The Favourite Fragrance
Monday, 18 June 2018
When it comes to perfumes, I hate buying them with my own money. I don't know why, maybe because they're so expensive for such a small bottle or that I can never narrow down my choices to just one (i'm rubbish at making decisions anyway!). So, I always put a new bottle of perfume on my Birthday or Christmas list, and stick to what I know with a repeat of an old favourite or occasionally let someone who knows me well choose one- risky business!
For my last birthday, I decided to freshen things up, letting my brother take the reigns and choose my next bottle of perfume. And boy did he do a good job! The perfume he chose? Jimmy Choo Blossom. I feel like it's a bit of a cult classic and is known and loved by so many people, but I can totally see why. It smells delicious- very fruity and floral, perfect for the spring, summer months but that didn't stop me wearing it all the way through winter. I definitely find it more of a daytime perfume, so I do prefer to wear a muskier, darker scent when going out in the evening.
A big thing for me with perfumes is the bottle. They have to look good on my dressing table. In an ombre pink bottle, Blossom is elegant and simplistic, perfect in my perfume tray. It's my go-to scent for everyday and for a new perfume phobe, I can see it being my favourite fragrance for a while.

That Fragrance Feeling
Friday, 15 February 2013
It's fair to say I'm pretty boring when it comes to perfumes. I've repurchased the same one 3 times and practically used that and only that for the past 2 years. 'That' fragrance being Lacoste A Touch Of Pink. I suppose i had got into a rut with my fragrances and i knew it was one that i could always rely on. Whenever i was looking for a new perfume i would spend ages deciding which one to buy, which wouldn't stretch my budget too much and just end up not being able to decide and going for same old Lacoste. Saying all of that i did really love it, i just think that wearing the same perfume practically everyday made me lose by love for it.
But at Christmas, i said enough's enough! and when asked what perfume i wanted i said i didn't know which, just not Lacoste. So, the job was up to my lovely grandma to pick a perfume for me (who is always great at choosing presents) and by jove did she do a good job! That perfume is Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose.
First of all it comes it comes in quite a simple yet sleek bottle with a magnetic lid and a gorgeous purple flower around the neck that gives it that sexy feel. Now on to the scent, which I've worn almost every day since Christmas and i have received so many compliments of the classic 'ooh you smell nice'. Now I'm rubbish at describing smells so Lancome describe it as a 'captivating scent that blends intense rose and bold blackcurrant notes with vivacious jasmine, peony and pink pepper'. I'd say it's quite a sophisticated perfume that's perfect for a night out or a date as it's got a mysterious feel to it.
To make sure i don't get into the same perfume rut as before I'm definitely going to be buying more perfumes and hopefully finding some more gems than i can excite over!
