Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum

Superstar singer, Katy Perry, knows how to make a fun, but dramatic impression whether on stage or with her fragrance line done in conjunction with Coty Beauty.  For her third perfume’s release in 2014, she made sure to take no prisoners with this unique, creamy fruity-floral perfume created by perfumer, Pierre Negrin, with her Royal Revolution Eau de Parfum.

With top notes of pink freesia and red pomegranates, the opening is sweet and juicy.  This combo seems to sugarcoat the floral note with its red fruity essence instead of contributing an element of freshness as you might expect.

By the time this fragrance warms in the heart, the notes of sandalwood, orange flower and jasmine petals take ranking precedence for an alluring hold on the senses that is unexplainable in how it effortlessly captivates.  

However, the real magic to this fragrance happens in the base.  The note of blackthorn in particular seems to cast a spell of crushing resistance like an initial weapon to break hearts before the rest of the notes of vanilla orchid, leather, and skin musk emerge,  arriving to finish what it has won with its dominating power. Making sure to take no prisoners, Royal Revolution is creamy, sweet seduction that you wish would never stop with an unexpected powdery twist within its depths.

I enjoyed this fragrance very much.  My only wish is to make its lovely blue diamond bottle to stand instead of needing to lie flat so it could take less space on my crowded vanity.

Have you tried Katy Perry’s Royal Revolution perfume yet?  If not, you owe it to yourself to check this fragrance out.

Stetson Caliber Cologne Spray for Men Review

Stetson Caliber Cologne Spray for Men

Stetson Caliber Cologne recently hit store shelves in time for holiday shopping.  Unlike the original Stetson, this one is fresher and aimed at pleasing a younger crowd (men in their 30s and 40s) with its adaptation of a fragrance for the chivalrous and daring,  modern cowboy.

The clean opening notes demonstrate eager energy with key lime, mandarin, lavender, and artemesia.  Black pepper adds an element of daring as well.

The heart shows character from notes of cyclamen and basil while nutmeg and violet leaf lend a genuine warmth.

As this cologne dries down, you can sense the strength from the notes of red sequoia and oakmoss in the base.  Due to the sandalwood and ambergris, there is also an earthy, manly appeal to keep it interesting and sexy.

Stetson Caliber Cologne (1-oz.) retails for $27 at drugstores.  Do check it out for your own cowboy!
