I thought I'd bring you my perfume collection and my signature scents for particular events. I've watched/read plenty of these before and they also seem to consist of 20+ bottles and vague descriptions. Alas, my perfume 'collection' currently only consists of 4 bottles so I'll have to make do! However, I'd say that you don't need masses of scents to be able to chop and change between fragrances and a minimal selection also helps you define your signature scent. I'm the sort of female that one day dreams of the ultimate dressing table perfume collection so watch this space, because I'm insistent that I'll allow my collection to grow bigger and bigger. As you can tell, I adore perfumes and, luckily, I have a boyfriend that manages to pick me out some seriously pretty scents for my collection; this has meant that I've never bought my own fragrance! Luke gifted me with the following perfumes so I thought it'd be fun to include his opinion on each scent and it'll help all you boyfriends out there who are looking for ideas for valentines this year!
I would recommend all of the following perfumes and agree that their price tags are definitely worth it. I've tried to summarise the scents to the best of my ability and recommend the best situations for them but, as ever, it's down to personal taste. Hopefully, someday they'll work out how to create an online scratch 'n' sniff! I hope you find something you like about this post and look forward to reading about your favourite scents in the comments below ♥
Perfume #One: Body by Burberry
I actually got this little vial as a free sample from Burberry's Facebook campaign a little while back and I was pleasantly impressed with the size and the gorgeous smell. The scent is quite sensual, sophisticated and slightly floral with a creamy hint of musk that makes it instantly gorgeous. It also doesn't sit too heavily on the skin which allows for each note to reach their potential without being too overpowering. It embraces femininity and feels pretty to wear, however, I'm not a massive fan of the bottle; I think it looks a little cheap compared to other perfume bottles. Despite this, I'm sure I'll definitely be re-purchasing it in the future - although it does come with a bigger price tag. Use wisely ;)
It's perfect for ♥: date nights, long summer evenings and for dressing to impress.
Boyfriend says: 'feminine, unique and alluring. My favourite of Bee's scents'
Notes of: green absinthe, peach, freesia, natural rose absolute, iris, sandalwood, cashmere, vanilla, amber and musk. (according to Sephora)
Perfume #Two: Deep Night by Ghost
This fragrance spells out sentimentality and nostalgia for me and embodies those nights that you never want to end. I adore this fragrance; I've currently got a 30ml bottle as well as a 50ml and it's something that I'll forever repurchase. It's sensual yet sentimental. I also adore the bottle - simple yet beautiful. When intoxicated, my friend Dan actually told me I smelt really good whilst I was wearing this fragrance - does that sway you?!
It's perfect for ♥: nostalgic days, dreamy nights and for creating memories with your favourite person
Boyfriend says: dreamy, attractive and comforting. The packaging is nice and sleek too.
Notes of: indian rose, orange, white tree, apricot, vanilla, amber and musk. (according to Feel Unique)
One of the signature summer scents of many a blogger! Despite its carefree appearance, this fragrance is sophisticated just as much as it is fun, fresh and the absolute epitome of summer days. The bottle is just as fun as the smell - it's definitely one to keep out on the top of your dressing table. This is honestly one of the most nostalgic scents for me because it takes me right back to the gorgeous Greek beaches. It honestly is summer in a bottle! This is perfect for long summer days, sleepy evenings and laziness by the poolside. I'm definitely going to be re-purchasing for this coming summer!

Boyfriend says: summery, relaxing and fresh. My second favourite and I love the design!
Notes of: strawberry, violet petals, ruby red grapefruit, jasmine petals, musk and vanilla. (according to Sephora)
Perfume #Four: Red Delicious by DKNY
This fragrance is really fresh, powerful and energising so I usually pop it on in the morning to wake me up and to at least make it smell like I'm awake. It's fruity but not in a horrendously overpowering/granny way. It's a comforting smell and comes across as quite sophisticated and mature. The bottle is simple yet pretty but a bit of an awkward shape for storage. This scent is perfect for the colder months, long daytime walks and bitter evenings. Having said that, I'd say that it's quite versitaile; I've worn this scent everywhere and it fits every occasion. This perfume is best when its calmed down on the skin because it can be quite harsh when first applied.

Boyfriend says: fun, sweet and lively. This scent reminds me of Bee and I like the bottle.
Notes of: champagne accord, lychee, red raspberry, apple, rose, vanilla bean, patchouli, amber, sensual skin accord and raspberry (according to The Perfume Shop)
There you have it, my short but sweet perfume collection. I'd love to know what your favourite fragrances are so please feel free to leave them in the comments. There's so many more scents that I've got on my wishlist so I think I may have to save up some pennies in order to splurge. Either that or I can pray that Cupid brings me something for Valentines ;) I'm off to finish reading Freud's Interpretation of Dreams before chilling out with tv seasons and some much needed food. Hope you're all well!
P.S Add me on Pinterest. I'm more than a little obsessed!
