Anyway, since you were expecting a product review, here it goes...
ONCE UPON A TIME
I was supposed to buy Meow by Katy Perry because I am a such fan of gourmand scents (especially when layered with powdery or citrus scents) At first sniff, it smelled overly like vanilla, as if I just went in a confectionery factory. Not good. The amazing part, however, was that it lasted for seven hours. I even took a bath at that time, and it was an impressive feat.
But when I went to our local SM Watsons store to FINALLY buy my "dream" perfume, it was already sold out (within a week!). So the search for a new perfume began.
Enter Can Can Burlesque by Paris Hilton. When I first sprayed it on, I WAS HOOKED.
Here's why:

| The Perfume |
PACKAGING
It's very pretty. just look at the bottle above, and you'll see what I mean.
A flaw, however, is the cap is not really designed to cover the perfume tightly. I'm telling 'ya, NEVER hold the bottle by the cap.
THE SCENT
I won't give you a complete list and DESCRIPTION of all the notes in this perfume because I know very well that it's boring and you will just skip over that ('cause that what I do, teehee).
So here's a peek:
Top Notes: Clementine, Nectarine, Cassis, Raspberry
Middle Notes: Wild Orchid, Orange Blossom
Base Notes: Musk, White Woods
As you have read, most of the ingredients for this concoction are fruity - floral scents, but my nose deceived me.
I smelled PINK CHAMPAGNE and VANILLA at first sniff. Even like the Meow Perfume on the dry-down.
Yeah, I know they are not in the notes list, so anyone with this fragrance, please help me out here.
With a kiss of raspberry, and clementine, it borders on being sweet, fruity, and gourmand.
Anyhoo, it's a lovely scent for casual days in school or a lunch date with a guy you really like. But don't get me wrong, it doesn't smell overly sweet like those annoying colognes high school teens usually wear. It's luscious and yummy, that I am often tempted to lick my own wrist.
With the spice of musk, this scent develops into a mature and sexy scent that can be well loved by women in their mid-20's. Even by 30's, I'd give a pass. :)
LONGEVITY and SILLAGE
Three to Five Hours; Radiates within arm length (Based on my experience, results may vary depending on your unique body chemistry).
OVERALL RATING
4.5 / 5
WOULD YOU REPURCHASE?
Absolutely! This might even be my signature scent. We'll see. ;)
P.S.: This was originally Php3,300 but there was sale and I bought it by Php1,755. Great deal!
That's it! I hope you enjoyed the review. Please tell me what you think of this amazing perfume. <3
