United Colors of Benetton has been that “aspirational” brand for me as a kid, way back in highschool and college. My classmates would have bags from Benetton, and would sport fragrances from them, and I think I got my first Benetton wallet when I could first afford it. The brand’s been there for the longest time.

Body mists – those were also part of me, growing up. When I was in high school, classmates would bring their bottles of body mists from imported brands, and I think I actually bugged mom ( and was successful at that ) to buy a bottle of my own, of course, with me choosing what I exactly wanted. In this area, it has to be YOU who has the affinity for the scent, and not just some “uso” or “in” thing. You’ll suffer for it if you choose the most popular scent, or worse, smell like everyone else!

Oh, Benetton, why did you release this just now? You could’ve contributed to an even more exciting childhood/teenagehood for me! Hahaha! Continue reading

A few weeks ago, I was invited to a Zumba-themed product launch! It seemed fun alright, look at my friends dancing, smiling, and losing weight at the same time!

The dance party was facilitated by the talented group from Studio 116 Dance School. They believe that anyone can dance, and they will definitely let out the inner dancer in you! As my friends were having fun dancing, I was just beat myself, enjoying the show. They were all so cute! The instructor at Studio 116 Dance School who was leading the dance was just…so mesmerizing! She was just so good that really inspired me to try dancing! Perhaps I could grab the guts to enroll dance classes one day. After all, my dream is to become a dancer. ( I have too much dreams! Actress, dancer, naku! too ambitious =)))) ) Continue reading

I remember Benetton fragrances being the “in” fragrance when I was in high school and college. They were so fragrant, that they were almost every hip teenager’s scent, before graduating and checking out more mature fragrances. I was surprised that after all these years, Benetton has revamped its fragrance line, and has new, interesting scents! Here are some :

Hot Gold for women

Its Latin name aurum – meaning shining dawn – gives a hint of the multiple evocations of gold. Gold is light and love, hope and happiness. Hot Gold for women captures these associations in a light and elegant fruity floral fragrance which opens with a bright bergamot note, rounded out by touches of golden apple and yellow peach. The delicate heart blends star fruit and radiant rose with soft hints of mimosa, developing into a sensual dry-down of sandalwood, solar musks and golden amber.

Benetton Hot Gold is described as, “floral green fruity.” My impression with this? One sniff, and I smell more of flowery than fruity of this scent. Romantic, and flowery. This is how I would describe this.
