“PERFUME IS THE KEY TO OUR MEMORIES”

BENETTON TRIBU

1. I USED TO USE THIS PERFUME BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL AND I LOVED IT SO MUCH. IT IS VERY SWEET AND A LONG LASTING, DEFINITELY FALL/WINTER PERFUME. BUT EVERY TIME I WORE THIS MY SISTER HATED IT SO MUCH BECAUSE THE SCENT REMINDED OF HER CLASSMATE WHO SHE HATED SO MUCH LOL!

POLO RALPH LAUREN BLUE

2. THIS PERFUME SMELLS AWFULLY GOOD. IF YOU EVER REMEMBER AXE MEN'S SHAMPOO COMMERCIAL ON TV, THIS IS THAT KIND OF PERFUME (AS WELL AS CHANEL ALLURE HOMME SPORT!) BUT I DON'T WANT TO SMELL IT ANYMORE BECAUSE IT WAS MY EX-BOYFRIEND'S SIGNATURE SCENT AND EVERY TIME I SMELL THIS PERFUME IT REMINDS ME OF HIM (AND HOW HE CHEATED ON ME).

CHLOE EAU DE PARFUM

 3. I'VE BEEN HAVING THIS PERFUME OVER A YEAR BUT I HARDLY EVER USED IT BECAUSE MY COWORKER USED TO USE THIS PERFUME AS HER SIGNATURE SCENT. I MEAN I LIKED MY COWORKER AND THE PERFUME TOO BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO WEAR THE SAME SCENT THAT MY COWORKER ALWAYS WEARS. HOWEVER, NOW I DON'T WORK WITH HER ANYMORE SO I SHOULD REVISIT IT AND START WEARING IT BUT IT WILL DEFINITELY REMIND ME OF HER AND HOW OUR EX-BOSS SUCKED! 

LOVE SPELL BY VICTORIA SECRET

4. I DO NOT SEE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BODY SPRAY AND EAU DE PARFUME VERSION OF THIS. OKAY MAYBE EAU DE PARFUME VERSION LASTS 5MINUTES LONGER THAN BODY SPRAY... I WOULD RATHER GET BODY LOTION AND BODY SPRAY BECAUSE THE COMBINATION OF THESE TWO HAVE A BETTER LASTING POWER AND CHEAPER THAN THE EAU DE PARUFME BOTTLE.

ANYWAYS WHEN I SMELL THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME (I WAS GIVEN A GIFT SET OF LOVE SPELL THAT INCLUDES BODY WASH, BODY LOTION, AND BODY SPRAY), I THOUGHT THIS WAS TOO SICKLY SWEET SO I PUT THEM ON THE SIDE AND NEVER USED UNTIL I START TO GO OUT WITH MY HUSBAND. I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO WEARING THEM BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE ANY OTHER FRAGRANCE TO WEAR. WELL I HAD A BOTTLE OF ANNA SUI CLASSIC PERFUME BUT THIS PERFUME IS NOT FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS AS IT IS DARK AND POWDERY. ALSO I DIDN'T WANT TO SPEND ON ANOTHER BOTTLE OF PERFUME AS I WAS A STUDENT AND ALL MY HARD WORKING MONEY WAS GOING TO MY TUITION, RENT, AND EVERYDAY EXPENSES.

WELL GUESS WHAT! NOW LOVE SPELL TO ME  IS SUCH A HAPPY, FUN, AND LOVELY SCENT THAT REMINDS ME OF OUR GOOD TIMES. OH~~~~~ MEMORIES......
I WILL ALWAYS HAVE A BOTTLE OF THIS IN MY PERFUME COLLECTION AS LONG AS IT EXISTS.

JUST A LITTLE FYI SELENA GOMEZ PERFUME IS VERY SIMILAR TO THIS SO GET ONE OR THE OTHER LOL!

5. THIS IS MY HUSBAND'S LOVE OF HIS LIFE KIND OF PERFUME. IF THEY DISCONTINUE THIS PERFUME, WHO KNOWS? MAYBE HE WILL FALL INTO A DEEP DEEP DEEEPPPPPPPP DEPRESSION LOL! HE GETS A LOT OF COMPLEMENTS WHEN WEARING THIS MOSTLY BY GIRLS BUT SOME TIMES BY GUYS AS WELL.

I LOVE MONT BLANC LEGEND BY MONT BLANC, BLACK BVLGARI BY BVLGARI, AND ALLURE HOMME BY CHANEL ON HIM BUT NOTHING CAN BE COMPARED TO LE MALE. THIS PERFUME IS MORE FOR LATE SPRING TO WINTER TO NIGHT OUT SCENT AS IT IS VERY POWDERY AND A BIT HEAVY BUT OF COURSE MY HUSBAND DOES NOT CARE. HE WEARS IT ALL YEAR AROUND, ALMOST EVERY DAY, MORNING AND NIGHT.

TO ME, BRYAN (MY HUSBAND) =LE MALE (THEY ARE ONE BODY).

BE AWARE OF FENDI HANDBAG PURCHASES! (100% MY OWN HONEST OPINION FROM MY EXPERIENCE!)

