scent of a woman

Its obvious that smelling good is part of the dress code at all times. Whether you are at work or at a special event it is essential that you smell good. It goes without saying that one should also not over use or do what is called "perfume-abuse". But the problem with perfumes is that the good ones are a bit expensive, atleast for us, the student-non-earning-low-allowance community. Although that is NO excuse to buy cheap ones..! What I recommend is that one should save for like a few months and then invest in a really good one. Another (self tested) advice is whenever travelling abroad, specially with parents, pick some up from the duty free.It is much cheaper there and the variety is positively mind boggling !
One of my most favorite things about perfumes is the bottles they come in!.. The beautiful glass bottles adorned with surreal colors & fonts makes you truly wanna indulge. Another brilliant feature of perfumes is that they are liquid thus environment friendly, as they don't release any CFCs unlike deodorants. Also if used with care they last long in terms of both fragrance and quantity.Oh..! also they are one of THE BEST gifts.
     Anyway, enough of talking. time for some photos !

1. GUCCI--ENVY ME


first of all..i LOVE the name ! This was my first perfume which I bought on my 16th birthday by saving my allowance. I have great affinity for it since it was my first (hehe) ! & it smells divine and look at the bottle..isn't it gorgeous !

2. NINA RICCI--APPLE
this one will make you feel beautiful. and the smell lingers for REALLY long. I just finished a bottle sometime back. Must have !


3. DAVIDOFF-- COOL WATER
this one is what I'm using at the moment. Although it sounds summery its perfect for any climate. Also its comparatively not that expensive and very easily available. Plus its good for all ages.













4. DIOR-- MISS DIOR


this one is my next! It smells perfect for a girl in her early twenties :) I love the little bow on it <3
I Totally recommend it !














5. GIVENCHY-- VERY IRRESISTIBLE
Another one with a brilliant name !This one has been on my wishlist for quiet sometime now. Gonna totally get it after miss dior ! ;) This one is also available "for him" . Needless to say, it smells amazing !








6. THIERRY MUGLER-- ALIEN
Doesn't the bottle look SO frikkin kool? this is another item one on my wishlist. I love the fragrance, the color and the bottle!..It would look so perfect kept..well..anywhere..! But don't let the name creep you out, It does not smell like an alien !(lol..not that i know how an alien would smell) but totally classy yet quirky !





7. CALVIN KLEIN-- BEAUTY
this one is here purely as a gift recommendation. Its something my mom uses and well its actually perfect for slightly older women. great gift on mothers day or a wedding anniversary (you can help your dad by suggesting this!).








8. ESTE'E LAUDER-- PLEASURES
This should have been much higher on this page! I have somewhat recently finished using this and all I would say is "don't let the bottle fool you !" Its a simple looking(almost to the extent of boring) bottle but the fragrance is one the BEST. It lives up to its name & brand!..MUST HAVE for all ages !!








These are among the best ones that I have had. Next time you think of indulging, indulge in a perfume! An expensive dress might get boring after three events but a perfume would interest you for much longer.. trust me on that ! Treat yourself on your birthday by saving up for your perfect/signature fragrance.Which one do you use? any suggestions or recommendations of good perfumes is welcome !
