So here's the new fragrance from Taylor Swift! Wonderstruck!
There was a mini flashmob-cum-musical thing on Saturday near the traffic light crossing from Orchard Shopping centre to the Cineleisure side. Only catched part of it though. One girl, several guys, didn't even watch enough to get the main plot >< and they were playing that song from the vid above! I think it's called Enchanted? Anyways, got a perfume test strip that told us to go to Sephora to get a sample and since I was headed towards Orchard, I just went to collect my sample.
Flashmob (guess the plot):
Sample looks like this:

The smell:
Supposedly it's a "fruity-floral fragrance containing sweet notes of Apple Blossom, Vanilla, Honeysuckle and Peach". Hmm I don't know hahaha after reading up on KJ5 the new fragrance by KARA (yesh kpop), they have duno like how many notes (various top, middle, base) @.@ that when I read about that I wondered how weird-smelling it would turn out with so many different notes...In comparison, Wonderstruck seems milder tho I have yet to sniff KJ5 hahaha
When I first collected Wonderstruck's sample, I didn't find it much, it sorta whacked my nostrils but I think it's really growing on me haha now it smells pretty sweet, a bit woody and very edible hahaha.
For me, I find scents nicer smelling after they sorta fade away on your skin over a period of time (a span of a few hours). I found my Victoria Secret's Strawberries and Champagne body mist pungent (not necessarily bad, but its too strong for my liking) at first too but after a few hours and it starts to fade, the smell is bearable and actually smells decent enough (but still not my fav). But I guess it's useless when you're the only one who can smell it O.o hahahahaha I think the problem lies with my nose, it's really too sensitive smell-wise. Most women with perfume that I smell in the lifts, in the trains, somehow overdo it or my nose really has a problem, but the smell really is too overpowering, to the point of making others dizzy if the smell doesn't suit their tastes. But there's this scent, Ange ou Demon by Givenchy gyahhh love it! There's also this Apple Blossom Body Mist from The Body Shop, limited edition wor! Totally different smell and feel from Ange ou Demon but niceeeeeee tooooooo. Suddenly remember a module where the prof said that we choose perfumes to enhance our scent haha I wonder...Apple Blossom basically smells uber fresh like after a bath kinda fresh so it kinda keeps me awake too I guess, and it isn't that strong or maybe that's because I like it thus don't find it overpowering. For Ange ou Demon, it's a more mellow smell with a hint of sexiness (this I deciphered from all those comments on youtube and after watching the promo vid for the 1st time). It is sorta luring, as in lures me to sleep easily hahah just the opposite of Apple Blossom. I guess Ange ou Demon makes me calm in a sense then?
