The other day I
noticed that I was getting a little low on perfume. I have a couple of bottles
on my bed side, Lady Million and Loverdose, but I like to have a few to choose
from - perfume is like an accessory, different days warrant different smells,
so it is nice to have variety. After all, you wouldn’t want to wear the same
accessories day in and day out.
Whilst I was thinking
this, I was also trying to be a good girl and think thoughts my parents would
be proud of, ie "save some bloody money" but then something
brilliant happened... the next day, £30 worth of John Lewis vouchers came
through the post as part of the reward scheme for using the credit card!

So off I popped to John Lewis.
On the top of my list
was Paco Rabanne Black XS.
A gorgeously rich
smell, it is opulent and seductive yet syrupy and sugary.
With hints of cranberry, Cocoa, Black Violet, Vanilla
and Patchouli it is a distinctive sweet, feminine smell. I love it – I would
definitely recommend it.

I actually used to
work on a perfume department, and here are my top tips that I leant about
perfume:
- DON'T store fragrances near hot as the temperature can alter the smell, turning them sharp
- DON’T rub the fragrance in, rather pat it in.
- You can also put perfume on pulse points - behind the knees, ears, wrists, on the neck or in the hollow of your elbows. The skin is thin here and the heat will help carry the fragrance.
I am still on the hunt for another fragrance so let me know if you have any suggestions!
