Tara's Top 4 Perfume Picks

Jo Malone Redcurrant & Cream : This is a must have for the fall, you have that warmth of the "cream" but the tart berry smell brings a brightness and girly note to this fragrance. It is great to layer for that warmer note for any of your favorite sugary or fruity summer fragrances.

Jo Malone Wildbluebell : This is by-far my favorite and most used perfume. It's fresh and fruity, a scent that is perfect for everyday that is not overwhelming in any way. This is not a fragrance that will last all day, but it is a very clean scent that won't give you (or those around you) a headache. I would love to repurchase this scent in the full size so I have enough to spray whatever and whomever I please ! (:

BCBGMAXAZRIA : This was one of those fragrances I found by walking past someone and loving how they smelled! (creepy? maybe.) I asked them what scent they were wearing and -I'm not joking- she pulls out this pretty glass bottle from her bottomless purse! It's very fresh and girly while being not too flowery, despite the look of the bottle. Great if you have a date night, or heck, if you want a random stranger to complement you on your lovely smell! (;

Wonderstruck by Taylor Swift : Not going to lie, I mainly got this scent because of my limitless love for Taylor Swift-she can  go no wrong in my eyes. *swoons* But this is one of my favorite scents nonetheless- it's fruity yet fresh -have I said that enough times in this post? I think you can see a theme happening here- to me, I always smell grape undertones in this fragrance, it might just be the grape-like bottle... I am thinking of picking up her other two newest perfumes as well to add to my collection!


What are your top scent picks? Do you own any of my favorites? What other fragrances would you recommend to me, knowing my "fruity-fresh" perfume picks?

Lani's Top 4 Perfume Picks

I remember reading an article in Nylon about whether you're a one-scent kinda gal or the kind that chooses based on mood. And I was obviously the second one-I can't get enough of perfumes! It's one of those things that you don't necessarily need to have a closet full of...but it's fun to have a nice collection, right?! There's something so satisfying about being able to choose what kind of perfume you want to wear for the day! Without further ado, here are my absolute favorites at the moment!

Jo Malone Wild Bluebell Cologne - When I first smelled this inside of Bloomingdale's it was such a typical girly scent and I just swooned over it! It's a very light floral and smells like a more sophisticated honeysuckle. It actually reminded me of Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen's Coast to Coast perfume that I wore when I was in middle school (I know, how embarrassing). The only downside is that the scent fades pretty quick, but luckily I have this giant bottle so I'm pretty liberal with my sprays!
Diptyque Philosykos - This perfume is indescribably amazing-it's green and earthy but has a warmness to it-almost kind of milky? It's described as a fig scent, encapsulating all aspects of the fig (the tree, leaf, fruit...you get it) but it almost smells a bit like a coconut to me. It wears sooo nicely as it starts off really green and eventually wears down to warmer notes.
D&G L'Imperatrice - Believe it or not, this perfume like is actually unisex although I can't really imagine a guy wearing this! It's a very floral and fruity smell, without that overly sickening sweet part that always seems to plague most fruity perfumes. It's definitely more fresh, some even describe it as "aquatic" but I have no clue what that means. Perfume lingo is so weird.
Jo Malone Orange Blossom - Tara bought me this perfume for my birthday and it's currently a favorite of mine-I've been spritzing it on like crazy before I go to school! The scent is so citrusy, it smells exactly like an orange rind. It's summery and fresh, a definite must-have for any citrus fans out there!

I definitely have my eye on the next scents that I would love to try out-specifically Dafne by Olo Fragrance and L'Ombre Dans L'eau by Diptyque.

I'm always on the hunt for another scent so what's your favorite? And what types of scents do you usually lean towards? xx
