Viva La Juicy Eau de Parfum by Juicy Couture

I was lucky enough to attend the Viva La Juicy fragrance event yesterday and boy was I in for a treat (literally).  Juicy Couture is a fashion brand that has focused their target market on the glamorous, stylish, fashion forward girl about town.  This girl is one that knows what she wants and goes out to conquer her goals while maintaining her chic appearance.

 Juicy Couture showcased three of their gorgeous fragrances yesterday, all of which I'm loving.  Viva La Juicy is the most perfect  daytime fragrance.  Viva La Juicy Noir is a little bit more alluring, mysterious and quite sexy.  Noir is my favourite of the fragrances because, as you know by now, I love stronger fragrances that are perfect for wearing out at night.  New to the range is Viva La Juicy Gold Couture which I'm extremely excited to try out as I've never used it before.  

To celebrate all things Juicy Couture we had the most wonderful high tea at The Patisserie in Illovo which is one of my absolute favourite spots for tea and a slice of cake so I was in my element.  We learnt a little bit more about the brand and that there will be a lot more from Juicy Couture coming to South African shores soon so watch this space for more details on that! 

Have a wonderful Friday everyone!

Angel by Thierry Mugler EDP #BewareOfAngels

Angel by Thierry Mugler happens to be one of my absolute favourite fragrances.  While I was in hospital Irina even brought me a miniture of Angel as a Get Well gift because she knew how much I loved it.  Over the years I've found that I'm almost hypnotized by this fragrances and I can smell it on someone else a mile away.  While I adore Alien by Thierry Mugler too, it has a very strong scent so I generally prefer use it at night whereas Angel is a lot lighter and I find that it's a perfect fragrance to use for the daytime.  That being said, just because it is a lighter fragrance does not mean that it wears off.  This scent literally clings to my skin until wash it off.  There aren't very many other fragrances around that last as long as this one does.

Angel is a Oriental Vanilla fragrance for women.  It has notes of bergamot, honey, dewberry, orange, jasmine, rose, patchouli, musk, caramel and dark chocolate.  Now doesn't that sound delicious?  The scent was created with the idea of evoking the tenderness of treasured memories and dreamlike infinity while also diving into the passionate, sensual side of a woman.  Angel falls into the fragrance category "oriental gourmands" and can be described as soft, pure and innocent.

This isn't a new fragrance.  In fact it has been around since 1992.  The reason it has had social media buzz recently though is because Thierry Mugler has announced Georgia May Jagger as the new face of the fragrance.  What some might not know though is that Georgia's mom, Jerry Hall, was the face of the fragrance from 1995-1997.  I guess Angel is in the genes!  

To celebrate the new face of the fragrance all of Johannesburg's fashionable gathered for a gorgeous event at Urban Tree in Sandton which was perfectly designed to showcase the moods of the fragrance.  Arriving to an entrance way off 200 balloons and beautiful soft blue lighting we were exposed to the dreamlike element of the fragrance.  We then moved towards the passionate, sensual side of the fragrance in an area of the venue decorated stunningly in vivid red and black.  The event was seamlessly put together by 4ElementsMedia and it was an absolutely perfect portrayal of the fragrance and its longstanding success.
