So today I thought I'd share my favourite fragrances with you. I don't have a specific 'Summer' perfume or 'Winter' one. The smells I like, I like all year round. Yes some are a bit more summery than others but most of them, I love the smell because they hold a memory and as soon as I spray the perfume, that memory comes flooding back.
1. DKNY - MY NY - This was the first perfume my boyfriend bought for me so when I spray it, I think of him.
2. Roberto Cavalli - Roberto Cavalli - My mum bought me this perfume when I was feeling really down, very low on cash and just needed cheering up. So she took me shopping and bought me a Pandora Charm and this perfume. So when I spray it, I think of her. It also makes me think of a colleague who now works in a different office to me. (She wore it on a regular basis and we get on really well).
3. Marc Jacobs - Dot - Bought for me, by me. A shopping trip where I'd already spent too much but I really wanted it so I just bought the smaller version.
4. Coco Chanel - Mademoiselle - This is by far, my favourite perfume. I just love it. I call it my New York scent because my friend wore it the first time we went and I could smell it all day every day. So, of course, every time I smell this perfume, I think of New York. My parents have just been on holiday and very kindly brought me a bottle back from the airport.
5. Carolina Herrera - 212 VIP - My other favourite perfume! I must admit, I don't have any one particular memory for this one. It just makes me feel so good when I wear it. It has happy memories with it. My boyfriend also bought me a travel size version for my birthday so it goes almost everywhere with me now. :)
6. Jennifer Lopez - Love at First Glow - This is my 'Summer Scent' if I absolutely had to pick one. It's very light but a delicious smell. I had this bought for me for my 18th birthday and after I finished the bottle I couldn't find it anywhere. I was over the moon when I eventually found it in Savers of all places. At 27 I still love it now.
7. Jennifer Lopez - Glow After Dark - My other New York scent. This is the perfume I was wearing when my friend was wearing Coco. Of course, I sprayed it in the morning and got a whiff of it every so often but I couldn't smell it all day like I could the Coco. I still love wearing this one on the odd occasion because it does, for a little while, send me straight back to New York. (I wish it was that easy to get back there!!)
8. DKNY - Love From New York - This was another holiday present from my parents a few years back. I've only had the one bottle as I don't wear it very often but I do keep going back to it. It's very fruity and light. Definitely wouldn't really suit a night out but does make a very nice 'day' perfume.
All eight of these are gorgeous perfumes. Yes, I have two particular favourites (4 & 5) but I LOVE them all.
You can't beat a good perfume. I feel like buying a new perfume is almost as good as buying a new pair of shoes. There are so many others I want to try and if money were no object I'd have hundreds of them. I do also love Lady Million by Paco Rabanne although sadly, I've never owned it. I'm sure I'll treat myself to a bottle one day. I did once make a tester last a very long time! Haha.
That's all from me for now. If there are any perfumes you'd like to recommend, please feel free to leave some comments below.