S.A.s AT WAIKIKI FENDI STORE WERE FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL BUT MY REVIEW IS ALL ABOUT THE QUALITY OF THE BAG ITSELF. MY HUSBAND BOUGHT ME FENDI ZUCCA CHEF LARGE TOTE BAG BACK IN 2011 LIKE RIGHT AFTER THIS MODEL CAME OUT (S.A. TOLD US AT THAT TIME THAT THEY JUST GOT THIS BAG YESTERDAY) AS OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY PLUS CHRISTMAS GIFT. HE PAID BETWEEN  $1100 TO $1200.

FENDI ZUCCA CHEF LARGE TOTE

I NEVER USED IT FOR GOOD FIRST FIVE TO SIX MONTHS BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT IT TO GET DIRTY AND OLD LOL! THEN I STARTED USING IT, NOT EVERYDAY THOUGH MAYBE TWO TO FIVE TIMES A MONTH SINCE IT IS A OVER SIZED, HEAVY BAG. I TOOK REALLY GOOD CARE OF THIS BAG WHENEVER I WASN'T USING IT AS WELL. I STUFFED WITH SOME TISSUE PAPERS, PUT IT INSIDE THE DUST BAG, THEN LEFT IT INSIDE MY CLOSET.

BEGINNING OF THIS YEAR, I NOTICED THE SIDE OF THE BOTH HAND STRAPS STARING TO PEEL OFF HERE AND THERE. YOU CANNOT SAY IT IS WEAR AND TEAR BECAUSE I DID NOT EVEN USED THIS BAG THAT MUCH.

REALLY? SERIOUSLY? OKAY, I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH MY COACH BAG THAT I PAID LESS THAN $200 BUT NONE OF THE OTHER DESIGNERS HAND BAGS I HAVE. DEAR FENDI, ARE YOU GUYS COMPETING WITH COACH? I THOUGHT YOU GUYS WERE BETTER THAN THEM BUT I GUESS NOT! SHAME ON YOU...

I HAVE 20YEARS OLD BURBERRY HAND BAG THAT MY EX-BOYFRIEND'S MOM GAVE ME AND MAYBE THE FABRIC IS OLD DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR BUT THE SHOULDER STRAP IS NICE AND STRONG. I ALSO HAVE CELINE BAG THAT I BOUGHT WHEN I WAS IN NEW ZEALAND BACK IN 2001. I BELIEVE I PAID BETWEEN NZ$300~$400 (IT WAS ON SALE). IT HAS SOME STAINS HERE AND THERE DUE TO IT'S LIGHT COLOR AND SIGNS OF WEAR BUT IT NEVER PEELED OFF LIKE FENDI BAG WHICH IS RELATIVELY NEW.
WHAT A PIECE OF JUNK!

CAN YOU SEE? IT PEELED OFF ALL THE WAY AROUND.

DO YOU SEE THE PIECE OF FABRIC HANGING ON THE RIGHT SIDE? YEAH THAT'S HOW IT PEELS OFF.

I WENT BACK TO THE STORE AND ASKED IF THEY CAN REPLACE THE HAND STRAPS. THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN BUT IT WILL TAKE UP TO 2MONTHS AT OUR COST (SHIPPING AND REPLACEMENT) SINCE IT IS MORE THAN ONE YEAR OLD.

I HAVE LOUIS VUITTON BAG THAT I BOUGHT BACK IN 2010 AND ONE OF THE SCREW THAT HOLDS THE HAND STRAP GOT LOOSE AND FELL OFF. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SHOP IN ALA MOANA AND THEY WERE GLADLY CHANGED ALL EIGHT SCREWS ON MY BAG FOR FREE OF CHARGE IN THREE WEEKS. I EVEN ASKED S.A. WHAT IF IT HAPPENS TO ME AGIAN? SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL REPAIR IT AGAIN. YEAH THIS IS THE KIND OF SERVICE WE ARE LOOKING FOR WHEN WE PAY FOR THE DESIGNERS HAND BAGS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT ONLY PAYING FOR THE BAG BUT ALSO PAYING FOR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE.

AS YOU CAN SEE THERE ARE FOUR SMALL GOLDEN COLOR ROUND SHAPE SCREWS THAT ARE HOLDING DOWN THE HAND STRAP AS WELL AS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BAG.

OKAY LET'S SAY I WILL PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF HAND STRAPS AND SHIPPING BUT THEN WHAT? MAYBE WITHIN A YEAR OR SO I WILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? FORGET IT! I WON'T PAY ANOTHER PENNY AT FENDI STORE EVER AGAIN.

I MEAN I WILL STILL USE THIS BAG AS MUCH AS I CAN JUST BECAUSE IT WAS A GIFT FROM MY HUSBAND AND PURCHASED WITH HIS HARD WORKING MONEY. IT IS NOT LIKE OUR PARENTS ARE RICH SO THAT WE CAN GO OUT AND SPLURGE OR ANYTHING. WE DO LIVE TOGETHER WITH MY HUSBANDS' PARENTS BUT WE PAY A FAIR AMOUNT OF RENT TO THEM. ANYWAYS... NEVER AGAIN FENDI NEVER!
