My Current Favourite Fragrances

Wednesday, February 18, 2015
Perfumes are one of my favourite beauty products to buy and to receive as gifts as well; I think everyone loves to received perfume! I do have quite a large perfume collection although considering my fragrance wish list, my collection could be so much larger! Today's post is all about my three favourite fragrances of the past month or two. 

I have two fragrances from Yves Rocher; Yves Rocher was one of my favourite brands of 2014! I have loved their products, especially fragrance since before I started my blog and now I am so happy to work with them on occasion. First up, the *Yves Rocher Comme Une Evidence L'extract De Parfum (£25.50, sale, RRP £51). Until now, I didn't have a perfume in my collection with a bulb spray on it; I think it makes the bottle look so much more expensive and luxe. The bottle is just gorgeous and I think it would make such a lovely gift, especially for mothers day which is coming up next month. The perfume itself is musky but feminine and very sophisticated. I wouldn't recommend it for teenagers but I think the 25-45 age range would be perfect for this perfume; although my sister has been trying to steal it from me and she's 19 so it all depends on personal preference. 

The second fragrance from Yves Rocher is aimed at a younger audience, it is the *Yves Rocher FlowerParty By Night (£19.25 for 50ml sale, RRP £38.50) which is far less musky and evening appropriate. I love this fragrance as a daytime, casual perfume as it so easy to wear. It smells quite sugary sweet but in a good way rather than cloying or really overpowering. The longevity of both fragrances is about 6 hours on me however this will different on everyone. 

The last winter fragrance favourite is the *Library Of Fragrance Lavender Cologne (£15) which I have mentioned on my blog a couple of times already as I love it so much! I adore anything lavender scented and this is no exception; I have even been using it as a linen spray as the scent of lavender is so relaxing to me. The longevity isn't great at about 3 hours on me so I wish they would make a eau de parfum version of this cologne. It is also lovely mixed with the other fragrances they have, for example, the lavender and dark chocolate fragrances worn together is an unexpected but gorgeous pairing.

Overall, I think the Yves Rocher fragrances are just gorgeous and Yves Rocher always seems to have a sale on. Their fragrances are lovely and traditional in terms of the notes and packaging in my opinion. Whereas The Library Of Fragrances colognes are so unique! I would highly recommend all three, I have been wearing them constantly and they would also make great birthday/mothers day gifts too.

Have you tried any of these fragrances? What have been your go to fragrances this winter?
