This post is actually going to be an edit of a post that I did back in June 2013. It will just be simple what fragrances I loved in 2013. These fragrances include Burberry Body, Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy, Next Adore, Rihanna Reb'L Fleur and Marc Jacobs Daisy. I will be saying a bit more about each below and I haven't ranked these simply due to not being able to pick a favourite (the order is just random). I hope you enjoy this post.
This is Rihanna's first perfume and I love it! It is describe as: Daring, sexy and truly memorable. It is a strong scent but beautiful with ripe fruits and a floral scent including a mix of vanilla, patchouli and amber. I rate this a 4.8/5 for scent and it lasts a long while on the skin. The packaging is simple with black added to it.
I'm so glad she has continued with similar bottles for her following perfumes apart from her newest Rogue which reminded me of twisters. When I bought this I got it from B&M for £13.99 I think, but it is available in stores such as Superdrug and online. Would rate it 4/5
Burberry Body is another of my go to perfumes and I've had this for awhile. I got this after falling in love with the sample sizzle bottle that I was scent which is the cutest thing ever and perfect for putting in a bag or travelling (sadly I have no pictures). I'm not to sure now but my sisters were able to pick up quite a few of these sample bottles in airports so if you are interested and in an airport why not have a check out.
This perfume has been described as: A feminine and effortlessly sensual fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients. The scent is gorgeous and is described as having top notes of fresh green absinthe, peach and freesia. It also has natural rose and iris blends a long with creamy vanilla and amber. The best way I can describe it is a mature scent rather than a girly one. I love the packaging simple and nice glass bottle.

Sadly, I do not know of the price as I was given this as a gift, however you can purchase it online or from the perfume shop if in the UK. I think this is definitely the most priciest of my top five fragrances. Would rate it 4.5/5
The next in my five is Marc Jacobs Daisy again I have had this for a year and I'm unaware of the price due to the fact it was a gift. Before receiving this I remember wishing for this for ages due to the fact of its beautiful bottle. I definitely rate this packaging 5/5 as its adorable, but definitely not compatible with carrying it about in your bag as it's quite large. The scent of this is described as floral with the smells of violet and strawberries. Definitely a sweet perfume to have, as well as this I also have the solid perfume which again I adore! Would rate it 4.8/5, definitely worth getting to your collection.
This perfume is the newest to my collection as I received it from my sister as a birthday present in May! I was super super excited when I received this as I had been waiting for this for two years when I went to Meadowhall with my friend in 2011 and I sprayed this. This is a beautiful floral scent which lasts all day (well I find it does) it has scents including: honeysuckle, jasmine, gardenia, berries, mandarin, amber, caramel, vanilla, sandalwood and praline. This is definitely the worth waiting for and is secretly my top fragrance out of this collection. Again like the Marc Jacobs Daisy, I think the packaging is adorable and is worthy of a 5/5. Sadly, as this is a gift I do not know its price, but I'm sure you will be able to find out on the internet.
Lastly, the cheapest of the perfumes is Next Adore, which is priced at £10 for 100 ml. I think this perfume is perfect for anyone who is on a budget, e.g. going to university. It is very strong floral scent and I find it lasts all day. I think this is my favourite perfume from Next and the other two I have include Runway and Just Pink. I would definitely recommend these as good gifts for friends as presents. Compared to the packaging of the others again its simple and I give it a 3.8/5. This perfume can be found in stores or on their website and on their website they describe this fragrance as: a glamorous and sophisticated fragrance with stunning florals and golden accords. Would rate it 3.8 as it's a mature scent.
So these are my top 5 scents of 2013. I'm looking forward to what scents this year brings me already Naughty Alice which I love and i'm hoping to pick up some perfume from Zara. I would love to hear from you guys about your favourite scents either tweet me or in the comments below.
