I Heart Perfume TAG!

Hullo Lovely Ladies

*Sigh...* -_- 

The Perfume obsession continues...I just watched the Eleventh Gorgeous I Heart Perfume Tag Youtube video and I loved the questions so much that I've decided to do the tag as well! 

What was the first perfume you ever purchased?

The first perfume I ever purchased myself was Valentino Rock and Rose. I bought it from Duty Free Summer of 2011. I loved it so much, it was my first high end perfume. 

What's your signature scent?

I don't really have one, I have so many different perfumes that it changes on a daily basis. I do have those certain Holy Grail perfumes though : Armani Code, Roberto Cavalli and Vera Wang Princess Night. 

What is your most recent purchase?

Loverdose by Diesel - I got it in the Boxing day/January sales. 

When I tried it when it came out about a year ago I wasn't too fussed with it but after I bought it and wore it on my skin I fell in love with it! So glad I took the chance and bought it. 

Which perfume would you wear at night time/date night?

Roberto Cavalli or Armani Code - There both very sexy and mysterious scents but strange enough they are very comforting scents too. I like to spray my scarf with them in the winter and just have a good snuggle with it :-) 

What is your favourite spring/summer scent?

For Christmas I was given Oh Lola by Marc Jacobs and I literally can't wait for spring to get here so I can start wearing it more because I feel like it's just going to be an incredible scent when the sun starts to come out!  Another great one for spring/ summer is Armani I'dole d'Armani, it's a lush crisp, spicy scent. 

If im out at night time in the Summer I love to wear Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears. It's so delicious and sexy. It's been a favourite of mine for years! 

What is your favourite fall/winter perfume?

In the fall I love to wear Tresor Midnight Rose and again in the winter I like to wear Armani Code or Roberto Cavalli. 

What is your favourite scent category? ( Floral, Fruity, Oriental, Aquatic, Gourmand)

My favourite scent category is Warm Oriental or Gourmand. I obviously like scents that are in different categories but my favourite scents seem to be either Oriental or Gourmand fragrances. 

What perfume are you currently lusting after?

I'm currently lusting after Dolce and Gabbana The One. I want it so much :-) It's exactly the kind of perfume I like, sweet but in a classy, soft subtle way.

What fragrance/Cologne do you like on your significant other? 

I don't have a significant other at present but when i'm on a night out I love a guy who wears somthing sexy. Something like Obsession by Calvin Klein or 1 Million by Paco Rabanne.

So that's my I <3 Perfumes Tag completed! 

The people I'm tagging are :

I also tag anyone else who fancies doing it and if you do I'd love it if you left your links in the comment section :-)

Eau My Giddy God - Britney Spears - Fantasy

Hullo Ladies!

This was one of the first perfumes I had ever been given. I remember it was coming home from Florida and my mam and dad bought it for me in duty free. I'm pretty sure that at the time it was relatively new. It wasn't long though and it seemed like everyone was wearing it. 

This isn't the bottle they bought me....I had to repurchase it. I loved it that much. 

I bought this big bottle in my second year of college... about three years ago.

I remember one of my tutors threatening to send me and a couple other girls home because we were wearing this perfume. Not because she was allergic or anything. Just the fact she didn't like it. If thats not power going to someones head then I don't know what it. 

Obviously I did the opposite and wore it on a daily basis ;-) I know that may sound mean but if she had said it was because she was sensitive to scents like that then I wouldn't have worn it...but she was very horrible about it so It just made me angry :-P

Anyway...rant over and on to the actual perfume!

The notes in this fragrance are :

Top  - Litchi, quince and kiwi

Middle - Cupcake, orchid, jasmine and white chocolate

Base - Woodsy Notes, Musy and Orris Root

The notes that stand out to me are White Chocolate and Cupcake...thats all I smell to be honest...which is enough :-) 

I don't wear this much anymore...not because I think its too immature but because I have other perfumes I like more. I usually wear it on those days when I'm feeling down or just lazy. It's a nice fragrance to cuddle up to on the sofa watching a movie with the family kind of thing. 

Scents are great for triggering memories and to me personally this smells like going back to school after christmas and noticing that every girl in that classroom must have had a britney perfume for a present! 

It's a very noticeable scent because it's so popular but I wouldn't say it was too overpowering if used correctly. You don't want to be dousing yourself in it. It has great lasting power and silage ..which means that people really notice that you smell good :-) 

I really want to try her other "Fantasy" perfumes at some point...they all sound lush! 

I tried Curious once but hated it.... smelt awful on me! 

Have you tried this perfume?? Do you have fragrances that bring back funny memories??

Eau My Giddy God - Britney Spears - Midnight Fantasy

Hullo Gorgeous people! 

So I'm doing another perfume review today.

This time its Britney's Midnight Fantasy.

Britney Spears perfumes are very popular and have been for many years. I would be shocked if you haven't tried at least one of them. 

Midnight Fantasy is a summers night perfume. It's very fruity and girly but has a sexy undertone to it. 

This is my small 30 ml bottle but my last bottle of it was a humongous 100 ml and lasted me ages. At one point it was the love of my life, I took it everywhere with me. 

Sadly I can get fed up with perfumes so once my old bottle finished I didn't buy it again for awhile and choose the original Fantasy instead. Then at Christmas time last year my nan was flummoxed on what to get me and as she was the person to get me into J Lo's Miami Glow then I told her to pick me up some kind of perfume and this is what she choose. I was so happy to have it in my life again :-) 

This is a Eau De Parfum and I find it lasts a good time on me especially if sprayed on clothes! 

Here are some of the notes:

Freesia, Iris, Black Cherry, Plum, Musk and Vanilla.

