Perfume Review: MOR Marshmellow


MOR Marshmallow evokes a sense of intimacy, comfort and sensuality. Although it is not a complex fragrance, its boudoir-style packaging and powdery, ultra-feminine scent makes me feel like an old-world belle in a whimsical world.
As for the scent itself, MOR describes the Marshmallow scent as “Vanilla Musk with Jasmine Flower gloriously rapture in this pretty feminine fragrance. Sugar dipped Rose Petals with White Carnation and Cotton Candy blend beautifully to create a deliciously sweet perfume.”
Clean musk adds a slightly boudoir, old-world feel that I love. Roses contribute a balance to the sweetness of the musk, creating a floral aroma that marries a note of vanilla. 

There is a definite powderiness that also adds to the boudoir appeal and I think this represents the ‘idea’ of a marshmallow very well, like the fine dusting of powder that you get on an actual marshmallow.

Marshmallow is housed in a simple, yet beautiful crystal bottle that represents the fragrance perfectly. It’s also an affordable product too, with the roll-on being priced at a reasonable $19.95 and the 100mL EDP priced at $69.95.

Overall, Marshmallow is a very simple, light but unique fragrance that would suit those who enjoy a sweet yet soft floral fragrance.

The MOR Marshmallow range can be purchased online (http://www.morcosmetics.com/) Myer and David Jones.

Perfume Review: Dreams Unlimited by The Body Shop


The Body Shop’s Dreams Unlimited EDP ($53.95, 50mL) is pretty and fresh, just perfect for hot summer days. It opens with a refreshing greenness and a subtle spice note that comes from green chili. There is a hint of lemon which adds sparkle to Dreams Unlimited’s composition and a touch of pale, sheer florals which stop this perfume from smelling too green.
Dreams Unlimited has that ‘just showered’ feel: fresh and clean! I spray this with abandon on hot days and revel in its cooling quality. As the green fades there is a subtle powdery quality to the background florals but Dreams Unlimited still retains its tranquillity. Whilst the Body Shop describes this scent as ‘exhilarating’ I find it the exact opposite, utterly relaxing.
Unfortunetly silage and staying power are both low on this fragrance, this is one that you will likely enjoy on your own as someone would have to be quite close to catch a whiff. You will need to spray a few times throughout the day, but due to how I feel when reapplying Dreams Unlimited I certainly don’t mind.
