perfume haul!

today was a mega perfume shopping day! about a week ago the staff welfare committee in school sent out a price list from a distributor offering pretty good rates on a lot of branded perfumes. i'd been eyeing a new perfume for a long time.

the first perfume i ever bought (or rather my dad bought for me on my request) was Ralph By Ralph Lauren For Women.  a very light fruity and flowery smell that got me hooked from a scratch-and-sniff sample in Seventeen magazine. then i moved on to Happy By Clinique For Women, given to me as a wedding present by a good friend. citrusy and flowery, i liked wearing it, but ended up using the hubby's Happy By Clinique For Men. Cologne Spray 3.4 Ounces a lot more as the citrus element was more distinct. the women's version was simply to brightly floral for my tastes.

next stop after that was Hugo by Hugo Boss for Women. loved loved loved this perfume. i have to say that i loooove most of the Hugo perfumes, although they do tend to be a little heavy and musky for those girls who like their flowery citrusy scents. unfortunately hubby likes the flowery citrusy scents and he didn't really like the Hugo Woman on me.

i did buy another bottle of ralph by ralph lauren for women after the Hugo Woman, but realised that I'd long ago outgrown that particular scent. and so the hunt began for a new one. so what did i get today?



i bought two!  L'eau D'issey By Issey Miyake For Women on the left and FLOWER by Kenzo on the right. both fabulous smelling perfumes that are absolutely feminine but yet gives me that hint of muskiness that i love in a perfume! i'm amazed frankly at the staying power of the issey miyake right now. i sprayed on a little on my hand to test out the perfume about 4 hours ago and the scent is still going strong. and i got these at really bargain prices, both bottles for less than the full price of the issey miyake at a department store!

so happy! AND, the shopping didn't stop there. mum and her friends also had a list of perfumes that they wanted and i'm just going to post images of what they bought:


have a happy, gorgeous-smelling day, you!
