Perfume: Miss Dior (Cherie)

It's been roughly 15 years since the first release of Miss Dior Cherie. It was one of the first fragrances I wanted, and favoured by people like Sarah from Clothesencounters and Elle Fowler of AllThatGlitters21. Despite its reformulations and changes over the years, Miss Dior (Cherie) will always have a special place in my heart. The first rendition of Miss Dior Cherie promised caramel popcorn, beautifully sweet for someone in their youth. I never really caught whiff of popcorn, but certainly the sweetness of caramel. I was thrown off on initial sniff because I was so used to the scents my mother enjoyed from Dior's range: Poison and Dune. It was also not quite as grown-up and sophisticated as J'adore, which may have been best suited for someone in their 30s. Soap and Glory's Clean On Me and The Righteous Butter range is similar to this formulation of Miss Dior Cherie and I used to enjoy layering them together. I had to say farewell to my bottle (having finished ...

Beauty: Miss Dior Le Parfum

Miss Dior Le Parfum is the newest addition to my perfume collection and I'm officially going to be on a low-buy for the rest of the year for all my skincare, cosmetics, makeup and fragrances. I've had my eye on this fragrance for over a year and have debated in my head countless of times until I finally went out and bought it with a friend, who also wanted and loved the fragrance. I have been holding onto my sample of Le Parfum for a while now, using it sparingly and whenever I wanted to be reminded of the scent, as well as taking a spritz from the counter every once in a while.

It was an expensive purchase but like with any perfume, it's an investment. The more quality oils and the more concentrated, the pricier it is. Miss Dior Le Parfum oozes sophistication and sensuality with ...

My Style: Signature Fragrance

This is a new segment. It serves as a log for my style and its evolution. This can be anything from clothes and accessories to makeup and perfume - things that contribute towards an outfit.  Fragrances had made a mark on me since I was small. My mother has a small collection of perfumes which I wore occasionally as a child. My first perfume was Dior J'adore. I wore it only on special occasions but I wouldn't consider that my signature because I only wore it a couple of times a year. A signature fragrance is one that you want people to associate with you and it hints something about your personality. It's not one that goes along with fashion but it reflects your style. If you wear it frequently enough, people will begin to associate that scent with you. My signature fragrance was Annick Goutal's Petite Cherie EDT. I loved it for a while but I've felt a need for change. It's definitely a scent for a girl but not deep enough for woman. Another reason for the ...
