Perfume Collection

:Apple doesn't fall far from the tree, like Mother like Daughter I am the ultimate perfume addict. Though my collection is probably a fraction of my Mother's as she has a whole cabinet full. Btw I have collected these over the years hence most are a spray away from being empty. This was not a splurge.

I have since calmed down with my collection as before I found my signature scent I would get bored so easily and want a new scent every month. Then I stumbled across the amazing Thierry Mugler Angel. That scent is me in a bottle. Hence why I have 2 stars. One was non refillable but when I used it up I decided to purchase the refillable star and have refilled it twice since. It actually works out cheaper too. Buy it for £65 and refill it for £40. 

My top 5 out of my entire collection not including Thierry Mugler are; 

Marc Jacobs - Lola

YSL - Elle 

Valentino - Rock' n Rose 

Fendi - Extreme 

Dior - Miss Dior 

Teen Tatler does Jack Wills day out and Haul

So yesterday I got invited to be on the guest list for an exclusive Teen Tatler does Jack Wills event at the Jack Wills on Kings Road, Chelsea. As a fashionista it was an amazing experience for me because along with being able to meet the editor and chief of Teen Tatler magazine and taking part in a question and answer session, I also got a sneak peak of Jack Wills new summer collection through the fashion shows that were held. 

It felt very exclusive as it wasn't packed at all, only the people on the guest list were allowed to get in. Also probably why they chose to host this event in Chelsea rather then Central London. 

We were provided with refreshments and ice cream upon arrival yummy and promised a free gift if we purchased something in store seeing as everything was 25% off. Naturally I couldn't help myself sales are my kryptonite. So this is what happened... 

Highmoor Shirt in White/Pink originally £44.50 down to £33.38 (Saved £11.12)

Fullford Tee in Sage £19.50 down to £14.63 (Saved £4.87)

(Would have spent £64, only spent £48.01 (Total Savings £15.99) ) 

Thats what I call bagging a bargain

My Free gift, c'est tres chic wash bag avec body lotion and body wash which smells divine like an expensive designer perfume I just can't put my finger on which one, I'm thinking  Marc Jacobs Lola. 

I also got a tester of Benefit -The Pore Fessional. I don't really have a problem with my pores so never felt the need to purchase it but I have heard amazing things about it so might as well try it out if the tester is free. 

Keep Calm and Carry on Shopping

Smells like Spring - Top 5 Perfumes

So when it comes to perfumes I am a bit of junkie. They say the average women owes about 2, and I thought having around 30 in my collection was still small. I think I get it from my Mum. Even though I do have my signature scent which is Thierry Mugler Angel because it is the most amazing smell in the world and I understand why they make refillable bottles as I just can't get enough of the stuff, I do love testing out new smells as I just get bored. Also as a perfume junkie I believe it is important to switch it up during the year because every season has its own scents just like every season has its own colour palettes. Summer is all about super sweet and fruity smells, Autumn is all about the spicy smells, Winter is all about the musky smells and Spring is all about the fresh and floral smells. As Spring is only around the corner I will be switching to my all time favourite scents of Spring. 

Marc Jacobs Lola. Lets Just take a moment to talk about how amazing the bottle is. I've always loved Marc Jacobs packaging they never fail to disappoint. Tres chic. Anyhow not the best at describing scents here but imagine you've just picked a bouquet of fresh flowers of stepped into a field of daffodils on a warm Spring day. This is what this scent reminds me of. I like going on fragrantica.com as it deconstructs perfumes into top notes, middle notes and base notes. According to fragrantica Lola includes pink pepper, pear, ruby red grapefruit, peony, rose, geranium, vanilla, creamy musk and tonka. 

Miss Dior is definitely more Spring appropriate then Miss Dior Cherie which is more suitable for the Summer as it is fruitier and sweeter. Miss Dior is perfect for the Spring. A fresh cosy floral scent. Top notes are aldehydes, gardenia, galbanum, clary sage and bergamot; middle notes are carnation, iris, orris root, jasmine, neroli, lily-of-the-valley, rose and narcissus; base notes are labdanum, leather, sandalwood, amber, patchouli, oakmoss and vetiver.

Calvin Klein Euphoria. I think the name speaks for itself. The main notes are rose hip, Japanese apple, green leaves, Lotus, black orchid, red woods, black violet and amber. 

Gucci Guilty is a very light and feminine fragrance but equally empowering as its got the perfect combination between floral and fruit it transports you to a different realm. Gucci Guilty contains the notes of mandarin, pink pepper, peach, lilac, geranium, amber and patchouli.

Elie Saab screams feminine scent. Its quite strong, a little overpowering rather then light and fresh like a typical spring scent. Its the fact that its purely jasmine based that separates it from the Summer scents and keeps it Spring. Similar to Thierry Mugler Alien which is just as strong but subtler when it comes to the jasmine. The perfume opens with notes of orange blossom. Jasmine is in the heart, including both Grandiflorum and Sambac, whereas the base consists of cedar, patchouli and rose honey accord.


My Top 5 perfumes, beautiful scents perfect for the Spring months worth checking out. You can definitely get high off these perfumes as thats how amazing they smell you won't be able to stop sniffing. 

other spring scents i'd recommend are; 

Nina Ricci - Nina 
Cacharel - Amor Amor 
Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle
