Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf

I've been on the hunt for a new fragrance. I absolutely adore my YSL Black Opium, but sometimes find it a little heavy. I wanted something lighter, more girly but not too sweet, a combination that was actually quite tricky to find, especially as I'm quite fussy when it comes to scents anyway. After trying out goodness knows how many samples (I now have quite the collection) I decided on Flowerbomb by Viktor and Rolf. What can I say? It was love at first sniff.

'One Of Each' Wishlist

I decided to put a spin on this wishlist post, so I'm allowing myself only one item per category to make it a little more varied and maybe a bit more interested.

Clothing
Ever since this gorgeous dressed graced the Topshop website I've had the tab open, endless staring at it…is that sad? I adore the style, the colour and the simplicity of this dress. I think it could be dressed up or dressed down to look more casual. I saw it in the shop too, it looks and feels very well made, the fabric is thick and expensive feeling and the colour is warm and vibrant.
The only issue is the price…£45! I mean, you can get 10% off if you're a student but that's still a lot of money. *Prays it goes into the sale*

Makeup
NARS Sheer Glow…a beauty bloggers favourite, a cult classic and a makeup product I need in my collection. I tried a tester of this foundation in Mont Blanc and totally adored it, now I would very much like the full sized bottle.

Accessory
Since I lost weight all my rings, apart from my beloved Pandora ring, are too big for me…so I need some more. These silver ones from ASOS are quite unusual and I love the look of them.

Skincare
I've heard a fair few people rave about the PIXI Glow Tonic - bloggers, skincare experts, random people on twitter, and after hearing it's promises I've decided it sounds like a product for me. It's an exfoliating and brightening toner that removes dead skin cells and leaves the skin looking and feeling healthier.

Fragrance
I've mentioned before that I'm very fussy with scents, I don't like anything too sweet, too floral, too musky or too mature. When in Boots the other day I did the obligatory spraying of all the fragrances in the perfume section of the shop. After getting a whiff of Black Opium by Yves Saint Lauren I proceeded to not only spray myself with it, but douse my scarf in the stuff so it hopefully would linger around for a long time. My goodness this perfume smells good! It's got notes of black coffee, white florals and vanilla….SO good, and perfect for all year round. Also, how amazing is the bottle?!

What are you currently wishing for?

My Fragrance - LOUD By Tommy Hilfiger

I'm not someone who owns loads of fragrances, nor am I someone who would spend £60 on a bottle of perfume, however I love fragrance, smelling nice and trying out different scents.

My favourite, and one that's been my perfume for about 2 years, is Loud by Tommy Hilfiger.

I'm useless when it comes to describing scents, so sorry in advance, but I think this perfume is quite a warm scent and it definitely has floral notes in it. When you first spray it I think it smells quite sweet, but then it smells warm, and the spicy floral scent kicks in. There's hints of rose in there, lychee and spices. It's not at all overpowering, nor is it sickly which I often find perfumes to be.

Something I adore about this fragrance is how long it lasts! I find so many perfumes fade within a couple of hours, or sometimes less, but this is different. I sprayed this onto a scarf and I could still smell it months later, which is amazing, I hate having to carry around a perfume bottle!

The Loud perfume was designed to be 'Rock and Roll' and actually I do agree that it is. You'll have to go and smell it to see what I mean!

I also love the bottle, it's simple but really cute. Oh, and the best part is it's inexpensive at £10 from Escentual!
Overal this is a definite winner for me!
