Scent love
February 8, 2010 § 9 Comments
Being 15, it’s pretty hard to pin down your ‘signature scent’ so on the weekend I set out to buy some more perfumes for my ‘scent wardrobe’. I couldn’t just run into a department store and sniff every perfume, I did quite a bit of research based on perfumes and other scents that I love, ie. Miss Dior Cherie, MJ Daisy, Lancome Poeme, Ralph by Ralph Lauren and various Victoria’s Secret body sprays. Turns out I favour gourmand(food and dessert related) and Chypre (citrus and moss) fragrances with a patchouli base note and strong disliking for Oriental scents or anything too musky. I made a list and very soon I returned with CKIN2U (I’ve loved in2u ever since it came out in 2007, I had a bottle but I left it in China), Gucci by Gucci (the ad, Natasha poly, Raquel zimmerman and freja beha, need I say more?) and Juicy Couture (Hate their track suits but this perfume is just amazing, do you believe in love at first sniff?).
Packaging/the bottle is important for me too, one of the reasons why I love Miss Dior Cherie so much is the super cute glass bottle with a silver bow and MJ Daisy with the rubber daisies. I love the Juicy and Gucci bottles but CKIN2U is boring but I already knew that and it doesn’t matter!
Hehe a little family, I share some of it with my mum. I think Eau Mega by Victor and Rolf, Flora by Gucci another bottle of Miss Dior Cherie are next!

Prettty! I love perfume bottles and enjoy the delights of smelling you each morning to pick out what you’re wearing. Ohohoho!
This outfit looks gorgeous! Your skirt is really lovely – have you considered opening an online shop? I guess it’d be a lot of work on top of school to take on!
Love your perfume collection! Have you ever smelt D&G – the one rose? IT SMELLS AMAZINGGG. I really want to buy it, but don’t really need more perfume ahaha.
Take care! x
lol have i told you how funny you are? The problem with so many people is that they comment on a post without reading it. Cute lace jacket!

You’re a fantastic writer!
Those shoes are so adorable! First it was shoes and now I’m in love with your collection of perfumes too.
I really love oriental-mossy perfumes but it’s hard to resist marc jacobs daisy.
Ha ha ha ha ha! I wear Gucci by Gucci pour homme – we match! Sort of.
Love how the bright red pumps contrast the rest of the ensemble darling – you’re looking wonderful

you with open toe RED shoes??!!!! No way!!
have you lost weight lately? you look slimmer in these pics.
anyway, going back to mourning Alex McQueen. My reason to follow fashion. the one and only.
a sad day that deserves a glass of wine.

That skirt you’ve made, as always, is beautiful. I love the volume of it.
Also, I just read your ‘about me’ it was really touching, good to see a 15yr old with amazing dreams.

Oh you should totally go to Kleins on Brunswick St. As long as you know what tones you like – as you said sweet dessert flavours – you talk to the staff and they have the most amazing and unusual collections. I just found my signature scent a few weeks ago from there and no one else wears it! I love it!
