My Favorite Perfumes
Ok, let me break this down for you.
1. I love shower products that smell like food, but I would never in a million years buy like "Frosted Cupcake" perfume. No way. That's what candles are for. that being said, I'm a sucker for anything with vanilla in it somewhere.
2. I like to smell sophisticated, one way or another. Like I said, I don't want to be doing someone's hair and have them be like, "Do you smell alcohol and cherries?"
3. I'm a firm believer that good perfumes are expensive. I don't know what to tell you about that. I have yet to find a drugstore perfume that I stopped and said, "Damn. This is foxy."
4. I have no prejudice against a line of scents. I never get girls who ONLY wear spicy perfumes, or citrus scents. Mix it up! Live your life!
5. That said, I have a fondness for scents that have a little something something going on in the undertones.
SO HERE'S WHAT I CURRENTLY OWN AND LOVE:
From left to right: Coach Poppy, Burberry London, Miss Dior, Lollia Relax, and Dior Addict.
Ok, I'll go in order from least favorite/least worn, to favorite/most worn.
Burberry London
According to the internet the notes are: Clementine, Honeysuckle, English Garden Rose, Tiare Flower, Jasmine, Peony, Veil of Musks, Indian Sandalwood, Patchouli.
It's spicy, don't let anyone tell you otherwise- but this is sophisticated as hell. I wear this a lot for job interviews or when I have to give speeches because it makes me feel confident and powerful. I've lovingly referred to it as my "business bitch perfume". Women seem to like it, men seem to be put in their place by it.
Lollia Relax
Notes: Lavender, Bee Blossom Honey, White Orchids, Indian Amber, and Tahitian Vanilla.
This is such a pretty perfume. I wore it through the first couple years Roger and I were dating. I still put it on for date nights and Roger can always tell. He gets really nostalgic and I know he likes Lavender and Honey. Honestly, I bought the perfume originally because it smells like a honey almond cake I make a lot. I don't know, I just love this one. It's soft, feminine, and sweet without being sickly sweet.
Coach Poppy
Notes: Lychee, Mara Strawberry, Freesia, Mandarin, Muguet, Rose Centifolia, Tuberose Fleur, Jasmine Sambac, Gardenia, Praline, Vanilla, Blonde Woods, Musk.
Straight up, this is an everyday perfume for the modern woman. It's fruity, floral, slightly musky- so it pretty much covers every perfume genre. Everyone smells good in it. I get complements a lot when I wear it. (At one point Kaylene couldn't stop smelling me once she figured out the smell she liked was my perfume). It's just overall super easy and nice. Coach makes a few other versions but this is by far the nicest one.
Miss Dior
Notes: Italian Mandarin Essence, Egyptian Jasmine Absolute, Indonesian Patchouli Essence.
Yeah I don't know what essence means in the perfume world but this perfume is so classy. It's fresh, sweet, but very elegant. I got a handful of samples of the perfume when I bought my Dior Addict but this is definitely one I'm going to get a full size of. It lasts all day, and kind of has the same feeling as Coach Poppy but without the fruitiness. This is a very nice every day perfume for me.
Dior Addict
Notes: Silk Tree Flower, Mandarin Leaf, Orange Blossom, Queen of the Night Flower, Bulgarian Rose, Bourbon Vanilla Absolute, Mysore Sandalwood, Tonka Bean
This is by far the most confusing, alluring, and most worn scent I have. It's such a strange mix of things but it makes you keep coming back to it. The Bourbon Vanilla note is pretty apparent and is probably the base of the whole thing- but oh my God. This is so damn sophisticated. It's a scent that's sexy, powerful, and genuinely does not smell like anything else out there. I don't know anyone else who wears it but me and I like that. Everyone around me keeps mentioning it, but no one can quite figure out where the smell is coming from or what it is. And I'm like, "It's my perfume. Jealous?" And they are.
I imagine this perfume on a lady at a party who's like super interesting and has all kinds of weird hobbies and she's eclectic in her style and people love her.
Who doesn't want to be that girl?
