Sisley Eau Du Soir


Weekly scent: 
This week im wearing Eau Du Soir by Sisley, which is miles from my usual light scent.

This is such a powerful scent. Perfect for anyone wanting to be remembered and to make an entrance. With slight talc undertones, feminine in a way that is not girly and floral, but more strong and empowered. 

Perfect as a transitional perfume between Autumn and Winter as is exudes a powerful comfort undertones that linger on the clothes that you catch a smell of as you move.

Elie Saab

Perfume of the Week.


I honestly think this is one of my favorite smells, its happy notes just cheer up a dull day. It lightly lingers around for hours, catching the soft floral but not over powering feminine scent as you move. 

An elegant scent that would suit most girly girls, strong and memorable, this one is one for lazy TV days, or lunch time with the girls, one to get you noticed.

Signorina - A Summer Scent

Signorina by Salvatore Ferragamo



I rarely see this in magazines or in the perfume articles, half as much as I should .

This light, floral girly scent is such a summery smell, it reminds me of long summer evenings in the park and it lingers on past the BBQ smell to. 

Its quite a strong floral scent so spray sparingly otherwise you drown in it, but i also like that because its a saver in time, reapplying perfume throughout the day isn't always realistic

A light hearted, girly scent, im not quite ready to leave behind in the summer... I may just have to wear it a few more times, and on the first few rainy days to remind me that summer (even if it was a short lived) will return!

Si - Giorgio Armani

I seem to be on a little perfume frenzy of late.

I have come across Si by Giorgio Armani. I've not liked any previous GA scents in the past, not enough to wear them, i always feel they clash a little with my personality.

Recently perfumes have gone very citrus like and this is no different.

SI is sweet smelling, with a floral undertone with a citrus after smell. 

I object to spraying perfume on cards to get a real smell of it, because, quite frankly, I don't smell like paper. 

I REALLY like this perfume, so a little spritz goes a long away (perfect in my opinion, nothing like having to half drown in the stuff before you get a whiff) I do own enough perfumes to last a small lifetime, however this is going on my Christmas wish list, definitely spring scent! 


RRP £44 for 30ml

Liz Earle Botanical Essence No 15

If you know me, you'll know i recently went from one perfume (I was faithful to Coco Chanel for YEARS) to owning so many its a daily struggle to find which one represents my mood (and one with not to many memories attached to it yet)

Liz Earle Botanical Essence No 15, isn't new, and its not exactly hot off the press, but i recently came across it as perfume isn't something I, and many of my friends associate with Liz Earle. 

Described as "Vibrant" - I can almost agree it is a lively scent and does linger for quite some time. A strong Sandalwood, Damask Rose and Cinnamon. The Damask Rose gives off an almost musky type smell, quite masculine in smell, which is different to how i imagined it would smell, i imagined something light, almost fresh linen-esq. 

I felt the urge to do a mini review because of its smell and connects with the brand so well,You can smell the essential ingredients that are in the facial products so they connect on a smell basis, however it is slightly stronger but definitely stands out from most perfumes a little goes a long way and it definitely makes a statement.

Perfume of the week..

I have WAY to many perfumes, out of choice, and presents and I've got a sneaky suspicion they're just appearing on my shelf. Made the conscious choice to wear just one a week and only wear my signature (Coco Chanel) on special occasions

This Week's selected scent is: 

Lancome La Vie Est Belle

The prettiest smelling perfume!



This is my second bottle since Christmas. It was bought as a present along with the moisturiser which enhances the smell so much it just lingers lightly around, and in a light breeze i'll catch a whiff of myself and think, oooo i smell pretty! 

Light, floral and slightly fruity. Not overly sweet, but just sweet enough. 

The packaging is so delicate and reflective of the smell. The braille writing on the side really is a special little touch, I don't know of any other brand to go into that much detail on the box. The white glitter sucks me in, im a sucker for the shiny things. The cute bow around the top of the bottle just reminds you of what a girly smell this is. I dislike perfumes that are to overpowering, much more a fan of those light subtle notes that hang around as you create memories. 

Only a little bottle this time! Got a big one last time and i got a bit spray happy, the littler the bottle the more i treasure it.
