Stella by Stella McCartney | Ofaneverydaygirl


Well, what can I say about this? I have significant stories in the process of buying perfume. Is that weird? My mother  is obsessed with perfume, so we always end up buying them as presents. This specific perfume was hot as fire on the blogger radar, so I was dying to have a sniff of it. I remember the specific store in Manchester where I smelt it a year ago. It was divine. I could not stop sniffing myself and longed out the process of washing the top it was sprayed on.

However, some time later I finally acquired it and it was kind of disappointing. The scent was heavily rose-y,  and I despise rose. Though, I have been using it again recently and having little sniffs here and there, and I am coming to like it more and more.

Ok, less about me, and more about the perfume. So, the scent has a blend of rose and amber, making it quite deep and sensual. Maybe that is the reason why I do not like it as much. Overall, the heart notes include peony, rose, mandarin orange and woody notes, which produces an overall floral scent.

The scent being floral, is not the ordinary floral in my opinion. It is a very sensual concoction of florals, which is more feminine as opposed to something more 'younger'. However, to some extent there is a modern aura to it as, as much as it is quite intense,  it is a 'fresh' scent that is perfect for everyday.

As much as it can be worn yearly, I think it is better suited as a winter scent, just because the deep sensual scent will be more sharp in the cold. However, the warm weather will attack the deep scent in the heat and make it quite sickly. My opinion of course, but I shall test my theory as the weather has blossomed in London.

If you would like to have a sniff check it out in-store. Pick yours up online here. Both 30ml and 60ml are available, which are £39.50 and £68.50 respectively.
