My Top 5 Favorite Perfumes
Friday, July 22, 2016
Hey girls, after a few days of playing Pokémon Go, I'm back today with a post about perfume. I picked out my 5 favorite perfumes of all time out of my collection. I usually don't use specific perfumes in a specific season, I wear them all year round. You'll notice in this post that I prefer floral scents. I just love flowers and their scents. I'm also a sucker for beautiful perfume bottles and love how all of these look. I searched descriptions on the websites of the brand, but will also include a personal review.

Hello sweeties. How are you all doing? I'm currently doing an internship at a resting home as an occupational therapist. It's fun, but at the end of the day I'm very tired. Tonight, I'm having a nice, relaxing evening and that means: blogging! I'm here today with a review on the Fossil perfume called '1954'. I got this last weekend at the Fossil Outlet in Maasmechelen Village. I've seen this one in the stores a lot, but I never picked it up until now.
P.S.: for those of you waiting for the third part of my Essie collection, it's coming soon!
They have a female and male version of this perfume. I got the male version for my dad's birthday this year. I liked the scent a lot and he was born in the year 1954 so I thought it was a fun and unique gift.

Hi sweeties! Last week and in the weekend, I decided to go to the mall near my home town to buy some Christmas presents! I also found some things for myself, because a lot of stores were having sales. I got some things from the body shop (there is a bit of a dramatic story behind this), Kruidvat and Di.

Hi, my lovely ladies! Today, I wanted to show you guys the new 'Honey Mania' eau de toilette by The Body Shop. When I saw Essiebutton's review on this line, I knew I had to try out the perfume. Little fact: I love the smell of honey, but I don't like eating it at all.

Hey everyone, today I'm posting part 2 of my perfume collection. These are the perfumes I keep at home in Brussels. These are also the ones I use less than the ones in Ghent. But they are still good! ;)
It was a bit more difficult to find desciptions of these perfumes, but two of them were already limited edition scents by a clothing store. I did my best to find descriptions or made them myself (pretty horrible :p)
1) Red Delicious by DKNY
Perfume composed of apple note surrounded with violet leaves becomes sweeter with a glittering start thanks to a splendid bouquet beautifully harmonized leaving us under the impression of having a real, juicy, ripe apple in front of us. Red and white bottle still looks like an apple perfectly matching the tantalizing character of this fragrance.
Notes:
champagne, lychee, raspberry, apple, rose, amber, musk and vanilla.
I love all the DKNY fragrances, as you can may have noticed. This one has a softer apple scent then the green bottle. I like it a lot, it smells great. I wish I wore this more often.
2) Fuel for life by Diesel
This perfume was created by two ‘noses for perfumes’, Annick Menardo and Thierry Vasseur, who enriched the top notes with fresh mandarin and a touch of pink pepper. The heart is dominated by sweet and clear jasmine, decorated with nutmeg notes, while the base fondles with sensual notes of musk and patchouli. Use with caution !
And yes, you must use this with caution. It's a very heavy fragrance. The heaviest I own and it's my least favorite. It just doens't fit me, which I was bummed about because I like the smell :(
I also noticed that my dog acts very strange whenever I wear this, he gets a little agressive and crazy... I think it's because it's such a strong scent :/
3) Oh my Cherry by ZARA
A sweet, everyday scent by Zara. I got the rollerbal bottle, which is perfect to take with you. I'm not sure this is still available, but I really like it. It's a subtle, sweet, little bit fruity scent!
4) Music by Harajuku lovers
Harajuku Lovers collection includes fragrances , Lil' Angel, Music, Love, Baby and G, and each of them is devoted to one of her back vocals, Harajuku Girls, reflecting their fashion and life styles, while one represents her.
The scent of Music is charismatic and brings joy. The top notes bring fresh aromas of peach and clementine, the heart blends floral notes of jasmine sambac, sweet pea and honeysuckle. The base introduces vanilla, musk, and woodsy accords.
I really like this one, it's a very cute bottle and a great daytime scent.
5) Love Island by Pimkie
This was just a limited edition summer fragrance by a clothing store called Pimkie. It smells very fruity and sweet, which I loved a lot 4 years ago. To be honest, this one is very old and I haven't used it in a long time.
What's your favorite perfume?

