Perfume Love

Happy Humpday everyone!

I'm always on the hunt for new perfumes so thought I would share my favourites.

Here are my favourite 6 perfumes at the moment (clockwise from top left)

1. Vera Wang Princess. This is the fragrance I wear most both in the day and the evening. First of all I love the bottle but I love the smell too. Princess is a subtle feminine scent which is perfect for day to day wear.

2. Britney Spears Radiance. Suprisingly great! It's a fruity and light perfume which is not as heavy as some of her other fragrances. Nice everyday perfume and comes in a nice bottle too.

3. Georgio Armani Diamonds. This is one of my favourite smells. I have been using this for ages and got another bottle for my birthday. This perfume is a really sweet scent which I know not everyone likes but it's a nice break from my everyday perfumes.

4. Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb. This is a gorgeous perfume which smells luxurious and makes me feel nice when I wear it. This is my treat perfume which I wear on special occassions or feel like treating myself. It's a lovely sweet & floral scent. Yum.

5. Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche. This is the fragrance I wear most other days. It's a fresh scent with a hint of citrus. It's not a sweet as the other perfumes so it's a great staple. A few sprays before I walk out the door perks me up and makes me feel divine.

6. Harijuku Lovers Baby. This perfume is a really soft, clean, fresh scent. For starters the bottle is adorable but the perfume is great everyday scent which isn't over the top and it's really reasonable value. 

What are your favourite perfumes? I could always do with more perfumes and would love any recommendations :)

I need this!

I can't get enough of Viktor and Rolf' flowerbomb (it's amazing) especially this 2010 limited holiday edition that come complete with a tutu.  Too cute.

Okay it might be a bit kitsch but it's all part of the holiday spirit right?!

LOVE it. Will definitely be dropping hints to some loved ones a bit closer to Christmas.

Is there anything you already have your eye on for chrissy? (I know its' ages away but the Christmas decorations are out already!)

The Second Story

Benefit's Crescent Row second story trio that is. They are the 3 very cute new additions to Benefit's perfume range. The fragrances came out last week and I was lucky enough to get my hands on one at the blogger event a few weeks ago and have been using it ever since.

The 3 new additions are; 
  

Garden of Good & Eva

Lookin' to Rock Rita

So Hooked on Carmella

In usual benefit style they come in very cute packaging each with their own quirky little box. They had the perfumes set up at the blogger event in a cute little stand which was very charming as you can see below.

Blogging about perfume is a funny sort of thing which is actually really hard and I am hopeless at describing scents but will do the best I can! Its top notes are rhubarb, lemon and grapefruit with cyclamen, peony and tiare flower middle notes and vanilla, sandalwood and amber bottom notes. So it's a florally vanillery smell which is sweet but balanced out nicely so it's not over the top. 

The thing that caught my attention (or should i say nose) about Carmella was the fact that it had rhubarb in it. I love rhubarb and love the idea. The scent is really quite unusual and unlike anything i have smelt before. A friend said it reminded her of creaming soda and I can totally see what she means.

I think this scent is unusual and quite different from other perfumes. I can imagine that it would not be for everyone. I'm not sure if I would buy this perfume again but I am liking it at the moment and will be checking out the others, particularly Lookin' to Rock Rita. I think Carmella needs a next door neighbour!

Obviously you're not going to race out and buy one based on my lousy description but I would recommend you go take a sniff, if nothing else you get to have a peek at the cute display and packaging!
