Exploring My Perfume Collection
Now you may be thinking.. Melissa, thats far too many perfumes and my reply it’s not that much (There is always room for more) haha! If I told you this time last year that I only had 4 perfumes in my collection would you be shocked? Well, it’s true. Last year I had 4 perfumes in my collection and that was over the course of 7 years. I didn’t really go for perfumes before that because I didn’t wear perfume much, now I can’t leave my house without dosing myself in perfume!
Last year, I started seeing different perfumes on TikTok, and I purchased Lattafa Yara. The perfume addict inside me awakened! From March last year until now, here is where my collection is at. I am shocked myself sometimes haha!!
I never really heard of Arab perfume brands before but over the last few months I have collected a fair few and wow! So many of them are divine!
Which perfume was on your wishlist the longest?
I remember leaving school when I was 15 with my school friends to have coffee, after that, we went to Frasers and looked at perfumes and I fell in love with ‘Guerlain Insolence’. I forgot its name for years but finally got it 19 years later as a gift for myself. Teenage Melissa would be so happy. It’s like walking in a violet garden on a warm summer day.
Which were your original 4 perfumes?
I didn’t buy perfume much before and 2 of these were gifts if I remember correctly. But the original 5 are ‘Lush – Princess Peach’, which is a blend of pineapple and peach. ‘Alien by Mugler’ which is a blend of jasmine and amber, Il be honest sometimes I love this perfume and other times I think ew. I dunno why. Next is ‘Marc Jacobs-Honey’ which is a gorgeous summer scent with its floral and vanilla blends, I bought this because my name means honey bee. Lastly, we have ‘Tom Ford – Orchid Soleil‘ which is a floral scent, Now I really don’t like perfume, it’s awful in my opinion. Maybe it’s just my skin chemistry but damn.

Oh, wow. That is quite an extensive collection of scents. They all sound incredible.
I am impressed with your collection! You have so many fabulous scents. My daughter has a bit of a collection as well. The Billie Eilish perfumes are her fave!
You have such a great collection of perfumes. There are several on here I’ve been wanting to buy but I haven’t yet. I bet it’s hard to pick a favorite.
A good perfume collection is like a time capsule. Each scent carries memories, moods, and a little bit of personality.
Wow, that’s amazing after 19 years finally you got the name and got the perfume. These look like great choices. I will share this with my friend maybe she would like to get a new one from this list. Thank you for sharing.
I’m all for a large collection of perfumes; I buy new ones almost every month because I love a good smelling perfume. You have a great collection; each scent carries its own unique fragrance.
I love perfumes, though I can’t afford luxury perfumes. My favorite scent by Marc Jacobs is Daisy. I’ve not tried Honey yet. 🙂
Daisy is amazing. I need to get it one day
Your collection is so impressive. They all sound so incredible as well
Thank you
I don’t always have time to explore new perfumes, so I love seeing recommendations like these. I’ll have to check them out!
I am glad you enjoyed the post 🙂
I love the Mugler Alien perfume ….. one of my faves for sure and I a definitely checking out all of these on your list. That is an impressive collection and I love love love good fragrance 😉
Thanks. Alien is amazing. One of my originals
Wow, that is an impressive perfume collection. I haven’t tried most. I do love Alien. That is such a gorgeous fragrance.
I agree, its a classic
That is quite a perfume collection you have there! So many beautiful bottles there! I bet they all smell so wonderful!
Thanks. Most are amazing
Your perfume collection looks amazing! I got Gucci studs pour femme and Michael Kors classic perfumes as gifts, and I love them 😍. I hardly buy perfumes 😀.
I love perfume, so it was fun to see this fabulous collection! I am looking forward to sharing it with my daughter to see what she may like!!
I love how you are so honest about your experiences. Your review of Mugler’s Alien and Tom Ford’s Orchid Soleil is refreshing because let’s be real, not every hyped perfume works for everyone. It’s great to see someone own their personal taste instead of following trends.
my favourite perfume is YSL Libre
Ohh thats an amazing choice
Lattafa – Mood Musk is my favourite
Tom Ford – Orchid Soleil
Gucci – Flora but do love Gucci Red
I have a massive perfume collection too, can’t resist buying more haha
Rather envious of your collection! Gucci – Flora is my favourite!
I love Maison Crivelli Neroli Nasimba – its got such a rich scent
What a fantastic collection! I’ve always had a soft spot for Flower by Kenzo
I haven’t worn perfume for years, but I work with special needs students so I can’t have the fragrance on around them. I will wear it on the weekends sometimes or when I’m going out in the evenings.
My favourite perfume is Angel by Thierry Mugler
Absolutely 💯 love marc Jacobs daisy
I love Gucci Flora. What a lovely collection you have. Perfect for all occasions.
Wow so many! I love Alien as well but I like to have a lot to switch it up 🙂
I think my current favourite perfume would Black Opium
Lattafa Fakhar is my favourite! Wow! Black bottle is unisex and white bottle is a dupe of the female YSL parfum
Its great to see so many perfumes all gathered together. I wish I had kept my selections over the years just to compare them. I tend to finish them and then dispose. I cant say I have a favourite but just always love my current one!
I love Marc Jacobs Daisy, the original and the rest of the Marc Jacobs collection
Insolence by Guerlain sounds like my kinda thing!
I love to see a perfume collection and all the bottle shapes – fascinating. My favourite right now is British Rose from the Body Shop. Roses are always in for me