Hey everyone, I thought it might be a fun idea to show you guys my perfume collection. I keep the biggest part of my collection in Ghent, where I live during the week for my studies. I also have a few at home. I will talk about those in a different blogpost because this one is going to be VERY long. The ones in Ghent are my favorites and whenever I go home for a while (like spring break) I take one or two perfumes with me. I will add descriptions of each perfume, so you can have a idea of what it smells like. I found most of the descriptions on the Sephora website.
1. Daisy by Marc Jacobs.
Enter the world of Daisy: fresh and feminine, with a playful innocence. At the heart of Daisy is a floral with vintage edge: violet. Sophisticated, with a touch of whimsy, violet captures the eclectic, vintage flavor of Marc Jacobs' feminine, edgy designs. Always elegant, always enchanting. Daisy is a sparkling floral bouquet, spirited and fresh, wrapped in comfort and warmth.
Notes:
Strawberry, Violet Leaves, Ruby Red Grapefruit, Gardenia, Violet Petals, Jasmine Petals, Musk, Vanilla, White Woods.
This one is my all time favorite perfume. It smells so good, I can't even describe it. The description above pretty much covers it. It is feminine, fresh, warm, elegant. It smells like flowers but not too much. I would recommend it to everyone, it's just the perfect perfume.
2. Be Delicious by DKNY (very tiny bottle)
A modern feast for the senses. Served in a sleek metal and glass apple bottle, this juicy fragrance combines the scent of apple with a sophisticated blend of exotic flowers and sensual woods.
Notes:
American Apple, Cucumber, Grapefruit, Candid Magnolia, Tuberose, White Muguet, Rose, Violet, Sandalwood, Tender Skin Accord, Blonde Woods, White Amber.
This is a perfume that I always recognize immediately when someone wears it. The famous apple perfume. I think you can't go wrong with this. It's fresh and fruity, it's a lovely smell
3. Femme by Hugo Boss
The new interpretation of femininity, a floral sheer oriental fragrance that represents ultra feminine beauty. Complimentary ingredients form a radiant cloud of sophisticated femininity. The fresh citrus tangerine note lifts the emotions, preparing the senses for the floral bouquet. The Freesia note carries the luminous scent of Stephanotis and Oriental Lily. These notes are further heightened by Rose petals for a radiating floral aura of utmost femininity. Boss Femme perfume exudes a fortification of the aura with a creamy musk like accord gives the scent a silky smooth finish. (not on sephora website)
Notes:
Apricot, Tangerine, Rose, Blackcurrant, LemonWood, Freesia, Jasmine
Another feminine smell. One of my friends has this one as well and it's her signature scent. When I smelled it, I loved it! I think it fits me not as good as her, but I still like it.
4. Apple Delight (Pomme Délice) by Yves Rocher
This was a limited edition smell by Yves Rocher, last Fall/Winter. It smells like sweet, spiced apples. I bought the little bottle of this. Because it was limited edition, you can't find a lot about it on the internet. It smells great, I think this a great scent for the fall and winter time.
5. The Beat by Burburry
Burberry The Beat Eau de Toilette is youthful, feminine, fresh, and elegant. It is a sparkling blend of unexpected notes that expresses the unique personality of the Burberry woman. She is naturally bright and luminous.
Notes:
Bergamot, Cardamom, Pink Pepper, Mandarin, Iris, Bluebell, Ceylon Tea, White Musk, Vetiver, Cedarwood.Style:Stylish. Sensual. Energetic.
Again, I don't use this enough. It's a great fragrance, very fresh and a bit citrussy. Perfect daytime perfume, in my opinion!
6. Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
Sexy, fresh Oriental fragrance recalls the irrepressible spirit of the young Coco Chanel. An elegant, luxurious spray closest in strength and character to the parfum form. The signature Classic Bottle is perfect for the dressing table or for traveling. Spray lightly morning and evening on pulse points at the throat and wrist.
Notes:
Orange, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Litchi, Rose, Italian Jasmine, Indonesian Patchouli, Bourbon Vanilla, White Musk
A very heavy, sexy, seductive scent, in my opinion. I like to wear this when I go out. It's a grown up scent, but not too old.
7. Maroccan Rose by The Body Shop
The perfume intoxicates with aromas of Moroccan rose enriched with lemon oil, vanilla, spices and musk.
This is the only description I could find of this perfume. This is now replaced by the 'Atlas Mountain Rose' line, I think. On both the english and dutch website, this perfume is not available anymore.
This is a very strong rose scent. I love it, but I never use a lot of it because it can quickly become too heavy. If you would still find this at stores and you are a rose scent addict, don't hesitate. You won't be disappointed.
8. Golden Delicious by DKNY
DKNY Golden Delicious glistens with a glamorous burst of succulent orange flower water. The heart beats deeper with floral touches of white rose and muguet flower. In the base, musk, sandalwood, and teakwood blend together, lending a warm, lasting touch of sensuality. And, of course, the scent of Golden Delicious apple provides an elegant and memorable character that shines throughout the life of the scent.
Notes:
Orange Flower Water, Mirabelle, Golden Delicious Apple, White Rose, Casablanca Lily, Vanilla Orchid, Muguet, Musk, Sandalwood, and Teakwood.
I like this one, but I don't use it a lot. It smells less like apples to me (which is not a bad thing, the DKNY perfumes have to be different of course). I think I'll try to use this more, because I actually really like the scent of it.
So these are the perfumes I keep in Ghent. I'll do a part 2 soon, talking about the perfumes I keep at home. I hope you liked this post and if you have any questions about the perfumes, don't hesitate to ask!
What's your favorite perfume?
