Review: essence Like A Trip To New York

Always on the lookout for a bargain, I saw this at Dischem and went to sniff it after reading Chantelle from Not Another Poppie's review.



For the grand total of R89.95 you get a 50 ml bottle of perfume. It's a cute disk-shaped bottle and the box looks very colourful and summery. The smell is fresh and citrussy and I absolutely loved it from the first whiff. It smells almost exactly like the first grownup scent I ever owned: the original DKNY in the skyscraper bottle (which is probably where "Like a trip to New York" comes from).

Being a cheap perfume, I wasn't expecting much, but the scent lasts for a good couple of hours and then fades away instead of becoming gross.

Not much more that I can say except: 1) it's cheap as chips, 2) it doesn't smell weird or gross after a few hours, 3) it comes in a cute bottle. I only saw it at the one Dischem, but then again, after I purchased it I didn't go looking for it again, so maybe it's still on shelves.

Have you ever tried essence scents? Did you like it? Let me know in the comments section!

Until next time!
