My Favourite Perfumes!

Hello there,

I was looking through my drawer and I found some of the perfumes that I use all the time so I thought I'd tell you about them. I honestly like perfumes an awful lot and I am always looking at new ones in shops and just really driving my sister insane.

Over the years, I think that the perfumes that I often picked used to fade really quickly and that is a factor that I always look into when buying a new one. I also like sweet or floral perfumes rather than fruity however there are a few odd ones that I do like - e.g. Ralph Lauren Number 2 for women but it is really rare.
White Musk from The Body Shop
One of my absolute favourite perfumes that I like to wear on a regular basis is White Musk from The Body Shop. This retails at £10.00 for 30ml and £15.00 for 60ml and I can honestly say that if I had to purchase one perfume for the rest of my life, it would probably be this one. It is quite light however the vanilla and musk really make it quite sweet, which I think is perfect to wear everyday. It is also a lot cheaper than other  perfumes and the 30ml itself lasts a very long time. I've had mine for over a year now and there's still a little bit left. So yes, that is definitely my favourite.
Princess by Vera Wang
Another favourite of mine is Princess by Vera Wang. The bottle itself is very cute - the perfume bottle is heart shaped with a crown for a lid. This has extracts of vanilla, similarly to the White Musk, which should be quite strong however there are also notes of waterlily which helps to simmer it down a little. The scent is both floral and sweet but definitely bordering more closer to floral. This retails at £33.50 for 30ml and £44.50 for 50ml so it is quite expensive but honestly, two squirts of this perfume will last nearly the whole day so it is worth the price. I would highly recommend checking this out the next time you are at a perfume store because it is seriously amazing.
Lady Million by Paco Rabanne
Another perfume that I love is Lady Million by Paco Rabanne. This has a lot of floral notes in it like Orange flower and Arabian Jasmine but the overall feel that it gives you is quite glamorous yet classy and sexy. It is quite strange but I absolutely love it as it is unlike any of the other perfumes that I have talked about previously. The bottle is amazing - it is shaped like a diamond and has a gold plated lid which makes it look really expensive and draws your eye to it. It is also great if you want to carry it around with you because it is quite smooth and doesn't have any extra detailing like Vera Wang's Lovestruck. This perfume retails at £35.50 for 30ml and £44.50 for 50ml which is similar to Princess by Vera Wang. It lasts absolutely ages- I've had this one over six months now and I still have half of it left so definitely go and check that out.
Alien by Thierry Mugler
One last perfume that I absolutely LOVE is Alien by Thierry Mugler. Because mine is completely finished, I don't have a picture of it but the bottle is extraordinary - to me, it looks like a creature but its a really beautiful bottle and it definitely grabs your attention. This again has hints of jasmine but it has wood and white amber which is quite an odd mix but it works really well leaving a soft yet distinctive scent behind. The best thing about this perfume is that it lasts longer than any of the perfumes above - if you spray in the morning, it will still smell the following day or late into the night. This retails at £43.50 for 30ml and £66.50 for 50ml. This is a lot more expensive than the others but selected stores such as The Perfume Shop allow you to refill the perfume only after it is finished rather than buying another bottle with new perfume inside it. I highly highly recommend this and I absolutely love it.

I hope this has given you an insight into some of the perfumes that I love and I hope I have persuaded you to check some of them out.

Have a nice day.
