My Fragrance Collection


Yesterday i decided that i needed a change and unfortunately a holiday was out of the question so i rearranged my bedroom. This meant that i could reorganise my dresser. While it's nice and neat i figured it was a good time to do a fragrance collection video.

First, is the Harajuku Lovers G. Don't ask me what happened to the top of it that looks like a girl (which you can see here). G smells like summer, summer in a bottle. It reminds me a lot of a pina colada pretty much! I'm a sucker for anything coconut smelling so it makes sense that this is one of my favourite perfumes. There are a few different versions of this perfume (like G By The Sea) which I'm not a fan of. 
It's notes are:
Top - crisp mandarin, fresh coconut, apple skin
Middle - jasmine sambac, soft freesia, magnolia vapour
Base - coconut cream, white sandalwood, cottonwoods
Next is my all time favourite perfume. If there is a scent that you could call my signature scent that everyone knows is me when they smell it Hypnotic Poison by Christian Dior is it. Hypnotic Poison, on me anyway, comes off smelling very vanilla and musk which are two of it's base notes. This is a perfume that i always get compliments on especially from men.
It's notes are:
Top - Caraway, Bitter Almond
Middle - Jasmine Sambac, Moss
Base - Jacarander Wood, Vanilla, Musk


Lancome Tresor Midnight Rose is one very very strong perfume. I don't remember if i have the EDP or the ETP but it's very strong and lasts quite awhile. One me, one spray and i can still smell it hours later. My coworkers have commented on it too, in fact one bought it for his sister as a present after i wore it at work. I got a few samples of this from a beauty subscription box at first and didn't love it (i actually gave one of the samples to a friend) but i used it anyway and it grew on me. 
It's notes are:
Top: raspberry rose absolute 
Middle: jasmine, peony, currant buds, pink pepper 
Base: Virginian cedar, musk and vanilla

Next is Glamour by Moschino. I wont' say too much about this one because i included it i another post, which you can see here.
It's notes are:
Top:  mandarin orange, neroli and bergamot
Middle: orange blossom, apple, pear and rose
Base: musk, petit grain and cedar

DKNY Be Delicious. I had wanted this for a really long time and just never got around to getting it but i was in Sephora on one of my trips to the US and this small size was in the bins near the checkout and i snatched it up. 
It's notes are:
Top: cucumber, grapefruit and magnolia
Middle: Apple, tuberose, rose, violet, white muguet
Base: White Amber, Woods




I freaking love La Vanilla. I don't know if you have noticed that so far most of my scents are very fruity and/or very vanilla. It's an obsession. This fragrance, La Vanilla Vanilla Passionfruit, is the perfect blend of both!
It's notes are passion fruit, guava, peach, blue lotus, clary sage, juniper berries, sandalwood and Madagascar vanilla.



Burberry Brit is another fragrance i've featured in another post recently and you can find that here.
It's notes are:
Top: Italian Lime, Icy Pear, Crisp Green Almond
Middle: Sugared Almond, White Peony
Base: Amber, Mahogany, Vanilla, Tonka






Hugo Boss XX is another one of my all time favourite perfumes. I remember buying it when i first came out and i was obsessed. I still am! It's a little more difficult to find these days so i usually get it from The Iconic
It's notes are:
Top: mandarin, blueberry and litchi
Middle: jasmine and rose
Base: sensual musk and amber



Now on to all my mini or sample size fragrances!

These three mini roller balls are from La Vanilla. These are Vanilla Grapefruit, Vanilla Coconut & Pure Vanilla.

Notes are:
Vanilla Grapefruit - lime, patchouli, grapefruit, heliotrope, bergamot, madagascar vanilla and sandalwood.
Vanilla Coconut - tiare flower,  sandalwood, heliotrope, coconut and vanilla.
Pure Vanilla - patchouli, freesia, heliotrope, madagascar vanilla and tonka bean.

We all know that i love Clinique and i actually don't mind their signature fragrance, Happy, either. You can see that i don't wear it that often, but i have used a previous sample up as well.
It's notes are:
Top: Ruby Red Grapefruit, Bergamot, West Indian Mandarin Tree Blossom, High Altitude Laurel
Middle: Boysenberry Bush Flower, Morning Dew Orchid, Melati Blossom
Base: Hawaiian Wedding Flower, White Crinium Lily, Chinese Golden Magnolia, Spring Mimosa Blossoms


Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue used to be my signature perfume all through my teenage years. I used to wear it every single day between the ages of about 15 to 20. It was actually the only perfume i owned at that time. It has a very light fruity smell and is great for those that are younger. 
It's notes are:
Top: Granny Smith Apple, Sicilian Cedar, Bluebells
Middle: Jasmine, White Rose, Bamboo
Base: Cedarwood, Amber, Musks


This fragrance called La Petite Robe Noire by Guerlain is actually one I've never worn. Again, i got the sample in a beauty subscription box but just keep forgetting that i have it. The sound of Aniseed as a base note sort of scares me. I've smelt this obviously and i like it but smells sometimes change once they hit my skin. Guess I'm worried it will be the most prominent note! 
It's notes are:
Top: Black cherry, bergamot, red berries, almond
Middle: Bulgarian rose, Turkish rose, licorice, smoked black tea
Base: Aniseed, tonka bean, vanilla, iris, patchouli

Finally i have a few body sprays from Bath & Body Works.

Secret Wonderland fragrance mist smells floral and sweet but is not too sweet. It's great for a summer day and last reasonably well considering it is a body mist.
It's notes are:
Top: Luscious Strawberry, Wild Goji Berries, Ripe Raspberry
Middle: Gardenia Petals, Jasmine, Peach Nectar
Base: Coconut Musk, Creamy Vanilla, Sandalwood, White Amber





Be Enchanted is very similar to Secret Wonderland but it smells much more fruity to me. I smell the passionfruit more than anything else. 
It's notes are:
Top: Mouthwatering Citrus, Iced Pomegranate, Chilled Wildberries, Crystallized Passionfruit
Middle: Sheer Honeysuckle, Floral Frosted Bouquet, Sugared Violet, Dew fruit, Asian Pear
Base: Whipped Vanilla, Creamy Musk, Sandalwood




Finally is Japanese Cherry Blossom which unlike the previous two is not quite so sweet.
It's notes are:
Top: Asian Pear, Fuji Apple and Ume Plumb
Middle: Japanese Cherry Blossom, Butterfly Lily, Kyoto Rose, Mimosa Petals
Base: Vanilla Rice, Imperial Amber, Silk Musk, Cinnamon Incense, Himalayan Cedarwood and creamy Sandalwood
