Eau de Campagne by Sisley
I cannot be without this in the summer. Every perfume collection should have a palate-cleanser and this is mine. The perfect antidote to any overly strong, sickly, sweet or artifical scents. Just wonderfully refreshing.

Eau du Soir by Sisley
I'm still not sure if I can carry off this perfume, but oh, I so wish I could. I agree with those who say it's all about the dry down. I prefer to spray this a few hours before I go out, so it smells its best, as it warms up over time and I know I can count on its excellent staying power.

Iced Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden
This has a nice tingly, cooling effect on contact with your skin - but smells overwhelmingly of mint and coriander. Not unpleasant, but not compelling.

Anna Sui by Anna Sui
The original Anna Sui fragrance, this, yet so much harder to find than Dreams or Love, which at one point could be whiffed on every third person down the average high street.
Certainly the boldest of the Sui scents, this isn't for everyone - heady and lingering, and less playful than her other concoctions. Still, I think it's more interesting than the other 'play perfumes' Sui has on offer.
'Vintage with a modern twist' is how it's sold, which sums it up fairly well; it has the sharp fruitiness of a Noughties smell combined with a vaguely Gothic whiff of powder, wood and dried flowers.
Difficult to explain really, but it sets itself apart from most other new smells on the market, and few people wear it. It's worth a try.

Dolly Girl by Anna Sui
I think this scent is delicious - sweet and sparkling and light.
Best treated as an even younger, even frothier YSL's Baby Doll (which is sharper and with slightly more depth and substance), it's aimed squarely at girly girls who love to play dress-up and aren't afraid of glitter in broad daylight.
As such it isn't a seductive perfume, tends not to offend or overpower, and is more likely to be liked by girls than boys, which makes it perfect for teenagers - but it suits any girl who wants to celebrate her fluffy and frivolous side.
