Products I've used up #1 - Perfume Edition

As you all might know I LOVE perfume. I adore the pretty bottles and all the amazing fragrances. But there is the possibility that I accumulated too many different perfumes in the past. Don't get me wrong, I really like every single scent I bought, but - unlike wine - perfume doesn't get better with age. Therefore I set myself a goal at the beginning of 2012: I would like to finish this year with less bottles of perfume than I started it with. So far, I guess I did quite well. To motivate myself I decided to document my progress. Here we go.

* Moschino Cheap and Chic EdT - a quite fresh (a bit of citrus in my oppinion) and flowery scent, a very nice every day fragrance

* Rochas Alchemie EdP - super elegant and definitely an evening scent

* Elizabeth Arden Sun EdT - I don't know how, but it smells like summer, perhaps since I associate it with sun screen (the good smelling ones).

* Vanderbilt Vanderbilt EdT - I always think "old women perfume" when I smell it on its own, but mixed with a kind of fruity scent like Jimmy Choo it turns out really nice. Yes, you got me, I mix perfumes, I do, often.

* Giorgio Beverly Hills So You EdT - nice bottle, nice scent (and I mean nice in a positive way, not nice like in "quite ok")

* Pimkie iLove EdT - That was an impulse purchase, I don't regret it but the smell just doesn't linger - or at least it doesn't on me.

Alchemie by Rochas and Moschino Cheap & Chic are the only ones I would repurchase any time soon - given the fact that I have so many other perfumes waiting to be used! :)

See, how the Moschino bottle is inspired by Olivia? So cute!

Alright, I'm going to dig into my archives and sort out the next bottles to be used (up). I feel a La Perla and Calvin Klein perfume coming up ... we'll see ...

Thank you all for reading and have a great evening!

Zum Alten Zollhaus in Forchheim / Franconia / Germany

About three weeks ago I went home because of a rather unfortunate emergency but as things calmed down we managed to squeeze in a brunch at the restaurant Zum Alten Zollhaus in Forchheim. Do you remember my post titled My last days of 2011? The pictures of Boxing Day were also taken at this wonderful restaurant. Their brunch is famous, you will have to book a table in advance since those Sundays are very popular and tables are gone fast, but it's so worth it!

 {You're always greeted with an aperitive.}
