Scents For Your Every Mood: Moschino Cheap and Chic & Versace Bright Crystal

If you're a perfume-addict like me, you'd know how exciting it is to score great deals on your favorite scents! That's exactly what I got from SM Department Store a few months ago. They have a promo that they do not really publicize where BPI and BDO Credit Card holders can get 3 perfumes for only P5,000 AND have their transaction on a 3-month installment AFTER 3 months. As far as I know, it's for those two major banks, correct me if I'm wrong :) I was so excited because until then, I didn't know such an offer existed. Here are the scents I bought:

I have always lusted after Moschino Cheap and Chic's I Love Love but since my dad would buy me my perfumes abroad (he's a retired seaman), I never bothered to buy myself one... until I discovered this deal. I love it because it has a very light citrus-y floral scent perfect for everyday use.It's sexy, feminine and not overpowering. It's composed of these lovely ingredients: Grapefruit, Lemon, Orange, Red Currant (top notes), Bulrush, Cinnamon Leaves, Lily-of-the-Valley, Tea Rose (heart), and Cedar, Musk, Tanaka Wood (base). It's now my everyday scent. The fragrance stays for hours but I always spritz multiple times day ;)

By the way, if you don't want to splurge on a perfume, Petit Monde has a similar-smelling cologne called For My Dreams. :)

The second perfume I got was also by Moschino Cheap and Chic: Light Clouds. It's just as light and refreshing as I Love Love; muskier yet still feminine. Its main ingredients are peach, cyclamen, lotus, jasmine, rose, ambrette, cedar and musk. This one's a tad too plain for me though, with none of the sexy floral and citrus notes of I  Love Love, so I gave it to my  mom ;) Its smell though, is something that I think teenagers or 'tweeners would love.

Lastly, of all the perfumes I tried on top of the Moschino scents, Versace Bright Crystal won my heart. The sexiness of this scent can't be beat! It exudes femininity, fierceness and independence. Composed of Frosted Accord, Yuzu, Pomegranate (top notes), Peony, Magnolia (heart), Lotus Flower, Acajou, Vegetal Amber and Musk (base), Bright Crystal is the scent to go for when you're in your "Miss Independent" mood. Its sweet, floral scent is dominant but not overpowering as it is neutralized by waterlily and lotus. It is also perfect for after-office parties, get-togethers, and romantic dates! My boyfriend actually loves this scent on me to the point where he notices when I am wearing a different scent. The scent lasts all day long, too. 

There's just something about perfumes that can improve the mood we are in. Whether you're feeling sweet and innocent, fierce and seductive, or sporty and active, you bet it will an extra oomph to your entire vibe. As for these three, Moschino I Love Love is the sweet, carefree girl, Light Clouds is the sporty, active lady, and Bright Crystal is the seductive, independent, Miss Boss woman. My favorite among the three? Versace Bright Crystal. I don't use it often but it's the fragrance most people notice and compliment the most. :)

So the next time, you're out in the mall strolling, think of the top 2 or 3 moods you're usually in and find the scents that will go best with those moods. Perfume shops always offer a spray, or sometimes even a free sample when you're lucky so you can always test and find the best scents for you.
