No matter how limited the space in my luggage may be, I never ever leave my favourite perfume out of it.
They are to be found in odd perfume bottles, often bulky ones, occupying much space in the luggage in addition to being fragile. Despite all these, I never want to leave my favourite perfume out of my bags. You may ask me to leave anything but this. I have my reasons. Firstly, I want the aroma I wear every season to follow me in the beautiful moments of my travels and accompany my memories. I want to adorn the bathroom of my exquisite hotel with my favourite perfume and feel even better upon my arrival. Find below my top list of perfumes, this winter:
My Burberry Black by Burberry
Dark and sweet. Its lovely Burberry – style packaging and its notes of amber and patchouli made me love this perfume that came out in 2016, from a fashion house I have always adored.
Basil & Neroli Cologne by Jo Malone

I am wearing it, the very moment I write this post. Every time I do so, I take a lot of compliments. Basil & Neroli is a fresh, sophisticated, sensual floral with green facets, fragrance that came out in September 2016. Note that it can be used alone or combined with others from Jo Malone (The recommended combinations are with Wood Sage & Sea Salt, Red Roses and Blackberry & Bay).
Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
This is a permanent in my beauty drawer. As everything with the signature of Chanel, Coco Mademoiselle is a must for every fashionista. Its composition is focused on two characteristic ingredients of Chanel, jasmine and May rose, enriched with a touch of Florentine iris and top notes of Sicilian orange
Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf
It’s a classic, too! Moi, I will be forever in love with this genius bottle designed by legendary Fabien Baron and also with the fragrance that smells like an explosive bouquet of fresh and sweet flowers.
La Femme Prada

I have a thing with frangipani notes. In this new Prada scent, they are combined with Ylang-Ylang, another favourite ingredient of mine, and with spices, beeswax and tuberose. The result is an exciting olfactory journey!
Chloe Eau de Parfum

This is my ideal option for the days I want a chic floral-with powdery-notes-scent to complete an elegant outfit, made of silk shirt and a high waisted pants. I also love to look at this elegant bottle, made to live in the most feminine boudoirs!

Modern Muse Nuit by Estée Lauder
Imagine you are ready to go out, dressed in a sexy-chic tuxedo suit… Modern Muse Nuit is the final touch you are looking for. It is a deeper and darker side of the original, combining sophisticated floral tones with creamy woods. This is surely a perfume, that can easily make heads turn, whenever you add a few drops of it on you.
