REVIEW: Nutrimetics Fragrance Discovery Collection...

I'm an unashamed lover of pretty things ♥ Whether it be a shape or a pattern or a colour or even a fragrance, I appreciate the attempts of others to bring something into the world that's pleasing to the senses. Of course, what one person finds beautiful may not inspire someone else to the same extent, or maybe even not at all. And while I'm not necessarily drawn to girlie frills and flounces, if it's feminine or soft or curvy, or the hues are harmonious to my soul, it's safe to say you got me. So where am I going with this prattle? Well, while I can honestly say I've never purchased a perfume for the gorgeous bottle alone, I actually bought this Nutrimetics Fragrance Discovery Collection because I fell in love with the box lol!...

When I saw the photo in the monthly Nutrimetics brochure a little while ago, my old ticker literally skipped a beat. It's not the box itself, but the colour and shape of the pattern on it - to me, it looked like a watercolour of a flower painted by a master, so serene, so beautiful. Weird huh? And then when I noticed that the box contained three rollerball fragrances, AND it was reduced by 60%, well the stars were obviously aligned and it was a done deal, so I ordered two ♥...

Turns out this is a limited edition that was released last Christmas, and I guess the price reduction was to clear out the stock as it's no longer available on their website. I'm a bit sad because the scents are as stunning as the box...

Rollerball fragrances are a personal favourite of mine - they're the perfect size for my handbag, so conveniently lightweight, and because there's no spray fallout, I don't even have to go to the ladies room to touch up...

Love & Courage EDT...

A lovely crisp and fresh scent, it's one of those that I call crystalline (like Bvlgari Omnia Crystalline or Versace Bright Crystal), my favourite fragrance family for a long hot Summer. It's an EDT so it doesn't last long, but it's perfect as an instant reviver. My nose picks up apple and lemon, but I'm pretty lame at identifying anything else ♥...


Fleurever EDT...

Fleurever is also a light fresh scent, but it's more floral with a zest of fruit when first applied, and has quite a bit more staying power. There's an almost herbal tang to it as well, but the flowers win after the drydown (I think it's daisy) ♥...

Breathtaking EDT...

Breathtaking is another floral, but this one has an exotic touch. It's more like a floriental, and while I love all of them, it's my favourite of the three. Rose is the standout, but there's some musk in there too, reminds me a little of MOR Marshmallow, but not as sweet or heady ♥...
