I spent years looking at Alien online. I had never smelled it, but the name and bottle design pulled me in. The notes didn't particularly appeal to me, but I just... Couldn't stay away. When I finally got my hands on a sample it was a done deal.
I never had the opportunity to smell the original formula. I often wonder what I missed out on. If this version is so lovely, how could the older juice be even better?
Regardless, Alien and Aura dragged me into the world of Mugler and I'm hooked. Most days, I'm wearing something from this house.

Hello! Welcome to the brand new Hesperides fragrance blog. Here I will be reviewing some fragrances and samples I own.
For the first fragrance review, I have My Way Floral by Giorgio Armani. It was launched in 2022, and the noses behind it are Carlos Benaim and Pascal Gaurin.
My Way Floral is a fruity, citrus scent with notes of green mandarin, orange blossom, tuberose, neroli, and musk. Upon spraying it you get a blast of juicy, sweet orange, with a hint of bubblegum from the tuberose. Overall, it reminds me of a fruit bubble tea in the summer.
This is my current favourite spring scent, as it's great for the warmer months. It's not a complex or confusing scent, nor does it feel simple or generic. The citrus from the neroli gives freshness and youth to the original My Way DNA without hiding the tuberose or smelling like cleaning products. However, the tuberose is much more prominent in the original My Way. As someone who is hit-and-miss with tuberose, I gravitate more toward My Way Floral, so this may be something of interest to those like me.
Moving on to the bottle design, I always love frosted glass as it reminds me of cool summer drinks. All the My Way flankers have similar bottles, but I think the frosted glass matches the freshness of the scent really nicely.
~~~~~~~~~~
Something that I'd like to try with this blog is to give a song with each fragrance.
The song for this scent is SunKissing by Hailee Steinfeld.
~~~~~~~~~~
If you are looking for a new scent this summer, I hope this helped! Watch out for more to come, as I'll try to post 3 times a week. In the meantime, let me know if there are any scents you would like me to try! Based on where I live, it's a little difficult to get access to niche or indie scents, but I will try my best.
Until next time! x

How To Make Your Perfume Last Longer on Hot Days
When the summer sun is at its peak, wearing perfume in the summer can be a challenge. The heat can evaporate fragrances faster than you’d like, leaving you feeling less than fresh. However, with a few strategic tips, you can make your favourite scents last longer, even on the hottest days.
Preparing Your Skin
The longevity of your perfume starts with your skin. Hydrated skin retains fragrance better than dry skin. Apply an unscented moisturiser or a light oil like jojoba right after showering, before spritzing your perfume. This creates a base that holds the scent longer. Exfoliating regularly also helps by removing dead skin cells, allowing the perfume to adhere better to the fresh skin underneath. Ensure your skin is clean, as dirt and oil can interfere with the fragrance.
Strategic Application
Where you apply your perfume is just as important as how you prepare your skin. Pulse points, such as your wrists, neck, and behind your ears, are the best places. These areas emit heat, which helps to diffuse the fragrance throughout the day. For an extra boost, spray your perfume on your hair or clothing, but be mindful that some fabrics can stain. Another trick is to lightly mist your scarf or hat, which will carry the scent without direct contact with your skin.
Choosing the Right Fragrance
Not all perfumes are created equal when it comes to withstanding the heat. Light, citrus, or floral scents can evaporate quickly, while woody or musky fragrances tend to linger longer. Opt for perfumes with stronger base notes, such as amber or sandalwood, which have more staying power in warmer temperatures. This doesn't mean you have to abandon your favourite light scents entirely; consider layering them with matching body lotions or oils to enhance their longevity.
Physical Activity and Perfume
Engaging in physical activities raises your body temperature and increases perspiration, which can diminish your perfume’s staying power. When planning to be active, apply your fragrance from Perfume Direct at least 20 minutes before heading out. This gives it time to dry and settle into your skin. Carry a travel-sized version of your fragrance for touch-ups. If you’re concerned about reapplying, focus on more durable application spots like your hair or the inner hem of your clothing, which are less affected by sweat.
Scented Accessories
To keep your fragrance fresh all day, scented accessories can be a useful addition. Perfumed jewellery, such as bracelets or necklaces designed to hold a few drops of perfume, can provide a steady release of scent. Similarly, you can find scented scarves and hair ties that are infused with fragrances. These accessories are perfect for hot days, as they allow you to enjoy your favourite perfume without worrying about it fading too quickly.
Keeping Your Perfume Fresh
Proper storage of your perfumes is essential to maintain their quality and longevity. Heat, light, and humidity can degrade fragrances over time. Store your perfume bottles in a cool, dark place, away from direct sunlight and temperature fluctuations. A drawer or a closet is ideal. Avoid keeping them in the bathroom, where the humidity from showers can alter the composition of the perfume. This ensures that your scents remain as fresh and potent as the day you bought them.
Refreshing Your Scent Throughout the Day
Despite all efforts, sometimes a touch-up is necessary. Carry a small atomiser filled with your favourite perfume for a quick refresh during the day. Apply it to your pulse points and lightly mist your hair for an instant boost. Solid perfumes are also a convenient option for on-the-go application. They are compact and can be discreetly applied whenever needed. Remember, a little goes a long way; don’t overapply, as this can lead to an overpowering scent.
Enjoying Summer Scents
Summer is a time to enjoy lighter, fresher scents that complement the season’s vibe. With the right preparation and application, you can make your perfume in the summer last longer, ensuring you smell delightful all day long. Follow these tips to keep your fragrance fresh, vibrant, and long-lasting, even in the warmest weather. Whether you're at a picnic, beach, or simply out for a walk, your scent will remain a beautiful part of your summer experience.
You Might Be Interested In These Commonly Asked Questions
Can I wear my winter perfume in the summer?
While you can wear any perfume you like year-round, winter perfumes typically have heavier, richer scents that might feel overwhelming in the summer heat. Summer perfumes usually feature lighter, fresher notes that are more suitable for warmer temperatures. If you prefer your winter scent, try applying it more sparingly or layering it with a lighter fragrance to create a balanced effect.
How often should I reapply my perfume during the day?
This depends on the type of perfume you’re using and your activities. Generally, a high-quality perfume should last several hours. If you’re active or in a particularly hot environment, you might need to reapply every 3-4 hours. Carrying a travel-sized version of your fragrance for touch-ups can help maintain your scent throughout the day without overapplying.
What are the best perfume types for lasting through the summer heat?
Perfumes with strong base notes such as amber, sandalwood, and musk tend to last longer in the heat. Eau de parfum (EDP) is more concentrated and has a longer staying power compared to eau de toilette (EDT). Additionally, look for perfumes with balanced compositions that include both light top notes and robust base notes to ensure longevity.
