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!
