pureDKNY: A Drop of Vanilla
Tuesday, September 4, 2012 at 10:14AM There are days, like today, when I am at a complete loss about what to write here. I have maybe 20 products ready to be reviewed but I just can't think of anything to say about them. All I really want to do today is glue my ass on the sofa and play Final Fantasy 8 until I fall asleep and wake up tomorrow, all bright and shiny and refreshed. But that's not going to happen, eh?
What is going to happen is a day full of calls and more writing and maybe a P6,500 hair cut (if I still have enough daylight). And, of course, a review on a fab fragrance called the pureDKNY!
Look good. Feel good. Do good. This pure new scent adds a drop of vanilla to a world that needs a moment of calm. More than a fragrance, it embraces a way of being that takes time out for the simple things, the things closest to the heart: love, joy, comfort, relationships, and community. The fragrance's top notes soar of the pure scent of vanilla. Accords of dewdrop petal, lotus flower, and Bulgarian rose harmonize with a floral heart of jasmine, freesia and lush orchid. It finishes in a cradle of warmth: white amber, creamy sandalwood.
I would call pureDKNY Vanilla a relaxing, wholesome scent. It's quite well-rounded with a whiff of vanilla on top, a bouquet of heady flowers in the middle, and a bit of woody musk at the base. If you're feminine but not frivolous, opulent but tasteful, then I think you'll love this scent! I think it would be more suitable for evenings but I suppose it can also be considered as a day scent if used sparingly.
I'm sure you're wondering: Vanilla or Verbena? Well, go for Verbena if you like green scents. If you're more into heady, sweet fragrances, then Vanilla is for you. ;) I like Verbena more though, only because I love the smell of dewy leaves in the morning.
Pure DKNY is available in Rustans Department Stores for P 4,900/100ml and Php 3,500/50ml.

It's so cool that you're a gamer girl ;) hehe If you do push through with that Php6,500 haircut, hope you write about it :D
Anyway. Great product shots! I was delighted to see the perfume wedged in the branches of a tree(?) hahahaha I think I'm more of a Verbena girl, if it's kind of like Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea. I love that scent :) I can be a fan of some vanilla scents, but sometimes the sweetness overwhelms me.
Totally agree with you Liz on Final Fantasy VIII, they don't make games like that nowadays. I agree with Denise, how creative of you to wedge the bottle in those tree branches :)
Sayang, I'm not into flowery or sweet scents. My HG is CK's Euphoria Blossom, been using it for 4 years now.
Yes this scent is also for those intimate people who are taste-dominant because of the yummy intimate tones satisfying them with a thing once they taste it. While I might say the Verbena is for touch-dominant people who are soft, warm and comforting at heart like you who find satisfaction from talking closely to people and simple things life offers through nature. :)
i love thos product shots too, so cute, hihi... this looks interesting
I heard DKNY really sells "MEGAMAZING" perfumes! I would definitely try some when I can afford those! (need to finish studies first haha!) ANd I still need to consume my latest perfume. I suggest you try CK Beauty, Ms. Liz! :) definitelt worth every penny! <3
Heck yeah, Final Fantasy VIII is the bomb!
Love what you did with the product shot! It's nice to see something unexpected once in a while. :)
I've never been a perfume person, but maybe that could change soon when I start working. I love vanilla, and I'd definitely check this out! But I'd probably end up getting Verbena though, since I love smelling fresh and "green" more. :)
I love vanilla scents too. You're so brave putting your bottle of perfume on a tree branch! Omgsh. What's that P6,500 haircut? Is that for real? O.O I play final fantasy too, my bf taught me :D
