Marc Jacobs Decadence Perfume

Decadence* is like nothing I've ever smelt before from Marc Jacobs. His most popular scents are usually girly & sweet while Decadence is distinctly sexy & sophisticated.

Ted Baker Sweet Treat Purse Spray 'Mia'

I always carry a perfume in my handbag no matter how much they weigh down my bag, it's a sacrifice I make for being a true girlie girl. So when I received this oh so cute bottle of perfume by Ted Baker I was thrilled & so were my aching shoulders!!

Ted Baker have a range of small Eau De Toilettes that are stocked in Boots, I own 'Mia'.

Mia is described ; "With an irresistible blend of warmth, charm and allure, she is every girls best friend. A soft floral fragrance of rose blossoms and freesias and combined with sparkling top notes of fresh lemon, raspberry and black currant with a seductive base of warm patchouli and golden amber." 

If your a fan of soft sweet floral fragrances Mia is definitely worth a sniff next time you're in Boots. As much as I love roses I am not a fan of their scent, so when I hear 'rose blossom' my mind automatically thinks 'older woman's out dated perfume' but I can assure you this smells nothing like that. The soft sweetness of raspberry & golden amber really make this a beautiful fragrance that I really do like. For such a light scent it really lingers & has great lasting power.

The little sheer pink bottle is so darn cute, topped off with an opalescent jem stone engraved with the initials TB (ooo fancy). It holds 10m of perfume. 

I love this little thing & it is now my perfect handbag perfume.

My Perfume Collection

Yesterday I was having a tidy through my room & my perfume collection had a little revamp, now being displayed on a cute Cath Kidston cake display. So I thought this would be a perfect time to share with you my perfume collection.

Jimmy Choo - I'm going to start off with one of my favourite perfumes of the bunch Jimmy Choo Perfume. It is a very unique & feminine scent, sweet but not overpoweringly so as it has a rich woody depth to it. This perfume is glamour in a bottle. Perfect for day or night.

Flash By Jimmy Choo - It would seem that I love Jimmy Choo perfumes because my second most reached for perfume is 'Flash' by Jimmy Choo. A deeper scent than the original Jimmy Choo perfume but just as sensual. It has a crisp clean scent that again has a very woody depth to it. The professionals say the fragrance comprises of a bouquet of white lily, tuberose and jasmine, which sits upon base notes of heliotrope and blonde wood, for a rich and sensual body.

See By Chloe - A warm floral scent with a slight sweetness to it. This is the type of scent I wouldn't pick out for myself but luckily it was gifted to me to try out & I actually do really like it & reach for it quite often as it is such a light & easy fragrance to wear.  it is a warm floral scent & with a slight sweetness to it.

Oriental By Zara - I did not know perfume dupes existed until I smelt 'Oriental' by Zara Woman. Narciso Rodriguez for her is my all all allllll time favourite perfume & I used to fork out £70 a bottle for it, not any more though. Oriental is an exact dupe, neither of the perfumes have great staying power but I just love the scent. A sensual musk in its centre, surrounded by amber & woody notes with hints of vanilla & a slight fruity floral kick. If I could live & die in one scent this would be it.

Miss Dior By Dior - This is a very strong scented perfume, at one point I really did love it but now it's a bit to overpowering for me.  A fresh floral & fruity scent with a hint of citrus & musk. The staying power of this perfume is amazing, it will last me nearly all day.

Belle d`Opium By Yves Saint Laurent - This is the scent all women should have, subtle yet seductive It smells of pure luxury. At first it's quite musky & then settles into a deep fruity scent. This is probably the hardest scent to describe but trust me when I say you need to try this perfume out. The staying power is amazing & purple oriental influenced bottle is stunning. This perfume in one word, luxurious.

Coco Mademoiselle By Chanel - as you can tell from the bottle, this is a much loved perfume. A strong sensual deep floral jasmine-rose accord, perfect scent for the evening but for me to strong to wear in the day time. As you would expect from any Chanel fragrance the staying power is brilliant. The amber peach shade bottle is beautiful & as you can see mine has nearly run out so I will be sad to see this bottle go.

Amber Romance By Victoria Secret - Lastly my perfect handbag eau de toilette. As you may have been able to tell from the rest of my perfume collection I do love a musky scent & Amber Romance is no exception. A strong scent of crème anglaise with a hint of vanilla and the tiniest note of musk, definitely a more mature scent. This is a small 30ml bottle that is perfect for my handbag.

See By Chloe Eau de Parfum.

I love wearing perfume, a beautiful scent will set me in a good mood for the day ahead so I always make sure I spritz myself before I head out the front door.




I was lucky enough to be gifted a perfume quite different from what I usually go for 'See by Chloe*'.
Now I am not the best at describing scents but I will give a darn hard try & if you girlies happen to like this review then I can review some of my other perfumes. 

One spritz on the wrist & right off the bat I can tell you it is a warm floral scent & with a slight sweetness to it. 

Sweet & floral scents I normally stay clear of, but there's something about this scent that just works for me, maybe because its nice & light. Not a heavy or intense floral at all.


Here's what the professionals have to say - The fragrance reveals an addictivefloral scent. Like a sweet smile, the first sparkling notes of bergamot stir the senses. In an accord of apple blossom, the grace of jasmine caresses this natural seductress. An olfactory game of hide and seek uncovers sensual notes ofsandalwood and vanilla. 

Well that sounds fancy doesn't it!


And in layman's terms it's simply a warm pretty floral fragrance. 

The bottle itself is quite beautiful, & apparently inspired by vintage bird cages.
So in conclusion if like me you like deeper scents & want to try something newthis may be a good starting place for you & if you like floral scents then defo douse yourself in this next time your out perfume shopping.

See By Chloe is available as 30, 50 and 75 ml ranging from £35 to £64 in Eau de Parfum.

Victoria Secret - Amber Romance

Pretty much anything that comes from America I want, the bright lights of U.S.A draw me in every time. So when Victoria secrets arrived in England I was soooooo excited. What girl doesn't love Victoria secrets, the bedazzled bras, the pink striped decor, the beautiful scents, the sickeningly beautiful models, I couldn't wait to buy into it! 

So my first buy & my favourite scent ever since is Amber Romance.

Victoria Secret describe the scent as; A seductive, warm fragrance. Ignite an Amber Romance, a sensual embrace of sultry amber and crème anglaise. Experience the luxury of fragrance. Refreshing formula is infused with conditioning aloe vera and calming chamomile.

Personally I can really smell the crème anglaise, I would say it has a hint of vanilla and the tiniest note of musk too, it's definitely a more mature scent.

I first bought The Amber Romance Fragrance Mist. It gives a light mist, that can be sprayed all over the body. Honestly I wouldn't say the fragrance mist lasts very long on me alone, roughly about 2 hours. 

Soooo I double up the scent with the 'hydrating body lotion'. Which contains Aloe, Oat & grapeseed extracts, plus antioxidant vitamin E & C with a fast absorbing formula. The lotion absorbs nicely into my skin leaving a long lasting scent.

Yet this still wasn't enough for me, I needed more Amber Romance in my life. I went back & bought the eau de toilette & this lasts me all day & the bottle is small enough to pop in your bag. Oh I just love it so, it smells like heaven in a bottle.

 

There is always a 5 products for £25 promotion on lotions and scents in store.
