More 2014 perfumes!

I have already mentioned in previous posts that I really want to try the Marc Jacobs fragrances, Daisy Delight and Daisy Eau So Fresh Delight, which are coming out in the next few months.

I have tried Jimmy Choo Flash London Club, which I love, but I am struggling to find a 100ml bottle! I also want Nina Ricci's La Tentation de Nina, which came out in January. I have tried it in store and it is really nice, but I haven't purchased it yet.



Other 2014 fragrances that I am looking forward to trying are Jimmy Choo's Exotic 2014 version.
There was an Exotic released last year, which smells like berries combined with the signature from the original Jimmy Choo fragrance. I love it.
That was the pink coloured one, but this year will see the release of Exotic in orange, which I'm sure will be just as delicious.

Another fragrance that I'm sure I will like is Vera Wang Be Jeweled Rouge. Just looking at the bottle you can tell it is going to smell like berries and sure enough the notes are red currant, gardenia, sweet pralines and woody and musk accords.
I think this fragrance is out already, but I haven't seen or tried it yet.

The 2013 perfumes in my collection!

There have been so many fantastic fragrances released in 2013.
Here are 13 that I have added to my collection.


I bought the 3 DKNY Be Delicious Art editions. I love the design on the bottles.

Escada Cherry In The Air also comes in a cute bottle with a cute bow around the neck. It also has a lovely design on the box. It is a lovely summer fragrance.

Jimmy Choo Flash is my favourite perfume. I love the bottle and the scent is so unique. I love it. I can't wait for the new version, which is due for release on 3rd February 2014.

Jimmy Choo Exotic is a delicious scent that I wanted for months before I finally got my hands on it.

Miss Dior released their scent as an eau de toilette early this year. I got this for Christmas from my other half this year.

Cacharel Amor Amor is a lovely limited edition of the original Amor Amor.

L'eau Jolie is a lovely fresh, clean scent that smells very similar to DKNY Fresh Blossom Art, but it comes in an even nicer apple-shaped bottle.

I was mega excited to see the release of Vera Wang's latest addition to the Princess range and this is a lovely sparkling scent, well represented by its bottle.

Marc Jacobs Sunshine Editions were supposedly released in 2012, but they certainly didn't turn up in my local Boots until February 2013:

Marc Jacobs Daisy Sunshine is an amazing scent. I absolutely adore it. I hate the fact that this was a limited edition.

Oh Lola Sunsheer is delicious. I find it so difficult to say which of this Marc Jacobs range is my favourite as they are all amazing.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh Sunshine was the first scent that I purchased from this range and I ended up going back to Boots the same day to buy Daisy Sunshine. These three are joint second favourites after Jimmy Choo Flash!


2013 also saw the release of Chanel Chance, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche in large 150ml bottles. They were previously only available in smaller bottles; 100ml and 50ml.
I bought Chanel Chance and Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche in 150ml bottles, but I already had a nearly full 100ml bottle of Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and I didn't have another £80.00 to spare.

3 new release fragrances I cannot wait to try!





I found out about these fragrances on www.fragrantica.com, where you can read about new, old or future fragrances and I have been waiting for these three for months.

I really loved the original Jimmy Choo fragrance and I was even more thrilled by Flash, their more recent release. Earlier this year I found out that Jimmy Choo would be releasing Exotic due out in June 2013, but I have not come across a bottle yet.
The notes are listed as blackcurrant sorbet, fresh pink grapefruit, passion flower, tiger orchid, floral accords, patchouli and gourmand raspberry. It sounds delicious and I love the bottle, similarly designed to the original Jimmy Choo fragrance, but with a bright pink cube lid and the fragrance itself is a juicy berry colour.






I love Juicy Couture's Viva La Juicy and I also love Viva La Juicy La Fleur. I love the big chunky glass bottles that they come in and I greedily always opt for the biggest available so I have the 100ml Viva La Juicy and the 150ml Viva La Juicy La Fleur.
I am really looking forward to trying the new Juicy Couture fragrance due to be released in July 2013, Viva La Juicy Noir.
The notes are listed as berries, mandarin, honeysuckle, gardenia, jasmine, amber, caramel, vanilla and sandalwood.
I can't wait to try it. Like Jimmy Choo Exotic, this fragrance is also a juicy berry colour and the bottle is the same shape as the original Viva La Juicy fragrance, made from chunky glass with a huge black satin bow around the neck.




Another fragrance that I've been looking forward to for what seems like forever is Marc Jacobs Honey. This fragrance is also due for release in July 2013.
In a similarly designed bottle to Dot, but with a more summery bottle. The plastic butterflies have yellow and black stripes to represent 'honey' bees.
The notes are listed as pear, mandarin orange, punch, honeysuckle, orange blossom, peach, honey, vanilla and woodsy notes.
This sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it. I love Marc Jacobs fragrance bottles as well.
