The Perfume Tag :-)

Hullo Ladies! 


So if you've been reading my blog these last few weeks you may have noticed that I'm perfume mad lately.

Looking on Youtube I noticed that earlier in the year this perfume tag was going around and I was so gutted I missed it so I thought....why not do it anyway?? 

I'm always behind on the trend...why must this be any different? 

So lets start with the questions :-) 

1) What is your favourite Winter scent?

Armani Code, although I wear it all year round it's something I find myself being drawn to in the winter as it's a comfortable yet sexy scent. It's gorgeous and If you've never tried it I highly suggest you test it next time you're in a store!



2) On a lazy day you reach for....?

The Body Shop's Love ECT..  I just keep it in my handbag for those days when I don't know what else to put on as it's so wearable. It's not too sweet, floral or fresh. Just a balanced mix of them all. 



3) What would you use when you are going on a date?

Lancome's Tresor Midnight Rose. 


It's an extremely sexy scent to me. It's a classic with a modern twist. It's very romantic and addictive. 

4) What was your high school signature scent?

When I was in comprehensive school nearly every girl in my class was wearing Britney's Fantasy and as much as I love that scent I wanted something different so my Mam took me to Superdrug and tested a load a perfumes with me untill we found the perfect one. I chose Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden. To me its very fresh and floral. Grown up yet not too old fashioned.



5) What is your current love?

My current favourite is one of my most recent buys, it's Idole d'Armani by Giorgio Armani. 

It was a real surprise to me as I'd never heard of t before. I tested it out one day a few weeks ago and fell instantly in love with it. It's perfect for me. Fresh and sweet with some spicy notes mixed in. I also picked it up on sale which is even better! I've used it nearly everyday since I bought it. 

6) What is your  favourite Summer scent?

My favorite Summer scent is Be Deliscious by DKNY. 
I get so many comments when I wear it. I love it! So juicy and fresh. 


7) Name a perfume you regret buying.

Siren By Paris Hilton.


There was three reasons I bought this on a blind buy from Amazon. 1) Everyone kept telling me how good her perfumes are. 2) It was apparently a dupe for the very famous Viva La Juicy from Juicy Couture. 3) it was extremely cheap online. 

So I thought to myself...why not? I was real excited about it and then when I sprayed it on my wrist I had to run to the bathroom and wash it off again. I hated it! The most embarrassing part is...it's not even a bad dupe. It smells very similar to Viva La Juicy....but me being the idiot I was didn't think of smelling that perfume either. A few months later I did and hated that too. *shakes head in disgust* 

So if you're a fan of Viva La Juicy but hate the price tag I would definitely suggest picking this up. Sadly I now have a 100ml bottle going to waste. 

8) What perfume is on your wish list? 

Roberto Cavalli. I have to smell it every time I go into a Boot's/Superdrug shop. It's stunning. Strong, spicy, a hint of sweetness and instantly recognisable. I'm hoping to get it for Christmas :-) 


I loved doing this tag! I tag anyone who wants to do it :-) 

Hope you all had a nice day!

Eau My Giddy God - Lancome - Tresor Midnight Rose


 Hullo Ladies :-) 

I'm here with another Eau My Giddy God post for you today and its about Lancome's Tresor midnight Rose EDP :-) 

I had heard about the Tresor line but associated it with a mature scent which isn't really me so I always looked past it. 

Then back last year they added this new fragrance to the line.

 I had seen a few reviews online and all those beautiful adverts so I decided to try it out in Boot's.


Now It's very easy to say that Tresor Midnight Rose is probably one of my most loved perfumes.

 I picked  It up in the post Christmas sales last year. ( the only time I can afford it :-P ) 


It has top notes of raspberry and blackcurrent, its heart notes are rose and jasmine and the base notes are vanilla and musk.

For a lot of people it may just be a night time fragrance as its quite powerful but I love it so much I frequently pick it up to go shopping with or just out to dinner. 

It's one of those perfume's that I find myself craving if I do not use it every so often. 


I bought it from The Perfume Shop's online website and it came in a set : A 50ml bottle of perfume, a mini lip gloss, a mini mascara and a eye shadow. 

I love the lip gloss and the eye shadow has become my favourite to wear on a night out as its very glittery without any fall out. 

The mascara was fine although I found nothing special about it. All in all it was a great set to pick up and came just under £40 though I'm pretty sure it was a sale price. 



I frequently get complimented when I wear the perfume, usually from women who want to know where they can get it :-) 

Right now on The Perfume Shop a 50ml bottle costs £46.50 which is quite expensive, so when I run out I will be waiting for it to go on sale before I re-purchase. 

All in all this is a lovely perfume and lasts a great time on the skin, to me its a very romantic perfume, quite sexy in its own way and has lovely packaging. With a little Lancome Rose tied around the cap and the clear to purple colouring of the bottle, its a treasure to have on my night stand :-) 

What's your favourite perfume at the moment?

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
