Perfumes: the Staples

I love perfumes. I use it sparingly, only at certain moods and occasions. Well, I like soft, powdery, flowery perfume. However, my nose usually search for certain fragrance which reminds me of my childhood memories, or certain people in my life. I always associate my late grandmother with L'Air du Temps and my late mother with Eau de Val from L'Occitane. Unfortunately, Eau de Val (Magnolia)  is discontinued. And me and my childhood  memories still searching for that fragrance. 

I like to try out new perfume, but I my staples are pretty consistent. They are Diorissimo, Chanel Beige, and I have two newcomers which are quite refreshing. Acca Kappa Glicine and Crabtree and Evelyn's Wisteria. Too bad, my Diorissimo bottle is left at my dad's house.. so.. I just have 3 of them to be shown here.  

Chanel Rouge

Chanel Rouge. 

There is something about Chanel lipstick that I adore. The sleek packaging (Chanel puts  a spring mechanism here). The sweet fragrance, the balmy yet pigmented red-hue.. Aahh.. Here she is, in the embrace of Mr Skeleton. Rouge Allure in Enjouee is not something I purchase. I am too thrift to do that.. at least for now.  It was given to me from my auntie. 

This product has been launched since 2012, but I barely know this product since 2014 when my auntie wear it. It's such a nice matte-velvety lipstick, I mean, it's sort of matte, but it does not feel dry to my lips. However, I still can see the dark pigmentation around my mouth when I wear this, so.. I should wear a lip pencil if I want a full cover lipstick on. However, it's still a very good color: a coral lipstick that makes me happy.
