Perfumes on my Radar for Future Purchase!

Lately I have come to the conclusion that sadly, my Perfume Collection is quite sufficient without any new purchases for a least 6 months.  So in deciding what to do about that situation I have instead been acquiring decants of newer scents as a cheaper (soooo much cheaper) way of testing new scents.

In the last few months I have amassed a few perfumes that are on my must have or future purchase list.

They are in no particular order being that if they are even on this list, then I have savored every last drop of the decants and sadly all I can do is frown over the lost scent until I go through my lesser loved scents on my table so I can quickly replace it with my new found lovelies!!!

First one is Eros Por Femme by Versace: A citrus white floral, woody and musky accord.  Omg this is good stuff.  The only other Versace I even like is the Versace’s Dreamer which is a mens scent.  This particular offering for women is right up my alley.  Divine, strong and heady and I love the citrus explosion on first spray.  The sillage is good to moderate and the lasting power is really strong on me.  The bottle is absolutely a thing of beauty.  I love Gold and it’s a heavy bottle and will look prominent on my perfume table.  Cant wait to own a bottle.

The second one is My Burberry by Burberry: This is a sweet and spicy rose floral.  Funny as I can’t really get the rose in it but the sweet pea and the freesia are prominent.  I simply love this scent.  As an added bonus I was wearing it out during the day and an elderly lady walked by me and whispered to her husband that my perfume was “potent”.  I was immensely pleased….lol.  It’s rare that a perfume that I am in love with has any type of bold sillage.  I’m paying good money for something that others can smell on me.  So with just two light spritzes on my wrist I got a comment from a passerby.  Some would be horrified but I was quite happy.  When I finally do purchase this it will last a while as a light spritz is all I  will need.  The longevity is excellent and the bottle and the story behind the fragrance is my kind of thing.  I love England and London is somewhere I want to visit soon.  A lush, cool garden and the uber classic trench.  This perfume exudes a distinct variation on the British esthetic.  I love!

The next one is an old favorite that I believe is discontinued but I will find a bottle I hope soon. 

 It’s Georgio Armani’s Acqua di Gio for Women.  I wore this when it first came out and it was one of the most lovely expressions of a clean and sweet water scent.  I loved it then and love it still.  Being a fan of acquatics anyway this is a must buy whenever I can find it.  Though there are many fruity accords in this such as watermelon, citrus, pineapple etc, it is the floral notes that remain in my mind during the drydown phase.  It has three of my favorite floral notes which are freesia, hyacinth and ylang-ylang.  Though its initially quite sweet the drydown is warm florals on a cool evening breeze.  Omg…..Love!

Chanel’s Coromandel.   Personally I love most Chanel scent offerings.  I have never taken the plunge to purchase the Exclusif line as its so pricy-yikes!  However I love smoldering orientals and I also like Patchouli and have yet to have found one that I like terribly much.  By all accocunts and countless reviews I have read this is one that I would purchase unsniffed.   I love warm ambery balsamic scents.  They simply make my little heart squeak with joy!

Tom Ford’s Signature Collection Jasmin Rouge   I have wanted this scent from his Signature Collection for a very long time.  Walking by the counter and discreetly sniffing the bottle and a quick unseen spritz.  I’m sure I’ve made an interesting sight to see scooting away from the counter before the associate gives me a disapproving glare….lol.  However I have wanted this perfume forever.  To me this is a SPICY super white/yellow floral fragrance.  Fragantica describes it as being an “erotic and hedonistic blend”, and I agree.  Very warm and with a sexy earthiness to the ambrosia like quality of the Sambac jasmine, amber and clary sage.  Those notes in particular seep into my pores and set fire to my nerves in my brain.  I just don’t think straight when I smell this.  I might have to descent into madness to enjoy this lovely and sexy scent!

 

Well that’s it boys and girls and if you can relate to my ever growing collection let me know what’s on your must have in your future purchases! 

Happy scent journeys from your fellow Perfumista!
