Top 3.....

Perfumes! 

I love perfume and have quite a collection but if I was only allowed to use 3 perfumes for the rest of my life these would be the ones....

1. Tom Ford Private Bland Tobacco Vanille 
Private Blend: Tobacco Vanille Tom Ford for women and men
This is my all time favourite fragrance ever! It is a unisex fragrance and is described as being oriental spicy. This fragrance may not be for everyone. I get alot of compliments but none of my friends would wear it themselves which is part of the appeal to me, I like to have a signature fragrance so when I wear something everyone knows its me. The only drawback to this is the hefty price tag at around £135 for a 50ml bottle it was a slightly painful purchase but I would definitely treat myself again. 

Top Notes: Tobacco leaf, spicy notes
Middle Notes: Tonka bean, tobacco blossom, vanilla, cacao 
Base Note: Dried fruits, woody notes


2. Dolce&Gabbanna The One 
The One Dolce&Gabbana for women
This is possibly one of the most seductive fragrances I have tried. It settles beautifully on the skin and is quite a warm fragrance. It is described as having oriental floral-fruity which is warm and sensual with a powdery vanilla trace. If you have not tried this before and want something special give it a go you won't be disappointed. This fragrance starts at around £35 for a 30ml bottle so slightly more reasonable than the Tom Ford. 

Top Notes: Litchi, mandarin orange, peach, bergamot
Middle Notes: Lily, plum, jasmine, lily-of-the-valley
Base Notes: Amber, musk, vanilla, vetiver 


3. Lancome La Vie Est Belle
La Vie Est Belle  Lancome for women
This fragrance was released in 2012 and is the first new fragrance that really wowed me and so it should; perfumers Oliver Polge, Dominique Ropion and Anne Flipo eventually finalized the formula after 3 years of probation and 5521 different versions. All that hard work paid off it is truly magnificent. It is a floral-fruity fragrance with an oriental hint with iris as the key ingredient. Prices start at around £38.50 for a 30ml. 

Top Notes: Blackcurrant, pear
Middle Notes: Iris, jasmine, orange blossom
Base Notes: Patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, praline
