The Perfume Lady Diana Wore on Her Wedding Day – Houbigant Quelques Fleurs L’Original


My dad was a huge fan of Lady Diana—so much so that he gave me Diana as my middle name, lol. I still remember how he would always watch the news about her, mesmerized by her elegance, kindness, and resilience despite all the media frenzy and scandals. Growing up, I read so many books about her. She truly became one of my earliest inspirations.

Louis Vuitton Coeur Battant Review

 


We all know LV for their bags, but why is no one talking about their perfume collection? I think Louis Vuitton perfume deserves more love—it’s not just about their bag.

I got this sample from my purchase of Louis Vuitton Contre Moi (I’ll review that one later). The SA gave me two samples to try—Cœur Battant and Matière Noire. I’ve always loved trying perfume samples like these before purchasing the full-size bottle. The experience is always lovely.

I usually set my own time, at my own pace, in my bedroom. I spritz a little bit of the precious perfume juice on my wrist, close my eyes… and in that moment, I’m transported into another sweet imagination that somehow mirrors the feeling of the perfume.

The opening of Cœur Battant smells fresh and sweet on me—like a sparkle of chilled pear water mixed with sunlight. It’s fruity, but not cloying at all (I really can’t handle overly sweet, screechy scents—they tend to trigger my migraines). The fresh-fruity top note feels playful and cheerful. I think it will really appeal to young adults. It honestly made me feel young again (lol).

Then, the soft jasmine and blooming ylang-ylang come in, with a touch of greenness—probably from the narcissus. Around this time, I can also smell the patchouli, blending smoothly with the earlier sweetness. It adds an earthy tone, and there’s also something woody and mossy in the drydown, like being in a misty forest. This part of the scent feels like my younger self—full of passion and chasing my dreams.

I smiled while wearing it. This beautiful, well-blended perfume from Louis Vuitton brought back memories of how I lived fully in the past with no regrets. It made me feel grateful, and it stirred something in me—a little spark of that old fire.

That’s why I truly appreciate a fine fragrance like this. Not because it’s expensive or from LV, but because the blend is so beautifully crafted.

Even though I really enjoyed my time with Coeur Battant, I don’t think it suits my current self anymore. It feels like a younger version of me. But if you’re in your 20s or early 30s, I believe you’ll fall in love with this scent—especially if you like something fresh, fruity, yet slightly grounded but still elegant. This is a very feminine fragrance.

In my opinion, Coeur Battant can be worn from day to night. It’s light and fun enough to wear for brunch or hangouts with friends, and soft and romantic enough for a dinner date. I bet your date would love this scent on you (if he’s into sweet, feminine women). ;D

If you want to try one of my LV fragrances for women, you can get the decant here (Indonesia only). I’ll share my full review on that one next time. Xx

Good Girl Carolina Herrera Review

It feels like Good Girl by Carolina Herrera has found its way into almost everyone’s collection—especially across TikTok. The iconic stiletto bottle certainly catches the eye; I’ll admit, it looks interesting and commands attention on any vanity. I’ve seen countless people calling it their signature scent, their all-time favourite. Naturally, I got curious. My expectations were high, though I couldn’t shake a bit of skepticism—after all, when something goes viral, it’s not always as magical as it seems.

There’s no doubt this perfume turns heads. Not just because of the bottle, but also because of the bold and seductive scent. Wherever I go, I always see someone wearing it, talking about it, or recommending it.

Gabrielle Chanel L’eau The New Flankers | My First Impression 2024

Recently, I stumbled upon the new fragrance from CHANEL, a flanker of the iconic Gabrielle. From the moment I saw the ad, I had a feeling this scent was crafted with a younger audience in mind. It feels like a complete departure from the original Gabrielle, which intrigued me even more.

I Made Mbti Perfume

Have you ever wondered what your personality would smell like? Just last week, I found myself exploring a fascinating experience at My Color ID. As someone who's always been intrigued by MBTI personality types, the chance to turn my traits into a personalized scent was something I couldn’t resist. I walked into the studio, filled with curiosity and excitement, wondering how my INFJ personality could possibly be captured in a bottle. What I didn’t expect was for this to become more than just a fun experiment—it turned into a journey of self-discovery, blending the art of perfumery with the essence of who I am."

