In Love again..... By Yves Saint Laurent
*********************************

I first discovered this perfume whilst on holiday a few years ago. It was whilst on a holiday with friends, wondering around the array of wonderful stores, that l discovered 'in love again' by Yves Saint Laurent .
One smell of this fragrance and I instantly loved this perfume and knew l had to have it.
Strangely enough it was sometime after this encounter that l actually got my very own bottle. I was going to go back to the store, but as my holiday didnt go quite to plan, and l ended up in hospital, l didnt get my bottle.

It was some years later, when l had hinted to my boyfriend that l would like a bottle, that he brought me a bottle.

About this fragrance
*****************

This particular fragrance is a limited edition which was introduced in 1998. However you can still buy this fragrance online and at various other places.
The bottle is a decent sized bottle. At the bottom of the bottle it tells me its made in France and that it is a 100ml bottle.
Yves Saint Laurent can be relied on for his great designs. Other popular fragrances from Yves Saint Laurent are Opium, paris and elle. These are products you can trust for quality.

Appearance
************

The box that the perfume is brought in, is a very colourful box, with a heart on the front. It features the name of the perfume 'in love again' and then underneath is the designers name.
It looked the same as the picture above.

The bottle itself is very attractive too. What you notice about both bottle and the box, is that it is a very modern, funky, summery perfume, in both image and scent. Its probably styled at younger people and the scent would probably be more appealing to younger people.
The bottle is styled in the shape of a heart, which is a good as it keeps with the theme of 'love'.


********
The scent
********

On first impressions the perfume is sweet, floral and fruity. It is a very feminine scent with quite a strong smell, but it is rather unique. The blend of citric fruits compliments the perfume well. Its difficult at first to distinguish the blend of fruits, but there is a blend of grapefruit and grapes, this is probably the strongest blend that comes through, but there are more subtle tones too, such as Blackberry.

Although the perfume has a rather strong scent, it is definitely a day perfume. It is a summery smell, that instantly brings summer to you when you spray. The fresh summer smells of summer are never forgotten when you have a bottle of 'in love again'.

When you spray, an adequate amount of the perfume sprays on the desired area. At first the fragrance is quite strong, but it settles with the scent of your skin and becomes a less intrusive gentle but fresh summer scent. I do quite like fruity smells and if you like this type of fragrance l would recommend it.
The scent lasts for a pretty average amount of time, not a particularly long time, but it appears to last a similar amount of time to any other perfumes l have. This is probably a couple of hours

My thoughts
***************************

I loved this perfume for ages. I still like to wear it , but l don't class it as a favourite any more.
It's a lovely light summery fragrance, but l am finding that the smell can sometimes be sickly sweet. So l would prefer to use this fragrance occasionally, rather than on a daily basis. I would recommend this scent for those that like fruity smells. Cost wise it is probably pretty average with other fragrances available.
I was happy with this product, l thought it was really well presented. Ive had my bottle ages now, but l have found that it has actually gone down very slowly, even though l have used it quite frequently.

This fragrance can be brought for aprox. £23

Summary: a nice summery day time fragrance
