Scents from Singapore! *

I love perfume shopping in Scent-sational Singapore! The last time I went to Singapore, I came home with a whole bunch of miniature perfumes for my perfume gallery, 4 different sets to be exact AND a big bottle of CK Eternity Summer for my spritzing pleasure!

That was one of the best perfume shopping sprees ever so you can imagine how pleased I was with my latest perfume purchases from our recent trip to Singapore. Once again, I got most of my minis from Changi Airport, which I daresay offers some of the best duty-free deals around!

Oh and I finally got a new bottle of scent for my Darling too. B is a stickler for Hugo Boss, which smells great on him. Let's see the latest addition to my perfume gallery shall we?

Perfume Purchases

JPG definitely boasts one of the best bottle designs in the industry don't you agree?

My first batch of JPG minis

And here is my latest JPG buy, also from sunny Singapore! How to resist right?

I also got a set of DKNY apples for my collection, which means I now own 6 beautiful bottles in my Perfume Gallery!

Last but definitely not least, I purchased a perfume from my favourite songstress Diva Mariah Carey, which I have to say is as scent-sational as her songs, I love it! This scent is not a mini so it's not a part of my collection and is meant for daily wear by yours truly. Do you see any of your special scents here?

My Perfumes Arrived, Sweet! **

My friend Tasha came back from LA with plenty of goodies for me! I was really counting on her to get me the tote I wanted on my Bath & Body Works scent-sational list but unfortunately the bag is only available with an online purchase. Nonetheless, I am thrilled with the stuff she managed to bring home for me and I know it was not easy to shop for my items so I really have to thank Tasha and Zany too for helping a perfume lover in need!

I now have three new perfumes to add to my every day use. I only collect miniatures so these regular-size new ones are nicely placed on top of my dresser.

Bath & Body Works® Signature Collection

Butterfly Flower
Inspired by the natural elegance and playful femininity of a butterfly garden in full bloom, master perfumers have blended French mimosa petals, Asian syringa flower, luscious tangerine and tenufolia orchid to create this vibrant fragrance.

Japanese Cherry Blossom
To create this seductive and mysterious floral scent inspired by the exotic gardens of Japan, master perfumers have blended Asian pear, mimosa petals, Kyoto rose and Himalayan cedar wood.

Moonlight Path®
To capture the essence of moonlit strolls in lush gardens, master perfumers have woven notes of French lavender, lily of the valley, oak moss and musk in this deeply romantic fine fragrance.

They all sound heavenly right? Can you guess which of the three is my favourite? I love them all but one simply stands out from the rest and I am saving that bottle for special moments!

Have you seen the latest Valentine's Day promotion @ Bath & Body Works? I want, I want!

Perfume Shopping in Japan! **

I'm back and what a wonderful time I had in Japan! What was memorable for me this time around while shopping for my perfume gallery here was that I remembered to bring along MPG on this trip! If previously Mariuca went to New York, this time it's MPG's turn to head over to the Land of the Rising Sun!

I bought only 10 perfumes this vacation and though I wanted to buy more, most of the selections are already in my collection. I can't tell right now just how many perfume bottles this brings my current total to but I am loving the pic here! Don't they look splendid? I took this picture the very same night I bought all my perfumes, obviously excited with my new buy! Indeed, Tokyo was another scent-sational vacation for Mariuca and Mariuca's Perfume Gallery YAY!

Perfume Shopping Spree!

B thinks I went a tad overboard with my latest perfume shopping spree in Sensational Singapore, just because I ended up buying 4 mini sets instead of the initial 3, plus a bottle of Eternity Summer, which by the way had a fabulous deal thrown in, so how could I resist? Besides, it has been a while since my last perfume buy on eBay, so I figured why not! :)

Out of the 4 sets, this Jean Paul Gaultier Summer limited edition is my absolute favourite! Even B had to admit it was a good buy. Every year JPG comes out with a new collectible summer fragrance, and each year features a different design. Love the beautifully designed bottles with their unique prints!

CK One was a favourite during my uni days so naturally I have to include this in My Gallery. Another limited edition, this set features CK One and CK One Summer in two bottle shades. This was actually a last minute buy, so it was worth the rush!

If you don't already know, I'm a big CK fan, so I had fun buying this one. This travel set includes Eternity Moment, Eternity, Euphoria and Obsession Night, which would complete the CK collection in My Gallery.

Finally, I had to buy this Givenchy set simply because it includes Very Irresistible Givenchy, which is one of my current scents. The rest of the collection includes Amarige, Absolutely Givenchy, Organza and Amarige Mariage.

Ultimate Luxury

I can’t believe it took me this long to discover the wonder that is Bvlgari Rose Essentielle! For weeks now, I’ve been meaning to reward myself with a new perfume and after many visits to many different perfume counters, I stumbled upon Bvlgari’s Rose Essentielle. It was love at first scent - I was immediately mesmerized by its intoxicating scent and I knew I had to have it. It's now one of my personal favourites!

Rose Essentielle pays tribute to the world’s most romantic flower, the Rose, which symbolizes love, elegance and beauty. The most sophisticated fragrance in the Bvlgari Pour Femme collection, Rose Essentielle breaks away from the usual green tea notes of Bvlgari perfumes by combining Prelude rose, Brazilian rosewood and top notes of jasmine, mimosa and orange blossom to give you the ultimate floral expression of total luxury and elegance!

The best part of this purchase was the 2 Bvlgari minis that came with the set, which I'm certain will brighten up my gallery even more!
