What I Say:
I have to be completely honest and upfront and admit that I am not the biggest One Direction fan, or should I say 1D fan, as I believe they are also named. That’s not saying that I have not been bobbing away to their catchy songs, of course I have…. “You don't know, Oh, oh, You don't know you're beautiful…”
And being a huge perfume fan, I was happy when That Moment arrived at my door step – and even more so when I realised that it is a fresh fruity scent with an undertone of citrus – my favourite scent.
The actual scent is made up from:
Top notes: Green Apple, Refreshing Cucumber, Sparkling Tangerine
Middle notes: Delicate Muguet, Peony, Violet
Dry notes: Patchouli, Creamy Musk, Cedarwood
The fragrance is marketed especially to tweens and teens, and consequently both the actual scent somewhat shows this as the scent is sweeter than most.
The scent is fresh and fruity, and again it has a citrusy undertone to it from the included tangerine notes (huge ticks from me), while the included green apple makes it so light and fuity – and somehow reminds me a little of one of my favourite scents, Delicious from DKNY. After wearing it for a while, the lovely notes of especially peony and patchouli also becomes more noticeable.
As the scent is both sweet and fruity, I do feel that it is better suited for use during spring and summer – which it also is in Europe at the time this perfume is launched, - just a shame that Australia is now heading towards winter, which I feel calls for slightly heavier scents.
The scent only lasts a few hours before it fades, and personally I feel it could be a little stronger and longer-lasting – but on the other hand, again, marketed to tweens and teens, I don’t really find it ideal to be too strong either, and then it is actually perfect as it is.
That Moment comes in a heavy pastel pink glass bottle, with a glass and ‘silver and diamond’ crown lid, which does make it look both stunning and very girly at the same time as the heavy bottle makes it feel luxurious.
What I Like:
- The fresh and fruity scent, with citrusy undertone
- Gorgeous girly pink heavy glass bottle
What I Don’t Like:
- It could be a little stronger and longer-lasting, but the light scent is perfect for its target market, the tweens and teens
- Somehow I find it is a shame that the One Direction boys are on the front of the box – I know that 1D die-hard fans are more than likely very excited about this, I think it would have sold to a wider audience (read; older women like me too!) without this image.
Overall this is a nice fresh, sweet floral scent – so if you are particularly enjoying sweet fragrances , then this new That Moment from One Direction will be right up your alley - and as for all the young 1D fans around the world, just like my teenage niece, they will no doubt want this fragrance regardless of the scent and if they like it – very clever marketing boys!
