My Perfume Collection

I seem to have collected quite a few perfumes over the past few years, some I have used up and thrown away but these are the ones in my current collection...




1. Alien By Thierry Mugler

Description:
Distinctive and mysterious, yet comforting and soft, Alien by Thierry Mugler conveys passion sensuality and the essence of absolute femininity.
A rich floral woody amber containing jasmine sambac, cashmeran wood and white amber it is a fragrance whose magic trails awakens your emotions.
A scent like no other it is irresistibly appealing and totally out of this world.

My Thoughts:
This is by a mile one of my favourite scents ever. I only use it for evenings though and the occasional sprit through the day as I dont want to use it all up, as I feel its rather expensive.

10/10



2. Emporio Armani Diamonds

Description:
The sensory blend is a surprising gourmand fragrance to give a stone a flavour and to a woman a self confident and audacious feeling.
The rose, a symbol of femininity is made edible and succulent through the addition of a touch of litchi and raspberry.

My Thoughts
This is, again, one of my favourite evening fragrances. I get a lot of compliments when I wear this, it just feels and smells expensive and classy and makes you feel like youre fully dressed up.

10/10



3. Mi Amor By Next

I cant find a description of this, the Next website doesnt appear to have it anymore so Ill just give my opinion.

My Thoughts:
I personally really like Next's scents. I have tried three (Mi Amor, Paradise and Cashmere) and really love them all. Granted they dont last long, but at around £8 a bottle they have really good scents and you cant really go wrong! I have long since used the others up but this one stays strong. If Next have stopped stocking this it may be here a while because I do  quite like it and dont want it to run out. It is a rather sensual, night time scent, and I find that I only really wear this in winter times. I do wear it less often now I have a bigger collection but it is a good cheap alternative if you cant really afford the designer brands. I would definately recommend!

7/10




4. Kylie Minogue Darling

Description
Sensual, sweet, seductive, strong, glamorous and delicate in equal measures Kylie is irresistible. Kylie Darling the fragrance encapsulates the essence of Kylie. Kylie's outstanding qualities are reflected in one fabulous fragrance. An evocative, enticing essence called Darling, representing the richness, sensuality and glamour that is Kylie Minogue.

My Thoughts
As soon as I smelt this I fell in love. Its very safe, but very unusual at the same time. When I wear it I always catch a whiff of it and its jsut so nice. It feels floral but in a different way to others. Im nearly finished my bottle and I think Ill buy another.

8/10




5. Celine Dion Chic

Description:
Notes of aquatic greens, watermelon, peony, drenched gardenia, lotus flower, green violet, blond woods, sandalwood, amber and musk.

My Thoughts:
I have to say, Ive only used this perfume twice, and I really dislike it. It smells like cucumber to be honest. I can tell theres the watermelon and all of those "fresh" kind of scents, but I cant see where theres any amber and musk at all. I got this as a christmas gift and I hate to be ungrateful but I think I will be passing this on to a friend, as I know Ill never use it. Its not feminine enough for my liking, and it just smells like Ive rubbed a salad on my skin.

3/10




6. Christina Aguilera By Night

Description:
An expression of sensuality and femininity, the fragrance captures the experience of a woman pampering herself in anticipation of a special night, and was created to celebrate the moments when a woman wants to feel confident and glamorous.

My Thoughts:
As I love the original Christina Aguilera fragrance, I ran out to superdrug when I heard this was out to have a sniff and it was instantly added to my Christmas list. It is similar to the original but even more sensual and a definate evening fragrance. My boyfriend loves this probably more than me, it just smells gorgeous and fills you up with confidence. However it could be a little heavy for some, and it is definately only a night time fragrance.

9/10



7. Anna Sui Secret Wish Magic Romance

Description:

Like the mystical spell of romance, the scent is a constantwhirlwind of emotion - fresh, sexy, sensual and caressing -expressing the tender thrill of first love.
A soft kiss of Lemon, Melon, Bergamot and Orange Blossom lifts the spirits, warming to Jasmine, Lotus Blossom, Coconut andAmber.
Musk adds a final note of irresistible sensuality.

