Narciso Rodriguez for Her by Narciso Rodriguez
This is a sexy, almost animalistic scent, yet at the same time very feminine, in an old-fashioned, classic perfume manner. The combination of the two - animalistic and feminine/ladylike results in a unique scent with true 'va-voom'!

Par Amour by Clarins
I disagree with most of the reviews here. This is a surprisingly unique, high-quality scent. I would describe it as vibrant and warm, with decidedly classic yet fresh tones. The more I wear this one the more I like it.

Very Irrésistible by Givenchy
At first spray this perfume seems overly sweet - an almost cloying juxtaposition of fruit and floral. But then the dry down is something divine - a sexy, rich vanilla and sweet rose, and maybe a touch of amber? I love this one - it is truly scrumptious.

Peony Roses by Sohum
An old fashioned floral scent - beautifully crafted. Very sweet on the top notes but with enough intensity and depth to give it some real allure. A rich powdery rose/peony - true to its name.

Gardenia Royal by Il Profumo
This heady perfume is reminiscent of a really old-fashioned scent, yet it is still fresh - not at all powdery. Begins rather green and wet but sweetens and thickens as I wear it. A little goes a very long way- It may be cloying to some but is nonetheless a gorgeous fragrance. Cannot imagine males ever wearing this as it is sweet and very feminine.

Divine by Divine
A classic, high-quality floral- sharp on the skin but softens down with a hint of something musky. Unfortunately it is a bit boring- nothing mysterious, groundbreaking, captivating.

Tiptoeing Through Chambers of the Moon by Pilar and Lucy
Someone out there should love this- beautifully made, complex scent. But too sweet and intense for me- I needed something more 'grown-up' and mysterious.

Violetta di Parma by Borsari
A lovely, well-formulated scent. However,with my skin's chemistry it smells a little too soapy and sweet- I found myself wanting to smell more elegant and warm, not sweet and soapy.

4711 Echt Kölnisch Wasser by 4711
This was one of the first scents I owned- as a little one my mother for some reason would receive a bottle every Christmas (it seemed to me!)but it gave her a headache so I was always given the pretty little coin-shaped bottles. I still have my first bottle, and although I never wear it as an adult, 4711 is very special to me.

April Violets by Yardley
One of my favourite scents as a child- I still have a bottle for nostalgic reasons but do not wear it. I adore violet perfumes but this one is too sweet and simplistic to my adult nose. Beautiful to sniff unexpectedly but not complex enough to keep my senses enthralled.

No. 5 by Chanel
I wish I could love this classic perfume but I do not- to me it smells downright odd- powdery and overpowering.

Bulgari pour Femme by Bulgari
I used to wear this frequently but these days cannot wear it much at all. A powdery quality seems to linger in my nose when I wear it- but this could be because it now reminds me of a former lover. Ah, the power of smell and memory!

Vera Wang by Vera Wang
I adore this perfume- it is intense but still feminine and really delicate. I love being surrounded by the scent of roses and white flowers- I feel like a princess when I wear it.

Paris by Yves Saint Laurent
My all-time favourite perfume. It is everything to me- elegant, subtly sexy, enchanting, pretty but 'grown-up' at the same time. My favourite perfume to wear to special occasions but I love it so much I wear it everywhere! Never without a bottle.
