[ Perfume ]: BCBG Max Azria edp
2:23:00 PM
This is another super late post that supposed to be up a couple weeks ago, but due to my moving-out process and hectic agenda in the last few weeks I can only review this now. Better late than never, right?
So anyway, I would like to introduce you to a new fragrance in town: BCBGMaxAzria Eau de Parfum.
If you're a fashionista then you would probably recognize the name of
Max Azria or the brand name BCBG. According to the press release that I got, the company has been a worldwide
leaders in ready-to-wear fashion, encompassing a portfolio of nine
brands that includes BCBGMaxAzria, BCBGeneration, Max Azria, Herve Leger
by Max Azria.
After their success in the fashion world they are also taking
the plunge into the perfume arena. Enter their new fragrance: BCBGMAXAZRIA. This perfume was created to embodies the spirit of the BCBGMaxAzria woman.
It comes in a beautiful reflective silver box with pink flower petal graphic in the middle. I know that the bottle would be pretty once I saw the silver box ;)
And I was right indeed. The tiered pink flower petal made of clear-glass hard plastic material is what I first saw when I opened the box. The beautiful pink petal turns out to be the beautiful cap / bottle stopper for the perfume.
The rest of the bottle is see-through glass with the brand's name etched in the middle. In the photo below I actually put the wrong side of the stopper, the slightly loopy side of the petal supposed to be on the front of the bottle.
Here's the real photo if the stopper is on it's right position:

As usual, when I reviewed a perfume here in this blog I would describe it in three words that came to my mind when I smell the perfume. And for this BCBGMaxAzria perfume those words would be:
- Sweet
- Feminine
- Light
According to the press release, the fragrance opens with an intriguing mix of wild strawberry, black cherry and kir royale. And the the middle notes comprised of jasmine, lily of the valley, violet and rose. While the bottom notes include musk (my fave!), orris, and creamy sandalwood (also my fave!) that deepens during the dry-down.

So that explains the floral fruity scent I got from sniffing this perfume. I really like the scent because it's a girly sweet scent that is not too floral or too fruity. It's right there in the middle. The kind of scent that you could wear either to school (college), to the office, for a day out, or for those special moments. Basically anywhere. I can also see that this perfume would be suitable for a lot of women from different age and preferences.
Overall, I recommend this perfume to those of you who like sweet / girly / feminine scent without being too floral or too fruity. In other words, it's a sophisticated version of sweet girly scent. This perfume is also light enough to wear in the morning or for everyday use. I also adore the pretty bottle so much ;)
A quick note: On me, the scent does not linger that long but what I would usually do is to layer some extra spritzes or I re-applied the perfume after several hours. Remember that every perfume reacts differently to different people because each of us have different body chemistry, so although I need layered amount of this perfume to make it stay longer, that doesn't mean that it would happen to you too ;) The best thing is to try some spritzes at the counter and wait for a few hours, if the scent still lingers than it means it works with your body chemistry ;)
This BCBGMAXAZRIA Eau de Parfum is available in stores with the retail price of:
IDR 920,000 for 100ml

Hi Cynthia,
ReplyDeleteAwww... thank you for following my blog :)
Regarding your question it's pretty hard to find perfume under 100K here but for a little bit over 100K you could try one of the TBS perfume. Their little bottle costs around 100K and they have a wide selection from TBS White Musk (which is my personal favorite), and their men perfume are pretty nice too :)
I hope this info helps you yaa...
