Very Irrésistible Givenchy – Electric Rose

Very Irrésistible Givenchy - Electric Rose

An extraordinary encounter between the worlds of rock ‘n’ roll and perfume, a new and unexpected twist to the fragrance Very Irrésistible Givenchy, orchestrated by Parfums Givenchy.

For the first time, Liv Tyler, the fragrance’s muse, reveals her voice and sets her inner energy free in a reinterpretation of the INXS hit Need You Tonight.

An electrifying song about desire and abandon, to which Liv brings a modern, elegant, sensual touch.

To mark this new episode in the Very Irrésistible Givenchy saga, the brand has concocted a fragrance, at once radiant and rebellious, that is true to Liv’s rock ‘n’ roll spirit: Very Irrésistible Givenchy Electric Rose. A new interpretation of the fragrance that tells the story of an unpredictable rose turned utterly magnetic.

Very Irrésistible Givenchy - Electric Rose

A transgressive, luminous rose

Entirely reorchestrated for the Electric Rose aromatic floral eau de toilette, the emblematic rose of Very Irrésistible Givenchy twists aromatically into a blend of strength and softness, in a magnetic encounter of complementary notes.

Joyfully tangy, the blueberry tonality is punctuated by the lively intensity of a natural lemon zest and basil-verbena twist.

A predominant burst of electric anise rose is softened by a touch of tender green violet, downy and carnal. Sulphurous cedar wood enhances a vibrant finale featuring the evanescent brightness of a musky pearl.

Electric, energetic design

To enclose Electric Rose, the now famous Very Irrésistible Givenchy bottle has donned an exquisite gradation of transparency and pure white. In a blend of femininity and “rock attitude,” an ultra-modern decorative motif of silver roses electrifies the radiant glass bottle, ultra-sensual to the touch.

The box, with its immaculate, glossy white background, appears tattooed in deconstructed silver roses with provocative thorns.

The hot pink letters used to sign the name of the fragrance contrast with the monochrome white background, catching the eye like a neon light.

2 formats: 50 ml and 75 ml – A complimentary card to download Liv Tyler’s version of Need You Tonight will be included in every box. Downloadable in MP3 format.

Nivea Soft limited edition – Nicola de Main

Fashion designer Nicola de Main has made 3 different looks for Nivea Soft – Bird Journey, Butterfly Reflections and Flower Dreams.

Nivea Soft limited edition - Nicola de Main

I got the birds design, which suits me well because of my lifestyle, in the last couple of months.

I love Nivea’s products and Nivea Soft is one of my faves. It is extremely hydrating, refreshing, it absorbs rapidly into the skin, has a pleasant scent and leaves a pleasant sensation on the skin. It is very lightweight and extremely effective. The main ingredients are: hydrating jojoba oil and vitamin E, which is great for skin protection.

This is a universal cream, which means you can use it for face, body and hands. I use it in all three cases – especially for body and hands, and sometimes for face (individually or as an upgrade to some serum).

This isn’t a new product on the market and I believe that many of you have already tried it, and I’m sure you liked it. The specificity of this limited edition is the design, which makes Nivea Soft more attractive.

With the cream, I got a nice silk scarf with Nicola’s signature. The scarf is from Flower Dreams collection.

Net weight: 200 ml (6.76 fl. oz.)

Price: approx. $5.27/£3.95

April 2012 Favs

Nuxe Rêve de Miel lip balm

Excellent balm! Nourishes, hydrates, heals. The only con is that it doesn’t last long – 4 g (0.14 fl. oz.) is a small quantity, and it literally melts when in contact with lips. But I love it because it’s extremely effective.

Iris Moreau Precious Rose Serum

Amazing serum which is 100% natural and provides exceptional hydration. Review is coming soon.

Lancôme Génifique serum

I went back to using this serum, actually what is left of it. It evens out the skin and provides freshness and radiance. I have already expressed my satisfaction with it and will review it soon.

Nivea Soft cream

Excellent universal cream which hydrates and protects the skin. I love this cream for years, and lately I use a limited edition one, which you can see on the picture. More about this cream is coming up in the next post.

theBalm Down Boy blush

As you can see, last month was marked with skin care products, but I also loved one decorative product. Down Boy blush has a perfect texture and, in combination with the light pink shade, it’s ideal for these spring days.

What were your fav products last month?
