My Perfume Collection

Smell is an intriguing sense.. We often associate people and objects by there scent, and you are remembered by your smell. I usually gravitate to the same perfume scents, I only have a small collection but I thought it was time to do a post on my perfumes.

My favourite perfume of all time, that I have repurchased and will keep repurchasing, is DKNY Be Delicious. I'm not the best at describing scents so bare with me. This perfume smells like crisp, green apples. It is on the sweet side, but not sickly so, it is quite fresh. The packaging is in the shape of an apple as well. This perfume is a EDP (eau de parfum), which is what I most commonly look for because the scent lasts and it is not overpowering when you first apply it.

 My second favourite perfume is Marc Jacobs Dot, I received this from my lovely boyfriend for our anniversary last year. The packaging is beautiful and so is the smell. This is how it is described on the internet:
"... incorporate red berries combined with dragon fruit. The juicy and exciting opening is followed by a floral trio composed of honeysuckle, jasmine and orange blossom, while a base closes with a trail of coconut water, vanilla, driftwood and sensual musk."
I would describe it as a fruity, light floral scent. I am not a big fan of strong floral scents but this is not one of those perfumes. This perfume is just beautiful!

I fell in love with Calvin Klein Sheer Beauty after receiving a sample. This new addition of Beauty is marketed towards a younger demographic. It has the same floral/fruity smell I love in perfumes. The bottle is also very beautiful and elegant. I made a mistake when purchasing this and bought it in EDD (eau de toilette - which has a lesser concentration of oil). This makes it very strong when you first apply and it also makes me sneeze A LOT! Which is a bit disappointing since I forked out the money for it, but I still wear it now and then.

Another gift from my boyfriend (he knows I love the Marc Jacobs perfumes) was the Marc Jacobs Lola. This is one that I wouldn't neccessarily have chosen for myself, as it is more of a FLORAL floral. Not really fruity at all.
"Lola includes pink pepper, pear, ruby red grapefruit, peony, rose, geranium, vanilla, creamy musk and tonka."
However, I do like it and it is nice to have something a little different to chose from.

 Last but not least, Nina Ricci 'Nina'. This was another gift from the boyfriend when we first started dating. He noticed my love for DKNY and I think that inspired this purchase as it is shaped like an apple. This is a EDD as well, so I can't always use it as my nose doesn't agree (sneezing constantly is not fun). But I do like the scent. It is a fruity-floral scent with fresh citrus undertones. The bottle is fun and reminds me of Snow White.

And that's my favourite perfumes. I fancy more expensive perfumes rather than having many cheaper ones. I think the scent that I like can clearly be seen in this post, so if you have any other suggestions to try I would love to hear them.
