Wednesday Wants #20 Fragrance Frenzy!

Afternoon :)
This week I am lusting after alottt of perfumes! At work the other day, I was asked to cover the fragrance counter for a bit, and I spent that time testing out every single perfume I could, and making a mental fragrance wishlist. 
Here are my favourites....
Excuse the terriblee pic!
First up, Taylor Swift's new (and first, as far as I know) perfume, Wonderstruck. This has top notes of Strawberry, vanilla and also includes freesia, amber and blackcurrant. On me, this fragrance reminds me alot of Britney Spears Fantasy and Midnight Fantasy, but no where near as sweet. This is very easy to wear, and I can't imagine anyone disliking it, no matter what your scent preferences.
£28.50 for 50ml at theperfumeshop.com


Insolence by Guerlain is an unusual fragrance. To my untrained nose, this smells just like Parma Violets, which is no bad thing! I've recently become obsessed with finding a new fragrance that is unique, and that wouldn't be worn by tonnes of other women wherever I go. I think this may be it, and it's going right to the top of my birthday list! It's quite a powdery number, as I've said, this has strong violet notes, but also berries, tonka bean, rose and sandalwood.
This is pricier, at £39.99 for 30ml EDP from theperfumeshop.com

Lastly, the new perfume from Lancome. I already love Midnight Tresor Rose, but I think this newer one has overtaken it in my favourites! As far as I know this isn't actually out yet, but I've had a few small samples of it, and I have never in my life had so many compliments on how I smell!  This has notes of praline, jasmine, vanilla, tonka bean and pear. To me, this is similar to Prada's Candy, but not as sweet. On me, I feel this is quite musky. 

So, there we have my fragrance list! There are more that I want (Illamasqua Freak, Marc Jacobs Daisy etc..), but these are my pick of the bunch!
Anyone lusting after some perfumes? Or own any of these? :)
Thanks for reading!
