One Direction's Between Us Fragrance: What's Inside and Outside the Box.

So ho ho, this all went so fast huh? Loads of us haven't even had Our Moment and then BOOM! Fourth fragrance! And not forgetting that there will be an album released in a few months and also a tour coming along with it. Seriously, can't the boys give a mercy to our poor wallets?

I want to cry because this is too accurate.
But what makes us scream mostly is not the fragrance itself. It's the COMMERCIAL. Let's be honest, when there's a new fragrance coming out, the first thing shows up in our heads is the commercial, and then the bottle, then the photoshoot, then it all comes down to wondering how on earth can we buy it or who would we sell for it.


This year, Between Us commercial was absolutely amazing. It’s cool, dramatic, normally dumb, and made us emotional in some type of way. And the boys looked absolutely stunning. Even in those weird costumes (apart from Young Niall, obviously). If we compare this commercial with their other commercials like the three other fragrances, they have a lot of things in common, the difference is placed in the plot: that smelling things while showing off their obvious pretty faces, a weird photoshoot with a crazy French photographer, or an encouragement for us to break into a vault. And now, that exploring the world to make a perfume thing. Let’s just get on to reviewing, shall we?

The second the commercial starts, there were huge snowing legs stomping into a building. I have to be honest, even at that point, I already thought "what the hell?" But then there was this huge familiar hand pulling on the headress and then the glorious almighty face of Harriet Styles popped out, dressed in all-brown hiking costume that matches his hair and skin tone perfectly, even his emerald eyes turned to be some shades of brown, Miracle of Styles, just everything needed to make us scream and punch the wall, and maybe murder someone.

All in good consistency.
And also that dramatic hiking scene where he hiked the highest mountain to get a flower, imagine what would he do for a girl he loves? (*clears throat**points at myself*).

So pretty. Not only the flower.
Don't forget the fact that he hikes without any gloves on and let his huge amazing hands on show and ignoring all of those fake snow. Who needs gloves when you know you're hot enough to make North Pole boils?
Admit it, you can hear his scream.
Then we're welcomed by a pair of frog legs. Sliding up (not stopping at any particular part), we have our own Lima Bean in diving suit. A really nice red diving suit.
That middle one is our face when we realize that we can't afford Between Us.
 But never forgetting that this is the biggest boyband in the world, and it's not it when everything is so serious. So why not be adorably silly a la Liam Payne?

Anyway, still hoping that he was dressed like this
 or better, THIS.

I just changed my mind, it's such a fortune that he didn't or else, we'd belong in our graves. And the poor Lima Bean would be accused for mass murder.

Ooh, the diving scene! We can't even recognize if it is Liam or nah, but we can believe it by the aura of Payne-ness through that diving mask. And that the diving suit is red just like his mic of pride and joy.
And never missed the Liam Payne's commercial face. All those frowns and oh-so-strong lips games.
Let's leave Liam from the ocean and look up to a shooting star from the space... well, more less.
 At this scene you can hear the music changing into something that is more strong, it's like not even the makers are brave enough to not give him a really cool welcome. Guess it's time to see the villain behind the mask, huh?
No one can mistakenly recognize that trying-to-be-innocent-but-I-know-I-slay gaze that directly sending our own gaze to the ground because we just ain't worth it and force us to bow down and kiss his blessed toes. Well, hoping we can do that someday in the future.

Wait, something's wrong, hold on a minute....

Gah! Doppelganger! Boo from Monster Inc. Vs Boo Bear from Doncastah,
Whoa! Let's get back into track. So Tomsters stepped in like a freaking astronaut and we just loving the way his quiffed hair pressed down adorably by the helmet. He was bringing an apricot and let's be honest that we were thinking either, "is there any space apricot tho?" or "Louis, you're a special child." or "Nah, he's Louis, tell him that he's wrong but he does what he pleases.... way too many people in the Addison Lee *continues singing Midnight Memories*"
Is it just such a beautiful gift to see that amazingly sculptured nose sniffing that one lucky apricot? We might as well tweet "applied to be an apricot,hope it all wrks out" seriously, we've applied for too many things and none ever worked out. Life is amazing and COMPLETELY care about me *rolls eyes*

And I really think Tomsters should tell us where can he get flying apricot in a supermarket that is CLEARLY at the outer space. It's a great opportunity to find a magic fruit and Louis Tomlinson, we hope for the second one more obviously.

