Something about hats...

I was looking for a stylish hat for this winter and spring, and I did not wish to spend more than 30£ on it. By browsing many online stores, I found the two most beautiful ones that match my style and my favourite colours. Both are on Amazon! I have to admit that they are of great quality and for a good price!

If you searching for something to keep your head warm and elegant for the next couple of weeks, I recommend visiting Amazon and looking at their beautiful hats. 

Links to these two hats I wear in the photos are here below:

Red Hat  - a similar hat to the one in the photo above.

Grey Hat - also available in different colours.

Yves Saint Laurent makes a few of my favourite perfumes, and if I ever consider something elegant, sweet and sexy, I visit this brand first. I tested many fragrances in past years. I trust that any perfume made by this brand is long-lasting. I will never have enough of it. 

How to make your perfume last longer on your skin?

Do you know there is a universal method to prolong the fragrance? You may have tried some products, such as Vaseline or oils, but they are not suitable to apply in many places on to your skin. Oily patches on your dress are not something you want to be visible.

Many well-known luxurious perfumes consist of ingredients, which have the purpose to make their fragrance last for a specific amount of time. One of them is an ingredient called Iso E Super. Often, it is not revealed on the list of ingredients. It is kept secret. 

This ingredient drew the attention of one German perfumer named Geza Schoen. That man got an incredible idea to create the product, based only on this one ingredient. Gaza knew the secret obviously...The perfume he made would allow us to use it as a primer for any other perfume to make it last longer.

So no matter if your perfume is worth 15£ or 75£, this perfume would make it last a few hours longer. 

The perfume is called Molecules 01. The fragrance smells of wood, literally like shredded paper, but effectively will make your perfume last longer.
