Well my fellow perfume lovers, since 2024 is almost over (can you believe how fast it's gone by?! 😱) I thought I'd a review (badly 😅) some of my 2024 purchases that I've not mentioned. IMO far too many!

Quick shout of to Delina Exclusif for making me fall in love ❤ and yet break my heart at the same time for the €280 price! 💔

Burberry Godess: Cozy and subtle and great for every day use. My husband really likes this on me but I don't seem to reach for it like my Burberry Hers. Lasts about 4 hours maybe on me.

Gucci Flora Gorgeous Gardenia: Beautiful feminine floral. Unfortunately this is all I can say about it positively. The longevity is terrible and for the price point I can safely say I won't repurchase.

Marc Jacobs Daisy Wild: A recent purchase. I love it. It's a basic green fruity scent that will be thoroughly enjoyed in the spring and summer months. Probably lasts about 3 hours on me.

Versace Crystal Noir EDT: So many people were raving about this on Reddit. Apparently it was breeding material 😆 and yep it's great and definitely my husbands favourite scent on me. I reach for this on nights out with the girls.

SDJ 59: Was this the one that supposedly attracted spiders?! 🕷 😄 Anyway I love the smell of it and think it's decent in both warmer and colder climates. Longevity like most SDJ don't last long unfortunately 😔 but still a fun scent.

Burberry Her EDP: Beautiful but I think I prefer the Elixir. I'm a true gourmand girl. Also love the pear note 🍐 in a EDT tester I had. Lasts about 4 hours on me.

Cerutti 1881 EDT: Saw this in a chemist recently and had to repurchase instantly. This scent is like no other and takes me back to my youth. Very affordable. Will always repurchase for the sheer nostalgia! 😊

D&G L'impertrice: A fruity cocktail with a strong kiwi [] note. It's okay, that's about it. Don't think I would repurchase.

Prada Paradoxe Intense: Tested all three of the Paradox ranges in the chemist after recently catching whiff of it on my cousin at a wedding at 2AM. Intense was my favourite. A real crowd pleaser IMO. Would definitely repurchase.

ZARA Shades of Nostalgia: purchased this last weekend but loving it so far. Strong kiwi note in it.

ZARA Nude Bouquet 💐: A repurchase. Absolutely gorgeous. Supposedly a Miss DIOR Blooming Bouquet dupe. ZARA really are the best value for money on the market.

Elie Saab Le Parfum in White: Omg 😲 this is divine 😍 Longevity and silage is amazing. I would repurchase this a million times over. Would have worn this if I didn't wear Mon Guerlain on my wedding day.

Would love if you all could review your 2024 scents!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS🎄 EVERYONE. HOPE YOU ALL GET SPOILT ROTTEN IN PERFUME HEAVEN! 😍

Consider me influenced I’ve ordered samples of a couple of these based on your reviews! Thank you 😊
 
Tried the LBTY by Liberty fragrances recently and was unimpressed. Unremarkable and extremely overpriced. The heavier ones all dry down to a very similar sweetish oud-type of scent and the lighter ones all to a sharp floralish-musk. The bottles are pretty, but the fragrances are pretty meh. Might be more forgiving if the prices were considerably lower.

I have not! Is it nice? I only have Le Parfum which I loved and also Le Parfum In White which is even nicer IMO. I am eager to try anything by Elie Saab. Quality perfume at a fair price I think 😍

So far Elie Saab and Versace Crystal Noir! Your descriptions were great so might try a couple of other samples from your list as well 😊

It's gorgeous, the Lumiere is lovely as well. The rose edition is a nicer version of Miss Dior Rose and Roses!

Totally agree. I hate it when brands think “we’re high end, we want to be premium, luxury, exclusive” and think the only way that can be achieved is by charging £225 for a 100ml bottle of fragrance.

The 8ml travel sizes are £45 😅 Have a laugh, Liberty.

My favourite of the ones I’ve tried is Wild Rosinda. I thought Liberty Maze was a very basic neroli scent and Tudor is similar to Diptique’s Tam Dao only not as nice.
 
I smelt the most amazing perfume on a friend today, she’s just come back from New York and typically this perfume is only available to buy in America 🙄😫 it was called Lover by The Maker

I watched a TikTok video for a way around this the other day . There is a company who are in the states where you can get purchases shipped to a US shipping address and then they ship to the UK.

I have to say i have not tried this out so can’t comment on the service but I am considering trialling it out as there are some perfumes I’m forever seeing on instagram who don’t ship to the UK and really want to try,

Perfumes are by a company called MixBar ( and can be bought at Target
