Top 10 Favourite Perfumes of All Time
I love wearing perfume, in fact, it goes beyond that as I feel it represents how I feel that day; almost creating an identity. If I forget to spray my perfume, I feel naked. This reminds me of one of Marilyn Monroe's most famous quotes when asked what she wears to bed "Why, Chanel No.5 of course". I get it though, I really do... I think perfume not only makes you feel empowered, sexy, playful, powerful, but it also evokes so many different memories and emotions.
I am genuinely perfume obsessed and I could honestly open up my own parfumerie with the collection I have at home. It was so difficult to pick my top 10 however, below is a list of my favourites and reasons why:
