I am a massive sucker for flowery perfumes, the more like a flower I smell, the better! And the fact that spring is soon approaching is so exciting to me as I can actually wear my favourite perfumes without feeling silly and out of season!
After reading Aprils issue of Glamour today I came across a very exciting new collection... It was the beautiful Flora by Gucci The Garden Collection! Obviously 'garden' immediately screamed FLOWERY SCENT to me, so I had to go to boots to track them down! I located all three perfumes and tested them out along with my picky boyfriend. We both agreed we loved the blue coloured perfume which was named 'Glamorous Magnolia' and is a 'Glamorous Radiant Flower'. It is described as radiant freshness with smooth velvety petals and endures feminine sensuality. A beautiful description for such a yummy scent! (This will definitely be a future purchase! If I ever have enough money... sighhhh.)
I expected to prefer the pink coloured perfume out of the collection as that's the usual kind of colour I go for, 'Gorgeous Gardenia', 'An Elegant and Sensual Flower'. But I did not like this scent very much as it was a bit too sweet, even for my taste! My boyfriend and I also agreed we did not like the green coloured perfume either, 'Gracious Tuberose', 'A Charismatic And Graceful Flower'. It smelt very much like grass, and to be honest, I don't want to smell like grass!
Overall I think these scents are okay, but they are no where near as good as the original Flora by Gucci which I got for Christmas and absolutely adore!!!
On my boots trip I also discovered another gorgeous new scent, obviously a floral one! It was Miss Dior Cherie Blooming Bouquet. It smelt absolutely divine, just like a large bunch of fresh flowers. The bottle was also so cute, but again sooooooo expensive! Another wishlist item..
My favourite floral perfumes that I actually own are as I previously mentioned the beautiful Flora by Gucci. Also I am addicted to Nina Ricci scents as they are so girly and sweet! I have three of her perfumes which are Ricci Ricci, Nina, and (the unfortunately limited edition!)Le Paradis de Nina.
I really hope you enjoyed this blog and I hope it got you excited for spring! Yay for floral scents, floral dresses, flowers everywhere! Floaty Florals! (A bit cheesy maybe? Ah well!)