Afterwards, after three lads in costumes, Young Niall stepped in casually in white shirt and black jacket, just a normal Irish boy. And at this point we find out that all of this commercial is just a part of the infamous #OhNoNiall game that has been going since the band started, apparently.
Plus, the way he greets to the other lads, "Hello boiiisss" Gah! Adorable. And now you're probably wondering what is the next ingredient for an exquisite fragrance a la Mr. Niall Horan Sir but we just have this undeniable feeling that the last ingredient would be a bit out of mind, predicting from the oh-so-normal and oh-so-gorgeous Niall's appearance. And this is his ingredient...
Told ya, Directioner's feeling ain't never wrong.
  And this is basically our reaction.
Onion. Okay, from now on if I can't afford Between Us, I'll rub onion all over my body. Niall, I'll blame you if my friends never notice me again and my life ended up in the middle of jungle.

Ah, don't forget a snippet of sass by Mr. Tomlinson that basically get us up from our seat and applause and maybe bow down to our knees.
Let's have another toast to Louis almighty.

But what comes next directly messes up with our emotions. And we just realized that the last ingredient isn't a blessed onion and is more important than anything in this world you'd kill half of your city for it. And you also realize that it'd be harder to get it than an onion from supermarket which makes you utterly desperate.
A GOD'S TEAR. Darn it, Niall, you just bring everything to a whole new level! How can we even afford Niall's single tear? The blessed tear of an Irish God. This got us everything to cry over: EYES. They're pure blue and you can see heaven beneath them, you can see all of your happiness and dreams flashing in them. It's no wonder that his tear is so pure and absurdly gorgeous, it's just a freaking tiny drop of water, a really, really beautiful tiny drop of water.

And when you see this part, I only have one question:
I can't even answer that. What is it called when you scream, sob, gag, suffocate, and punch the wall at the same time?

Off with the commercial, the beautiful oh-so-emotional commercial, let's talk about the fragrance overall. We can conclude that the ingredients of this perfume are;
The last one is the main idea now, isn't it? Now we can predict that it would smell something sweet and fresh just like Our Moment aka the only One Direction fragrance I own. With addition of some feels because it's Niall's tear.

The bottle. The design is so pretty and elegant. The color of the fragrance itself is good too, an elegant pale pink, a masculine pink. Maybe that's what they're heading about, a masculine pink, because that just sounds like them.
We're just loving the hanging One Direction tag. What I never get is that why puberty hits One Direction perfume bottles better than me?

The Photoshoot. Every fragrance has a different but equally amazing shoot of the beloved lads of One Direction. The Our Moment casual and free-style photoshoot, That Moment photoshoot with their coats collars up, the formal free-style photoshoot of You and I (where basically Liam killed us with suit and tie), and the lazy T-shirts photoshoot of Between us. Yes, from coat, suit and tie, to one-colored T-shirts. But, hey, it's One Direction, even shirtless they look good... wait, ESPECIALLY shirtless. Well, that can be a good suggestion for the next fragrance shoot.

Mr. Harold Styles and his glorious hair
Mr. Liam 'the Lima Bean' Payno and black long sleeves

Mr. Irish Horan in white, matching his bright eyes, hair and skin.

And Mr. Louis Tomlinson Sir in grey with his awesome jaw line
Okay so that's all I can conclude about One Direction's new fragrance, Between Us in appearance and promo. But there's still more of what's underneath it, why is it named Between Us, and every secret codes behind the commercial. So, read the next article to find out!

Adios awesome people! All the love, S xx
