FRAGRANCE | One Direction Our Moment





I'm without a doubt a huge fan of celebrity fragrances. I own every single Britney perfume that's ever been released (multiple bottles too) and Taylor Swift's Wonderstruck is my all-time favourite scent. So when I heard that One Direction were releasing "Our Moment*" into the world of celebrity fragrances, I was pretty excited. There was a lot of backlash on Twitter when the band announced their venture into the perfume world but to me, if something smells nice then it smells nice. It doesn't matter who created it or who endorses it.

The bottle for starters is beautiful. It's the epitome of girly and looks stunning on my dressing table. The fragrance itself smells like your typical celebrity fragrance: fruity, floral and girly. With top notes of pink grapefruit, wild berries and redcurrants, mid notes of jasmine petals, fresh freesia and frangipani and bottom notes of creamy musk, sheer woods and white patchouli. It's the perfect balance - wonderful for teens yet perfect for those in their 20's... my mother even thinks it smells delicious.

The box is something that you're either going to love or hate. While I personally love it - hello Niall! - it's definitely something that appeals more to the One Direction fanbase than fragrance fanatics. Being an Eau De Parfum, the scent lingers on the skin all day long and I only need a couple of spritzes on my wrists and neck. This fragrance is one that I definitely recommend having a whiff of the next time you're in Boots - it just might surprise you. I've been wearing it a lot recently as it's perfect and light for every occasion.

You can view the fragrance range here where the prices start from £14.00 for the body lotion and go up to £28.50 for the 50ml giftset.
