Perfume Collection




Hey guys! Thought I would do a post on my perfume collection seeing as I love perfume. While I don't own many, my collection only consists of five, I love all of them despite the fact they are all very different scents. All the perfumes mentioned in this post are Eau de Parfum's as I prefer these to Eau de Toilette as they last longer. Hope you enjoy!

 Taylor Swift - Wonderstruck
£20 for 30ml


This is the only celebrity perfume I own as I am usually not a big fan of them, but it is definitely one of my favourites. It's probably the sweetest smelling perfume I own, the main note being vanilla with hints of freesia, apple blossom and raspberry. For me it's the perfect blend of fruity and floral scents and the perfume I find myself gravitating towards most often. If you like sweet scents then this is definitely one for you, and the price isn't bad either!

Givenchy - Play Intense for Her
£35.99 for 30ml


This perfume was gifted to me by a now ex boyfriend who we won't name, but despite that I do really love the scent. It is definitely more of a night time perfume as it is a strong, heavy scent. Some of the notes include  pink peppercorn, white peach, orange blossom and magnolia. Another thing I like about this perfume is the lasting power. Out of all the perfumes I own this one probably lasts the longest on my skin and I can still smell it a good 6 hours after spraying it. 

Diesel - Loverdose
£36 for 30ml


This was the first perfume I purchased for myself back in 2011. I used to wear it a lot back then, however since my collection has expanded I have found myself using it less and less. Again it is a strong, heavy scent, better suited to nighttime - this is the only time I will wear it. The scent is really a love it or hate it one. The main note is liquorice which I understand isn't to everyone's taste. Other notes include mandarin, vanilla and dry woods but the liquorice is definitely what stands out. It is unlike any other perfume I have smelled, it's unique and I like that. Like I said, it's not for everyone so it's one to try before you buy!

Stella McCartney - Stella
£40 for 30ml


This perfume is somewhat of a blogger favourite. I had to try it after I heard so many bloggers and youtuber's saying how amazing it was! It has top notes of rose, peony and mandarin, middle notes of rose absolute and base notes of amber. This is my travel perfume, it is perfect for chucking in your bag when you're heading out the door as the bottle is small and has a lid, so it wont leak in your bag. The scent is distinctive - I can always tell if someone is wearing Stella. It is one of the pricier perfumes in my collection but definitely worth the price, and the body lotion I got free with it is amazing too.

Chloe - Chloe
£40 for 30ml



This was another perfume purchase inspired by a youtuber - specifically Barbara from thepersianbabe. I adore her style and everything she wears so when she said she loved this perfume I knew I had to own it. I have saved the best till last - this perfume is gorgeous. The scent as well as the bottle are elegant and sophisticated and make me feel like a real grown up woman when I wear it. It has notes of rose, lychee and honey and is a floral scent I feel every girl should own. I think this is quickly becoming my signature scent.

Perfect for day or night and one that is sure to bring you tons of compliments. A must have!
