My Favourite Perfumes......................At the Minute!
I am not a gal who adores a million different perfumes but
when I do like one I generally love it. My taste in perfume falls into two
categories. I title these categories flowerily fresh and rich night time. In
this post I will share with you my favourite perfumes at the minute. Before I
begin I just want to state that I am not the best, am probably not even that
good, at describing smells or scents. Anyway here is my attempt. (“,)
v English Pear & Freesia by Jo Malone
Falling into my flowerily category I love this perfume. Gifted
to me originally by my sister I have repurchased it again and again. It is a
really fresh smell that is rich yet delicate. For me it smells of a mixture of
flowers and a little bit of spice. The smell lingers all day and is no way
heavy. A little expensive but worth every penny! It is defiantly one of those
perfumes that blend with the person who is wearing it natural scent so maybe
sample before you buy as I find it smells differently on every one who wears
it.
v ELLE by
YSL
Have you ever been out and about and smelt a perfume and
simply had to find out that that smell was? Well this happened to me and this
is how I was introduced to Elle by YSL. I love it! This perfume actually falls
in to both my categories and can be worn day and night. It smells of flowers, spice,
a little citrus and maybe a little woody also. It is a really classic smelling
perfume and what I call a “rich/expensive” smelling perfume.
v Guilty by
Gucci
My traditional night time perfume this is a fabulous glam
scent. It has a musk hint to it and really can be worn day or night. For me
this perfume has a sensual and sophisticated oriental scent that once you spray is nice
and rich but it settles down to be a delicate aroma that stays with all day. I
love it and always feel “dollied” up when I wear it.
v Daisy by Marc Jacobs
Back
to my flowerily perfumes. This is one of my staple perfumes that no matter what
mood I am, where I am going, what I am wearing or what season we are in I can
go to this perfume put it on and feel great. It is such a fresh summery smell.
It is fresh, light and really dewy. The flowers that are included are gardenia,
violet, jasmine and they mix really well. I love the bottle but the only
problem I find is that the bottle is difficult to carry around in your handbag.
This is one of my favourite perfumes and will continue to be.
v Lady Million Perfume by Paco Rabanne
A
rich, luxury perfume that I believe you either love it or hate it. My boyfriend
has the male version and it is just as nice. It is a strong scent but it
settles nicely and is long wearing. Hints of fruit, a tiny bit musky and warmth
that really does leave you smelling great. The packaging is also very cute; it
is simply a big gold diamond.
v Addict 2 by Dior
If I
had to choose one perfume that could be described as summer in a bottle it
would be this perfume. I simply love it. I was wearing this perfume the night I
met my boyfriend and he always remembers it which I think just adds to its
magic! It is a fresh, flowerily, fruity, and light scent that just really
delicate yet always draws attention. I wear it all the time. The only little
downside with this perfume is that it does not last very long on the skin
therefore must be reapplied often which means you go through it really fast.
Despite this I have repurchased it many times and will continue to do so. I
call it my happy perfume.
v Black Orchid by Tom
Ford.
This
is the newest perfume to my collection. Again a gift from my sister (she loves
perfume so is always the best to get the “smelly gifts” from. If I am being
honest my mind has not been fully made up about this perfume. First off it is
very strong so the phrase “a little goes a long way” defiantly comes to mind as
it is very strong when you first spray. It is a feminine smell that is rich.
Again a musky hew to it, there is flower presence. This is one perfume that
really commands attention and I am always asked what I am wearing when I am
wearing it. I do like it; I am just not sure how much I like it just yet.
Hope
