My Perfume Collection

Be prepared for possibly the most awkward post to write, as portraying scents online is not easy. I’ll be sure to include all the notes, so that should give you a better idea. I was inspired to do this post after seeing a video from Kathleen Lights, and my collection is nowhere near hers, but I still love it.

This is my perfume collection!

Viktor & Rolf | Flowerbomb

I included this perfume in my January favourites, and it has quickly become one all my time favourites. This is an incredibly popular perfume, and it’s easy to see why. Even though it’s floral it’s not over whelming, it’s a little musky so it’s not a pure floral scent. It’s a nice mix that works really well. It lasts a long amount of time on me, and I like how it isn’t an overpowering scent. I’d say this is one of my favourites from my perfume collection!

Top Notes: Bergamot, Tea and Osmanthus

Middle Notes: Jasmine, African Orange Flower, Freesia, Rose and Orchid

Base Notes: Musk and Patchouli

YSL | Black Opium

This is another perfume I’ve mentioned on my blog before. It’s an all time favourite, but I only tend to wear it in Autumn and Winter. It’s really strong, and it’s very easy to spray too much. I spray this twice and find that I’m good to go. It lasts really well on me and is a truly beautiful scent.

Top Notes:  Pink Pepper, Orange Blossom and Pear

Middle Notes: Coffee and Jasmine

Base Notes: Vanilla, Patchouli and Cedar-wood

Chanel | Coco Mademoiselle 

I absolutely adore this perfume, it smells incredible, and I save it for occasions. Unlike Black Opium I find this to be a soft scent that isn’t as strong. I do hate that this doesn’t seem to last on me, which is partly why I haven’t worn it in so long.

Top Notes: Bergamot, Grapefruit and Orange

Middle Notes: Jasmine, Rose and Litchi

Base Notes: Musk, Patchouli, Vanilla and Vetiver

Valentino | Donna Acqua

This is another strong scent, that you really don’t need much of. It’s also worth mentioning that this smells different to Valentino Donna. This one is a lot sweeter, and something I wear more in Summer. Even though I love the packaging, I hate that it doesn’t come with a lid, as I feel like I can’t travel with this.

Top Notes: Pear and Almond

Middle Notes: Jasmin and Frangipani

Base Notes: Sandalwood and Hawthorn

Estée Lauder | Bronze Goddess 

This perfume is literally summer in a bottle. It’s a dreamy scent that I use a lot for summer evenings. You know when you’re on holiday and you got out at night? This is what I’ll be wearing.

Top Notes: Mandarin Orange, Ginger and Bergamot

Middle Notes: Jasmine, Coconut and Frangipani

Base Notes: Vanilla, Cashmere Wood, Musk and Amber

Sarah Jessica Parker | Stash Unspoken

I am beyond confused, as I remember writing a blog post on this perfume, but it’s nowhere to be seen. It’s gone, and I’m not quite sure why. Anyway, I was sent this perfume and I absolutely love it, and I’m not normally one for Celebrity fragrances. It lasts a long time on me, and I love wearing this during the day. It’s more on the sweet side, but it is also a little musky.

Top Notes: Pink Pepper and Quince

Middle Notes: Wisteria, Honeysuckle and Peony

Base Notes: Musk, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean and Olibanum

Those are my favourite perfumes that I have out on display, and these are the ones that sit in a box at the back. They are still good, but not my most reached for. Lets get into the rest of my perfume collection!

Ariana Grande | Ari

Did I want this purely because it’s by Ariana Grande?… Yes, yes I did. I hate to say it, but I’m not keen on this at all. To me this has nothing to it, it’s just overly sweet. My 14-year-old self would love this and that might be the problem. I’m not the target market.

Top Notes: Pear, Grapefruit and Raspberry

Middle Notes: Lily, Rose and Vanilla Orchid

Base Notes: Musk, Woody Notes and Marshmallow

Estée Lauder | Bronze Goddess Eau Fraîche Skinscent 2015

I’m not 100% sure on how the Eau Fraîche works, but it’s a limited edition scent that comes out with the summer collections; I think. I now can’t find any Bronze Goddess online, so it might just be a summer thing. I’m not sure. I know, I’m helpful. This is very much a summer perfume, it reminds me of being on the beach without being overly tropical.

Top Notes: Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Lemon and Orange

Middle Notes: Jasmine, Magnolia, Orange Blossom and Tiare Flower

Base Notes: Amber, Coconut Milk, Vetiver, Sandalwood, Vanilla and Myrrh

Kat Von D | Saint

I really don’t like this perfume anymore. To me it is another generic sweet scent. Which is weird because before I got this I would smell the tester and love it. This is another perfume that 14-year-old me would love, it’s just too sickly sweet.

Top Notes: Clary Sage and Mirabelle

Middle Notes: Jasmine, Almond Blossom and Lily

Base Notes: Vanilla, Cedar, Peach and Musk

That is everything! I’ve decided not to include body mists, as this post is long already. That was my perfume collection!

What’s your favourite perfume?

    Looks like we share a couple of favourites, Hannah! I am a huge fan of Black Opium and Coco Mademoiselle. Have you tried Miss Dior? It is such a cult-classic as well. I have a feeling you’re going to like it xx

Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
