When it comes to a fragrance, it has to be bang on. As well as my own opinion, I do take into account others views, especially my boyfriend. If he likes it, it's a keeper. If one of my friends comments on it, then I know its worth a repurchase.
Contrary to popular belief, I'm not the sort of girl to jump on a band wagon and follow a trend of a scent; I simply hunt them out by myself.
So my collection is a mixture of day to night out scents and it will be extended, however for now this is how it will stay for the remainder of 2013.

1. Paco Rabanne| Lady Million
My oh my, by far my favorite perfume of all time, it's perfect in every way. Sophisticated, classy yet a real womanly scent. Its a completely warm, sexy fragrance that every girl should have in her collection. It is luxury in a bottle, and goes hand in hand (if you don't mind me saying) with the Paco Rabanne 1 Million mens fragrance, which I love. It suits any occasion, time of year, I can't fault this. All time favorite and something will have to be out of this world to top it, what more can I say, oh not to mention I love the advert... (do it again!)
2. Versace| Vanitas
Originally had the tester for this perfume and... it smashed when I went on a trip to London, ever since my bag has smelt lush! On the other hand, I felt it was only right to purchase it again, however it is on the pricey side. The scent is powerful but beautiful, and honestly 1 spray would last for the whole day. As you can see I have used a lot of it already, but it is something I don't think I could get bored of. Very classy nonetheless, well obviously it's Versace.
3. Hollister| Addison
Right now, this is my 'go to' perfume. It is amazing! Generally the scent of all Hollister shops, as me and my boyfriend picked one up to tester, a member of staff was spraying the shop with the same one! Even after having this for months my boyfriend will always comment how nice I smell when I wear this. It's a winner with the boys clearly so why not, perfect first date perfume! Its subtle, yet fruity and sweet! Summer in a bottle. I love it and a 100% repurchase is on the cards! Well done Hollister
4. Givenchy| Dahlia Noir
This is a tester I received as part of a monthly Glossybox and was hugely impressed, Givenchy!? How sophisticated! At first smell its very strong, a bit to strong as I'd prefer, however when on the skin it lingers really nicely and it remains subtle throughout the day. I love it when your walking along, and the wind blows and you can smell your perfume. Reminds you how good you smell, (is that vain?!) haha. Not too sure whether I will repurchase this, mainly because it will take me forever to use this up. It is more of a night scent and I rarely go on nights out (BUT YOUR A STUDENT! I can hear everyone shout! pahaha). Lovely though!
5. Yves Rocher| So Elixir Purple
Similarly, this was also a tester. To be honest I'm not raving my bits off over this, but it is nice, for a splash of something different! Quite strong and powerful so definitely a night smell like out to dinner etc. As of yet, no comments on the perfume, so maybe that's telling me something haha. However this is the first Yves Rocher perfume I have tried so wasn't to sure what to expect exactly.
*All of these descriptions are my own honest opinion. All of these available in most beauty related/fragrance shops, just google them, prices vary everywhere dependent on 'ml' you'd like*
Thank you for reading
