This year I’m determined to get completely organised…. or as organised as it is possible for me to be anyway! Part of this involves trying out new beauty brands, clearing out old products and generally making a more concious effort to stay on top of everything and broaden my beauty and fashion horizons.
With this in mind, I wanted to try 3 new fragrances that I haven’t got round to using before, but had always wanted to so that I could start my January by feeling refreshed and revived. Here are my top fragrance picks to kick off 2014 in style:
In the words of Viktor & Rolf themselves: Flowerbomb provides an opportunity to ‘escape reality and heal the world… It’s about transforming negative into positive.’ It is a play on opposites; a rich bouquet of contrasting sensations so synonymous with Viktor & Rolf’s work. For them, fashion and now Flowerbomb is ‘an antidote to today’s reality, an expression of our dreams’.
I’m not usually a fan of perfumes that have an air of sweetness about them, but after smelling samples of this perfume in the pages of many a glossy mag lately, I was absolutely hooked and needed a full sized bottle of my very own! Viktor & Rolf ‘flowerbomb’ is the perfect fragrance to use as we move forward into some (hopefully) warmer weather and it has a chic and stylish, yet playful feel. It’s definitely going to be one of my everyday scents this year.

It’s no secret that I love Michael Kors. I just had to try one of his fragrances and opted for ‘Sexy’ Amber first. I chose this one to try out first from the fragrance collection as I love musky, sensual fragrances so this one seemed perfect! Sexy Amber puts the spotlight on sumptuous amber wrapped in sandalwood and musk, against a bright backdrop of dazzling orange, mandarin and white florals. Inspiration was pulled from the bold colours that often highlight a Michael Kors fashion collection.
This fragrance did not disappoint. I can’t wait to try the rest of the series. Let me know which one you think I should pick next if you’ve tried them already.

Embody a world of pure Hollywood magic with More by Demi Eau de Parfum. Bewitching Tahitian ylang-ylang, elegant jasmine sambac and creamy sandalwood entwine in a seductive embrace capturing the incomparable glamour and sophistication of Demi Moore.
This is a real hidden gem of a fragrance that I’ve fallen in love with! It is warm, comforting, sensual and perfect for evening wear on cold, crisp days.
