Marc Jacobs Pear Splash 2016

A girlfriend gifted me this and I was absolutely ecstatic, as I had wanted it for ages. She said she didn't wear it that often and for that I was glad. Yes it is weak and doesn't last for ages but I love the smell and use it for layering; as I find it so alluring with the boozy pear note. Its in a 100ml bottle, so you can spray it as many times as your heart desires and I've no doubt that I'll use it all year round as many times a day as I want!

This fragrance pisses me off. Don’t get me wrong - it is a beautiful fresh, slightly herbal pear, actually more feminine than masculine to me. But... it is incredibly weak, possibly the weakest scent that I own. I have to bathe in it in order to feel something, no wonder it has “splash” in its name. For me it has a strength of a body spray, however for the 20-something euros that I paid for the bottle (love the bottle design) it’s not bad.

Used to wear this obsessively in my late teenage years at the precise start of autumn. It had a note that reminded me of early childhood memory and I felt very Marc Jacobs doll ballet slipper h&m tshirt chic in it until my friend asked why I was always smelling of autan insect repellent spray and that was it for me

Garnier Fructis shampoo with a touch of teenage boy's sport cologne. An amalgamation of generic teenage girl and teenage boy scents. Smells pleasant but painfully juvenile and low-market. Unless you got it for dirt cheap it is really not worth your time or money

I don't feel as though this is feminine enough for me to wear but I do love it. I layered it with a fruity floral and they go well together. I would recommend it for men though but it has all of my personal favorite scents.
