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!

Update Time

Hey all,

Sorry its been so long!! I have seriously been lacking on the blog front recently.

I'd say it's because I have been busy which I have but at the same time I have also been incredibly lazy!
A lot has been going on in the last week I had my birthday now 22 (getting old!), a mini break which involved me getting lost and having a scenic drive through Leek and even a few nights out.

This for me is busy as my weekends normally consist of watching TV series back to back.

I had a lovely day on my birthday went to Birmingham haven't been shopping there in ages!!! Spent rather a lot ended up with a lovely body mist from Victoria's Secret it's called Eau So Sexy! and it smells amazing!! I'm using it as a perfume and it lasts for agessss!

Went to Derbyshire for the mini break which mainly consisted of me sitting in reading but I knocked a couple of books off my Reading list. These were:

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green - Not my favourite of his books but I still enjoyed it had all the same wit and charm that his novels usually have.

The Selection by Kiera Cass - I really enjoyed this book it was girly but not over the top lovey dovey and again had a lot of charm. The main characters were all likeable and I practically read it in a day.

 

Finally I began reading Shopaholic to the Stars by Sophie Kinsella - I already know I am going to like this book I own every book Sophie Kinsella has written and they are all just as funny as the last.

So here is my long overdue update. I also see my blog has been getting loads of views from Russia I find it amazing and appreciate it so much that so many people from all over the world are reading my random rambling posts. I promise to start posting more again.

Bye for now :)
