Favourite Scents




"Perfume - a fragrant liquid typically made from essential oils extracted from flowers and spices"


I just love that word, its comes across so elegant and reminds me of a 50's dressing room with pink interior, powder puffs and the old fashion atomiser perfume bottles scattered amongst the dressing table. It's amazing on how perfume has developed over the years, with so many different elements infused into one bottle its stunning to think they all create that finale scent.


Stella, Viktor & Rolf, Bronze Goddess and Dolce & Gabbana



Stella McCartney - Launched in 2003 this is my newest perfume which has made its way into my collection. With top notes of rose, peony and mandarin essence; middle notes of rose absolute and base notes of amber, this perfume most definitely makes you feel feminine  and modern. 

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb - A floral explosion in a bottle, this scent leaves addictive floral notes on your skin. Key ingredients are centifolia rose, India osmanthus, catleya orchid, sambac jasmine. A scent which will gets heads turning as you walk past, I love it. 

Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess - A seasonal inappropriate scent to be wearing in the winter, this whisks you away to a dreamy Hawaiian beach, drinking cocktails under a palm tree. It really is summer in a bottle. A blend of bergamot and mandarin, cooled with Tahitian gardenia petals and coconut, warmed with amber, sandalwood and votive. (Limited Edition Summer Scent)

Dolce & Gabbana Pour Femme - A passionate, sensual and seductive scent, this is one of my all time favourites. With top notes of Neroli and raspberry, heart notes of jasmine and orange blossom and base notes of marshmallow accord and vanilla. A very sweet girly perfume.
