My Favourite Fragrances

March 15, 2007 Paris B 4 Comments

Tine tagged me on Champagne Tastes some time back. I’m sorry to say it sorta got shoved to the back of the cupboard for a while as things got hairy in real life. I never forgot it however, so Tine, here are my favourite fragrances. I coudln’t find 5 – sad or not? heh… Oh and don’t expect to get some write up about notes and things – I only know if it smells good on me or not thats all 😛

Chris 1947

I bought this at DFS (Duty Free Galleria) when it was still in Kuala Lumpur (its since closed down) because I loved the smell. The bottle is also terribly cute in pink with a clear lucite cap. It smells sweet and though I’ve read online its meant for evening use, I love it for the day as I think it smells rather fresh. It was limited edition I believe so I can’t get it anymore – boohoo! I’m hoarding the one bottle I have though.

Stella

I love Stella McCartney’s first perfume. It reminds me of London where I first bought it at Heathrow as I was leaving. It smells light and of roses to me. I absolutely adore it even if the smell fades away after a while. The bottle is also really nice in a luxurious cut design in purple glass.

Gucci II

Gucci II was given to me one birthday. Its sweet but rather unusual, which is why I like it. I don’t normally do well with sweet perfumes. I find it rather sharp at first, but it mellows down to a powdery scent which suits me fine.

Alexander McQueen – Kingdom

Yet another perfume that brings back memories of London. This time, of Selfridges on a cold Spring evening. This is rather musky and not everyone will like it. I on the other hand, love it as every time I smell it, I’m transported to the city I enjoy being in at a time of year I enjoy too! The bottle is interesting even if its a little hard to spritz.

There you have it. My favourite fragrances! I think I’m going to tag PinkElle again (because she needs some traffic lol!) and Mae to see what their faves are!

    Ooooh I do like Chris 1947. My aunt got that for me for my birthday, and I’ve been saving it for important occasions. Didn’t realise it was a limited edition though.

    Stella’s feels like a “malay lady” smell to me. I asked my malay classmates, and they also thought the same. Quite funny! 🙂

Famous last words 😅 Can’t believe how tiny he was last CNY. I could make him do whatever I wanted. Now, he’s got a mind of his own and it’s “no treats, no work!” 🤪
It’s an unusual Chinese New Year this year. It’s the first time since I left home that I did not make an early morning drive home for CNY for the reunion dinner (I always do so to beat traffic). It’s the first time I’m spending CNY in KL. It’s the first time my hair is looking such a mess for CNY 😂
Regardless, we do this not for ourselves but for others so we can have more joyful CNY celebrations to come. 
Wishing all of you a Happy, healthy Chinese New Year filled with Ox-picious tidings 🧧 Gong Xi Fa Cai and enjoy the festive break! ❤️
Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dre Low key CNY celebrations this year. No need to dress up or put on makeup since we’re staying home, but I’ll be damned if I don’t smell like a million bucks from head to toe! 🥰
I never appreciated hair mists but the Chanel No. 5 Hair Mist is a nice, light way to enjoy the perfume. Who says you can only spray on your hair? 😬
What’s your CNY shaping up like?
