Scent-cerely

Did you catch it? Lol! Yep, you guessed it. This post is dedicated to my current favorite scents! If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel, then you already know what type of time I’m on. Watch the fragrance playlist here.

Over the last 5 years maybe, I have been on a perfume kick. Over the years, I have taken a lot of pride in being a woman and doing all things lady-like or girly. I went through a purse binge, shoes are still a thing, blazers, jeans, lipsticks and eye shadows, false nails and pretty much anything you can think of. I will buy it and buy a lot of it. On clearance of course, but purchases are made nonetheless.

I, like many other ladies have always worn some smell good but it was usually what was on sale at B&BW or a department store. Mainly, body sprays from VS or B&BW and celebrity fragrances like Brittany Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, etc. But over the last 5 years or so, I’ve put a little more funds behind the fragrances I buy or get gifted to me.

My first intro to higher end fragrances was Alexander McQueen. I knew nothing about notes, silage, the olfactory journey and body chemistry when it came to perfume so at first sniff, it caught me off guard. Some time later, it grew on me and I actually like it. The bottle is half full. I’m still learning about the notes that I like and maceration. I love unisex scents but a few notes I enjoy are white florals, oud, amber, woody, aromatic, saffron, jasmine and musky.

Now, let’s get into my favs(#1 being my favorite overall), their price(high and low end), links to get them on Amazon and where/how I like to wear them. Hopefully you can grab them for your special someone for Christmas!
