Kerry Anne’s Reviews:

Calvin Klein Secret Obsession

The fragrance has top notes of exotic plum, mace and rose de damas; a heart of Egyptian jasmine, French orange flower and tuberose, and base notes of cashmere woods, burnt amber, Madagascan vanilla and Australian sandalwood – deeelish!
The Secret Obsession campaign has been a bit controversial. You can leave a question for Eva Mendes at the Secret Obsession Facebook page. Eva will select 5 of the questions, and then the answers will be posted on Bellasugar. They’ve used the controversy in their favour for sure. They’ve marketed this one brilliantly. I’ll back it up because I love this scent!

Gwen Stefani’s Harajuku Lovers Collection

Gwen has come out with 5 new fragrances, inspired by the Harajuku shopping district in Tokyo. Each bottle of perfume is contained in a supercute doll bottle.
“Love” is a sensuous flora scent that comes in a super cute and frilly bottle.
“Lil Angel” is a fruity floral scent that comes in a sassy and sexy bottle.
“Music” is a delicate floral scent that comes in a bottle that’s tough, with an attitude!
“Baby” is a powdery musk scent that comes in a girlie and sweet bottle.
“G” is a modern gourmand that comes in a bottle that’s clearly the leader of the pack!

Intimately Beckham for Her

It came out in 2006. I just recently tried it and admittedly didn’t have high hopes for this one. I thought it would be cheap smelling. It is a nice perfume for the price. I’ve been wearing it quite a bit this summer, and think it’s worth checking out if you like a light floral. Which I usually don’t. Go figure.

Quick correction: the member of Led Zeppelin that KA’s husband saw in Toronto was Jimmy Page, not John Bonham (who died in 1980). Whoops!
