Cedrat Boise Eau de Parfum is very Sophisticated and Powerful. The composition is well balanced and smells beautiful on both men and women. This is a creamy velvety smooth citrus woody fragrance with a little musky character but has some coziness to it that relaxes you. It can easily be your signature scent. It works for all occasions and is a compliment-getter. Though the fragrance has a citrus element to it, I won’t associate it to particular weather. It works beautifully throughout the year whether it is summer, autumn, or winter. If you haven’t tried any Niche fragrance before, this one is a beautiful option to enter into the Niche fragrance world.

Play the game of love with this captivating scent that blends intense rose and bold blackcurrant notes with vivacious jasmine, peony, and pink pepper to create a magical bouquet of floral notes.

Deodorants and antiperspirants have been a debatable topic for a few years now. There are a lot of articles on the Internet that suggest using Deodorants can cause deadly diseases like Cancer. Having said that, one cannot afford to stink all day. People with sensitive skin find it even harder to choose a right deodorant or antiperspirant that doesn’t irritate their skin or give them any bumps or rashes.
Skincare tools come in different varieties and face rollers have been a skincare gurus’ thing for a while. They’re pretty easy to use as well. All you need to do is simply roll it over your skin in upwards motions to stimulate blood flow. A face roller also helps in the absorption of serums and oils better. Not only this, but they also help in defining face structure by stimulating lymphatic drainage thereby reducing puffiness from the face. Facial rollers can also be used on the neck.

Lipsticks are my weak point when it comes to makeup and if you’re a makeup enthusiast, you can never have enough lipsticks! I have tried Yves Saint Laurent Lipsticks before and I absolutely loved the formula. As I am in my mid-thirties, I prefer soft mattes or satin formulas more and that’s because I do not want the lipstick to emphasize my lip lines. YSL Rouge Pur Couture lipsticks unveil an SPF 15 moisturising formula which saturates lips with intense, stay-true colour and medium to full coverage, with a radiant, satin lipstick finish for up to 6 hours.