This my favorite of the Britney Spears perfumes that I have tried. 

I would really recommend this if your a fan of fun fruity scents. 

Have you tried this perfume? Love it or hate it? 

Thanks, Linzi xx

My Perfume Collection (March 2012)

Hi Everyone,

I have been reading some Perfume Collection blog posts recently and being a fan of perfume myself, I decided It would be a great first post. So here goes.

                                                     Vanilla by The Body Shop.

I'm a big fan of sweet scents and this one just called to me although at the time I didnt realise It had some coconut also which im not a lover of. It's extreamly sweet and I usually just wear it around christmas time when I feel I can get away with it.

Ralph By Ralph Lauren

  I bought this because I was watching some youtube videos about peoples favorite perfumes and this is one that was mentioned a lot. I'm in love with it. It's one I wear when I want to smell very clean and fresh.

                        Here are the notes: Apple Tree Leaves, Yellow Freesia, Italian Mandarin,Osmanthus,Magnolia, Linden Blossom Flower, Purple Freesia, Musk and White Orris.

                                                   Midnight Fantasy By Britney Spears

    This is another popular perfume, It's very sweet and fruity, I used to wear this all the time when I was younger. It was my night time fragrance back then :) Great for summer nights.  These are some of the notes: Orchid, Freesia, Iris, Black Cherry, Plum, Musk, Vanilla and Amber.

                                                    
                                                            Fantasy By Britney Spears

     This was very popular when I was fourteen, I loved it back then but it seemed like every girl in my year was wearing it so I decided to buy something different. Then a couple of years later when on holiday in Florida my mam bought it for me in Duty Free. I was very pleased :)

The notes are : Jasmine Petals, White Chocolate Orchid,Red Lychee, Golden Quince, Kiwi, Musk, Orris Root, Sensual Woods.

                                                       DKNY Be Delicious (green)
This is a lovely fruity scent and I have been getting a lot of compliments on it sinse I bought it a few months back in the January sales.
           Here's what The Perfume Shop says "A modern feast for the senses, this juicy fragrance combines the scent of apple with a sophisticated blend of exotic flowers and sensual woods".

                                                      Sarah Jessica Parkers' NYC

This a fruity sweet perfume that I had for Christmas two years ago, It's not a favorite of mine because of the bottle, I find it really cheap looking and the fact that the patterns on the cap doesn't match the patterns on the actual bottle extremely annoying.

Here are the notes :
Red Rose Damascenia Gardenia, Mimosa, Italian Bergamot, Wild Red Strawberries, White Osmanthus, Creamy Musks, Rum Accord, Vanilla.

Armani Code By Giorgio Armani

This is my Favorite perfume of all time, It's one I wear on special occasion and nights out. I find it fruity at first and then it dries down in to a scrumptious sweet scent. It's a bit expensive for me but I found it on offer in Boots after Christmas this year and It was so good I bought another one two days later because the price of the two of them in the sale was the same If I had just bought the one out of the sale. I couldn't let that offer pass me by. :)

Here are the notes: Orange Blossom, Jasmine, Orange, Honey, Vanilla.

Sunflowers By Elizabeth Arden

This was the first perfume I ever owned, back when so many teens my age were wearing Britney's Fantasy that we were suffocating on it in the classroom I decided I wanted something different and my mam took me to the local Superdrug and satyed with my while I sniffed probably every perfume in the shop untill I found this one. Its very fresh and floral but also has fruity notes in it.

Here are some of the notes:

Rose, jasmine, osmanthus, iris root, Lemon, rosewood, orange blossom, mandarin, bergamot, melon, peach, Musk, cedar, amber, moss and sandal wood.

Siren By Paris Hilton

This is my newest perfume, my mother treated my in TK Maxx last week and this is what I picked. I've heard good things about Paris Hilton Perfume's and this is one of them. A few people have said this is a dupe for Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy, which I dont own but have tested in store and have to say I agree, They are both very similar. It's a lovely fruity scent with notes of mandarin, peach and a creamy hint of vanilla.

Lancome's Tresor Midnight Rose

This is a lovely night time perfume for me I didn't like it at first but then it grew on me and now I sometimes even crave the smell of it. It's a mature scent but because of the raspberry and blackcurrent notes its a keeper for me and my fruity tastes :)

Here are the notes :Rose, Jasmine, raspberry, blackcurrent, Vanilla and  Musks.

Valentino Rock 'N Rose

I bought this in Spain last year on holiday, It's quite a mature scent and I keep it for nights out. It's a sexy scent to me, prehaps something to wear when your trying to pull or on a hot date :)

Here are some of the notes: bergamot, blackcurrant,  green leaves andmuguet. rose, gardenia, orange blossom, sandalwood, heliotrope, orris, vanilla and musk.

Harajuku Lovers in Love

This is a sweet floral scent which I really like, I don't like florals much but I'm in love with this right now and have been wearing it everyday for the last week. I love the design aswell shes so cute!

Here are the notes: Pink Pamelo, Bergamot, Bamboo Leaf Mist, Rose, Peony,  Jasmine, Vanilla Orchid, Musk, BlondeWood.

Harajuku Lovers in Music

A fruity and sweet scent, I find it very fresh and juicy smelling. I love this one too, I hope I get to own all the Harajuku Line at soem point, they would look amazing all together :)

Here are the notes:  Pear, clementine, sweetpea, jasmine , Honeysuckle,  Woods, Vanilla,  Musk.

So thats it. I know I have way too many but It's become a bit of an addiction lately, I usually change my addictions frequently so no doubt it will be something different soon.

Thanks, Linzi :) x
