Florse: Capturing the Essence of Feminine Spring

Florse by Scent & Stories

My experience with Scent & Stories fragrances goes back to quite a while, sparked by a salesperson's initial introduction. They've constantly impressed me! While Elegant (their impression of Coco Mademoiselle) is usually my favorite, I decided to try Florse (their impression of Gucci Bloom) this time.

Florse: Capturing the Essence of Feminine Spring

Imagine the delicate beauty of springtime captured in a bottle. That's Florse, a captivating floral fragrance from Scents & Stories that resonates with absolute feminine energy. It's a beautiful mix of light and deep scents, making it a unique fragrance. And I have always admired floral fragrances. 

A Symphony of Notes

Florse is a blooming bouquet with a carefully curated blend of notes:

• Top Notes: The fragrance opens with a burst of freshness, combining the zesty brightness of Citruses and Mandarin Orange with the delicate floral sweetness of Peony.
• Middle Notes: At its heart, Florse reveals a romantic and elegant bouquet. The intoxicating aroma of Rose intertwines with the unique, fruity-floral scent of Osmanthus, creating a captivating and feminine core.
• Base Notes: As the fragrance settles, it leaves a warm and sensual trail. Sandalwood provides a creamy, woody depth, while Pink Pepper adds a subtle spice and a touch of intrigue. Patchouli grounds the fragrance with its earthy, slightly musky character, adding complexity and longevity.

More than just a scent, it's an experience.

Florse is more than just a perfume; it's an embodiment of feminine grace and the vibrant energy of spring. It's perfect for the woman who embraces her delicate side while possessing a quiet strength and depth.

Winter's Gentle Kiss : Significance of Rain in Islamabad - Rawalpindi

Winter's Gentle Kiss

The parched earth of Islamabad and Rawalpindi has finally received its long-awaited drink. After weeks of dry winter days, the recent rainfall has brought a refreshing change, a soft and gentle kiss from the sky. Moreover, it signifies more than just a change from the monotony. 

Winter rain in our region of Islamabad and Rawalpindi plays a vital role in many ways. Rain replenishes depleted groundwater reserves to ensure a sustainable water supply. It also acts as a natural cleanser, improving air quality after prolonged dry spells. It revitalizes the region's flora, from the beautiful Margalla Hills to the personal home gardens, promoting healthy growth. This winter rainfall is crucial for Rabi crops for surrounding agricultural lands, ensuring a better harvest. And most important of all, this rain brings a psychological uplift, a sense of renewal that combats the winter dreariness. 

After a long dry spell, the recent rain has made a big difference. Everyone is relieved. The air is now fresh, plants and trees look healthy and so green and everything looks clean. The dust and smog is gone and the twin cities feel alive again. The rain reminds us how important water is to us and life. We must all save every drop to keep the long-term health of our environment.

Miniso | Capsule Liquid Lipstick in # 03

Have You Felt This Texture Yet?

Lipstick lovers, gather 'round! 

I have swatched, swiped and scrutinized countless lip products in my quest for the perfect one. However, I recently found an amazing lipstick texture that was one of the most unique I have ever experienced. It is the Miniso Capsule Liquid Lipstick in the shade # 3.

Forget your standard creams, mattes, and glossy finishes. This isn't just another variation on the themes we are already familiar with - it is a completely new texture. It’s a velvety, almost whipped consistency, a bit hard to describe. 

Why Is This Texture So Special?

Every makeup store I go to is full of lipsticks, and it is rare to find something that genuinely stands out. Miniso has been one of my favorite brands for unique finds. (I even bought an umbrella from there recently! :) I really liked the shade which became the reason of the purchase. In the beginning i was skeptical about the longevity as the texture seems soft and easily fading. Yet, it is not just the way it looks; it's the way it feels. It’s one of the most unique textures I've ever encountered. As far as the stay is concerned - it stays on the lips for long! I usually build up the color by re-apply 2, 3 times with my fingers instead of the brush. 

My Verdict

Miniso Capsule Liquid Lipstick in the shade # 3 isn't just another addition to our makeup bag; it’s a conversation starter. It’s a reminder that beauty can be both beautiful and innovative. If you're looking for a lipstick that breaks the mold, this unique texture is definitely worth exploring.
