My Perfume Collection

Hello there lovelies. I thought I'd share with you my perfume collection today and let you know what my favourite perfumes are.

So without further ado lets jump into it!

Perfumes from L-R: CK/In 2 U, Taylor Swift/Wonderstruck, Stella McCartney/Stella,
Elie Saab/Le Parfum, Marc Jacobs/Daisy, Juicy Couture/Peace, Love & Juicy,
Britney Spears/Fantasy, Vera Wang/Lovestruck, Christian Lacroix/C'est La Fete.

In total I have nine perfumes (a little small compared to some beauty bloggers/vloggers). It's not many, but it's enough for me. I don't have the space in my room to hold any more (well I do, but I like displaying them as they are all soooooo pretty) and quite frankly I don't even use half of them. When I see/smell a fragrance that I love I will constantly wear that perfume until the bottle is empty or I find a new one that I like (therefore resulting in a never ending circle). With the exception of one:

Christian Lacroix/C'est La Fete


I didn't buy this perfume (It was a gift from a friend for my 16th birthday). It's always a tricky one when your friend buys you a perfume as they don't really know what scent's you like. I think we went to Alton Towers the day she gave me this and I wished that I opened it at home on my own! Instead I tore the wrapping paper off in the car, said a massive thank you (along with an awkward hug in the car with the seatbelt's on) and thoroughly spritzed it all over myself! It's not a fragrance I would recommend (but then everyone's opinions are different) and I think the only reason why I have kept it is because of the amazing bottle. I don't really know why I love it as much as I do! Maybe i'm just weird. 

Now onto my Top 4 Favourite Perfumes:

 


1. CKin2u Her

    'Ckin2u her speaks to a new generation that is emboldened sexually and is freed by technology to connect anywhere at any time, the 'no commitment' generation.'

'spontaneous. sexy. connected. ckin2u is the scent for those living in the now'.

Top notes; redcurrant leaves, sicilian bergamot and pink grapefruit fizz

Heart notes; burst of sugar orchid and white cactus

Base notes; warm combination of red cedar, neon amber and vanilla soufflé

This was the first fragrance I ever owned and I am pretty sure this is my 3rd bottle! For me it is not a very sexy scent but a more casual one?! (I'm not good at describing perfumes) I normally pick this one up in the spring as (for me) it's a nice transition fragrance from winter to spring, and gets me in the mood for summer. 

If any of you received the 'Noble Isle Summer Rising Bath & Shower Gel' in May from GLOSSYBOX (and liked it). Then this may be the perfume for you as it me it has the same smell.

                                                    CKin2u Her RRP £23.75 (150ml)

2. Taylor Swift Wonderstruck

    'Taylor's personal life experiences inspired this fragrance. Just like her creative approach to songwriting, every element is authentic, embracing all that is special about Taylor. 

Wonderstruck is an awe-inspiring feeling. It could be a connection with someone or a rush you get when you experience something magical. Wonderstruck is also a lyric in the song "Enchanted" on Taylor's album, Speak Now. 

In this fragrance, a charming and sparkling surprise of vibrant fruits kisses a bouquet of soft petals and a touch of sweet indulgence.

A perfectly charmed deep purple bottle holds this enchanting fragrance. The iridescent rainbow finish, never before used in the fragrance industry, gives the bottle a magical glow. The Moravian star, dove, and birdcage charms that adorn the bottle were hand-picked by Taylor to evoke her unique style and whimsical flair.'

Notes; Freesia, Green Tea, Apple Blossom, Raspberry, Dewberry. 

This is my most recent perfume. I picked it up when I was on holiday in New York in June (as we didn't have it here in the UK - However it has recently been launched over here so if you're interested buy it now!) So it hasn't been in my collection long - and it's already one of my favourites!

It does slightly remind me of the Britney Spears perfume (but better) and is definitely a girly, strong and floral perfume. It doesn't have a great staying power (seeing as it is an 'Eau De Parfum' perfume) and only lasts for about 2 hours on me before I have to spray again! However the bottle is simply gorgeous, cute and enchanting itself.

Taylor Swift, Wonderstruck RRP £32.30 (100ml)

On a side note in September Taylor is releasing another fragrance 'Wonderstruck Enchanted' (in the US unfortunately - so it'll take another year to arrive in the UK). I don't know what it is going to smell like but I can tell you one thing! The bottle is again a beautiful design - in red - and I simply cannot wait! 

3. Stella McCartney Stella

    'The first fragrance by Stella McCartney, inspired by the fragile beauty of a rose, is contrasted by sensuality of amber. Playing with the opposition of the masculine and the feminine as well, the bottle’s lines, both precious and sharp, frame a seemingly infinite plum dégradé.'

I purchased Stella on a whim, and I am really really really glad I did! Not only is the bottle simply stunning (unfortunately it was a limited edition design) but the smell makes me feel all grown up and professional. I normally wear this in the Summer and Autumn months (I try not to use it too much as I love the bottle too much). This seems to make an appearance in most beauty bloggers summer fragrance picks (therefore highly recommended). It's more of a light and subtle fragrance with fresh floral notes. In addition it's in a nice little dinky bottle which makes it easy to thrown in your bag and travel around (plus it's sturdy too so no leaking/breaking).

Stella McCartney, Stella RRP £37.50 - £66.50

4. Elie Saab Le Parfum

    'Radiant, voluptuous, addictive'

'The top note opens on a sun-kissed, radiant orange blossom, as an ode to light.'

'The middle note develops into a jasmine absolute, a legendary flower in perfumery, imparting voluptuousness and elegance to the fragrance. It combines with a pure, modern patchouli heart.'

'The base note unfolds into a cedar woody accord adding character and a lingering trail, while the honey rose envelops the composition in a beautifully addictive note...'

This is undoubtably my FAVOURITE perfume of all time. It is such a stunning scent! I purchased this when there was a big beauty blogger hype surrounding this perfume, with everyone raving about it! I can honestly say that I agree with the hype. I know a few people were disappointed with this perfume (after all the hype people were buying it without smelling it first) but I can honestly see no fault with it! 

Elie Saab Le Parfum RRP £38 - £69.99
