2015 perfume releases!

I am excited to try the new fragrances due for release in 2015 especially Jimmy Choo's new fragrance, Blossom.


It is to be released in the same bottle design as Flash, but with a deep pink bottle.
Flash is my favourite fragrance. I love it! I have bought it as a gift for lots of my family and friends as well since it came out at the beginning of 2013.

Flash London Club was released earlier in 2014 and that is another lovely scent, which is similar to Flash, but I think Blossom is going to be something rather different.
The top notes of citrus and red fruits of which raspberry dominates.
The heart notes are sweet pea and rose.
The base notes are sandalwood and white musk.

It sounds interesting and I can't wait to try it, but for me I don't think anything can live up to the original Flash.


Nina Ricci's 2015 release sounds like it is going to be super sweet and the bottle helps to illustrate this. The fragrance is called Les Délices de Nina.


It will be available in 50ml and 75ml bottles. Usually Nina Ricci releases 30ml, 50ml or 80ml bottles.

The bottle makes me hungry just looking at it and the fragrance sounds like a bakery-sweet, gourmand.
The fragrance has top notes of mandarin and lemon, heart notes of strawberry and caramel and base notes of raspberry extract, praline and white musk.
I'm excited to give this one a go. I think it'll be lovely, but I tend to find sweet fragrances like this don't last long on your skin.


I mentioned in a previous post that Marc Jacobs will be releasing new limited edition Daisy and Daisy Eau So Fresh fragrances next year.

I have been really impressed by the Sunshine editions and 2014's Delight editions so I don't think the Sorbet editions are likely to disappoint.


Daisy Sorbet has top notes of pink grapefruit, pear and passion fruit.
The heart notes are wisteria, jasmine and lily of the valley.
The base notes are violet, wood, cedar and musk.

This one sounds gorgeous. I love the scent of passion fruit and I'm sure this fragrance will be done well. I think the floral and woody notes will give the fragrance a bit more depth so that the passion fruit isn't too sickly sweet.


Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet will be released by the side of Daisy Sorbet.
Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet has top notes of mandarin, apple blossom and lotus.
The heart notes are magnolia, jasmine and violet.
The base notes are woods and musk.
A lot of the heart and base notes are similar in the two fragrances. I think Daisy Eau So Fresh Sorbet will be the softer of the two and Daisy Sorbet will be bolder.


I am looking forward to trying these fragrances too and will probably end up purchasing them both.

So it looks like we have some lovely spring scents to look forward to next year. I'm sure there'll be many more wonderful fragrance releases announced in the new year as well.

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.
