Missguided Babe Power was the fastest selling perfume,
outselling Paco Rabbane and Dior when it launched last year. I didn’t even know
that there was a perfume by Missguided and it was already a smashing hit, until
I received it. That is because it is not the brand where I would normally look
for perfume.
However, if I was a teenager or this perfume was launched
many years ago, I would be wearing it almost every day. Missguided has hit all
the marks with Babe Power EDP. Let's first talk about the packaging. It comes
in a rose gold can. Rose gold is a big trend and Missguided has given the best present.
Who mind a bit of rose gold in life? The outer carton box has Ten Commandments
to be more powerful and boss of you – very clever. And fizzy drink inspired can
casing is quite unique and cute at the same time and very Instagramable. The
ring pull is the atomizer and there is “press for good vibes” written on top of
can. It doesn’t blend with my other perfume bottles but I suppose that is the
idea behind. Babe Power is clearly targeting young people and it constantly
reminds them to be more confident and evokes positivity. It is strong, lively
and a bit cheeky perfume. Staying power of Babe Power is excellent. It stayed all
day on my skin. It is quite strong perfume, not subtle but not horrible
whatsoever. At only £28, 80ml can is quite affordable but the perfume feels premium.
It has all the elements to make celebrities perfumes feel inadequate (no
offence) by outshining them.
Babe Power EDP is an amalgamation of many scents –
fruity, floral, sweet, warm and sparkling. The opening notes are grapefruit
zest, sour cherry, pink pepper, crisp apple, pineapple and rhubarb. By the
sounds of all these scents one may think it to be very fruity but the addition
of vanilla and musk give it a bit of warmth. Orange blossom, jasmine and peony
make the floral heart of perfume. Candyfloss scent adds enough sweetness to the
perfume to be more joyful. I was never fond of sweet fragrances and my previous
fragrances reviews can tell that better. However the addition of crisp fruity
notes rather than sweet and musk as a settling note take the edge off and make
Babe Power more desirable.
Did you try the Babe Power? What are your thoughts? It is
available at Boots.

Wow what a unique design for a bottle! I certainly wouldn't have guessed that was a fragrance. I like the sound of vanilla notes :)
