My Favourite Perfumes

I don't know about you, but during this quarantine, I find myself de-cluttering like crazy! Not only is it nice to finally have the time to de-clutter my life but I also find myself a lot less stressed when I am living a slightly more minimalist lifestyle!

With that being said, I took some time and decided to go through my perfume collection and cut down what I really don't wear and either re-home it or toss it. These are the ones that made the cut and that I have decided to keep! There is a common theme going on, I love the woodsy scents and also the floral scents! all the perfumes fall into either one of those categories!

I have used the website Fragrantica to obtain all the scent notes of each perfume. I will have the specific perfume I am talking about, and their link to it so you can follow along for each! Lets get started!

My Perfumes

Lancome La Vie est Belle

The first perfume in my collection is La Vie est Belle by Lancome. This is considered to be my first "high end" perfume as I saved up for months to purchase it! According to the website this perfume is sweet and woodsy so I wear this one during the fall and winter time or all year long on date nights.
