Now I have to level with you all and say that I have never seen an episode of The Only Way is Essex
(T.O.W.I.E) nor do I plan to, I know many adore the show and that is completely fine by me
but I'm more of a documentary kind of gal...each to their own eh!
However in my opinion fragrance is fragrance, you either like it or you don't
and I don't tend to look too much into the name splashed on the bottle,
I mean one of my favourite fragrances is by Paris Hilton (oh the shame).
As you may be aware newly launched a month or so ago is two new scents by the T.O.W.I.E
franchise - one for ladies and one for gents.
Love Addict is the female variation is a woody oriental accord with top notes of lemon anise
and raisin with floral heart notes.
It is not at all I expected from T.O.W.I.E in my head it would be sickly sweet and the wrong side
of candy floss but it is not, Love Addict is a deep scent that would be better suited to night wear
and had a distinctive licorice fragrance that is softened by the floral notes.
It is unlike anything else I have ever tested and quite distinctive.
Would you or have you tested this? What are your thoughts?

Initial 'sniff' test, I didn't like it. But when I sprayed it on myself, absolutely fell in love with it. I have had so many people comment and ask ''Where is it from?'' ''Who is it by?'' and when I say it's a TOWIE fragrance, sooo many people are surprised! lol I also thought it would be incredibly sickly like the Britney Spears product, but this is just completely different, and in a diff. league of its own (imo anyway lol).
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be quite a sweet smell too. I don't think it's a fragrance I'd turn to, but it's worth a sniff haha! xx

i am intrigued Like yourself, I am not a TOWIE fan and I am ashamed to say i would probably be more likely to see the association to the show and turn my nose up (bad me) but I think I should probably take a leaf out of your book and not judge a book by its cover. I will have to go into town and try this out on Saturday....
ReplyDeleteThat's really interesting, I would probably be put off my the TOWIE name and assume it was something really sickly sweet. I love that it has a licorice fragrance, my fave sweet!
