In search of a perfect perfume



Sweet yet sexy, subtle and feminine the kind of scent I want. I've read all the articles about finding the one perfect perfume, dreamt about mixing my own scent and even meeting a perfume angel who will give me the secret formula to a perfect scent only I have in the whole wide world! But of course there's no perfume angel so I resort to 'cvtps' or 'constant visit to the perfume store.' I had to explain to the lady each time that I am in search for “the one’” perfect one and that I have to try it first and see if the scent works well with my body chemistry, if I will still like the smell after a couple of hours, if my troop likes the smell & if birds starts following me...then I'll buy it. and each time she will suggest something that are either too strong or so not me, and I want to give her the 'ELP ELF' "thanks for your hELP, i'll find it mysELF" lol so here are the nominees:



As was described on their website : "Sheer sensuality. Crystal transparency and luminous brightness: Versace introduces the new bright crystal. A precious jewel of rare beauty characterized by a fresh, vibrant, flowery scent". I love this scent.



Flower Bomb by Victor and Rolf





Miss Dior Chérie

A modern take on the classic fragrance . , In the words of Galliano“as fashion evolves, so must its scent, and the essence of the new fragrance must be as modern as the fashion.”


This dazzling blend of sensual peony, jasmine, and pink pepper is melded with notes of sweet litchi and effervescent pomegranate and pineapple, and smoothed with soothing musk, white tea, and warm woods, is guaranteed to make her the object of desire.

Happy Spirit by Chopard



Daisy by Marc Jacobs




Chanel N5, It's a classic for a reason.



Burberry Brit, a sweet mixture of sugar and spice, sugared almond and white peony, amber, mahoganywood, tonka beans and vanilla. I'm digging this one :P


Van Cleef & Arpels Feerie

I like the unusual bottle design, a fairy sitting on a twig, so cute! i wish it's tickled pink bottle instead of blue but it's inspired by midsummer nights jewelry collection. The scent, well by the perfumer Antoine Maisondieu a mix of sweet berry over creamy-powdery violet, the notes: violet, red berries, mandarin, rose, jasmine, iris and vetiver.





Cruel Gardenia by Guerlain.

A perfume to play with emotions and memories of childhood? I got really curious about this one curious about this one. A note from the scented salamander says: "A fragrance on the verge of cruelty. It's like a wonderful childhood memory, often replayed in one’s mind with a lovely feeling of nostalgia very close to the threshold of pain. Cruel Gardénia stuns the senses with diabolical power. Its notes – sunny, silky smooth and lingering – can become an obsession. Counter to tradition, Guerlain avoided creating any impression of opulence by deploying the gardenia in combination with the finest and most precious white musks, for a soft, velvety aura. One encounter with this incredibly feminine fragrance is like a shot to the heart. And there it stays, forever. How does the magic work? Essence of damask rose with hints of peach and neroli create a refreshing initial burst of florals. Gradually, the scent of gardenia develops with the grace of violet, warmed by ylang ylang from the Comoros and white musks. These lingering notes, present from the beginning, for m the backbone of the composition. Essence of Tonka bean sustains the white musks and moves into a sensuous note of vanilla and sandalwood.
