One Direction | Our Moment

I think it's about time that I talked about one of my absolute favorite scents as of late. It's such a favorite that in the 2 1/2 months that I've had it, I've used up more than half. I have perfumes that I have had for up to a year and there's only just the slightest of dents. That ladies and gents is a testament to just how amazing and in love I am with the One Direction Our Moment perfume ($49.50 for 1.7 oz.) 

Now okay, I'm not a crazy Directioner (totally not judging if you are!) but it was one of those things that you know is going to sell for the name. Upon walking into Sephora, I was less than impressed with the slightly tacky outer packaging, haha. I can do without the five floating heads staring at me. Then I saw the bottle and though "oh yeah, how cute would that look sitting on a dresser or amongst other perfumes?" The bottle is a clear hexagonal shape, in which you can see the pale pink liquid. The top is actually meant to look like a regal crown in silver. It has little accents on the metal strips that really give it that something extra. In the middle, to complete the crown, is pink tulle (at least I think that's what that fabric is. It could just be netting) It's a girly and fun packaging that the youngest of Directioners can enjoy as well some of the older fan base. I display it loud and proud in front of even my Marc Jacobs and Dior perfumes (oups! XD) 

As for the scent, it's everything I could ask for. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Our Moment is really fruity with a floral kick throw in. The Sephora website describes it as "a fun, sparkling, fruity debut fragrance..." It has a nice mix of notes ranging from pink grapefruit (yum!) to jasmine to white patchouli (which, if you know me, I'm not patchouli's biggest fan, but you can't really detect it/it works for this perfume) This is one of those perfumes that when I wear it people notice it, even hours after I've sprayed it on. I actually get complimented a lot for it when people get close enough to get a good whiff, which then results in the question "what is it?!" and I have to (not gonna lie, quite embarrassingly) admit that it's the One Direction perfume, haha *hides face*

All in all, the scent and packaging, are spot on. I can see a whole range of girls and young ladies loving this scent. It's a great mix of notes so that it's not overly fruity, or floral, or musky, it's the perfect combo, just like the boys of One Direction (did I really just type that? LOL) If it's still in stock where ever you buy perfume I'd def. say it's a "must-sniff"! I'm actually gutted that it's sold out everywhere around me. Guess this was a romance between girl and perfume that wasn't meant to last! *sigh*
What do you think of celebrity perfumes? Which is your current favorite perfume?

    1. Haha, I thought I could stand tall because of how much I loved the scent, but it's so hard! I know of some celebrity perfumes that I don't care for much either, like Nicki Minaj, and I love the scent of her perfumes but the packaging on that one is just frightful!!

  2. I dont think I'll ever buy a One Direction perfume but the packaging makes me say otherwise! :) LOL! It's a beautiful shape and would look pretty on a vanity, definitely.

    1. I didn't think I would ever buy a One Direction perfume either, but the scent is actually really lovely, along with the not-so-tacky packaging I could justify it. Just feel really embarrassed when people ask what it is, haha!
