I hope you are ready for another load of cuteness! :D Today I present to you the most adorable solid perfume ring in the shape of none other than our beloved character Hello Kitty!
Released as part of the 40th Anniversary celebration, this limited edition cocktail ring houses a solid perfume of the brand's best-selling scent. It is a super sweet (in a pleasant way) non-overpowering, and quite addicting scent with notes of cassis sorbet, Italian mandarin, green apple, magnolia blossom, fressia, orange flower, tonka bean, vanilla, and musk. It is actually a very fun and flirty scent that I really think anyone — regardless of age — will appreciate! To give you an idea of how much I love the scent: I actually take a pause from writing this post every 5 seconds to sniff it! :D
The perfume is housed in a Hello Kitty's face-shaped ring with ruby crystals encrusted on the bow. To use, simply slide the face to the left to reveal the perfume and use your finger to extract the scent and rub it anywhere on your body where you usually put on your perfume such as behind the ears, on your chest, wrists, or neck. The face slides back down with a strong magnetic force to close. Very simple and very practical!
The not-so-practical part, though, is the fact that this baby weighs a whopping 1.32 oz (37.4 g)! Not exactly lightweight here. Plus, the ring only comes in one non-adjustable size (I believe it's a size 7) with a diameter of 1.7 cm which even on my thumb is still loose and will fall off if I try to wear it. I suppose one can wear it as a pendant around the neck but the weight might give you a slight case of neck ache!
The scent lasts for a good 4-5 hours on me, quite impressive actually. While I might not be able to wear it on my finger, I've been keeping it in my makeup bag for work everyday. It comes in handy when I need a quick boost of the lovely scent or when I simply need to de-stress! The ring is not available for purchase online on Sephora.com anymore but you can still buy it from a physical store (and now at a reduced price!). I strongly encourage you take a sniff when you get a chance! :)
Do you wear solid perfume? What formula do you prefer? Oil, spray, roll on, or solid?
Disclosure: The Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary Ruby Solid Perfume Cocktail Ring was provided by Sephora. All opinions are my own.
Haha man I would have killed for this when I was little ;) Glad to hear you enjoy the scent so much! I pretty much stick to sprays, but I’ve tried this perfumed oil from Byredo that I really like!
Do you find the oil formula lasts longer than spray in general?
Oh my gosh HOW CUTE!!! And so pretty!!! Even though I’m a bit older now and have grown out of Hello Kitty (maybe), I would totally love this still. Eek.
Haha wait until you smell the yummy scent!!!! ;D
I have a love hate relationship with Solid Perfume. I have one and it’s enough for me. Pacifica Tibetan Mountain Temple!
LOL. What don’t you like about that one, Erin? :D
This sounds like it has a really nice scent! A little fruity, vanilla, musky, and I love freesia too! I like the idea it’s a little solid perfume in a ring! I would totally wear it! Okay Jaa…….fork over the Kitty and no one gets hurt!!! LOL LOL LOL :D ;D
LOL! Hereeeee take it don’t hurt meeeee!
To answer your question, I like oils the best. I like solids also and roll ons, just because they are easier to use, then sprays last. I always like something small I can carry with me. :)
How do you find the longevity of the oil formula in general? I have heard it doesn’t last very long. :-/
If this came in smaller sizes, I’d get 2 – one for each of my daughters. They’d go crazy!
Haha yeah… these would be too big (and heavy) for them! :)
That packaging looks super cute and I’m glad you like d fragrance too
The scent is very nice and quite addicting, Krithi! ^_^
The packaging is so cute!
Right? When I first opened it, I was all “awwww sooo cute”! Haha. ^_^”
LOL! A Hello Kitty knuckleduster! Think about it – if you’re an adventurer with big enough fingers, perhaps in a rogue or monk class, you could be leaving a beautifully scented trail of unconscious orcs with the face of Hello Kitty stamped into their foreheads…
Haha if only it fit on my finger! >.<
I’m a Hello Kitty collector (hoarder). This ring is so pretty. I love that the scent is lovely too.
Then this piece is a must-have for you! :)
