They're all DIVINE.
So, I would describe myself as a bit of a perfume nerd.
Everyone has their thing, and one of mine is perfumes.
I am always on the look out for new and gorgeous scents, that suit various different places and times.
Do you have a perfume that you only really wear on mad nights out?
Or perhaps a specific smell you prefer to wear on holiday? Or at certain times of the year?
Well, I probably have about 60, and I use them depending on my mood, the weather, or where I am.
So, I have decided that I will start sharing my perfume discoveries with you gals on a monthly basis.
It'd be a shame to keep them to myself.
So, here are my five favourite perfumes for the month of August.
Atelier Cologne Orange Sanguine, €110.
I'm actually wearing this bad boy as I write this article, and I'm IN LOVE. Orange Sanguine is like sunshine in a bottle. It has the smell of summer, sun, sea and fresh, delicious oranges. Every time I use it, it puts a smile on my face.
Bottega Veneta Illusione, €63.
This divine woody floral scent was crafted by perfumers Annick Menardo and Amandine Clerc-Marie. It has intense top notes of bergamot and blackcurrant that create an aromatic spark. Feminine orange blossom and vegetal green fig are at the floral heart of the scent, and conjure a warm breeze. Heavenly.
ESCENTRIC MOLECULES Molecule, €82.
This is hard one to describe, as it wouldn't be your typical fragrance. Molecule 01 consists of one single ingredient, Iso E Super. You'll notice a gorge, subtle velvety-woody note which will vanish, then re-surface after some time, but more than this, you will notice the impact it has on other people.
Jo Malone London Poppy & Barley, €54.
This is the gorgeous new scent from one of my favourite perfume brands. It's a lively floral scent, enhanced by rose and violet and topped with juicy blackcurrants. Simply gorgeous!
For the lads...
Tom Ford Ombre Leather, €99.
This warm, heave scent is honestly so delicious, you'll probably end up stealing it from the man that owns it. It contains a top note of cardamom, with base notes of amber, patchouli and moss. He'll love it!
