10 Fragrances for Life

[JMAngel1]

There's a popular Youtube video called the above and I thought it would be fun for us to list our all time favourite perfumes.
I was thinking about this as I was going through a memory and found an old diary from 10 years ago of my favourite perfumes and it hasn't changed much at all!
I also would love to read everyone's lists as with lockdown, I'm really missing smelling new fragrances in department stores - spring is usually a big launch time and I can easily lose an hour immersed in the fragrance halls! Instead I'll go down a Fragantica rabbit hole!!

So my !ist is as follows

1. NR for her EDT - my absolute favourite. all year round
2. D&G Light Blue Intense. S/S
3. Tom Ford Neroli Portafino. S/S
4. Chanel Chance. S/S
5. Stella McCartney Stella. Summer
6. Agent Provacateur Maitresse Spring
7. Floral Street Ylang Ylang Espresso A/W
8. Replica By the Fireplace A/W
9. Gucci Rush A/W

10. Nina Ricci Bella S/S

A fragrance I'm dying to smell as it featured in so many of the YT videos is Marly Delina - does anyone have this and if so, do you think I would like it based on my list?

No I haven't @TheSeedsOADream.
Thank you.

Thierry Mugler - Angel
