Giorgio Armani Code Colonia

CODE COLONIA has the elegance of a man who knows exactly how to wear his clothes with a discreet, casual ease, giving him a certain allure and seductive power.  

Stylish, charming, powerful, irresistible. CODE. 

This masculine allure combines a relaxed attitude with elegance revealing a touch of one’s true self, something personal. Interactions with others are more authentic and direct, like a discreet fragrance that is only revealed on contact with the skin. 

ARMANI CODE COLONIA has a evidently simple composition, not limited to the freshness of a cologne, but easy to read, to understand and feel. The relaxed, casual spirit is there in a discreet fragrance that does not provoke, but offers beautiful ingredients and instantly gives an impression of quality. The scent is easy to wear yet exudes a rare elegance. Sensual and attractive, it creates an emotional response at first touch. Hollywood actor Chris Pine* embodies this sensation of an instant attraction.

 A NEW TAKE ON FRESHNESS

Created by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu (Givaudan), ARMANI CODE COLONIA is part of the same family as ARMANI CODE and ARMANI CODE PROFUMO.

“When I began to work on this fragrance, I immediately wanted to keep its fougère spirit that’s so attractive and virile, and add to it a freshness and elegance by marrying the note with a soft orange blossom accord.”

Therein lies the originality of ARMANI CODE COLONIA: it is a salicylate fougère cologne that opens with a pronounced citrus note over an underlying sensual, woody, amber tone.

 ARMANI CODE COLONIA offers a combination of citrus (bergamot, mandarin, pink peppercorns) with aromatic middle notes of clary sage that mingle with floral notes and resonate with salicylate orange blossom. The trail ends on a more fleshy base note with woody, amber, tonka and heliotrope notes (for the powdery quality typical of fougères).

 It is this cologne freshness bursting with sensuality, with a light but sophisticated sillage, which reflects a casual attitude elevated to a tenet of elegance that is always respected, never neglected.

AN ELEGANT AND TRANSPARENT BOTTLE

The instantly recognisable bottle reveals the same sleek and stylish lines as those of the designer’s clothes for men. Only the colour has changed: ARMANI CODE COLONIA comes in a fresh, seductive blue.

The patinated cap is topped with the GA monogram. Just below, the subtle grain of a wide black band evokes an iconic cummerbund of the tuxedo, a symbol of elegance.

ARMANI CODE COLONIA, a blend of lightness and depth, signalling a different, more understated seduction.

Kiehl’s Apothecary 

Today I received my very own personalised skin care miracle in the post. The beautiful people from Kiehl’s asked me what my two skin concerns were. 

1. Lines and wrinkles 

2. Open pores

And this morning I received my prescribed by Kiehl’s remedy. 


I will be starting this tonight and will report back in a few weeks and let you know what I think. To be honest though, I’ve always loved Kiehl’s since working with it in Blue Eriu back in the day so I don’t think I’ll be disappointed.

Marina Hoersmanseder X CATRICE Limited Edition Collection

How pretty is this! I just love love love the packaging from this collaboration. I am so delighted to have a few samples of the range to try out and as you know for an affordable make up range, CATRICE always comes up with the goods. 


The eyeshadow palette CO1 EYEconic straps contains four shades that suit anyone and any occasion. Silky and smooth texture with different effects. Three frosted shadows and one satin(brown). 

This cute Mini brush is angled to help you achieve that subtle GLOW when applying your highlighting pearls.
These little pearls are so shimmery and pretty and when applied over your base will give your skin (cheekbones,nose,decollatage) a beautiful GLOW and highlight. It can be intensified for nighttime by layering on more. Easy to apply and easy to blend. 

I’m loving the colour of this nail polish, it’s called Garden View, a pretty it would suit any skin tone and it has a matt effect so it makes it that bit more edgy and elegant at the same time. 


CATRICE also sent me the cutest little make up bag in blush pink with a saddle strap design on it. Perfect size for your handbag and finished with rose gold zipper. 

CATRICE is available in pharmacies and Penneys/Primark stores too. 

CATRICE is an affordable make up brand and prices start at €2.99
