As an occasional blogger, author, and community contributor, I often get the opportunity to dip a toe or two back into the world of fashion and designer fragrance. In a previous post, I introduced you to the world of all things Zaharoff and had to revisit to give a review of George's latest that is about to rock the world once again.
This starts off with a yummy drift of rose and vanilla, then melds into a delightful waft of red poppy, that gives it a little spice, you'll pick up hints of incense and oud. What's really unusual about this fragrance is that you don't notice the jasmine and there isn't a heaviness about the scent, it just lingers mysteriously on the bottom note.
The original scent was used as a base, but the lavender was replaced with rose. Make no mistake, this is not a flowery scent, but it is a celebration and tickles the nose as you pick up hints of a carefully crafted smokey rose. I received so many compliments and the wearability is wonderful. I have odd body chemistry and prefer something with a musky, amber base, this lasted for a full eight hours without touchup and a bit lingered into the next day, like a trail of incense left from a burning stick, or the memory of a night well spent.
I'm enchanted with it, and will definitely be purchasing a bottle to cast my own spell. This is a keeper. There's a waiting list, but keep your eyes peeled. Perfect for men or women, there's enough spice to make it appealing for both of you. Tres sexy!! Special thank you to George Zaharoff who sent me a generous sample, he is a total sweetheart of a person. I love wearing something created by someone I know, and I'm honored to be part of the Zaharoff fragrance reviewer family. This is going to be a huge seller.

Reviewing two fragrances over on Influenster today. These samples were sent to me and I just decided to do a quick scent of the day rundown. I really liked both of these, but if I had to choose one, the most long-lasting was the Tom Ford Black Orchid.
If you're a beauty and fragrance enthusiast like me, I would highly recommend joining Influenster. It is a community of gals and guys who are passionate about all things in the industry.
YSL Libre Perfume has quickly become one of my scents of the day. At first, I wasn't sure if it would be as long-lasting as I had hoped for. I have unusual chemistry and some scents just don't last, or the top notes just turn me off. This one warms on the skin nicely, and it isn't just fluff. This comes off a bit citrusy at first, thanks to top notes of Mandarin, Lavender, and Black Currant then drifts into a deeper dreamy note of Orange Blossom and Jasmine and a sweeter version of Lavender, then leaves behind a memory with Vanilla. Musk and Cedar. It is a fragrance that makes a very flirtatious statement. This is pricey, and like most of the newer scents out there, I'd be lucky to afford the body lotion, just being honest here, but it is well worth investing in. Overall, beautiful scent.
Tom Ford Black Orchid. Oh, this one is nice! Once again, I've fallen for a scent at first spray. This one is definitely on my "make sure to buy" list. I love OUD fragrances and this one is dark and seductive. perfect for a very special evening.
The reviews of this perfume have been done to death, but let me just add that this one will help you slay, and in a very good way. I was pleasantly surprised when I spritzed on just a bit and it lingered till the next day. Yes, it is that rich. The Mexican chocolate, Patchouli, Vanilla, Incense, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver play nicely together as a bottom note. This is really like a dark blooming flower, that unfolds a rich beguiling scent. Magical!

It's been a bit since I've done a review here. Life has taken me in quite a few different directions and I've been away for a while from the beauty community. This particular review and the person that I'm writing about is more than enough to take this gal out of blogging retirement and set things on fire again.
I first met designer and fragrance creator George Zaharoff many years ago through a very close friend in journalism, had it not been that I was in the fashion industry and that he designed a coat for her, I would have never known his name, thanks to the Twitterverse at the time, we forged a friendship and met face to face at a design launch, and years later, here we are.
