Hi all,
Have you ever wondered,
- "What scent is right for me?"
- "How come I can't smell my perfume on myself?"
- "Do I smell like my granny?"
To be completely honest, most of us would have had this thought once in our lifetime, weather your a 'spring chicken' or an 'old duck'. But don't be afraid...I've come to the rescue!
Displayed in the picture above is my personal perfume collection. May not seem like a lot, but these few are the scents which I have the most respect for, and those that I wear the most.
So I've decided to show you all my top 10 (of the above perfumes)....so here we go!
