My Favourite Perfumes


Hello again, as promised here is My Favourite Perfumes
As you can see there are 6 perfumes here and I will tell you why I like them and who my overall favourite is.



I love this perfume. Every time I wear it I feel fresh and girly. I receive loads of compliments and the staying power is actually really good. I've always loved juicy perfumes but have never loved them enough to blow £60 for them. This one I managed to pick up a set in Debenhams for £22.50 in the sale which included a 40ml perfume and a 20ml roller ball- 10ml of La Fleur and 10ml of Viva La Juicy original.

I think the packaging is super cute but it did have a little dangling "COUTURE" charm which seems to have gone amiss. Sadly as you can see I'm running out of it :( Its a definite repurchase, but the dilemma is do i pay £50 for the £75ml price, or £10 for double the amount but a quite ghastly bottle...?





This scent is so fresh and a "spring day" kind of scent. It's not the most popular of Benefits perfumes- my other all time fave is Laugh With Me Lee Lee, but I ran out about 3 months ago and still haven't repurchased- which says something to me.
This I also had a full bottle of, all gone now and on to the mini handbag size I got in the Cresent row set, If you want to see a whole post on this set click here
This perfume makes me feel good and just lifts up my mood instantly- a quite casual day time perfume- wouldn't say it enticed the boys. The perfume that I think works best on the boys (cringy I know, but isn't that why we wear perfume?) is Britney Spears perfume- the pink one with the green dots. I'm not a great fan but I always get compliments.


3. Jack Wills Luxury Roller Ball scent- Poppy

Sorry about my strange hand position

This scent is sadly discontinued but I cant lie- I love it! Smells just like a good British smell- ya know?
Jack wills perfumes are soo amazing but they are quite aftershavey smelly so aren't really "boy magnets". Not gonna talk to long on this one as you can no longer buy it but I still have two stocked up.




Lucky enough English Velvet is so similar! -NB: they've changed the packaging to transparent bottle, also you can purchase this in perfume form which I'm sure i will as this is running out.

Basically try it out





There are so many things I love about you
1. The scent
2. The adorable packaging
3. The facts thats its not tones of perfume its like a little bottle- I'm not sure why this doesnt annoy me.
4. Not ridiculously expensive

The perfume is quite sweet but with musky vanilla and coconut undertones. Its quite tropical coconutty which I love! (these are my explanations I'm not sure of the actual ingredients) Quite hard to get now- a few years ago they were everywhere


6. Victorias Secret PINK warm and cozy


Ahhhh I love this smell! More of an autumnal kind a scent but in England it basically is Autumn all year round -_-. As it says a really warm scent that smells like being round a campfire toasting marsh mellows. 

On the back it tells us to "Cozy up in Toasted Vanilla and Peony"
I quite often use perfumes as room sprays- this one is the best but I still prefer it as a perfume

75ml: £7
150ml: £15






My ultimate favourite changes with different times of the year
winter- Jack wills English Velvet
Spring- Garden of Good and Eva
Summer- Viva la Juicy La Fleur
Autumn- PINK warm & Cozy


Overall I've gotta say Viva La Juicy La Fleur. It just works for me

Favourite Victoria's Secret scent.





Hi xx

My favourite part of Victorias Secret is definitely the Perfume/makeup section. All there perfumes and body sprays are amazing!!! So, I thought I'd show you what my favourite one is.

My Favourite is Secret Charm

And it's amazing.




As you can see here, I own the perfume (which I either keep in my school bag or hand bag), the body spray and the body butter. My favourite out of these three products is definitely the body butter as it is so soft and creamy, and the smell stays on all day. I feel with the body spray you have to re-aply in the later hours of the day (thats what the handbag-sized perfume is for). I have already gone through two of the perfume (I'm on my third!!!) and I'm on my second of the body spray. If I'm right I believe the hand-bag perfumes are £10 for 30 ml and the Body spray is £11 for 250ml. The body butter I'm not certain of the price but its probably around the £11-15 mark, for 185g (additional note- a little goes a long way). They just all smell sooooooo good.

Crescent Row- Benefit

Hi everyone xx

I purchased (quite a while ago now) a Benefit Crescent Row mini perfume collection and I thought I'd share my thoughts with you today.

The set was £30 and includes 4x10ml perfumes.
 1. Garden of Good and Eva
 2. Lookin' to Rock Rita
 3. So hooked on Carmella
 4. Laugh with me Leelee

and ERRR ME GERRRDD they are amazing. Here are some snappies I took x

They also have a cute little poem each .


   







Garden of Good and Eva poem:


come away with Eva,
breeze down a lush lane,
she's the fresh rush of splendor,
you can't quite explain.
so vividly vibrant
with a carefree demeanor,
she whirls off to a place
"where grasses are greener."
_______
Top notes: pear, watermelon, ozone accords, muguet
Middle notes: rosebud, jasmine petals, green violet leaves, freesia
Bottom notes: sandalwood, musk, cedarwood
Lookin' to Rock Rita poem: 
Rita's ready to rock
and dressed to thrill,
with a flavor for risks
brilliant dreams to fulfill.
juiced up on extras
and dazzling fashions
a modern-day paradise
"of shake-it-up passions."
_______
Top notes: lemon, coconut, freesia
Middle notes: juicy fig, hyacinth, violet
Bottom notes: sandalwood, brazilian rosewood, vanilla
So hooked on Carmella poem:
when it comes to carmella
don't ask and don't tell
a light touch has admirers
under her spell
her sweet sensuality
no one would guess
so exquisite, enticing...
"an intimate caress."
_____
Top notes: lemon, grapefruit, rhubarb
Middle notes: cyclamen, peony, tiare flower
Bottom notes: vanilla, sandalwood, amber



Laugh with me Lee Lee poem:  


her playful wink
and mischievous smile
the flirtatious side
of her innocent style
no thought or worry
of what's meant to be
first laughter, then love
"... along came LeeLee"
______
Top notes: cassis, melon, citrus.
Middle notes: black violet, lily, jasmine.
Bottom notes: blonde wood, amber, santal.


My favourite of these is "Laugh with me LeeLee", and I have the full size (100ml - £30) but I have actually used it all up, I'm not in a rush to re-purchase as I am currently loving my Viva La Juicy- La Fleur (pictures coming soon). Also if I was to buy another Benefit Perfume, I would definitely purchase Garden of Good and Eva- which I LOVE.

I recommend any of these perfumes, I would also like to mention that they are really good as well as having amazing scents: once sprayed you don't loose the smell immediately- this happens with some Eau de Toilettes, and also there lasting power is really good! I has many compliments when I wore "Laugh with me Lee Lee" as the smell really travelled (a.k.a you didn't have to vigorously sniff my neck/wrist to smell it)
