When it comes to perfume, everything matters

Hi!!

It has been quite a while since I have blogged, I am currently away from Hong Kong and am now in New York City!!!!! Isn't that exciting?? I know it is! Well at any cost, I came baring gifts. I have recently made a few perfume purchases and there is one that I would really like to mention here and maybe it might inspire you into getting it for yourself. Other purchases will be on another blogpost later on.


Just not long ago, I paid a visit to Sephora because they had a V.I.B. family and friends promotion where you can get 20% off any purchases between a period of time and I said to myself: "When else could it be a better time to get something than this??" and I know I certainly was correct about going to Sephora.

I had my eyes on the Marc by Marc Jacobs new perfume, DOT. It has the cutest bottle design of a ladybug and it was just so ADORABLE like other Marc by Marc Jacobs perfume bottle. Yet when I saw the price of the 3.7 Oz bottle, I decided that I would probably be able to get it in Hong Kong so I looked away with such reluctant until something on the other side caught my eye..... the LADY GAGA Black Fluid perfume.

If you don't know about this, I have a very weird liking towards anything that is interesting and weird and the ONE specific thing that caught my eye about this perfume was that the perfume liquid itself was actually black. I know this probably would sound silly but when I saw the name of this perfume in an advertisement I thought it was just another random name people give it to their products and never have I thought that it would be such a literal reflection of the perfume itself.           The question anyone would ask next is: "How would or does the LADY GAGA perfume smell like?" When I first smelt the perfume, I actually smelt it from a magazine ad, the ones which you can actually peel off and the scent just somehow rushing through. I still remember the first reaction was: LADY GAGA wouldn't smell like that! And the next was : hey I actually quite like the smell. But then when I gave it a whiff at Sephora, I was like: ewww what the hell is this? Did they do a false advertisement just to sell the perfume *shock face*? But knowing me and my love of weird things, I just can't stop myself from getting a bottle of this suspicious black liquid and so I picked up the smallest bottle hoping that would do despite the great fondness I have upon it.

The reason why I said they were doing bad advertisement was that the perfume smells totally different from the nozzle of the bottle than it was sprayed out. It smells like orange medicine or the felt tip pens which claims that they are orange scented; yet when it is sprayed into the air, it has a strong feminine scent to it. In my own words, I think it has strong floral scent to it but it is more like the Chanel No. 5 kind of floral and not Marc by Marc Jacobs Daisy floral.... if you get what I mean. But yeah I loved it  :)


 And then..... I FOUND MY JACKPOT!! A LADY GAGA perfume gift box!




This gift box costed just a bit more but not only did it come with a medium sized Black Fluid, it also came with a roller ball version of the perfume and a temporary tattoo. (I honestly am okay with the set without the tattoo but I think it really does give a LADY GAGA touch to the gift box)


 This is a picture of the actual perfume bottle itself and doesn't it look amazing?? I love gold and I love the classic combination of black and gold together. The coldness of the black being balanced out by the warmness of the gold just really pleases me visually. And the interesting architectural design of the bottle cap gives it a totally GAGA touch, I wasn't expecting any less from a GAGA perfume bottle design.
This is a photo of how it looks when the cap is off, and it has LADY GAGA FAME written in it and this also shows really clearly that the perfume itself is black and not the bottle itself. I AM NOT LYING OKAY!!!  

Talking about this perfume and as a side note:
The brand United Nude, my absolute adored shoe brand, has created the shoes that LADY GAGA wore to promote her perfume. Although these shoes might be considered to not be the most outrageous shoes GAGA has ever worn but I really think that it ties the whole idea of the perfume and the color matches too!!! I just love it so so much! Don't you just love how men are climbing up to her? Especially when they are gold and naked *wink wink*



Well that is it for now and do look forward for later posts which hopefully will be coming VERY VERY soon. With that said, you lot take care and love life!!


With love,