My Thoughts:
This is a bit of a nothing fragrance to me, its not amazing, its not awful, its just an average floral fragrance which Ill use on days when Im not really bothering with doing much. I got this as a gift, otherwise I would never have bought it myself as it doesnt really stand out to me at all.

4/10



8. Mariah Carey M

Description:
Etheral. Magical. Feminine.
A harmony of sparkling Bellini, velvety pink peony and warm sunkissed woods. Mariah Carey's fragrance is a luscious blend of notes as enveloping as her voice.

My Thoughts:
This would never have caught my eye in a store, its just so typical celeb fragrance looking. But I got this as a gift, and Im actually nearly finished the bottle. Its a perfect summery fragrance, fresh juicy and floral, but not boring. I feel good wearing this on a day to day basis and I think I might buy it again.

8/10

9. Ghost Sweetheart

Description:
An enchanting new feminine fragrance to capture the fresh, spontaneous spirit of sweet, new love.
Love is in the air, beguiling you with the tender-sweet innocence of new, young love. Feminine, sensual and enchanting, GHOST Sweetheart is a modern oriental floral fragrance that touches the spirit of today's young, romantic woman.

My Thoughts:
This was bought for me as a gift when my Mam went on holiday, I fell in love with it. It is a very fresh and young fragrance which I think would suit either day or evening. I used this as my only perfume in Gran Canaria with David so I have lovely holiday memories associated wth this perfume. It has become a bit of a tradition for my Mam to bring me back a bottle of this everytime she goes away, and I use it probably the most out of any of my perfumes, so Im now onto my third bottle in the space of a year and half! Its so feminine and lovely its just perfect for the summer too.

10/10

10. Christina Aguilera

Description:
Christina Aguilera, the eponymous fragrance from one of the worlds favourite stars, is set to ignite confidence, sensuality and seduction in women across the UK.

My Thoughts:
Ive had about 5 bottles of this, it remind sme of whenI first started going out, this was my evening scent. Its very sensual, sexy and musky but its just gorgeous and I cant get enough of it even now. I love how cheap it is too. This scent will always rekindle nice memories for me

10/10



11. Lacoste Touch of Pink

Description:
Lacoste Touch of Pink is a fruity-floral which captures the essence of a woman full of youthful sensuality. A real classic for a woman who are young yet grown-up, classic yet modern, innocent yet knowing. Her femininity shines from within and her unique charm is as compelling as it is captivating.

My Thoughts:
This is one of the first "proper" fragrances I ever had, I got it as a gift at Christmas when I was around 14. It always reminds me of being young, and at school, but I still enjoy wearing it now on summers days its very fresh and such an easy fragrance to wear. Ive since had about four bottles of this and it really is one of my go-to perfumes even now.

8/10



12. Miss Dior Cherie

Description:
Miss Dior Cherie has top notes of green tangerine and strawberry leaves. The Heart notes of Miss Dior Cherie is violette, pink jasmine, carmelized popcorn, and strawberry sorbet. Base notes of fresh patchouli and crystalline musk.

My Thoughts:
I got this as a Prom gift from my Dad, who used to have his own cosmetics lines sold in Selfridges and Boots. So he knew this was a beautiful scent years ago. This was way before all the hype came around it when they relaunced it with a new bottle, I have the old school bottle which is still pretty, but not as good as the new one. The scent is exactly the same and I have always loved it. It feels very up market, and its very distinctive. I only use ths on special occassions as you can see, I dont want to waste it on day to day life.

9/10



13. Jennifer Lopez Live

Description:
This fragrance is about living for the moment, about feeling truly free. A truly floral oriental fragrance, with notes of Italian orange, Redcurrant and Caramel.

My Thoughts:
I got this the same time I got Touch of Pink, and again this reminds me of my first times I ever went to proper parties and nights out. Its very much a night time fragrance, and it has a very distinctive scent which I could pick out a mile off. Im still on my first bottle of this because it is quite strong and a little goes a long way. I will miss it when  run out but Im not sure I would repurchase as theres loads of others I have to use up.
