First impression- pureDKNY verbena

Hello ladies and Gents :)
I have another perfume first impression for you! This one is for pureDKNY Verbena by DKNY. This is the first time I have tried any of DKNY's perfumes, so I didn't high expectations but I also didn't expect this to smell like it did. First thing that came to mind when I took whiff: leaves and flowers. The description of style for this fragrance was: Fresh. Bright. Sophisticated. I don't know about the sophisticated part, but it does smell fresh and bright. Makes me think of wide open meadows on spring day.
The notes for this are: Verbena(Of course), Honeysuckle, Peony, Jasmine Petals, White Amber, Sea Moss and Veiter

 As you can tell by the bottle, it's not too flashy but not too dull either. It's classy and elegant and would go nice on anyone bathroom counter or vanity table. A nice 1.0 oz bottle of this will run you 45$ dollars at sephora and sephora.com. You could also find this any place that sells fragrances, if there any questions that I didn't answer here, leave it a comment below and I will answer it to the best of my ability.
Thanks for reading!

First impression- Daisy by Marc Jacobs

Here's another one for you guys, this one is for Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I've never tried any of Marc Jacobs' products before this, so this will be perfect for all of you are trying new brands. The first things that came to mind when trying this one were: sweet, flowery and fresh. It also gave me the feel like I was smelling a body wash, which was very subtle.



Notes: strawberry, violet leaves, ruby red grapefruit, gardenia, violets petals, jasmine petals, musk, vanilla and white woods

Over all this wasn't a bad scent, but it wasn't something that made me drop everything and purchase it. It's nice, but nothing special. If you would like to try this out for yourself, you can purchase this most places you can buy perfume. The smallest bottle you can purchase, from sephora which was the first thing that popped up when I Googled it, is .67 oz which is 35$, but they also have a Roller ball one for 20$, if you want something more portable. I hope this was helpful!

First impression- Heat by Beyonce

So, I get a billion and one perfume samples and I just either let them sit in my draw collecting dust or give them people in swaps or give them to friends and family. So I have decided to do first impression for you guys. I'm not one to have a lot of different kinds perfume or body sprays, I'm not one to want to smell like many things, if I like something a lot I will sigh with it. With that said, if something catches my "nose"(lol), I would be inclined to make purchase. Okay enough rambling, on to the first impression.


Heat by beyonce
There is a special place in my heart for Beyonce, I loved her in destiny's child, almost every song she had recorded has been a hit. Which is why it's so hard for me to say this, I'm not a fan of this perfume, when I first took a whiff, the first few things that came to mind were: hair dye and soap. I also detected a bit of a spicy scent, which didn't help.

Top notes: magnolia, neroli, red vanilla, peach
Heart notes: almond macaroon, honeysuckle nectar, creme de musk
Base notes: sequoia milkwood, tonka bean, amber
I don't know, maybe I had a bad batch, I really tried to like it, maybe I just need more time to get use to it. Maybe I will try it again in the future. But you want to give it a try for your self, you can purchase it from almost any place that sells perfume, I put a link down below for Macy's, as that was the first thing that popped up when I Googled it, the smallest bottle you can purchase, from Macy's anyways, is 1.7 oz for 50$. But if you do a little more research, you could probably find it cheaper. I hope this was helpful!
