Laugh with me LeeLee - Benefit fragrance review.

 
When I left my job writing for Boots, my amazing workmates gave me a big bag of beauty goodies to say goodbye! Benefit's 'Crescent Row' gift set is definitely my fave treat - four beautiful fragrances, each with their own name, personality and poem (wow)...

So let's have a sniff of crisp and clean LeeLee!  

her playful wink
and mischievous smile

the flirtatious side
of her innocent style

no thought or worry
of what's meant to be

first laughter, then love
"... along came LeeLee"

LeeLee smells like a lily, hence her name. I can also pick out woody notes, citrus and a nice dash of jasmine mmm! There is something of the woods about LeeLee and she's perfect for breezy outdoor days – like a breath of fresh air. I'll admit the citrus aspect goes a bit 'air freshener' on me (sorry LeeLee) but if you adore light clean scents then she's hard to beat. However if you're looking for something more fruity then Bella is your woman, and Gina is downright FILTHY.

If LeeLee was a person she'd be a fun yet very hygiene-conscious fairy, playing in a bath of lilies and lemons inside a woodland glade (#imayhavetodrawher). She's young, wholesome and I can really feel that 'innocent style' mentioned in her poem, but her 'flirtatious side' less so. LeeLee would rather climb a mountain or scrub her bathroom to sparkling lemony freshness than steal your man - that's Gina's job! She is not a seductive scent, unless you want someone to lean in and whisper "Mmm, you smell nice and clean".

Overall I'd rate LeeLee as a lovely casual fragrance for having adventures with; she'll be particularly special on spring days! Hope you've enjoyed my review, now who should I sniff next?
