Khaki Frenzy
After my blue phase, I am currently loving the khakis.
I find that earthy browns enhance khakis really well. Bobbi Brown Day to Night Warm eye palette is perfect – the 3 darker, shimmering shades are stunning / gorgeous / mesmerising, if you use them wet. ( even the beauty assistant is not aware about this ) I suggested her to apply this wet, the rest is history !
Used dry, they’re light & shimmery but too sheer & indifferent, they simply lack in pigmentation & impact. ( I tried this technique with finger swabbing, which is supposed to be heavier in finish )
Cat on A Hot Tin Roof
Of course, you just need a red lipstick to complement this femme fatale style. Bobbi Brown Hollywood red is my glam-up red. Make sure you line & gloss your red lips for that high maintenance, diva finish.
* Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is a play by Tennessee Williams.
Salvatore Ferragamo Attimo
Meaning ‘instant’ in Italian, Attimo is said to express Salvatore Ferragamo’s core values of elegance, glamour, refined seduction and Italian style.
Created by Jean-Pierre Bethouart and Annick Menardo of Firmenich, the EDP has a multi-faceted floral bouquet with a sensual, woody dry-down.
The floral green woody juice offers an addictive blend of soft musks, refined cedarwood and vibrant patchouli. Opening with juicy and crisp Nashi pear accents, the fragrance offers hints of kumquat. The lotus flower unveils a floral heart. Subtle and fragrantly green, the scent of gardenia and frangipani flowers combine to emphasise floral sensuality. Fresh rosy accents of peony underline femininity and character, according to the Italian house.
SF Attimo has a pretty common fruity & juicy top notes, not so complex flowery middle notes & I couldn’t detect much of the woody dry down; There was a very faint musky note though nothing special. I have to admit, even some of my room candles smell more distinctive & better than this fragrance number !
Nice bottle, ordinary scent, poor lasting power & sillage. I am rather disappointed by Salvatore Ferragamo – Attimo is just like the rest of the 1001 fruity-flowery fragrances launched in the past 6 months; Just another insignificant blend that will need to rely heavily on successful marketing strategies for its existence.
