Perfume Diaries

I was never one of those people who had a signature scent although I appreciate the ones that do. I can name a handful of friends and the scents that they have been wearing for years. I can smell that they have been in the elevator when I enter and I can smell them before I enter a room.

Me? I am a perfume chameleon. I have never bought the same bottle twice and with all the perfume on the market who could blame me?

Here is my perfume diary!

 
1. Dolce&Gabbana Light Blue: One of my first perfumes!
I remember wearing this in high-school, fresh and light!

Notes: Sicilian Citron, Bluebell, Granny Smith Apple, Jasmine Sambac, Bamboo, White Rose, Cedarwood, Amber, Musk.

2. Cacharel: Amor Amor: After buying this all of my friends had to get it! The perfect balance of fruity sweetness!

Notes: Mandarin, Black Currant, Melati Blossom, Lily of the Valley, White Musk, Grey Amber

 3. Marc Jacobs: It took me a while to get through this bottle, I savored every drop. Loved it while it lasted then moved on to my next perfume victim!

Notes: Gardenia, Wild Muguet, Skin Musk, Cedar, Ginger.

4. Moschino: Glamour: Yet another fragrance that was swiped by friends and stopped in the streets for the brand. I bought it last year with birthday money and just sprayed the last of it! 

Notes: Mandarin Orange, Neroli, Bergamot, Orange Blossom, Apple, Pear, Rose, Musk, Petit Grain and Cedar

 5. Marc Jacobs: Daisy: I bought this the day it came out. One moment I was at Bloomingdales getting a sample spray the next moment I was sold! 

Notes:  Violet Leaves, White Woods, Strawberry, Gardenia, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Jasmine Petals, Vanilla, Musk

6. Costume National Scent Sheer It was not too long ago that I rummaged the city to get my hands on one of these bottles (check here!). Thankfully my mission was accomplished, I went through this bottle like water! The perfect scent for everyday. 

Notes:  White Amber, Apricot Nectar, Hibiscus Blossom, Musk

7. GIVENCHY: Play Intense: I've got to hand it to Givenchy, first the ads attracted my attention by thoughtfully casting Justin Timberlake as their male model. Second, the smell is intensely amazing! Third, with a description like this who wouldn't want to give it a try!" Imagining a woman who is naturally seductive and ready for life's surprises, the original sparkling composition, already seductive and surprising, was intensified to astonish and captivate" 

Notes: Orange Blossom, Amyris Wood, Tiare Flower, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Benzoin.
