Yesterday I posted about Christmas. A wrong message to the world.
From the water reservoar the river moves slowly like a smile-wrinkle, but the altitude variations make the waterfalls down to the fjord very spectacular.
In the "new" city at Nydalen (previously Christiania Spigerverk) artificial waterfalls are constructed for strenghtening the combination of modern buildings and traditional waterways.
Further down the beauty of Lower Voyen Fall at Graah´s Spinning Factory and HønseLovisas House, had to be part of this blogpost.
Turning west and away from the beauty along the riverside we pass Damstredet at Fredensborg on our way back home.
The monumental building of Deichman Library (Norway´s lagest public library at Hammersborg makes the photo report from our Sunday walk complete. The Library will move to Bjørvika close to Oslo Opera House within a few years.

THE VERDICT:
Lola’s whimsical flower design has got to be one of the sexiest and cutest perfume packaging I’ve ever encountered. It’s speaks of a woman’s sexy, flirty, and sultry side.
It also comes with a ball chain which you can use to hang this on your bag as a keychain if ever the ring is becoming a bit of a burden on your fingers. Quite frankly, this ring is heavy. If not for its cuteness and uniqueness, I wouldn’t be wearing this around my finger.
This gold- plated ring has a twist cover which reveals the white solid perfume inside.
With a few blog hopping and reading, I’ve found out that some regard Lola as the older sister of Daisy, one of Marc Jacob’s earlier perfume release. Daisy is described as a dainty, feminine, and light scent, while Lola is the mature, provocative, and to an extent, a dark scent. But even if I didn’t know that Daisy and Lola are siblings, I’d still probably think that Lola is a mature scent. But fear not when I say mature, because the allure of Lola is to be appreciated by women from 20- 70 years old. The scent is able to balance warmth and lightness. It’s a perfume that’s in between ages.
At first whiff, you can smell the vanilla and floral accords, which can be a bit strong to some. But it’s tolerable for me. Then more florals are introduced in the middle notes, and it dries down to a floral musky scent, with a hint of vanilla. It smells warm, sexy, and provocative. It’s great for night time wear, but might be a bit too much if worn during daytime.
Well, at least the dainty ring never fails to receive compliments from my friends, and even from strangers. And they appreciate it more if I tell them that it’s actually a ring with perfume. According to them, it’s a unique find.
If you’re after the accessory, then I would recommend that you buy this thing. I swear, it’s really pretty in actual. But if you’d rather have the perfume, then go for the bottled version.
