REVIEW: Liz Earle Botanical Essence Eau De Parfum No.15.

Queue excited squeals from Liz Earle fans across the country... Liz Earle have announced that they're bringing out a brand new fine fragrance this month! I've reviewed their first one (you can see that review here - I know, how bad) and I was very happy when I got to try out their new one, Liz Earle Botanical Essence Eau De Parfum No.15*
This fragrance has been inspired by a myriad of scents and aromas from around the world. A whopping fifteen precious botanicals have been carefully selected and handcrafted by an award-winning perfumer, Alienor Massenet, to create the lovely, Liz Earle Botanical Essence No. 15. I will quote what the brand say about the perfume themselves as I'm not good with scents, at all..
'Botanical Essence No.15 is a fresh spicy oriental scent. This clean, sexy and addictive fine fragrance is synonymous with feeling seductive and elegant. Feminine tones of pink pepper, cinnamon and bergamot create a spiciness that is beautifully sexy and skin-like. A hint of captivating Damask rose and sandalwood wrap you in a rich feminine sensuality while the almond and caramel-like qualities of tonka bean and Bourbon vanilla cocoon you in softness and warmth. Beautiful amber musk combined with cypriol and cedarwood creates a clean, fresh undertone.'
First of all, the packaging of this fragrance is beautiful. It has pictures of the ingredients and they're labelled saying what they are. The box then unfolds to reveal the fragrance, just like their first perfume. And then there's the bottle. It's just stunning. Very simple and plain but eye catching and classic. I was surprised by this fragrance. The first one was citrusy and I still use it to this day. But this one is more musky. It's definitely an autumn/winter scent and I love it. It's like nothing that I've ever smelt before and I can't stop myself from spraying it. Just like Liz Earle's first fragrance, this one too is strong and a couple of spritz is more than enough to last you the entire day. You can tell that a lot of love and thought has gone into this product.
You can buy this fragrance here where it retails for £45 for a 50ml bottle.
Have you tried this fragrance before? Will you be doing so?
