Whilst I don't own that many perfumes (except for all of the samples I've hoarded!) I have always found that three is all you really need. One for the summer, one for the winter and one which you can wear anytime, anywhere which makes you feel fantastic! So here are my perfume picks...
My Summer Perfume
In the summer I like to
wear a perfume which is light, fresh and delicate and just adds a hint of scent
without being obvious, for me the perfect summer perfume is GHOST Sweetheart. I have used this
perfume for years because I just don't get bored of it. I am useless at
describing scents but according to The Perfume Shop it has an oriental floral
scent with heart notes of lemon, pineapple, spearmint, white flowers and
sensual woods. Now I think "oriental floral" sounds quite heavy but
it's really not, if I wear it people tend to say "Oooh, you smell
nice" instead of "Oooh, what's that perfume?" which is exactly
what I'm aiming for.
My Winter Perfume
This has got to be Jimmy Choo by Jimmy Choo, I absolutely
love this perfume! It's a little heavier than my summer one but when I first
tried it I just couldn't stop smelling my sample, it makes me feel warm and
cosy, which is exactly what I want for winter. The notes include pear nectar,
orange and toffee, making it distinctive but also giving it that warm, wintery
feel. I like that it is a little stronger than my summer one, on the basis that
normally it has to make it's way through a lot more layers of clothing! I
sometimes use this one in the evening during the summer but generally it’s a
winter day perfume.
My All-Year All-Rounder!
I only recently
discovered this perfume, as it's new, but I am already totally in love with it
(as is my boyfriend) and wear it all the time. It's Agent Provocateur Fatale and if you buy a 50ml bottle from
House of Fraser, they currently give you a pair of Agent Provocateur hold-ups
with it! This perfume is ideal for so many reasons, like Sweetheart it blends
so naturally with your own scent that it doesn't smell like you are wearing
perfume, you just smell lovely! My boyfriend is really picky about perfumes
because they tend to be too strong but he can't really tell I'm
wearing this one. When you first spray it on it smells quite citrusy and fresh
but then slowly the base notes come through and you get a very sexy musky
vanilla and chocolate smell, heavenly! I have found it works well during the
day or the evening and I'll be wearing it in winter and summer whenever I want
to feel special.
I hope you have enjoyed this post, which are your three must-have perfumes?
Much love,
