Perfume Rotation Results-March

This is a long due post as April is almost over. But I've been so busy in April I hardly had enough time to rest. This is the perfume usage result for March and you can see I cheated. For March I was supposed to stick to L'eau D'Issey Florale by Issey Miyake, Daisy Eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs and Brits by Burberry.

From the picture you can tell I had two empty sample vials and for the Burberry perfume I didn't use much. For the first week I was happy with the rotation as I enjoyed using both the Issey Miyake and Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume. Once I finished up both samples I started using the Burberry perfume and I don't like it. I used to like this perfume but now I find it too strong for me to use on a regular basis. I disliked it so much I decided to put it down after trying it on for two days so I chose two other perfume samples to finish up. 

I ended up using Anna Sui Secret Wish Magic Romance and Paco Rabanne. I love the Anna Sui secret wish magic romance since I have the full size bottle at home but for the Paco Rabanne. I can't recall how it smells. 

Do you have a perfume rotation system?

Perfume collection

I would say my perfume collection has grown significantly throughout the years, as I got older, scents I like changed quite a bit. There are perfumes I used to love that I don't love anymore. Those all turn into room sprays or soon to be room sprays. I can stand the smell in my room but not on me!

I used to buy a lot of perfume. I buy them whenever I see them go on sale. Even thought I don't love the scent that much I get them  because they were on sale. I don't want to miss out on any deals. I also get them because of their packaging. I'm a sucker when it comes to packaging. There were times I even kept the empty perfume bottles because of their packaging. Those days have long passed. I stopped collecting bottles and I try my best to buy perfume I truly love. No more impulse purchase on perfume. So this year I only bought one bottle. There are several bottles on my wishlist but they can wait as long as they are not limited edition  perfume.

First comes my Anna Sui Collection. I love Anna Sui perfume. I bought every single one of her perfumes until rock me where I had to stop buying as my collection was growing too big. Anna Sui original perfume and Sui Love aren't featured in the pictures as I don't have them anymore. Anna Sui original is the first ever full size perfume I finished using.
Left to right: Sui Dreams, Night of Fancy, Flight of Fancy, Rock Me, Love your Dream.
Apart from Sui Dreams, they are all brand new or I've only used them once or twice.

Anna Sui dolly girl collection. Apart from the pink dolly girl, they were all yearly limited editions. 

Left to right: Sui Dreams minature, secret wish and magic romance. 
Sui Dreams is just for collection purpose as I hated the scent. I'm still missing the Secret Wish Fairy Dance in the secret wish perfume collection. Secret Wish has always been one of my favourite perfume and I still keep it in the daily usage box. 

Marc Jacobs collection. 
Marc Jacobs rain, a very refreshing light scent that now I use as a roomspray. I might try to use it for layering with my other perfume.
Daisy: um. brand new just opened the box not too long ago.
Marc Jacobs: Impulse purchase, got it cuz it was 50% off.
Dot: I don't like the smell. It just smelled a little too sweet for my taste. Got it from my Topbox subscription. 
Lola: Impulse purchase. It's my first solid perfume. made an awesome accessory piece on my bag.

:Left to Right: Still, Coolwater, Tom kitten cologne, Tommy girl, Gucci Envy & Envy me.
Still and Coolwater are both brand new. I got both when they were on sale. I used to love coolwater but after I got it, I just didn't feel like using it. Tom Kitten and Tommy Girl, I used to love both of them but now I just don't like them anymore. 
Gucci Envy and Envy me. I still like both of them just that I don't have time to use them. 

Left to right: Burberry Brit, Burberry Touch, Jill Stuart, Miss Dior Cherie, J'adore 
These five are one of my go to daily perfume. With Miss Dior Cherie being the favourite in this set. 

Samples and random purchases. I don't really know how these got into my collection. Haven't really tried out any of them. They just sit there! 

These are either random samples or samples that I have full size for. If I remember correctly as I only tested them once, most of them in this picture are perfume that I don't really like. 

And now comes my latest obsession. Jo Malone Cologne! I love Jo Malone so much it deserves it's own post. This is an ever growing collection that grows when I new scent comes out or when there are limited editions.

Are there perfume on my wishlist? 
Definitely! I want to try Annick Goutal Petite Cherie, my friends told me this is the best pear fragrance on the market. 
I also want Jo Malone Blue Agava and Cacao which will be great for pairing with my existing JM collection. 
The last one on my list is Ferragamo Signoria. Ever since I saw the bottle I know I want to bring it home. With the little bow on the bottle and it's pink!

Do you own any of these perfumes? What is on your current wish list?
