The Fragrances

Decorte Kimono Fragrance Collection comprises five scents:

• Kimono Tsuya: Floral musk. Deep in its heart, the Japanese Magnolia is combined with Sublime Rose Essence and Peony. The perfume ends on a natural cedarwood note, followed by a fresher touch of Rose Essence and Yuzu.
• Kimono Kihin: Floral chypre. The fragrance has powdery floral notes centred around the Japanese Iris. Fruity and fresh, the following notes of Bergamot, Mandarin, Grapefruit, Lemon, and Peach bring a fun touch to the perfume. It finishes on a warmer, smooth Patchouli, Sandalwood, Musk, and Vanilla note.

• Kimono Rin: Woody floral. This scent is built around Japanese Candied Plums (Ume). Deep notes of Patchouli, vetiver and vanilla add a rich earthy note. Combined with the Jasmine for contrast, the perfume has a sensual and calm aura.
• Kimono Yui: Floral. Working around the traditional scent of the Sudachi fruit, a small, green citrus fruit. This scent has a zesty, vibrant touch to it. The perfume's heart gains a warmer, almost summer feel with Neroli, Orange Flower, and Rose.
• Lastly, Kimono Urara: Fresh floral. This fragrance takes a more intimate approach to perfume. Built around the aquatic plant, the Water Lily and combined with accents of Melon and Fuji Apple from the Aomori Prefecture.

All these fragrances are available in body lotion and hand cream ranges. Now that the scents are set aside, let's take a look at what makes these products so unique:

The Perfumed Body Lotion

Ideal for wearing under the fragrances or alone, the scented lotions leave your skin looking and smelling great. Deeply moisturizing, the skin is soft, glowing and healthy. Also, the lotions have a lightweight texture that rapidly penetrates the skin.

Perfumed Hand Cream

My Experience

It was my first shot at trying the Decorte body care range, and I have to say I am gladly surprised. The lotion and hand creams are great for those who want to prolong their perfume or have a healthy, scented glow to their skin, unlike the general perfumed creams. These products have a high concentration of skincare actives. Meaning they don't only smell good but work.

After using them for a week, my skin was incredibly smooth. With the colder seasons coming, I would 100% recommend them.

Also, I am almost finished with the Decorte Hydra Clarity Range, and the products are excellent. I enjoyed using them. Also, the newest Liquid Foggy Rouge and Liquid Dewy Rouge from the brand are my go-to.

For those unfamiliar with the brand, it is originally a Japanese skincare brand constantly pushing beauty's limits. Their makeup range is a game changer with innovative formulas and long-lasting textures. I love Rouge Decorte Lipstick, and today, I am reviewing two of my new favourites for lips:

The Liquid Dewy Rouge

Use Code VELVETLIFE20 to get 20% off

This range of lipsticks is a liquid formula. Easy to apply, the light, silky texture melts on the lip. With an incredibly high pigmented colour, it lasts hours on the go. As the name mentions, the liquid leaves a glossy finish to your lip, adding volume. Decorte enriched the range with deeply hydrating actives to keep your lips soft.

The liquid dewy rouge exists in 10 shades, ranging from Red, pink-rose, brown-beige, orange and clear tones. You can create a subtle tint or a deep, rich-coloured lip with plenty of choices.

Inside, you will find a botanical base enriched with Organic Murumuru Butter, Damask Rose Extract, Jasmine Extract, and Lemon Extract. These actives help moisturize the lips by locking in water and protecting the skin.

Review

I have multiple shades and adore each one. I love how easy it is to build a rich shade or add a gentle tint to my lips. Also, I found it easy to apply and create a sharp line with this brush. The liquid is applied using a sponged applicator stored inside the bottle.

It keeps its glossy finish for a good period and is always comfortable on the lip. It is ideal for those who want a natural, volumized lip.

The Liquid Foggy Rouge

Use Code VELVETLIFE20 to get 20% off

This range of lipsticks is very close to the first one I presented. The texture and ingredients inside are identical but have a different finish. Named the “”foggy”” range, it leaves a smooth, matte finish. Helping to protect your lips, it doesn't dry out or become uncomfortable. Available in 5 shades from red, cassis, be stylish, to dried flower. It offers a more pronounced look. In general, matte lipsticks have higher coverage, so keep that in mind if you want a natural look.

Review

I recently discovered the matte finish and have to say I like them. You can get a high coverage look with precisely the same texture and light feeling. I was pretty impressed when it came to how long it lasted. My lips looked and felt great when I put the lipstick on. It only budged when I drank or ate something.

This lipstick could save precious time for those who draw your lip line with a pencil. Enriched with moisturizing botanicals, you can combine skincare and lipstick with this product. The released shades are ideal for all skin carnations and give a sophisticated finish to your makeup.

As I enjoy skincare from the brand, I recently shared about the new Hydra Clarity Range that has been a staple in my routine. My skin is bright and beautiful.

The scientists we could call visionaries, carry with them the deeply set image of the brand for over 40 years. Internationally known for its unique textures, Decorté has released multiple skincare collections.

The Hydra Clarity Collection

This deeply moisturizing and brightening collection is a 4 product ritual. Enriched in Decorté's Bihada-to complex, which uses isomerized sugar and a whole lot of plant-based ingredients. All the products contain this powerful complex, even the cleansing emulsion. The collection deeply protects, purifies and soothes the skin. Thus, leaving you with a smooth, even bright look.

This smooth, rich milky lotion from Decorté Hydra Clarity Collection deeply moisturizes and plumps the skin for a healthy glow. When used regularly your skin is visibly softer, more flexible and glowing. I apply it after cleansing your face morning and night. I apply two pumps to the face and neck with a cotton pad.

What's inside?

Kintoki Ginger Extract: This natural antioxidant protects your skin from free radicals as well as stimulates blood circulation.

Bihada-to Complex: A blend of isomerized sugar, clove extract and Mugwort leaf extract. Together they work in harmony to smooth and refine skin. As a result, the pores are tightened.

Lastly, Moringa Oil: This superfood deeply nourishes, moisturizes and protects the skin.

Hydra Clarity Micro Essence Cleansing Emulsion

This cleansing emulsion removes makeup and dirt from the surface of the skin. Also, this cleanser helps your skin eliminate and unclog pores that can cause dull and blemished skin. I apply it to dry skin in circular movements massaging the foam and rinse with water.

Special touch:

Organic Jojoba Seed Extract Oil: This natural oil has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Helping gently but deeply purify your skin.

Hydra Clarity Treatment Essence Water

This lotion from Decorté Hydra Clarity Collection soothes any irritations as well as prevents dry, dull skin with a water-like texture. It moisturizes and nourishes deep into the skin and therefore, the skin instantly feels refreshed and comfortable. I use the lotion morning and night after the conditioning treatment softener. I apply it with a cotton pad on the face and neck.

Special touch:

Glycyrrhizic Acid Derivative (from liquorice root extract): A strong anti-inflammatory that helps calm as well as soothe skin. Liquorice extract is known to help with even skin tone.

Hydra Clarity Restorative Concentrate Cream

The last step in the hydra clarity collection is this moisturizing day and night cream. It restores and protects your skin from external aggressions such as pollution. In addition, it is highly concentrated with the complex and therefore, it brightens and perfects your skin. Apply a pea-sized amount to the face day and night, and smooth out with your fingers.

Special touch:

Organic Shea Butter: Protects and moisturizes your skin without leaving a greasy layer.

I love using the Hydra Clarity range along with the newly launched body care collection from Decorte. Everything is just so decadent and makes the whole experience of skincare and body care so relaxing and refreshing at the same time.
