My New Fragrances

Compliments of the New Year my pumpkins!! Hope you had a good transition into 2013. One of the things I do at the start of every year is to go for the acclaimed perfume sale @Harrods. So that usually means I only ever have to buy my fragrances once a year. It also gives way to getting other things I want for my birthday and other notable dates of the year. I didn't have much money but i managed to get myself a decent collection- all for less than £100, which would normally buy me just the one in season. At Harrods perfume sale is where I get to be creative and adventurous with my scents. I try new ones and even get to check out all the recommendations from friends. I almost always manage to surprise myself with what i get. Here's a few i got this year and why:

1). PRADA MILANO-INFUSION D"IRIS
This is not new in. I have been seeing it over the years but was overwhelmed by how i never took notice of it when i soo clearly fell in love with it this year. 
Prada Milano comes beautifully presented in this Branded coffee cosmetic bag. I do see the bag coming in handy even way after the perfume has been and gone.
RRP: 50ml RDP £54    Giftset sale price: £27.95



2). MOSCHINO CHEAPandCHIC


Exactly what is says on the pack. Its one of the lower end of the spectrum price wise, but so chic and fresh i buy it every year. Yes, thats how I'm so in love with it.

Moschino Cheap and Chic comes in fun and playful boxes. The middle is the contents, the top one is from one i purchased last year and the nearer one is the new box.
RRP: 30ml EDT- £28         Giftset sale price: £17
I only ever got it first time in a Moschino mini gift box and quite frankly, they had me at hello(have to say all that as i get so much stick for liking this one). 
Same one from last year, its just a box now that I  use for my rings. I never know how to store my jewellery(Help!!post for another day). Just liked how this box pops against the background which is by the way my nieces bedcover-cute.



3). BVLGARI OMNIA CORAL

Love love love this BVLGARI gift set. The bottles are uniquely shaped and the set includes a body lotion and a bath gel-Bliss. Tried it for the first time last year but was in Green(Jade). Went back for it but was gone gone gone. I'm told they also did it in white(Daisies) this year. Got it to try it but would I be a sellout if I told you I love it more than the one i got last year??
RRP:40ml EDT-£43                    Giftset Sale price: 40ml EDT- £23.


HERE ARE SOME SOME OF MINE FROM LAST YEAR'S HAUL 


BALENCIAGA PARIS. Everything about this is perfection. Contains 75ml EDP, 75ml Body Lotion and a purse size EDP which is probably between 15-20ml's, I couldn't be sure. Reason why its almost new is how much I love it. I only pull out for very very special occasions.
RRP: 75ml EDP- £75              Giftset sale price: £40
VICTOR & ROLF FLOWERBOMB- Arguably one of my favourite ever perfume.  Someone said to me they could swallow me whole when i wore that. lol. That stuck with me.
RRP: 50ml EDP - £65
And now for the drumroll!!!!!! NARCISO RODRIGUEZ for her . This is my favourite of all my fragrances. Unfortunately, the high end fragrances never really go in the sale but its one of those I never mind paying full price for- "coz its worth it".
RRP: 100ml EDP- £74
All perfumes were purchased from Harrods, although prices may differ as some were purchased last year/in the sale.

Pease feel free to share your faves, I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting  fragrances. Much love,xxx
