My perfume collection



Yes these two perfumes make up my "collection". Quite pathetic isn't it? Truth be told I am not a big perfume wearer and I fall out of favour with scents very quickly. There comes a point where I can't stand to smell my own perfume on myself but these are the only ones which have survived my many purges.

Miracle by Lancôme (Top Notes: Freesia, Lychee Heart notes: Magnolia Base notes: Jasmine, Amber)

I don't think this is a very well known perfume? I discovered this via a sample when I was 19 and it is the only one I will buy over and over again because it holds so many good memories (it's funny how scent can be a trigger). There are a few other versions out there but this is the best. I consider this to be my signature scent but it only really comes out on special occasions as I'm scared I'll get sick of it.

Alien by Thierry Mugler (Top Notes: Mandarin Essence Heart Notes: Moroccan Jasmine Base Notes: White Amber, Cashmeran Wood)

A Christmas gift from my colleagues and something I don't think I would have picked out myself but I love it. It's very much a winter scent and I feel so grown up and glamorous wearing this. I like to spritz this on my coat and it lasts for ages but on bare skin it fades nicely to something subtle.

My past collection has included D&G Light Blue, Hugo Boss Femme, CK Be, Paul Smith Flower, Paco Rabanne Black XS, Moschino Cheap & Chic, Moschino I Love Love and Lolita Lempicka. All of which have been passed onto my mum and sister. I find it hard choosing new perfumes as I'm always changing my mind but the two I really like at the moment are Stella McCartney's L.I.L.Y and Love Chloe. I also love Chanel (Chance is my favourite) but so do a lot of people! I can't be the only one who doesn't like smelling like everyone else? I remember my first year of college when Kenzo Flower came out and even though I really liked it I didn't buy it because every girl wore it. I think the current popular scent is Lady Million? Another really nice one.

So what's in your current collection? And what is your signature scent?

    I love that you only have two perfumes in your collection! I'm such a hoarder but truth be told I only have 3-4 favourites that I always use x

      I'm terrible when it comes to wearing perfume, I get told off by the Mr for smelling like nothing. I only really wear it on social occasions so no point in having loads :) xx

      I've never smelled a Jo Malone perfume before to be honest. Are they only available on department stores? xx

    I have to agree with you! MIRACLE is definitely a scent that triggers memories! Perfume buddies?. It's pricey but SO worth it.

      Oh no another Miracle wearer ;) it's not expensive here in the UK, around £30 for 50ml which is quite reasonable compared to most others xx

    I don't think it's pathetic that there are only two perfumes in your collection as I have way too many - still not that much - and I'm sure I won't be able to use them all up before they expire...

    That "alien" bottle looks awesome!

      Do perfumes really "go off"? My mum has perfumes that are about 15yrs old! xx

    I have a quite small collection of scents which have been gifted or more rather 'passed off on me' by my family - nothing expensive though. My most used fragrance to date has been Cabotine Gres - it reminds me of the outdoors and unlike some of my other perfumes its not too strong on me. With that said I am hoping to go perfume shopping after I finish my small stash - so fragrance spritzing has become an everyday thing:D!!

    I really love Alien tho I generally tend to get Vanilla type of scents. To be honest, my perfume collection is also quite small compared to some others. I generally have about 2-4.

    Btw, love your blog. Would you like to follow each other? <3

    I don't know if you have Banana republic in England but I am a huge fan of Modern. When I was little my mom gave me the modern perfume becuase she wears their classic perfume. Also anthropologie has the best perfumes
