Perfume Shop Press Day

So last Thursday I headed down to the Perfume Shop Press day to view their amazing Christmas range and meet the team.

I can’t believe how much the perfume shop has actually evolved!! It has become a household brand and no longer considered as that ‘Discount Retailer’. I always saw it as the ‘Budget perfume shop’ but those days are long gone! I mean don’t get me wrong, their prices are still very competitive , however I don’t ever recall finding ‘Chanel’ or ‘Gucci’ being sold at the ‘Old Perfume Shop’ should I say. It’s interesting how you notice the evolution of brands over time.

I went through the range and tested out the scents of some of the brands they carry. It was simply perfume Heaven :) I also fell in love with Theirry Mugler once again (I mean can you blame me?) It’s just one of those scents that you always come back to, such a classic!


I also got to try out the new DKNY ‘Apple’ branded 'Delicious' perfumes. The Mango one really smells like Mango. The smells are really sweet and I think are great for the Spring/Summer season.


I also made some notes on what are some of their must buy’s this season and have listed it below, especially seen as people starting tweeting me and messaging me on what fragrance they should opt for as soon as I mentioned I was at the Perfume Shop press day on Twitter! That’s the power of 1 tweet!!!! (makes unbelievable face).

Reb’l Fleur by Rihanna EDP 50ml TPS Price £29.50
Rihanna’s debut scent is every bit as powerful and dramatic as the rebellious
R&B diva herself. A sizzling cocktail of scent, Reb’l Fleur by Rihanna embodies
the Barbadian beauty in every way. Top notes of rich, red berries, ripe peaches
and purple plums burst into a heart of tropical Hawaiian hibiscus flowers and
smooth coconut water that in turn spill over onto a dreamy base of musk and
vanilla. The captivating scent is encased in an ultimately glamorous and unique
bottle inspired by a stilleto heel, the shoe of choice for the lady herself and is
available online and in store at The Perfume Shop from 27th July.

Britney Spears Cosmic Radiance EDT 50ml RRP £29.00

Not just a one trick pony, our favourite princess of pop Britney Spears has a
scent for every occasion. Her latest creation, Cosmic Radiance, available from
25th August, joins her stunning collection including Fantasy, Midnight Fantasy,
Believe and Radiance to make sure that there is a perfume to suit every girl.
Inspired by the idea of luminous sensuality, Cosmic Radiance reflects the
energy and beauty of women everywhere. Notes of amber, sandalwood and
liquid vanilla combine to create a scent cocktail that is a must-have for bold,
confident and empowered women everywhere!

House of Chanel

From legends like Marilyn Monroe to modern day heroines like Keira Knightly,
The House of Chanel always exudes radiance and beauty. Chanel No.5 (EDP
50ml TPS price £59.99) was introduced in 1921 and is still a favourite today
with tonka bean, patchouli and vetiver notes. For the younger Chanel fan,
Coco Mademoiselle (EDP 50ml TPS price £59.99) perfectly combines oriental
fresh notes with a floral jasmine-rose accord. Some scents are timeless -
Allure Homme Sport (EDT 50ml TPS price £42.50) combines contemporary
class with the iconic brand heritage. With notes of lavender and grapefruit this
fragrance is perfect for a guy that is both active and stylish.

Valentino, Valentina For Her EDP 50ml RRP £55.00
Fresh from the Valentino collection and the latest of the autumnal fragrances
from this iconic fashion house, Valentina Valentino is available at The Perfume
Shop nationwide from 3rd October and is the perfect scent for those
fashionistas who like to be in the know and want to smell divine. The flirty,
feisty and fun fragrance is an oriental floral scent with top notes of fresh
bergamot and alba truffle. Blends of fruity orange flower and jasmine
highlight the heart notes, while the base contains cedarwood and warm notes
of vanilla. The glamorous signature scent is a fresh sparkle of seduction and an
ideal choice for those women who empower femininity
