Elizabeth Arden White Tea Wild Rose Eau de Toilette Spring Summer 2019 Fragrance 1

.

Rose is probably my favorite fragrance note, and fragrances with rose as one of the main notes often get my attention and go onto my “to test” list. Of course, it is all about the overall composition, and fresher and greener rose-based fragrances have completely different characters from those of woodier and smokier ones. Elizabeth Arden‘s White Tea Wild Rose Eau de Toilette was launched earlier this year, and I tested it a couple of times. I decided to add it to my fragrance stash, and today I will be sharing my thoughts on it.

Shiseido Cle de Peau Spring Summer 2019 1

.

– Shiseido’s Playlist line has been discontinued. (See the line’s official statement here.) The line was only launched in September 2016, and it is a pity that it was so short-lived. It had some interesting product ideas, but I wonder whether its relatively limited visibility (it was only sold on-line and at Shiseido’s flagship store in Ginza, Tokyo) affected its potential.

– According to this article from Cosmetics Business, Clé de Peau will be launched in the UK in September and it will be available exclusively at Harrods. This is great news for Japanese beauty fans in the UK. (The brand is currently available in the Asia-Pacific region (Japan, China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam), the US, Canada and Russia.)
