Perfume Collection

Hi Pretties,

A women who doesn't wear perfume, has no future.

~  Coco Chanel  ~

If you've read my About Me section here  you should know that I'm quite the collector of perfumes, and although I love wearing a different one most days, there is a common smell throughout them all, and it's usually vanilla based and sweet smelling.  I'll only be describing my favourite perfumes and will try my best to give you the best and most accurate description.



There is one thing that always makes me notice a women, and that is her perfume.  Have you ever walked somewhere and you get that fantastic whiff of a fragrance, it actually makes you look twice at the women doesn't it, so what better way to get noticed?

My husband actually shares a portion of my perfume tray ;)

Favourites:

 

Roberto Cavalli

 

I adore Mr Cavalli's designs and the sleek but sexy perfume bottle is no exception, and although I've not been fortunate enough to own one of his amazing dresses, at least I feel a tiny bit celebrity-like wearing this.

 

A pungent smell of fruity sweetness with just the slightest hint of musk, a vivid picture of eating fruit salad on a Summer's morning with a slight breeze wafting the scent of fresh bloomed flowers comes to mind.

 

Dior Hypnotic Poison

 

There is a really good reason why this is the favourite amongst many women, myself included,, they could not have chosen a better word for this fragrance because the smell is indeed hypnotic.

 

An immediate hit of vanilla and musk with just a few spritzes will keep you smelling as beautiful as you are the whole day.  It's such a delicate yet strong fragrance, the smells balanced just perfectly, and will make you reach for a whiff constantly.

 

  Dolce & Gabbana The One

 

One of my favourite bottles, I like a perfume that is sleek and stylish, when it comes to perfume packaging the less fuss the better. 

 

A fresh bouquet of floral sweetness hits your nose at first, but settles into a wonderfully vanilla and amber fragrance.  It smells sexy and now I know why they've chosen Brazilian bombshell Gisele Bunchen as their spokeswomen for this perfume.

 

Gucci by Gucci

 

Another sleek bottle of this iconic brand.  This perfume has a slight similarity to the Roberto Cavalli fragrance, and it might be the pungent fruity sweetness that hits you first.  But this settles into a very delicate and wearable fragrance.

 

Harajuku Lovers G

 

How totally cute is the packaging?  Designed by Gwen Stefani this pretty little thing was discovered in the sales section of a local drug store, and I was absolutely delighted to have found such a gem.

 

This fragrance is packed with an overwhelming smell of coconuts, and reminds me of lazy days on the beach with a cocktail in hand, feeling the sun on my body and finding slight relief from the breeze on my skin.  It's basically holiday in a bottle.

 

Pink Sugar

 

Candy and sweets in a bottle, there is no better way for me to describe this scent as being in a candy shop, with smells of candyfloss, cupcakes and other delicious sweet treats wafting your way.  It's a very strong fragrance initially, but once settled into your sweet, leaves you with just the slightest scent of deliciousness.

 

Escada Magnetism

 

This has been a firm favourite for years, and although only available at selected stores I will do whatever I can to keep this in my collection. 

 

A beautiful black current, vanilla and musk blend, not too sweet but beautifully balanced with just the right amount of aromas to keep you wanting more.  A little goes a long way, and it indeed settles into a magnetic fragrance on your skin.
