with Tommy 10 (for men) last summer to celebrate the 10th anniversary of their perfume business.

The description of the notes is alluring and as it turns out the fragrance itself does not disappoint. It possesses a very American quality in our eye of being fresh and clean at the same time with light florals that avoid being completely pedestrian by showcasing a water lily note that smells a bit different and even singular. It resembles the lily in Crown Perfumery Alpine Lily, a scent that it is discontinued and which makes one appreciate even more its presence in Tommy Girl 10. It is also reminiscent of another hard-to-find fragrance, Message from Orchids by Shiseido......

Reflection Woman & Reflection Man by Amouage {New Perfumes}

The luxurious Omani perfume house Amouage founded in 1983 by the Royal Family of Oman will launch a new duo of perfumes in mid-April called Reflection Woman and Reflection Man. Like for other perfumes from the Middle East, the spiritual and moral elements appear central to the conceptions of the fragrances. One could say that the inner self is payed more attention to as opposed to the outer self, the image we want to project of ourselves. Here, it is no exception. As Amouage says "The two fragrances celebrate the power of the individual and were created to inspire quiet introspection and a sense of one's true self and one's own inner inspiration."

Reflection Woman Eau de Parfum was created by celebrated perfumer Maurice Roucel. It is described as a "A light, spring-like fragrance, with notes inspired by a secret garden. Water violet, purple freesia, and tropical green leaves in the top notes, sit above cool white flowers such as magnolia and jasmine in the heart. Warmth is injected in the base notes with the use of amber, cedarwood and sandalwood.".....
