SUNDAY SAMPLE {AZZARO CLUB MEN}

I was recently given a sample of both AZZARO CLUB Men and AZZARO CLUB Woman, hence it was at the top of my sample jar. 
Both of these fragrances were launched in South Africa during February 2014.

75ml Edt R655

Both my hubby and I are not of an age to be embroiled in the clubbing scene, but as I have learnt over the years, all the promotional and marketing "bumph" goes out of the window, if the fragrance is enjoyed by a person that doesn't actually fit the brief.

This is what AZZARO CLUB Men say about their latest launch:

An explosive composition that is simultaneously tonic, aromatic and sensual, AZZARO CLUB Men unravels in two facets; to spray endlessly to keep up the pace all night long: 

- Aromatic Electro facet: sparkling and bursting with freshness, from the very first notes… A bold fusion awakens our curiosity: energizing lemon sorbet and biting green papaya. A sassy duo for a concentrate of positive energy. 

- Nocturnal facet: the richness of hemp with the voluptuous woody notes and aromatic aroma of Hinoki wood (native to Japan). The radiance of crystal musk leads us into a sensual and luminous world, in which the first glimmer of daylight appears.

So undeterred by either the name or the target market my "50" something hubby tried the sample and gave his opinion and simply put he:

1. Didn't care much for the name.

2. Enjoyed the initial top notes of fruitiness (he enjoys a fresh lemon fragrance)

3. Didn't enjoy the woody elements of this fragrance.

4. Felt that it didn't really have any staying power on his skin, contrary to the marketing blurb.

5. Wouldn't buy a bottle.

Thank goodness for fragrance samples, as I now know... not what to buy my "Non Club Man".

MONTHLY FAVOURITES {MARCH 2014}

eaten far too much...but it is "delish".

MY FIRST VIDEO BLOG

Well it's done, my 1st Video Blog is up on You Tube, so there is no going back now.

I have to say "it was nerve wracking" and all came about due to the French brand L'Occitane approaching me to a video and a written review on their New Generation Divine Range....and essentially forcing me out of my comfort zone.

As to whether there will be a video no. 2 well!..that all depends on how well this one is received, but I won't hold my breath for a career on TV....

I hope you enjoy and feedback is appreciated, but only positive, as I am a sensitive soul...

only joking!
