Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black Perfume

I'm slowly going through my first ever Sephora haul, so here's another gem, the Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black perfume.

diptyque Eau Duelle

The Essie Button Effect is real people! I'm not even kidding, right after watching Estee's October Beauty Favourites video where she talked about the amazing scent that is the diptyque Eau Duelle perfume, I had this legit overpowering urge to rush out to the nearest mall that stocked diptyque just to smell it for myself.... and I did.

D&G 3 L'Imperatrice Perfume

I've had my nose on the D&G 3 L'Imperatrice for years... and it's taken me years to finally buy it. You know how it goes...too many perfumes, too little time! I first found out about it from a friend and at the time, it was her Scent for the Year. Do any of you do that too? Just have one signature scent for the year/till its last drop? 

Jo Malone Limited Edition Elderflower and Gooseberry Cologne (Sugar & Spice Collection)

The recently launched limited edition Sugar & Spice Collection from Jo Malone comprises of five fragrances that embodies what I can only describe as "yummmmm.......". The scents are as follows... brace yourselves because you may likely be mentally transported to the Land of Yummmmm... Bitter Orange & Chocolate - a very sweet and almost smells like it could be edible dark chocolate laced with orange peel scent, Redcurrant & Cream - a slightly musky sweet fruity summer scent, Ginger Biscuit - literally smells like a ginger biscuit, Lemon Tart - refreshing citrus-y fruity scent, and last but not least, the one that I instantly knew I wanted to check out just from reading its name - Elderflower & Gooseberry! Key word here being elderflower... I LOVE elderflower. The scent described on the Jo Malone website:

"A voluptuous gooseberry fool. Crushed, summer-green gooseberries, juicy with lychee, enfolded into the soft delicacy of elderflower. Tender and feminine."

My Insolence by Guerlain

Another perfume rediscovery from my perfume stash... Guerlain's My Insolence Eau de Toilette! The notes include raspberry, jasmine, almond blossom, vanilla, patchouli, and tonka bean. It's a very sweet and feminine with a slight powdery-ness to it, I don't find the scent overpowering ...it's actually quite soft and pleasant once it has settled. Excuse my poor sense of describing scents! I've been loving this for day and night, it lasts for hours on me and I can still smell it the next day on my clothing or scarves.

Love by Chloe

I got Love by Chloe as a Christmas gift from a friend when the perfume first came out and I liked it when I tested it out on those tester paper thingys (What are they called?), but since getting it and trying it on my skin I found it too strong for me so I've left it alone for quite a while. But recently, I decided to give it another chance and I've decided that I quite like it for the Autumn/Winter months. The notes include orange blossom, pink pepper, iris, lilac, hyacinth, wisteria blossom, powdery musks, talc and rice powder. In simpler words, the perfume is very feminine, sensual and sophisticated with a mostly powdery floral scent. I think what I didn't like about this perfume at first was the overall powdery scent, it's quite strong I must say! I personally found it too strong as an every day perfume. However, I'm currently loving it and have been wearing it every day. I spray this once on my wrists, rub them together and then rub my wrists on both sides of my neck...and one spray is all you need! The powdery scent does die down after several hours and you get more of a sensual floral scent. It's an eau de parfum...and being so strong...the scent stays on for the whole day!

Have you tried Love by Chloe? If yes, what do you think of it?

Escentric Molecules - Molecule 01 Perfume

Escentric Molecules - Molecule 01

A few months ago, a lot of my favourite bloggers were raving about a perfume that is formulated to react with your own natural pheromones to create your very own individual scent. This unique scent is so unique that apparently people will be hunting you down just to ask you what scent it is.... okay, maybe not that extreme but there's a high chance you will get complimented and asked about the scent! Being an avid perfume collector, my fingers were itching to try it for myself.

Top 5 Favourite Perfumes

L-R: Miss Dior Cherie, Davidoff Cool Water, Givenchy Very Irresistible, Anna Sui Dreams, Chloe

My perfume collection is probably one of my biggest and most favourite beauty-related collections, aside from my blush collection. I have been collecting perfumes since I was 12, some of which I bought and some that were gifts. Over the years, this collection has just grown and I've lost count of how many I own because I have some with me in London, some in Hong Kong and some in Nigeria...but I reckon it's definitely over 30. For this post, I've picked out my Top 5 favourite perfumes of all time and they are ones that I will repurchase for as long as they still exist.

Glossybox: The Harrods Edition

This month's Glossybox is a collaboration with UK's famous luxury brand department store Harrods. If you received last month's Glossybox, you may recall getting a little card with a link to a 'mystery box'. Days leading onto the revelation of the mystery box, Glossybox released daily clues which eventually spelt out the word: KNIGHTSBRIDGE; and then the mystery box was revealed! Before I got my box I had already had a sneak peek of the box from reading a few of my favourite blogs, so I was eagerly awaiting the box and I can fairly say that I'm not disappointed.
