My Fragrance Collection and Favourites!

As some of you wanted to see my fragrance collection I decided to do a blogpost and share some of my beloved perfumes. I love perfumes, and personally I think life would be dull and inexpressive without them. This collection took me years to put together. My oldest fragrance is the Chanel No5, it's probably about seven or eight years old. I use it really sparingly, it's a timeless and classic scent, which I probably wear only a few times a year, predominantly during winter. Generally I love sensual and strong fragrance, full of character and flirtation, with Jasmine and Patchouli notes. When I smell a fragrance I want to be picked up by a tantalising and decadent sensation. Sometimes I don't wear a fragrance for months and then suddenly I start craving it. If I had to pick top five fragrances that I love wearing most they would be:

Chanel Coco - I have almost finished this one, but I only wear it during winter!

Tom Ford Noir de Noir - the sexiest and also the most expensive in my collection.

Tom Ford Grey Vetiver - if a fragrance would be a man, this would be the love of my life. Click here for a full review!

Elie Saab Le Parfum - this is probably the most feminine and pretty smelling fragrance. Click here for a full review!

Reem Acra Reem Acra - Reem Acra is a designer of beautiful wedding dresses and this is her first fragrance, with a middle eastern accent to reflect her roots. Click here for a full review!

There is something about all of them that makes me feel very happy when I smell them on my skin, some sort of chemical reaction that gives me an endorphins rush... They all are Eau de Parfum, the only Eau de Toilette fragrance I own is the YSL Cinema [for a full review click here!], which I almost emptied within a month because Eau de Toilette doesn't last on me. It is a gorgeous and glamorous Hollywood inspired scent. It's a perfect summer scent, I actually purchased it last summer!

Reem Acra Eau de Parfum!

Exclusively available at Harrods...

When ever I write about perfumes I always have the fragrance bottle sitting on my desk so that I can keep on smelling the scent, as it is the case right... This is a new addition to my fragrance collection and I am super excited to share it with you! Reem Acra Eau de Parfum launched in October 2012, so it's relatively new... This fragrance is right up my alley, and I've been wearing it for the past week... It's a sophisticated sensual warm scent, which I can't get enough of at the minute... It's one of those fragrances that smell on your skin when your pulse goes up, or your skin gets warmer... So it lasts very well, which is what I love... It's a heavy, slightly masculine scent! If you are a fan of Tom Ford fragrances you'll love this one...

The fragrance opens with a fusion of orange blossom and a blend of pear and bergamot... Then it moves to warm ginger and passes through a delicate bouquet of jasmine(!), lily of the valley and blooming peony... And then it finishes on the elegant trail of signature amber and hand-selected cedar wrapped in sophisticated notes of patchouli and warm musk...Oh my what a stunning scent combination...

I also love the glamorous bottle design which was inspired by Reem Acra's classic Hollywood glamour style... Reem Acra is highly regarded as bridal designer amongst the celebrities... And so her first couture perfume was inspired by the elegance of the bridal dresses, the glamorous red carpet events and her Lebanese heritage... Every time I smell this fragrance on me it brings me back to my childhood, having spent a few years in the Middle East, the most memorable moments are the ones of their fragrance stores, stunning antique scent bottles filled with intense perfume oils... And also the Arab women wore the most beautiful fragrances, leaving an intoxicating scent trail...
