Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet. It’s on my Christmas wish list lol.
It’s got to be Paloma Picasso! I saw a bottle at Shopper’s for $19.99 – I couldn’t believe it. Of course, there was no tester and I recall trying it years ago and not liking it but for twenty bucks, what had I to lose (I could always put a bit in the water where I hand wash very delicate items, something I used to do a lot with GWP fragrances I didn’t want to wear). Well, it was absolute LOVE and I’ve scoured SDMs since then hoping to find another bargain bottle (and I did break down and buy a larger bottle with my SDM points and at 20% off on “Seniors’ Day”). I am so glad I took a chance with that one!
Floral chypre? Intense. Certainly a throwback these days. I love it for fall. Used to associate it with more ‘dressed up’ occasions, but… I see PP as more of a classic chypre than an 80s, everything is big, scent.
Isn’t it wonderful when you take a chance on a perfume at an incredibly low price and it turns out to be a winner?
Oh yes, indeed (especially given the high cost of most fragrances these days and even in past). It’s also how I discovered Roma by Laura Biagiotti – took a chance on a $19.99 bottle and have since purchased 4 more (I’ve already finished one of them).
Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry. Passed…for now.
I was trying around fragrances recently in a Sephora to discover something new, but as always I only liked the vanilla gourmand ones… I rarely like Nest fragrances, but Madagascar Vanilla and Golden Nectar caught my nose. I might buy the travel size of one of those, but I’m not in a hurry to get new fragrances.
Wales Perfume: Forest, Coast, and Country. All rather outdoorsy, but daffodil, of course. There’s a hefty size sampler trio, but alas, The house does not ship to the states. Or anywhere outside the UK.
Well, I suppose I’m rather stupid, because when you were reviewing all those fragrances a little while back, I FAILED to write down which ones I was going to order several samples of! Kicking myself over it, too.
Gucci Flora Gorgeous Jasmine. Mandarin, jasmine, sandalwood…three of my favorites, and a beautiful bottle, too. I bought it without hesitation.
Kayali’s new cherry scent. I decided to order a sample plus several others from their website, which I look forward to getting soon.
Killian I don’t need a prince to be a princess. Bought the travel size to try it on a spur of the moment decision. Totally not my style at all, but I love it. Going to buy the full size before it’s gone again.
Same! It makes me smell like a sophisticated bag of marshmallows and I surprisingly love it. I’m not really into sweet gourmands but for some reason this one just works for me.
Valentino Voce Viva
The last fragrance I purchased was EL’s Pleasures, that was on sale at a ridiculously low price (well, for here in Aus!) at one of our budget beauty stores Priceline. I quite like the perfume, it is quite a strong one though and has a top note of florals, but base notes of Cedar and Sandlewood that I like.
I haven’t bought yet, but I’m seriously considering the discovery set of Sixteen92’s summer collection-six fragrances inspired by 2000s and 2010s alt-rock/emo songs. This year’s anniversary collection is five scents inspired by Wes Anderson movies-I’m not interested in that one.
Shalimar Philtre de Parfum in TK Maxx (the UK version of TJ Maxx), I love Shalimar and this is a newer version. It was under £40 so really great deal and I bought.
Loumarie Porthole I’m passing on it today but it’s slotted for a future purchase ( just got a sample in the mail yesterday with my new Almarie.
I really need to get myself to a store so I can test new scents. I’m very interested in the Replicas from Maison Margiela. I feel very late to that party. 🙂
