Fantasy by Britney Spears |
This is, without a doubt, my signature perfume. I have been in love with this scent for years and I finally was able to purchase it in February 2008. The sweet cupcake aroma is heaven sent! Or should I say scent? Wow, that was a lame
one from me. |

Believe by Britney Spears |
I received a free sample bottle at the mall in Paraparaumu and was completely sold by the fresh notes of guava, honeysuckle, and tangerine. Love the free evening bag that came with the perfume too! |

Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears |
Omg! This scent is a sure favourite what with the delicious top notes of plum and wild cherry. This perfume is rare in New Zealand, I purchased this one online. |

White Diamonds by Elizabeth Taylor |
My late Great Nana swore by this perfume, she never failed to wear it and whenever she visited our house it would reek of this perfume for hours afterward. I liked the smell, and occasionally I'd
spray myself in a tester at various department stores. When Great Nana moved onto pastures new in 2006 I received the remainder of her White Diamonds perfume. As you can see I don't have
much left, but I hope to get some more at some stage in honour of Great Nana. Admittedly this is very much an old ladies perfume, very heavily floral, but at the end of the day you should feel
comfortable wearing whatever scent you want, however old or young you are. |

I Love Love by Moschino |
This fragrance celebrates women with a zest for life - this scent is very citrusy and fun. A no holds barred designer fragrance for spontaneous women everywhere. I have the 30mL of this,
and when it runs out I won't hesitate to buy this again. |
|
So...? by So Cosmetics |
The range from So...? isn't as expensive as the more higher end scents but...So What! Heh. So Cosmetics is a British brand, and the picture here shows from left to right:
So What, So Kiss Me and So Desirable. There are many other scents in the So line but pictured are just the ones I have. So What is definitely a citrus number, whereas Kiss Me is a more
sophisticated scent with musky notes and also a hint of floral. So Desirable is an everyday perfume with subtle floral notes. |

Hot Couture by Givenchy |
In my opinion Givenchy are the absolute masters of eau de parfum. I love all of their scents, but my two favourites are Hot Couture and Amarige. Several years ago my friend Sarah gave me
a small miniature of this, and sadly I used it up way too quickly - the scent was so divine you see. Luckily I recently got my hands on the 100 mL bottle and was after several years reunited with the
delectable aroma of woods and spices. For some reason Givenchy decided to give Hot Couture a makeover, with a slight alteration to the scent and the bottle, but the new smell still
does the trick. The new bottle doesn't have the woman in the background. |

Tabu by Dana |
My Mum had this on her dressing table when I was younger and I used to sneak into her room and spray some on myself. One day I snuck in to use it and it had gone so I asked why, and at
the same time admitted that I'd been secretely using it! She said she threw it out because she didn't like it! Anyway, for my birthday that year she gave me a Tabu giftset, and the rest is history. Since then I've
been given a replacement bottle since I'd fully used up the one my Mum gave me for my birthday. Tabu was developed by the House of Dana in 1932 and let me tell you, this scent
is not for the faint hearted. If you're into bold, brash oriental notes then this is the perfume for you, but if you prefer subtle scents then I wouldn't recommend Tabu to you. |

Elle by Yves Saint Laurent |
The largest bottle of Elle is like $200...so I decided to get the 'accessoire de sac', which is a lil touch of bling that you can clip to a bag or a belt. It contains solid Elle perfume and a fuchsia
pearly lip gloss. |
