Tried Beloved Moments

Cheap perfume is like cheap wine, it will give you a headache. After testing two of the scents in this three-scent set, and getting a headache two days in a row, I gave up on the third. Perfume is personal. Who knows why one person prefers musks to florals? So, I find it difficult to write perfume reviews, but I do think there is a certain level of quality that is fair to criticize. A perfume hangover is not a good sign.

Tried Beloved Red Rose

My immediate thought at first whiff was that this fragrance should be sprayed on a love letter. Does anyone write those anymore? True to its name, the scent I tested smells exactly like a bouquet of fresh roses. It is incredibly delicate and feminine. If you don’t know someone well enough to guess their taste, this gift set is a safe bet. It comes with a variety of three very different fragrances at an affordable price.
