Do you remember your first love? The flush of blush on your cheeks when you see your crush. The sudden quickening of heartbeat when he is around. The urge to impress but subtly. All these are very known and precious feelings for someone who has been in love. Now imagine those feelings captured in a bottle and you get Blush from the house of Marks and Spencer’s. Today, I am going to review this fragrance and share my thoughts and opinions about this one. Packaging Very simple and classic packaging. This eau de toilette is housed in a while cardboard box with an image of a flower at the bottom. The bottle is pretty sleek too. Although I have the 10ml variant with me, I will share the image of a 100ml bottle for you to see how classy it will look on anybody’s vanity. Nothing out of the box to talk about when it comes to the packaging but it is beautiful in its understated beauty. Scent This is where all the magic happens. One sniff and you are in love. At least that is what happened with me when I sniffed it for the first time. The perfume opens with zesty notes of bergamot, cassis, and violet. Although I cannot make out the violet much but the tanginess that is provided by bergamot soon fades away. Then the perfume quickly turns over to a dewy rosy heart that also has the fruitiness of raspberry in it. Finally the perfume settles down to a popular, cozy, and comfortable base of amber, vanilla, and musk. This is one combination of base which I always love so I keep going back to this set of combination time and again. It is such a beautiful inoffensive fragrance that everyone can wear it and will love it. There is no headache inducing element in this fragrance which makes it a mass pleaser but it is unique? No it is considered to be a dupe for Touch of Pink by Lacoste. Haven’t smelled it so cannot verify if this comparison is accurate or not. However, regardless of being a dupe or not this is an incredibly wonderful perfume. Since this belongs to the Autograph range, which means making top designer collection available at high street prices, am ready to believe that this is a dupe for Touch of Pink. Longevity and Silage Although it fails in these categories, I don’t mind to spray more than once on myself. The lasting power for this perfume is not more than 2hours on my skin. It is such a muted mild fragrance that it doesn’t project too much as well. But then again it is like that feeling of sudden quickening of heartbeat when you suddenly sniff it on yourself when you move around. This one catches you off-guard. When you think you can no longer smell it on yourself and you need to reapply, it may just surprise you by making sure it’s present is felt. Definitely not a lot of people can smell it on you. They need to be close to you to smell it like that budding love which is not out in the open and is slowly evolving. Quantity and Price Point There are two sizes of this perfume available in the market. You get a 10ml for which you pay Rs. 599 and for a 100ml bottle, you pay Rs. 1999. This sounds just about fine for me. However, if this seems too much for you, let you share the pricing for Lacoste’s Touch of Pink perfume. 50ml bottle of this perfume costs Rs. 3150 and the full size bottle which is 90ml costs for Rs. 4650. In comparison to this price range, M&S’s Blush seems affordable. Still investing almost Rs. 2000 on a perfume is a huge thing for which I suggest you to try the 10ml variant first. Paying Rs. 600, you can test this perfume and check whether you like it enough or not to invest this amount. After all not everybody wants mild fragrances. Final Thoughts If you are looking for strong perfumes, then this is not for you. However, if soft and mild fragrances with a floral touch to them is what you are looking for then this one is something you must give a try. You will be surprised to see how amazing and delightful this perfume is, which reminds you of the initial days of your love story. |
