10 Fragrances On My Want List!

Here are 10 fragrances I have had on my want list for what seems like ages. There are a few new fragrances I am eager to get my hands on, but these ones seem to have been on my list for ages.

I love perfume and I have a huge collection, but there's always something more out there that I would love.


Dior's Dolce Vita is an underrated fragrance. I hardly ever hear people mention it. I love a lot of Dior's scents and the ones I own have the best longevity and projection of all of the fragrances I have.

It seems like I am the only person who doesn't own Paco Rabanne's Lady Million. It has been on my want list for ages.

I tried Vera Wang Be Jeweled when it first came out and I liked it, but never did get round to purchasing it.

I absolutely love Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb, but I couldn't choose between the eau de toilette and the eau de parfum so didn't get round to buying either. I have the Flowerbomb La Vie En Rose fragrance and I love that one too.

Sisley Soir De Lune is another fragrance I've had on my list for a while. This is a 2006 creation.

I was going to get Tom Ford Violet Blonde for Christmas last year, but then I wanted Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid which came out so Violet Blonde is still on the 'to get' list.

Gucci Flora is another classic I haven't got round to purchasing. I have a few of the garden collection versions; Glorious Mandarin (yellow) and Gorgeous Gardenia (pink).


Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia is another fragrance I would really like. It has a lovely scent; one of my favourites from Jo Malone.

I love Frederic Malle's Lipstick Rose. I tried it in Liberty's early this year and I was impressed with the scent and the longevity so it's definitely one I hope to get my hands on at some point in the future.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh is another classic that I still don't have. A lot of people have said that this is their wedding day scent. I really want to get the 125ml bottle even though it'll take me years to get through.

Huge Avon Haul!

I have been trying not to buy many clothes and shoes lately as I have run out of space for them and I am getting married this year so I am trying to save money for my wedding.

I am addicted to shopping so when money is tight I usually look at make-up for those much needed pick-me-ups. Spending  between £5 and £20 at a time is better than spending a fortune on clothes. I always manage to convince myself that one more top or dress isn't going to hurt, but it does tend to pinch a little.

I have just put an order in with Avon where I only bought what was on offer and what should have cost £92.50 cost me just £39.00.



I bought 4 of their new gel finish nail polishes in Roses Are Red, Barely There, Dazzle Pink and Lavender Sky.
I am most excited to try Barely There, a nude colour. I have also seen the red colour on a friend and it is striking. The nail polishes are £7.00 each, but I bought them on offer for £3.50 each.

Caribbean Paradise is an eau de toilette spray. The bottle looks a bit cheap, but it looks very summery and sounds lovely. It has notes of mango, hibiscus, amber and woods. The eau de toilette was £5.00, but is usually £10.50.

I have used Avon's Anew Youth-Awakening Lipstick in the past. It is good quality. I bought two of these at £3.00 each, but they are usually £10.50 each so I saved £15.00.

I have read a few good reviews of Avon's Far Away Exotic eau de parfum. I had one of the limited editions, Far Away Dreams from a few years ago and it was lovely; very light and summery. I haven't actually had the original Far Away, though it's been out for years.

I also bought one of Avon's Luxe Lipsticks, which I am excited to try. The gold coloured casing looks lovely and I'm sure the lipstick will be great. I have used dozens of Avon's lipsticks in the past and have never been too disappointed.

Tahaitan Holiday is another light, summery eau de toilette. One of my friends has this one so I have tried it before. It smells of coconut.

I'm looking forward to my order arriving..
