Yves Rocher Vanille Noire EDP

If you have been following my blog for the past few months then you will have noticed that the brand Yves Rocher has popped up quite a few times; it was one of my favourite brands of 2014! I have used about six/severn of their fragrances over the years and I loved all of them, this latest addition is no exception. 

I have the lovely *Yves Rocher Vanilla Noire Secrets D'Essences Eau de Parfum (£17 sale, 30ml) which I have been wearing so much recently along with fragrances from Caudalie, Diptyque and The Library Of Fragrance. I love the bottle, it looks very luxe and fancy! The notes are as follows: vanilla bourbon absolute, tahitian vanilla absolute and ugandan vanilla absolute. I have wanted to try a solely vanilla fragrance for a while so this one is perfect for me. 

The scent is gorgeous, it is very, very vanillary which I love! It is more suitable for the evening in my opinion as it is very rich, deep and musky yet it still has warm, creamy sweet vanilla tones. I also love the spray as it is very fine and even so you don't get droplets of perfume on your clothing/skin. The longevity of Yves Rocher is not their strong suit but the longevity of this perfume is approx. five hours. 

Overall, I love the packaging and because of that alone it would make a lovely gift but it is also a lovely warm, rich evening fragrance too. The longevity is reasonable and it sprays evenly. I would definitely recommend Yves Rocher fragrances, especially for the price as they are usually on offer/sale.

Yves Rocher Quelques Notes d'Amour

I have tried quite a few fragrances from Yves Rochers, one I bought a few years ago and one I was sent before summer this year (here). I haven't tried a more autumnal/musky scent from Yves Rocher until now. This fragrance is the latest offering from Yves Rocher and it doesn't disappoint!

The *Yves Rocher Quelques Note d'Amour L'eau de Parfum (£33, 30ml). This fragrance is currently on sale for only £17.50 for a 30ml bottle! Firstly, the bottle is and packaging is simple and elegant, I love the heart imprint on the side of the bottle. The fragrance notes are as follows: Rose, Gaiac wood and Benzoin. 

The fragrance, in my opinion, is a gorgeous musky fragrance although the scent of roses is strong throughout the perfume. The combination of notes is beautiful and perfect for autumn/winter, especially if you don't like very musky or spicy scents. I think it could easily be worn during the day or evening as although it is musky, the rose lifts it and give the fragrance a hint of sultry sweetness which makes the fragrance more feminine. 

The longevity is fairly good at about five hours on me, it may differ on others though. The fragrance lasts a bit longer on clothing though. 

Overall, I love the scent of this perfume, it is a musky floral which sounds very generic but it is actually quite unique, in my opinion. The bottle is pretty and simple; I think it would make a gorgeous christmas gift! I wish the fragrance lasted a little longer on me though. Overall rating: ★★★★★, 5/5.
