Fragrance fanatic 01

Hey Dolls..
So I've decided to start a series of 'Fragrance fanatic' posts to help my readers with choice. There are so many different scents out there and more being launched every day, the industry is making the selection process increasingly difficult for us(not complaining). There is much to know where perfumes are concerned, you really shouldn't be walking around smelling like winter in the summer or like night time during the day LOL.

I believe that yes, one can have a signature scent that they stick to their entire life(makes life easier) but why limit yourself? I guess the reason why people do that maybe is because they'd rather wear only what they know and the familiarity is comforting. Very resistant to change. Personally I enjoy different beautiful smells, they all tell a different story and hold their individual memories. I have certain perfumes that remind me of different places and times in my life, isn't that special? A scent can bring back a memory(whether good or bad) same way a song can and that is magic :)

First in the series is

MARC JACOBS
Honey.
This here is Honey perfume for fall 2013.
This is so cute and charming with the little bee's buzzing around the 'Honey' bottle.
10/10 for packaging! Its a sweet floral scent perfect for summer(as if the bottle isn't obvious enough) or a lovely daytime fragrance. 
Notes: Pear, juicy mandarin, orange blossom, peach nectar, apricot, honeysuckle, honey, golden vanilla and smooth woods.

Dot. 
The above is Dot perfume for Spring 2012.
This delightful bottle has little polka dots on it and it just reminds me of ladybugs :)
9/10 for packaging just because I feel the heart flower petals(in black) are slightly too large so out of proportion(a little). This floral, sweet and fresh scent is ideal for spring plus warm summer evenings as the strong hints of coconut water and red berries are suited for that. 
Notes: Red berries, dragon fruit, honeysuckle, jasmine, orange blossom, vanilla, driftwood, coconut water and sensual musk.

Daisy Black.
Daisy Black edition launched in 2008.
This luxury black and gold magic in a bottle is a classic. It's still popular til this very day.
10/10 for packaging as its so sleek and sophisticated.
This is perfect for winter and night time as the woody, powdery scent is fitting for when the sun goes down. It's a more elegant(grown up) fragrance, intense and stays on for hours :). 
Notes: Violet leaf, wild strawberry, jasmine, musk, white woods, vanilla, gradenia and blood grapefruit.

Daisy Eau So Fresh
Daisy eau so fresh launched in 2011.
This is a very feminine bottle and with the pretty flowers up top.
10/10 for packaging because its really very girlie and delicate.
This fragrance is packed with sweet, fruity, floral smells which makes it perfect for spring/summer and mornings. It will leave a sweet, fresh smell on you, perfect way to start your day :)
Notes: grapefruit, raspberry, pear, jasmine, rose, violet, litchi, apple blossom, plum, virginia cedar and musk.


Marc Jacobs will forever score high with me where packaging is concerned because their bottles are so beautiful. They sit very pretty on your dressing table/vanity desk and that makes them such great gifts. I have Daisy Black and I absolutely love it. I love perfumes and I don't think a lady can have too many lol. What have you sampled and what perfume are you using at the moment?
