Fragrance Collection

 

Good morning loves!

 Here's a little look into my bathroom cupboard, the fragrance edition.

Victoria's Secret Lovespell is by far my favorite body spray. You can see I prefer sprays over perfume, just kidding. Perfume is expensive and there are a million other things I'd rather buy for the same amount of money. 

Avon Raspberry Body Spray, I don't know why I'm even keeping this around it smells like medicine.

Insignia, received as a gift way back when.

Bath & Body Works Coconut spray. I love anything coconut. 

Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar perfume and body spray. Surprisingly I find the body spray to smell better?

Bath & Body Works, Japanese Cherry Blossom. One of my favorite scents from them.

Bath & Body Works, Twilight Woods spray. Another great scent. I might have a slight Bath & Body Works addiction.

Another I think Victoria's Secret perfume, or maybe LaSenza. Super light and fresh scent.

An Elizabeth Arden perfume that my mom gave me.

Lancomes Miracle and a sample of another Lancome perfume.

Kat Von D's Saint and Sinner samples. I love both of these and I received them from Influenster.

A small collection to some but definitely more than enough for me.

What's your favorite scent?

Fragrance Collection

 

In my previous posts I mentioned I don't splurge on luxury perfumes unless I really love them. I did want to show you guy my current fragrance collection though, which as you can see is mostly body mists...but there's nothing wrong with that right?\

From top left to bottom right;

Beauty Rush Winterberry: This is no longer available and I've been carting this around for years. It's probably about time for it to go honestly.

Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar (Perfume/Body Mist): For some reason I don't like the smell of the perfume as much as the body spray the perfume has a weird almost chemical scent to it.

• Top Notes: Intoxicating Vanilla, White Orchid
• Mid Notes: Vanilla Tonka, Sparkling Sugar, Fresh Coconut, Fresh Jasmine
• Dry Notes: Warm Vanilla Bean, Cocoa Bean, Creamy Sandalwood   

Japanese Cherry Blossom: One of my favorite scents from Bath & Body Works!

• Top Notes: Asian Pear, Fuji Apple, Ume Plum
• Mid Notes: Japanese Cherry Blossom, Butterfly Lily, Kyoto Rose, Mimosa Petals
• Dry Notes: Vanilla Rice, Imperial Amber, Silk Musk, Cinnamon Incense, Himalayan Cedarwood, Creamy Sandalwood

Twilight Woods: Another one of my favorites! It say's online that this is an online exclusive fragrance. I bought mine in store so I'm not sure when it was no longer available in store. Can you tell I love floral/fruity scents?

• Top Notes: Juicy Berry, Sparkling Mandarin, Coconut
• Mid Notes: Creamy Frangipani, Soft Mimosa, Wet Honeysuckle, Wild Freesia, Apricot Nectar
• Dry Notes: Oud Wood, Musk, Orris, Vanilla Milk, Warm Wood

180 Degree Pink: No longer available. I didn't know but I guess this is supposed to resemble 360 Pink by Perry Ellis which I've actually never heard of.

Love Spell - Victoria's Secret: My favorite summer scent. Lately I've been rocking this just about every day. It is a gorgeous smell!

Notes: Cherry Blossom & Peach

Avon Lotus Flower and Raspberry Scents: I couldn't find these online so I don't think they are available anymore. Again, more scents I've been packing around wherever I go that are about ready for the trash. These both have an underlying chemical smell so I wouldn't repurchase any scents from Avon. I got these when my best friends mom was an Avon rep and she always would just give me things to use so I did use them I've had these forever and I don't have any reason for keeping them any longer.

Insignia: I got this for Christmas one year. I'm pretty sure it' just a drugstore perfume.

A&F 8: Again, I couldn't find it online and I'm disappointed as I'm almost out of this and I gues I can't buy a replacement now and I really do love this.

Bath & Body Works Exotic Coconut: Another one that is no longer available. If you know me you know I love anything and everything coconut. Luckily there is no shortage of coconut scented items on the market.

Lusting after....High End Fragrances

I feel like I need to invest some money into more high-end perfumes. From my previous post you know that I can't bring myself to spend dollars upon dollars on something I find quite frivolous unless I will wear it into the ground. I created this wish list of high end perfumes I am lusting over at the moment.

YSL Black Opium: This has notes that I've never seen really seen in other fragrances including coffee accord and although you may not think it works great alongside the floral scents it does and I think it makes it more powerful overall. The bottle would look glamorous on the vanity not to mention, I love the black and pick color scheme along with the sparkle finish of the bottle.

Viktor&Rolf Flowerbomb: Like it's male counterpart (which I didn't know was for men, oops) the bottle looks like a grenade which I thought was an incredibly cool concept. I did receive a sample of this way back when with a Sephora order and I'm a sucker for floral scents and I will definitely splurge for this! There is nothing but an explosion of floral notes;

Notes:
Sambac Jasmine, Centifolia Rose, Cattleya Orchid, Ballerina Freesia, Patchouli.

Elizabeth James Nirvana Black and White:I've always loved the Olsen twins. For me they are one of the greatest style icons and do not dress like any other which is what style is all about. They paved the road for the menswear trend in my eyes and can seemingly pull of anything! I was excited when I heard they had released new fragrances meant to embody the line between feminine and masculine.
Nirvana Black has three notes;  vanilla, sandalwood and violet. Simple but pleasurable.
Nirvana White, the more musky of the two. I've read mixed reviews for this one and I have not tried either yet I'm just inclined to buy them as like I said above the Olsen's are a big icon to me. Of course I will be trying both before I buy. Reading the reviews on the White I'm not sure how I'll feel but I already know I love the notes included in the black so there is no doubt in my mind that I will be saving for that.

Which fragrances are you coveting?

Favorite Scents ~ Japanese Cherry Blossom

 

Hey guys! 

I wanted to start sharing some of my favorite scents {Japanese Cherry Blossom} I am not a huge fan of perfumes per say but I do love a good body spray {and the occasional perfume}

The notes {from the Bath & Body works website}

• Top Notes: Asian Pear, Fuji Apple, Ume Plum
• Mid Notes: Japanese Cherry Blossom, Butterfly Lily, Kyoto Rose, Mimosa Petals
• Dry Notes: Vanilla Rice, Imperial Amber, Silk Musk, Cinnamon Incense, Himalayan Cedarwood, Creamy Sandalwood
•  

The notes I have made bold are the ones that really stand out to me when using this. This retails for $14 CAD at Bath & Body works and if you're like me and have a dozen other fragrances in your repertoire this will last you through the ages!

Of course it is a floral and quite sweet smelling scent which I know a lot of people dislike but because it's just a body spray it dies down a lot quicker so the scent isn't overpowering which I like, yes you do have to re spritz every now and then but not a big deal as if you wanted something that lasted you most likely would have vied for the eau de toilette.

Your favorite scent?

=)
