Illamasqua –Freak Eau De Parfum
Illamasqua –Freak Eau De Parfum
As Illamasqua is known for their bold take on makeup,
I expected no less from their fragrance. Honestly, if anything at all, Freak
Eau de Parfum sounded positively enchanting and dare I say...scary, thanks to
notes like Frankincense and Myrrh. Freak is the first fragrance from Illamasqua and is a
unisex fragrance, with exotic completely unconventional flower notes. It’ll
smell differently on everyone, but the master notes will remain the same. It’s
definitely not for everyone, but I find it incredible and enchanting, as does
my boyfriend.
TOP NOTES:
Black Davana, Opium Flower and Belladonna bewitch the
senses into uncontrollable lust and passion.
HEART NOTES:
Poison Hemlock, Datura and Queen of the Night
blossom, caress and kiss.
BASE NOTES: Aromas of Frankincense, Oud and Myrrh, addictively
mesmerises and captures the senses.
I’m not going to pretend that I know how to describe
fragrances, because I know if I try, its just going to go all wrong. However,
what I do know is this fragrance is incredible. The scent is clean, something I
think is due to it being a unisex fragrance, and is truly intoxicating. The
website states ‘Freak is
a concoction of dangerously exotic unconventional flowers that Illamasqua has
unashamedly blended together to celebrate the night’ and in my opinion that
sums it up perfectly.
For me, I wouldn’t wear it during the day, it’s
definitely a nighttime/going out fragrance and something I’ve has so many
compliments on. Personally, the fragrance last for such a long time, and I much prefer the scent when it’s warmed a little. I would definitely advise if your
wanting to try this, spray it in store on your wrist, leave it for a little
bit…then smell it. Trust me, you will be mesmerised by it. I bought the 30ml version, however the
70ml bottle is just stunning. Never the less, I think the 30ml is also very
pretty, and much more handy for traveling, which I do often.
Overall, with a name like Freak I was expecting something dark, but what
I got was a mysteriously, exotic fragrance that’s very unique and innovative.
Obviously a lot of time and love went into the make up of this fragrance and it
shows.
