scented sense

Every blog has to have a scent post. well this is my turn.

Here I will show my top 5 scents I adore &yet to be collected.

I always want to be one of those girls who keeps to one scent for easy recognition, but now there are just numerous little trinkets of bottles with ah-mazing features, that I can no longer resist. So I have decided to start collecting and use for different occasions. It will definitely look oh-so charming on my dressing table.

1. all-rounder
Eau De Parfum Chloé
a scent of traditional rose. now who would not want to smell like roses? It is such an everyday smell, both for daytime and evening.
&the bottle, no need for explanation. It's all there, petite, soft pink ribbed ribbon - such an iconic look.

2. attraction

Her Eau De Parfum Narciso Rodriguez 

a musky scent that will dig into your skin and last forever. one of the sexiest perfumes rated by men. it's a i-am-on-the-prowl-tonight!

"a precious  thing encased  in architecture" - Narciso Rodriguez

This has been my all-time favourite, it's a ..always have, always been for me. I would without doubt use this as an all-rounder as well, but more of an evening wear.

3. playful

Eau De Toilette Daisy Marc Jacobs

think a fruit basket of strawberries, grapefruits and apples with violet and jasmine petals.

Use this for a play-date at the park or even before going for a morning/afternoon jog. it'll help with the awkward moment when you're ordering a cup of coffee when the barista can smell you, or..when you're heading back up into the apartment and having to share an elevator with a few businessmen.

4. girly-princessy

Eau De Toilette Princess Vera Wang

fruits &flowers with a hint of vanilla, such  a sweet, sweet delicate scent.

ladies, who have not thought for a second they wished to be a princess? i know I have. this perfume is perfect when you're feeling a little extra special! (princess special, that is), when you've just been spoilt. about to head to a hens night, baby shower, shopping spree. anything that screams out laces, florals, picket white fence, floppy hats and tea parties. the days when you're oh-so let's-play-dress-up! 

5. the classic

Eau De Parfum Chanel No.5

it's a classic. of course this would be in the top five.

we're all familiar with the name, but not many actually have smelt it. does it resemble Gabrielle Chanel? I'm still having thoughts on that.

floral and feminine. it comes in various shapes and sizes as its renewed over and over again. but as it is an icon, i would  definitely purchase the original. it's a symbol of elegance and luxury for women. the bottle may be very simple - clear transparent square bottle with a - what it looks like - white sticker indicating the words Chanel, No. 5, Paris, Eau De Parfum. honestly, it's not the most desirable bottle but it is a must for perfume collectors.

as said previously, perfumes will be used as occasions meaning a different outfit for a different scent. next post? outfits and scents that go hand in hand.
