Perfume is the key to all our memories

It’s amazing how a specific scent or smell can bring back memories from a certain period of your life. Sometimes it’s memories of a person, and other times it’s just a memory of an event…I know whenever I smell an Impulse body spray it brings back memories of getting changed after PE, and how we used to all share the same body spray amoungst friends.

I know as the years passed my personal taste in perfume and scents has changed and while I used to adore floral scents, now I cannot stand them…unless they’re extremely subtle or just an addition to another scent. As well as this I used to hate musky scents, I thought they were too heavy and too masciline (althought I loved them on a guy) but now some of my favourite scents are quite heavy and masciline, and with every year my collection of perfumes and body mists continue to expand further.

Tom Ford – Arabian Wood (discontinued)

Now this is probably my favourite perfume at the moment, I’m absolutely obsessed with it and it’s absolutely perfect for a date night as it’s quite a heavy and musky fragrance when I say quite I mean very but it has a very woody undertone to it and I absolutely adore it. This is a very different perfume from my previous favourite, which was Taylor Swift Wonderstruck, but I feel like this Tom Ford is a lot more grown up and sophisticated, I just have to use it carefully as this particular scent is actually no longer available.

So…? Dark Romance* (£5.99)

Now, this perfume is the more affordable, more accessible little sister of Tom Ford – Arabian wood, except this perfume, is quite as heavy and is slightly more classically musky opposed to with the addition of wood. I typically pop this scent on if I’m heading out with friends for dinner as it’s a nice scent but not too overpowering. When I first smelt it, it very much reminded me of my favourite scent growing up (So…? Sinful) but a lot more mature and sophisticated.

So…? Wild Berries* (£3.99)

Body mists are always great just to throw in your handbag to re-apply throughout the day without having to worry about applying too much, and this is one of my favourite scents to do this with when I’m on holiday. It’s a fruity scent which is fun and I feel is just absolutely perfect to apply when I’m lazing around the pool or heading out to visit the local shops to see what souvenirs I can find. Plus since it’s in a plastic bottle it’s not likely to smash in transit.

Obviously, you could easily wear this mist whenever you wanted depending on your personal preference, I could see this also working really well around Christmas time, what with all the berry related lip shades and colours. But personally this is more of a spring/summer scent and I really cannot wait to pull it back out in 2018.

So…? Vanilla* (£3.99)

If you know me then you know I love anything vanilla, scent-wise and food wise, therefore it was obvious there was going to be a vanilla based scent in this post. I typically wear this mist every day and I’m always complimented on it and people think it’s a much more expensive perfume when in fact it’s just a £3.99 body mist. I prefer this Vanilla scent over the Vanilla Milkshake (also by So…?) as it’s not quite as sickly sweet, but still has that classic vanilla scent to it. Could I say the word scent anymore in that paragraph?

Zoella Sweet Inspirations (£8.00)

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while you’ll know I did a post on Testing Zoella Beauty and this was my favourite scent. While it is a vanilla based scent it also has a couple of other fragrances to it. I love to wear this to work as it keeps me smelling pleasant but is too overpowering…especially as I work around food. My only issue with this scent is that it’s not very long lasting, although when I use the body cream from the same collection I find that together they keep me smelling like a freshly baked macaroon…the dream life.

Snow’ella* (£12.00)

With the holiday season fast approaching, the release of this clean scent from Zoella is absolutely perfect. While I haven’t worn it a lot, every time I do, I absolutely adore it. Now the colder weather is creeping it, I can see myself reaching for this scent more and more as time goes on, and I can’t wait to spritz some on for Christmas day. Snow’ella is getting me excited and making me hope that it might snow this year, as I don’t think we’ve had any snow actually lay for a couple of years now (I know I’ve not experienced a full-on snow day since being at uni). So here’s hoping for a white Christmas, but if this doesn’t occur then this scent alone smells like freshly laid snow.
