My Current Perfume Addictions

I've never been one for expensive perfumes before I didn't really seeing the point of wasting money on such a small bottle purely for the name.

However as of late I appear to be acquiring an expensive taste on things from make up to perfume. I'd find that the cheaper perfumes I would be buying just wouldn't last the day meaning I'd have to use them over and over meaning they would run out far quicker than a perfume with staying power.

I thought I would share with you some of my favourite fragrances of the moment:

This perfume has a very hefty price tag costing £50 for 30ml but the fragrance is so sweet and one spray lasts all day. I am a sucker for sweet perfumes especially anything that includes notes of caramel. The bottle is also super cute and unique coming in the shape of a pink bow. Definitely one I would use more on special occasions purely because of the price.

Bon Bon - Viktor & Rolf

Fragrance Notes

Top Notes: Mandarin, Orange, Peach

Heart Notes: Caramel, Jasmine, Orange blossom

Base Notes: Cedarwood, Guaiac wood, Sandalwood, Amber

I first smelt this at Heathrow airport while passing through customs. It is a very sweet and refreshing scent perfect for the summer. This currently retails for £37 but I got it for £30 in the sale. I loved all of the scents in this collection but this was definitely the one that stood out the most and they all did remind me of ice cream flavours as they were so sweet.

 DKNY Delicious Delights - Dreamsicle

Frangrance Type

Fruity/Citrus

Victoria's Secret may be known more for its underwear but what I love most about it is there perfume collection! All of their fragrances smell sweet and girly which is just what I look for in a perfume. While browsing this was the one that stood out to me probably because of the notes of Paradise Apple. Their perfumes are rather expensive but the sell each fragrance in the form of a body mist which is marginally cheaper than the perfume. These smell just as nice and have a very good staying power.

 Eau So Sexy - Victoria's Secret
Fragrance type: Fresh gourmand
Notes: Bergamot, paradise apple and Chantilly cream

I got this in the form of a sample from Debenhams it's not a perfume I would usually opt for but there is something about this that you can't ignore when you're wearing it. Maybe it's the Raspberry and orange mix? Either way I am going to save my pennies to purchase a full size version I have only used the sample once and I loved it instantly!

Lady Million - Paco Rabanne

Fragrance notes:

Top Note Neroli Bitter orange Raspberry

Heart Note Orange flower Jasmine Sambac

Base Note PatchouliHone

Needless to say that at the moment I will not need to be buying anymore perfume for a while!

Thanks for reading!

Ring My Bella Perfume Review

Hi readers,

This is going to be the first of many reviews!
In the week I was going round the Benefit counter when I came across their 'Crescent Row' fragrance range. I'm rather picky about perfumes but in this range there seems to be a scent to suit everyone. At only £29.50 a bottle it is rather cheap for a fragrance.

I got the Ring My Bella fragrance.
The whole range comes in these cute kitschy boxes each with different stylings.
The box describes the perfume as:

'She flutters and flounces lace, satin and more. Her spirit so sexy Bella's shop you'll adore. Slip sweetly into a lush, juicy fling for a frill-seeking time "go on and ring". "

As for the smell of the fragrance itself:

Top notes: pink rose petals, soft lily, summer daisy

Middle notes: Egyptian jasmine, creamy peony

Bottom notes: white patchouli, vanilla tincture, white musk

I absolutely love this fragrance!! Its so sweet, not overpowering and lasts all day!

My only negative would be the size of the bottle, it's only 30ml so if you happened to use it every day it would run out quickly.

But that is the only negative I can think of!

Other than that I think this would be a great gift either to yourself or to friends or family. I can't wait to try out the different ones in the range!
