It’s been a while since I posted
an On Fragrances post and I thought about doing one now that the holidays are
nearing. I think that when a home is ready to receive friends and relatives
over the course of the holidays, warm scents are usually what makes the
atmosphere rather cozy.
In all honesty I had to check
twice to see if they were really decanters and not body perfumes. But then
again, what’s the difference?
Decanters are equally inspiring
and refreshing fragrances for the home and other corners that need jazzing up
scent-wise. They also make really nice decor and simply light up any room. Throw
in some candles to warm up the place and boom, there’s picture- worthy corners
in the home.
To create an intimate atmosphere
at home for the holiday season, Armand Dupree released three beautiful scents
rightfully called Love Potions and I think they are great for Christmas season.
The Love Potions are as follows:
Love Potion No. 1: Rose Garden-An
oriental floral fragrance that captures the intimacy of lovers
Love Potion No. 2: Blue Mediterranean-
A citrus floral fragrance that captures the warmth of excitement of paradise
Love Potion No. 3: Sahara Night-
A gourmand musky fragrance that reminds you of sultry nights spent with a
special someone
Pros
Here’s what I personally like
about the decanters:
- Affordable (Php 199 each-promo price) Regular Php 230
- Dual purpose-keeps closets and other corners of the house smelling good, also for the body
- Travel-friendly- 30ml decanters can easily fit any bag
- Giftable! –for friends who like scents for different corners of the home
- Long-lasting scent- refresh as frequently as you like
Cons
Here are some observations that
don’t really make it for me:
- Scent is sometimes too overpowering
- Only three scents to choose from
- Exclusively available from Tupperware dealers
Conclusion
One of the love potions spilled on my hand when I was testing it and it stayed on for at least four hours even when I did so many things. It's dual purpose and very portable. I might show you a trick about how to use these to freshen up your closets and also to spruce up your guest rooms just in case you have friends and relatives staying over.
My favorite among the three is Love Potion No. 2 Blue Mediterranean because it smells fresh, crisp and clean. I wasn't that into Love Potion No. 1 Rose Garden because I had high hopes for this, I was expecting a deep rose scent but just had the sweet notes floating- it was too sweet for my liking actually. Love Potion No. 3 has amber written all over its scent even if it doesn't intend to, and it makes for a good warming scent during cold evenings, but I am on the fence on this one. It all boils down to personal preference to be honest.
