My Perfume Collection





Today’s post is one I have been looking forward to writing since I took the photos a couple of weeks ago. This is a post about my perfume collection and although it is only a small collection, I fear that if I allow it to grow anymore my life will be taken over by pretty bottles of perfume on every surface!

My favourite perfume of the bunch has to be Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy Noir! I first received a sample of this in a Glossybox and fell in love straight away but at the time the price tag put me off purchasing it, however in a moment of weakness last September I marched into the Fragrance Shop in Milton Keynes and bought the biggest bottle available. However, since I used it every single day the bottle ran out in about 6/7 weeks so I was without it until I purchased a new bottle just last week. This time I am going to be using it a little more sparingly so it lasts a little longer!

My second favourite is Dot by Marc Jacobs. I received my first small bottle of this for Christmas in 2013 but I didn’t open it and use it until last summer. I fell in love with the bottle and didn’t want to have to throw it away if I used it all so I rarely used this, but when I did I loved it! However, since then the small bottle ran out and I was very lucky to receive a large bottle for Christmas 2014 off my boyfriend! I can’t wait until I have a proper dressing table so I can display the pretty bottles, at the minute they are all stored in their boxes so they don’t get damaged.

Next up with have my least used perfume, Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs. My mum bought this for me for Christmas 2014 and it is only a small bottle so I don’t want to use it all up too quickly. I was so surprised to open this on Christmas day as I have never mentioned wanting it to my mum but I suppose she knows me better than I thought! I love the design of the bottle and I do like the smell although it is not my favourite of the bunch, I will still use it!

Last of all is the first ‘expensive’ perfume I ever bought myself! I bought it as a treat for my birthday in 2013 and it is Vivienne Westwood Flirty Alice. I do love this perfume, it smells gorgeous and lasts well but it has taken a back seat in my perfume drawer since Juicy Couture and Marc Jacobs entered my life. I don’t think I will use this bottle up for a very long time but it is nice to have it there if I ever fancy a change!


I was going to post about what each perfume smells like but as I was writing I discovered I am useless at describing scents so it is better that I not try in case I get it terribly wrong! I just love the look of all of these bottles and I’m sure I will buy so many more when I have my own space! Let me know which is your favourite in the comments section below, also give me recommendations for my next perfume purchase!

    1. I agree! I don't think I could bring myself to throw them away.

  3. I used to be a perfume collector (ok, ok, hoarder) and I can't wait to restart my collection. I haven't had any of the perfumes you have, but they all sound delish! Have smelt all of them, but Flirty Alice, but it sounds divine. Would love to see your collection grow. x

    1. You should defintely check out Flirty Alice! I bought mine from Fragrance Direct and it was much cheaper than anywhere else i'd seen it. I do love it, it's just been pushed to the back at the minute! x
