Well, to be honest, this is not much of a weekend roundup, as I only went to a perfume counter once this weekend, but I did discover that the Roberto Cavalli perfume and Viktor & Rolf's Spicebomb are both available here.
I didn't try either of these on skin, so a bit early to give a proper view. Initial impression for the Cavalli is that it is a fairly standard fruity floral. Having said that, it smelled ok to me, but not something that I want to seek out specifically.
Spicebomb is certainly a perfume I will be trying. On paper it smelled very good - quite a lot of pepper to start and a nice cardamom note develops. How that will translate on my skin remains to be seen. It did smell rather fleeting on paper, which worries me a little. Antidote, for example, is one that I've always found too light and I'm hoping Spicebomb won't go the same way.
A friend of ours who is leaving the country left us some bath and body products that she can't take with her. Included was a little left over of Kenzo's Flower. It's been a while since I last smelled this one. I'd forgotten just how distinctive it is. I'd be interested to find out what you think of it.
