Lady Gaga Fame - Inspired Living SA

One of the things I love about receiving beauty boxes each month are the fragrance samples I receive! I have been introduced to some wonderful new fragrances!

Paco Rabanne Lady Million – Lady Million has been by far my favourite so far. This fragrance is described as being “sparkling yet sensual”! I love bold fragrances and Lady Million certainly packs a punch, it has distinctly fruity undertones, with one of favourites, neroli oil taking the lead. The wonderful fragrance is further enhanced by the wonderful scent of jasmine, gardenia and the spicy warmth of amber. Can you tell I LOVE it!

Calvin Klein Forbidden Euphoria – A gorgeous sexy floral fragrance, it reminds me of summer flowers! It is one of those happy fragrances, almost whimsical, it is a perfect pick-me-up fragrance if you are having a bad day. It is modern, fresh and mysteriously sexy. Its sparkling top notes seduce the senses with a blend of forbidden fruit such as mandarin, passion fruit, and iced raspberry. Finishing with a hypnotic bouquet of tiger orchid and jasmine.

CH L’eau by Carolina Herrera – This fragrance is said to be flowery on the nose but it is not overly floral. I find it rather fresh with quite a spicy finish, more of a romantic evening out fragrance – so pretty! {Mr loves it too – I may have to hint for it to appear in my Christmas stocking!} It is a fresh delicate fragrance with notes of lemon blossom, bergamot, orange, freesia, rose, violet, lily of the valley, jasmine, heliotrope, sandalwood and cinnamon.

Fame by Lady Gaga – is a Divaesque as the Diva herself, the black fluid turns transparent once it is airborne – freaky right! We would expect nothing less than off-the-wall, from the pop star! I had to do a review on it last month for the Beauty Bulletin and I must admit I was sceptical at first, as to whether I would like it but I love it! It has become my go-to evening fragrance. When sprayed on the skin you can actually see the fluid change from a black to translucent which, truth be told, is rather amazing! The scent is warm and very sensual, pretty much my favourite type of fragrance. It is very sultry and the epitome of sophistication, perfect for wearing out in the evening to compliment your sexy little LBD.

To me perfume is as much about the scent, as it is about the beautiful bottle it comes in!

I recently received a sample of the new Lady Gaga fragrance, Fame, from the Beauty Bulletin, to review. This exciting new fragrance is the first of its kind in fluid technology; the black fluid turns transparent once it is airborne – freaky right! We would expect nothing less than off-the-wall, from the pop Diva!

The technology behind this magic show is called “push-pull technology”, where the ingredients interact together to highlight different olfactory aspects of each note at the same time, resulting in complete harmony. The scent has three main properties being: dark, sensual and light.

The dark component comes from the mysterious Belladonna, the deadly nightshade, which evolves into a sensual combination of dripping honey, saffron and apricot nectar. To round off the scent crushed Tiger Orchid and Jasmine Sambac bring in a lighter more floral note.

When sprayed on the skin you can actually see the fluid change from a black to translucent which, truth be told, is rather amazing! The actual scent is warm and very sensual, pretty much my favourite type of fragrance. It is very sultry and the epitome of sophistication, perfect for wearing out in the evening to compliment your sexy little LBD.

For me the scent is as important as the bottle it comes in and this is one really sexy bottle, I received the tester bottle to review and would love to see the full size bottle in “the flesh”! Fame is definitely going to be appearing on my Christmas or Birthday list!

Thank you to the Beauty Bulletin for the opportunity of trying this amazing new fragrance!