YSL Libre Le Parfum Review

I know, I know, YSL Libre is all the hype, especially the Intense version. So, there I was at the Sephora Grand Indonesia last week, casually wandering around when I stumbled upon the YSL Libre booth. Curiosity got the better of me, and I decided to test out the original EDP version. Just a little spritz on my skin to see what all the fuss was about.

The opening hit me with a fresh lavender-mandarin punch. It's vibrant, and some might find it leans a bit masculine, but personally, I love it. It’s the kind of scent that works perfectly for everyday wear. Plus, in our lovely humid Indonesian weather, it holds up impressively all day long. The fresh, slightly edgy vibe makes it a great choice for any occasion, whether you're heading to work or just out and about.

NEW CHANEL COMETE PERFUME UNBOXING REVIEW

Guys, mungkin ini kejutan mendadak untuk diriku sendiri dan maybe teman-teman online-ku karena mulai hari ini aku memutuskan ingin melakukan petulangan baru di youtube. Setelah berjuang dengan mental health, aku kembali dengan sesuatu yang baru dan ingin challenge diri aku sendiri melakukan hal yang belum pernah aku lakukan selama ini, yaitu dengan membuat konten di youtube secara konsisten dan sharing hal-hal menarik dengan orang-orang.

Selama ini, aku tidak pernah konsisten karena aku struggle dengan mental health. Bahkan blog aku saja jadi terbengkalai kan, dan aku jarang post di instagram juga karena sering breakdown. Nah karena belakangan ini aku mulai membaik, aku ingin balik menulis blog lagi dan juga mencoba untuk membuat konten video di youtube.

Jujur aja, aku tidak percaya diri dan aku tau video aku masih banyak sekali kekurangan, tapi aku sangat bersemangat karena banyak hal yang ingin aku share dan ceritakan. Selain itu, aku jadi bersemangat karena murid-murid yang dekat denganku menyemangati aku agar mencoba membuat video karena mereka senang mendengarkan aku bercerita. 0:D

Sebenarnya aku masih bingung ingin membuat video apa karena banyak sekali yang ada di kepala aku, maybe jika kalian membaca blog ini, mungkin bisa kasih saran ke aku? Bisa dm aku di instagram, komen di blog ini, atau komen di video pertama aku ini di youtube yaaa. It means so much <3



Video ini tidak aku script dan berjalan secara langsung saja karena jujur aku juga bingung untuk buat settingan yang seperti apa. Aku hanya memposisikan diri aku seperti sedang bercerita ke teman aku aja, wkwk jadinya mungkin kurang akting dan kurang seru ya? Maaf ya kalo misalnya terlalu datar, karena aku ini introvert yang cukup akut. Mungkin yang sesama introvert bisa mengerti perasaan aku? :)

Walaupun aku deg-degan, hari ini aku memutuskan untuk post saja di youtube ketimbang aku cancel lagi. Aku sering membuat tulisan untuk blog dan juga video-video yang akhirnya tidak aku post sewaktu aku tinggal di UK. Penyakit mental itu sangat aneh, hal-hal yang aku sukai jadi hal yang aku takutkan...

Aku jujur sangat senang karena akhirnya aku bisa post video unboxing Chanel Comete ini di saat kondisiku lagi tidak aneh-aneh. Apalagi parfum Chanel ini sangat berharga karena adalah hadiah dari suamiku di ulang tahunku yang ke 37. 

Semoga kalian bisa enjoy dengan celotehanku di video dan jadi sedikit lebih mengerti tentang parfum. Aku tau penjelasan parfum sangat abstrak, mungkin aku juga kurang ahli dalam menjelaskan, tapi aku harap kalian bisa mencoba parfum ini juga someday. Aku masih galau mau share decant-nya atau ngga di Blanc Riviera karena ini adalah hadiah ulang tahun dan harganya lumayan mahal karena Comete adalah bagian dari koleksi Les Exclusifs de Chanel.
