Top 5 Perfumes

One essay left which I have until tomorrow at 12 to finish, hopefully I'll hand everything in later today though & then my hiatus will be lifted! Although I haven't done too badly at keeping up!
Just thought while I'm eating my breakfast & before I put my uni head on for the day I would indulge in a quick post - Top 5 Perfumes. I've recently found myself drifting to the fragrance part of stores which is pretty new for me as I've kept to the same perfumes for most of my life - Anna Sui Dolly Girl / Thierry Mugler Angel. But I feel I've outgrown these now & there are better things out there so here's my top 5 of perfumes I've been wearing recently & will be wearing this summer (not in any order).

1. YSL Baby Doll
I saw this at YSL about a year ago, & while I was waiting to be served I smelled it for the first time. I then found it in an outlet shop of Perfume Point at £15 & with my extra 10% off for working in the outlet managed to pick it up for £13.50! Such a bargain as I absolutely love this scent. It's one you can wear day or night & is a bit stronger than some of the others in this list (people can smell it as you walk by, although it's not overpowering). Overall I'd say it smelt of sweet flowers. The bottle is such a cute shape as it's pointed at the bottom which makes it lean like a spinning top. Looks gorgeous on display. My only gripe is my boyfriend doesn't like it, but I'm working on him!
Notes: Almond Tree Blossom, Amaryllis, Amber, Mimosa, White Peony.

2. Paul Smith Floral
My most recent addition! I got this again at the Perfume Point, it currently has £7 off the price & with my 10% off was around £13.00 for 30ml. The bottle is nice looking & it comes in a cute tin although the size of the tin is really disproportionate to the bottle & you end up with this huge tin & tiny bottle! Really deceiving! As the name suggests it smells floral, I'd class it as a light everyday scent & it's the one I am actually wearing every day at the moment.
Notes: Top notes of orange, grapefruit, ginger, and water lily. Then blending into white magnolia, orchid, and osmanthus blossom, finishing off with woods, musk and tonka beans.
3. Chloe
First off, let me point out that this perfume is expensive. Unless you can find it discounted or duty free then expect to pay around £40 for the smallest size. But the smell is to die for. This is the one perfume in my top 5 that I don't actually own, which is completely down to the price. It's probably my favourite perfume of all time as well! Every time I go shopping I always make sure to find a tester of this somewhere & spray it on (which may sound a bit sad but remember I am a student! - although only until tomorrow! yay!). The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, silver plated with a ribbon tied in a bow round the top. The scent is light, fresh and clean and perfect for every day.
Notes: Fresh, Green airy notes subtly grow richer and more sensualrevealing the velvety interior of the rose. The base notes of warm amber, honey and elegant cedarwood create a smooth and comforting finish.
4. Vera Wang Princess
Now I know this perfume is worn by every teenager & their best friend, but I still love it. I first wore it when my Dad brought it back for me from Duty Free when I was about 17. It reminded me of Angel but has an extra dimension, you'll know what I mean if you smell it. Plus the bottle is 10 times prettier & the lid has a real ring that you can actually wear (although you'd be pretty lucky to actually get it to fit your finger as it's not the average size!). It's just a fun, sweet smell, one I probably wear more for going out than every day. Most of the scents I like at the moment are floral, as it's summer & I'm tending to lean more towards smells that remind me of outside & nature. But every girl needs one or two that are sweet & yummy & this is it. The bottle is gorgeous - purple diamond cut glass with curly writing & a crown lid encrusted with purple gems. They also recently brought out Rock Princess which is along the same lines but smells a bit 'darker' & has a black bottle & lid. Not sure of the prices of these but think they're around about £35 - £40 for 50ml, so mid-range.
Notes: Sparkling in a breeze of lady apple and waterlily... Sweeping into ripe pink guava and Tahitian tiare flower... Tempted to taste with dark chocolate and pink frosting, forbidden woods and chiffon vanilla.
5. Avon Tahitian HolidayThis is a perfume with a purpose - it's the one to throw in your suitcase & take on holiday with you. The reason for that is two-fold. Firstly, it's dirt cheap - I think I got it for £5 (full price it's £15 but Avon always have offers & if you wait you'll get what you want for half the price). This means it's no big drama if it gets lost, stolen, or broken. Secondly, it smells like what I imagine Hawaii to smell like - coconuts, pineapples & tahitian flowers. I don't wear this in the winter (coconuts are slightly out of place), & I don't wear it at home, but it's one I got last year & have just bought again this year as a holiday perfume & it does it's job perfectly :). There are also matching products in the range, this year I picked up a matching sun-protecting hair mist.

What are your top 5 perfumes & have you tried any of these?
