Mía Mariú mm Collection Fragrance Review and Giveaway! 2/1

Disclosure: I got this product as part of an advertorial.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am pretty much obsessed with "smell good stuff." (That's what my husband calls it, at least.) I have tons of body lotions, body sprays, and perfumes that can pretty much guarantee that I always smell delicious. In fact, my beauty and fragrance stock-pile kind of took over the entire bathroom and all of it's storage space. Hmm,  I wonder if there is a 12 step program for fragrance junkies? 

So recently, when I got the opportunity to check out the fragrances from Mía Mariú, I was pretty excited. I have long been a fan of their make-up, so I just knew that their fragrances had to be amazing, too. 

Mía Mariú offers 3 different scents. Here is a detailed description of all 3:

mm caoba EDT 1.7 oz for Men
“sophisticated, passionate, romantic....real sexy confidence”

This rugged, refreshing, strong and sensual fragrance has top notes of citron tonic, violet leaf, dew grass; middle notes are red saffron, crushed nutmeg and fresh vetiver; base notes are creamy sandalwood, vanilla absolute and vintage suede. Caoba’s modern smooth scent creates mystery and sexy confidence.

mm magia EDT 1.7 oz for Women
“enchanting, flirty, sensual...deliciously unforgettable” 

This deliciously flirtatious fragrance invigorates the senses, creates a mood and sets the scene for unforgettable fun, romance and pleasure. With a medley of juicy strawberry, mandarin, peach and pear that play sweetly atop dewy blooms of jasmine, plum, magnolia and flirty frangipani; makes the perfect playmate and ideal soul mate for smooth and sensual base notes of rich vanilla, musk, tonka bean and warm and enchanting golden amber.

mm acqua EDT 1.7 oz for Men
“rebellious, irresistible, seductive...pure masculinity” 

This clean, cool and refreshing fragrance offers a sophisticated scent with its unique blend of exotic ingredients. Acqua leaves skin aromatically scented with top notes of sliced ginger, star ruby grapefruit and white pepper, middle notes of warm nutmeg, Egyptian jasmine and skin musk while balancing perfectly with bottom notes of Texas white cedar, Haitian vetiver and Bois de Encens. Acqua embodies the essence of masculinity.

My Review of mm Magia for Women :

After much deliberation, I decided to try the mm magia for women.  Okay, who are we kidding? My guys didn't even have a shot at trying the men's fragrances after I read the description of their signature women's scent. I am a huge fan of sweet, fruity scents, and mm magia certainly doesn't disappoint with notes of strawberry, mandarin, peaches and pears. 

Of course there is such thing as too much fruit, so the folks at Mía Mariú have toned down the fruitiness of this scent by adding floral notes as well as musk and a rich vanilla. 

The result? A fragrance that is fun, flirty, and feminine without being over-the-top. This is bright enough to please teens and younger women, but sophisticated enough for women in their 30's, 40's, and beyond. It's really a beautiful balance. 

The only downfall I have noticed is that this scent is VERY strong when first applied. It takes about 10 minutes before the scent becomes muted enough to leave the house without offending those that might be sensitive to fragrances. So definitely give this scent a few minutes to "settle", or even spray it into the air and "walk into it" for a more toned-down effect. 

Overall, I really like mm magia by Mía Mariú. It is a very youthful, vibrant scent, and unlike any other fragrances I have tried. This would make a fabulous Valentine's Day gift for that someone special!
