Live Platinum by JLo

I have been on a hunt to acquire a new scent for almost a year and a half.

I’m pretty picky when it comes to fragrances, because it is something intimate - It speaks volume about a person’s taste and personality. Plus (as ironic as it sounds), I hate to be a wearer of a popular fragrance. Wearing the same scent as the person standing next to me, is somewhat embarrassing.

One year and a half, and possibly 100 over scent testings later, I finally found something that I like! Introducing: Live platinum by Jennifer Lopez.

This scent has been out since last autumn as a winter collection, but I have never crossed path with it, till today. Inspired by winter, it is suppose to represent the idea that “every wish in wonderland sparks a sea of stars“. How befitting for me as I adore winter.

Key scents include marzipan, plum, ruby grapefruit, christmas rose, heliotrope, orange blossom, vanilla, musk, white cedar wood and amber. When applied, there is a sharp sense of flowery fruitiness. But as it wears off, it slowly morphs into a calm scent that smells like muted flowers; frozen in ice. After a longer while, the initial hint of fruitiness is now masked over by a thin crisp wood scent that is covered in fresh snow.

This limited edition eau de perfume comes in a snow-inspired bottle; only available in 50ml, and retails at SGD $82.

I’m so happy to add this little number to my collection of perfumes. =)
