I have never been a strong lover of Perfume. Throughout my childhood and growing up I was always a tomboy. In my teenage years, my grandparents got into a habit of buying me a really nasty smelling perfume every Christmas for years on end. I, of course, pretended to like it as I didn’t want to upset them. It would then go into the back of the wardrobe to be forgotten about never to be seen again.
I don’t know if them buying me the perfumes was a last ditch attempt at trying to get me to act more girly but it didn’t work. It wasn’t until my later teenage years when I began to like girly things all of my own accord. I was never going to be persuaded to act a certain way by anyone, family or not.
Perhaps it was the awful perfume from my grandparents that put me off perfume for life but even today I don’t tend to use perfume. However, I do make the rare exception when it comes to Kylie Minogue and Cheryl.
If you don’t know, I am a MASSIVE fan of both Kylie and Cheryl. My aunt gave me two Kylie perfumes when I was younger that I didn’t use, but once I actually became a fan of her I began to use them and liked the scents.
The same can be said about Cheryl when she released each of her three perfumes I, of course, had to buy them. I even donated £100 to her charity as part of a competition once to get a signed bottle of her perfume. It may seem mad but I have a strong support for my role models/idols/inspirations and firmly believed in what she was doing with her charity. That and the fact I loved the scents.
Apart from this, I have never really been a perfume person, I just see it as a waste of money if I am brutally honest. I will continue to use my Kylie and Cheryl perfumes and will probably re-purchase when I run out. However, I won’t pursue the interest in buying other perfumes as I am a student without much money and don’t think it is something I can justify spending my money on.

I haven’t tried either of these but have also recently got more into perfume. I love a citrus scent, nothing sweet though xx

Cheryl has 3 different perfumes and one of them has citrus essence mixed in I’m sure 🙂 But yeah, I don’t really buy perfume all that often.

I used to be obsessed with Kylie perfumes, I have the pink one repeatedly from about 13 until I was 18 haha! I haven’t sniffed the Cheryl one yet so very intrigued! x

I have the Darling and Sexy Darling by Kylie currently. Thing was, in my young teenage years when I was given both those perfumes I never used them but now I do! And, I originally only bought the Cheryl perfumes because I was a fan and liking the scents was the second reason. She has 3 different ones and my favourite is probably Stormflower Noir that is in a black bottle with goldish box.

At times perfumes or such brands are overrated, you should stay with what you like, there are brands today, more tomorrow… leave to those for whom it matters

Very true point. Personally I think perfume in general is a waste of money and a lot of the new stuff that comes out smells horrible. I will use Kylie & Cheryl branded perfumes because I am a fan of them but I love the scents as well. Apart from this, its a thing I’ve just never had an interest in. I’m a student without much money from month to month so there are other things I feel are more worth my money.
