Thoughts on perfumes
When I look for a fragrance, I look for sweet and musky fragrances in my choice of preferred perfumes. Something that oozes my personality through a scent.
To me, each perfume and scent has a memory attached to it. You’ll always smell that one perfume and remember the incredible night-out you had with your besties or the calm day you spent with yourself. A scent can play such a big role in all our lives.
My all-time favourite fragrance is Black Opium by YSL. Since the fragrance is warm and spicy infused with coffee and vanilla it makes me feel very empowered.
Her list of favourite fragrances:
Black Opium by YSL
Poison by Dior
Chance by Chanel
Flowerbomb by Victor&Rolf
Burberry Brit Eau De Toilette
