1320 All the Smells – Volume 3

Right then, who is excited for Volume 3? I might have driven crazy, but I can’t stop now. This is the third and final volume of this series. I hope you have enjoyed them and found a couple that you want to purchase for yourself. If you have already read Volume 1 and Volume 2 you will know what this is all about. If you haven’t here is a little bit about this post.

So, I might be a little obsessed with sprays and perfumes (maybe). I won’t lie, it got a bit out of hand and I ended up with 50. Who has space for 50 sprays/perfumes? Me, definitely not and it is driving me up the wall because everything looks cluttered. With this in mind, I thought I would share the ones I have, what I liked about them and why I bought them.

Do you know what I am on about? No? Well, I wanted to share my spray/fragrance/perfume collection with you. Turns out, I have a lot more than I thought I did. It ended up being something stupid like 8000 words long. (Yawn, I know right!)

Well here goes nothing, today I will be talking about:

Mini’s

1. Daisy Marc Jacobs Mini 5ml

2. Honey Marc Jacobs Mini 5ml

3. Jean Paul Gaultier Random Mini 3ml

4. Aromatics in White Random Mini 15ml

5. Chance Chanel Sample

6. Emporio Armani Diamonds Sample

7. L’interdit Givenchy Sample

8. Coco Chanel Sample

9. May create Sample

I am not sure where all these came from. I think family and friends assume I will just use them because I like a bit of makeup and did beauty at college. It is a nice thought, but I seem to have ended up will lots of things that I don’t get around to using but because they have been opened, I can’t donate them anywhere and I haven’t got the patience to sell them. It would be nice to sell them to get a bit of money back but if I want something gone, it needs to go. I cannot have it lying around if I am getting rid of it no matter what it is. I am trying to head towards minimalism, I am never going to get to a minimalist level because I like stuff, but I could do with being a lot less clutters. Anyway, I have four random minis’, I will see if I can find links and remember where they came from.

Daisy Marc Jacobs Mini 5ml & Honey Marc Jacobs Mini 5ml

I have heard a million and one things about these pairs. Marc Jacobs is a popular brand, well known. I mean they must be because I have heard about them. I will admit I haven’t used them much, mostly because they are too cute but also because they don’t have a spray on them. I prefer to spray things on my clothes. I have never been one to put perfume on my wrist and neck. How cute are the little daisies and the little bee? Genius idea, I would have just put a daisy and a bee on the bottle! Wouldn’t you?

Jean Paul Gaultier Random Mini 3ml

This was a little surprise gift from a friend. You know who you are. I cannot remember why, but she ended up with quite a few little minis and one day she came in to work with them and everyone got the opportunity to take one from her collection which was sweet. I am a sucker for cute bottles. Also, I cannot pass up the opportunity of a free Jean-Paul Gaultier perfume right.

Aromatics in White Random Mini 15ml

This one I believe was a freebie with an order I placed with New Look. I could be wrong; I know it was a freebie. Not a bad scent actually and I can vouch for the bottle. I dropped it corner first onto the concrete floor and it did not smash, a bit of the bottle was chipped off but the product inside was completely safe. This is a great size to pop in your bag, it is not heavy, bulky, or easily breakable. There is also a decent amount of product in there. You know some small minis get used up within a week, not this one. If you don’t drown yourself in it, I can see it lasting nicely.

Now it is time for samples. I don’t know a lot about these samples. Most of the time they are thrown into orders I have made or come free with certain things. I can’t be the only one that complete forgets about samples, they pretty much collect dust until they have dried up.

I have also never been bothered by the name of the spray I am using. Why should I spray a £200 Channel perfume when I can get a gorgeous body spray for as little as £4? Well, here are the five samples I have at the moment, they are random ones that have been thrown into orders and that have come with things that I have purchased.

• Chance Chanel

• Emporio Armai Diamonds

• L’interdit Givenchy

• Coco Chanel

• Maycreate

Once again, please do let me know if there are any of them you have tried, maybe you hate one of them, maybe you love all of them. Let me know in the comments you are feeling towards any of the above, or you can even recommend one for when I finish this lot.

I would also appreciate any feedback, did you like this series? Did you hate it? Was it boring? Was it too long? Should I have left in one post? Anything you would like to say (keep it clean and not horrible) let me know in the comments.
