Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet Story and Review

last time, I was given a chance to get invited of the perfume testing Held at the Roponggi hills of the famous perfume shop in japan, but because I already choosed my own perfume to use, I decided not to attend for it.

my new apple of the eyes are -Miss Dior blooming Bouquet.(beauticool.com)

 Just spotted this perfume during my stop over to Thailand for an hours transit on vacation to Philippines last 2011.  from the magazine on my lap in the plane.  I was first captured by its elegant bottle and cap since I don't even try or smell it yet. going back after my vacation, I try to look this perfume to any store, when I'm on shopping or passing by some stores after work.

 I have been serious to find this perfume and expect to see if its appearance and amounts are also matched on what's inside of it. I found it in a store located in Tokyo,Ginza, and yes, what I expect is what I get, this perfume smell is great and I can say every woman wanted to have a smell like this(floral smell to the sweeter candy-like perfumes).

the cap has a design of glass ribbon with pink and gold combination color and the bottle is so much elegant more than what I saw in the magazine of japan airlines last time!

so, I don't hesitate to buy even if the amount of this perfume is thinkable first before buying, I bought it for 12,000 in yen and 140 in US dollars.why is so expensive? because I buy with a package set of travel refill spray.

and one of the reason why I did not hesitate to buy this perfume because of that.  a package set of another elegant small spare travel bottle attached on it.  the use of this travel bottle is you can put perfume in this travel bottle and you can bring it any where you go with not much heavier than carrying the main bottle.

What are the Bad Luck Age in Japanese Culture

like Chinese People Beliefs, Japanese cultured had a bad and good belief also, when they are reaching the age of bad luck numbers you will see them doing some things like approaching temple,having an offering,praying on a fall and climbing on a mountain.(earthincolors.com) 
 maybe some of you not aware of this beliefs neither i too, what are the Japanese men and women bad luck ages? Japanese had a three reference for being an unlucky age for men, in one place, the most danger ages for men are 41,42 and 61. 

how about women? i know you're wondering, some Japanese friends said are 19,26,32 and 33.and for children are 3,9 and 13 is considered unlucky as we known for an unlucky date also, some Japanese i know also told me that equal 88 is the total unluckiest ages of men. don't know yet whats the meaning of that, but now i get to understand quite about their beliefs. why Japanese keep on believing this misfortune age belief as of now? 

 -Basic reason- 

 that is all because of their language meaning. in japan language the no. 4 was "shi", 2 was "ni" so! 4= shi + 2=ni = shi-ni if you joined it,could "SHINI" and in Japanese word 'shini' means "Death" I'm Amazed with their simple and rare basing, you will notice that Japanese are  dedicated on numbers. 

Japanese numbers and its meaning in Japanese language: 42= death 9= suffering 33=trouble and disaster 

-Trivia-

did you know that Japanese hospital never use or do not make room no. 4 and 9, if you ride on the elevator in japan you will notice that some numbers are missing.


Bad luck age are known "Yakudoshi" in Japanese language, and all Japanese people who reached the boundaries of the age above are most people who approaching temples and get offering to get away with this course and off misfortune.
