Fragrance for Fall.

With the changing seasons we often find new trends, many of which are not just based around your wardrobe pieces, it can apply to many things, ranging from cosmetics and fragrances.

After adding a few changes to my wardrobe, I though the same attitude should be applied to my choice of perfume. Recently I've been using a very mild scent, for a very long time and  it wasn’t doing me any justice. I could hardly smell it, until I realised it was an eau de toilette- one my duh moments. I usually make sure to purchase the eau de parfum, when handpicking my fragrances, period. However that particular fragrance was gifted to me. The smell is wonderful, for about 10- 15 minutes, and then it dies down.   

With that in mind, I went on a mini shopping mission over the weekend to find the perfect fragrance for fall. I found myself in most perfume counters, perfume testing.  Virtually every perfume I came across, didn’t quite work for me… until I couldn’t believe my nose- that's when I found it, a wonderful smelling one… Valentino/Valentina.

I purchased a set, as apposed to the single perfume bottle. It was decently priced, that and the fact the box looked cute. The set includes a scented body lotion, the fragrance and a vintage looking box. This perfume smells absolutely glorious, even my smelling senses approve. The bottle is very cute and feminine. The scent is totally perfect for this season and not too harsh smelling either.  It would also be ideal throughout the winter season.

Lastly, I ensured the fragrance was an eau de parfum type, as the smell last for hours. This perfume exceeded my expectations and I could smell it even after a few hours had passed. A choice well made.

Definitely make that switch from the differing perfume types, you'll be grateful. Have an awesome week... If you tiptoe, you can see the weekend.

Did I mention spring was one of my favourite seasons? This is the season, which brings us the good news of summer and the climate heats up making way for our wardrobe to be fully utilized.

With seasons changing, so do our personal preferences, whether it is beauty or fashion related, or simple life changes. However, there will always be certain elements, which will stay the same, regardless of seasons and trends. For instance, my love of the two ‘F’s’... yes, you guessed it, food and fragrances. In this context, the latter appeals the most. 

Perfumes are something, which I alternate occasionally, depending on my mood. But, there will always be that ‘one’ smell, which will carry you through the years, for me this has been the case, for almost 4 years.

My knight in shining armour, who has accompanied me over recent years, is no other than the golden, Daisy- by Marc Jacobs. Displaying a floral and fresh smell, it makes me feel mellow and I am then compelled to spray more, in larger quantities. This perfume scores me many compliments from family and friends... even strangers!

If you are searching for an all-year-round perfume, which smells awesome, your search has come to an end... this may be what you are looking for… J
