Today I want to write about two of my absolute favourites when it comes to fragrances. When I was a bit younger, I had a lot of perfumes. Some of my favourites were Clinique Happy, Emporio Armani White, Giorgio Armani Sensi, etc. However, with time, I spontaneously chose my 2 “signature" scents - Omnia Crystalline by BVLGARI and Kenzo Amour.
One of these two is the perfect all year round fragrance, that I also find suitable for both day and night:

BVLGARI Omnia Crystalline

| BVLGARI Omnia Crystalline |
This fragrance was created by Alberto Morillas in 2005. The same man was behind the creation of some other perfumes I love (for example Sensi, Emporio Armani White, Miracle by Lancôme). It is a fresh, clean scent that is, in my opinion, perfect for day use and especially for summer. I think I've already gone through 4 or 5 bottles of Omnia Crystalline's Eau de toilette.
Upon spraying it, you will smell the citrusy top note of Italian Mandarin and the scent of Lotus Flower. Then come to light the heart notes of Lotus Flower, Orris Concrete and Heliotrope. In the end you’ll be left with the wonderful scent of Musk and White Sandalwood (the base notes).
If you love the scent of Musk, which I find dominant in Omnia Crystalline, you will most likely enjoy wearing this fragrance.
If you’re searching for the perfect evening perfume, I suggest you try my other favourite:

This is a sexy fragrance that will most definitely make you stand out.
It was created by Daphne Burgey i Olivier Cresp in 2006. Olivier Cresp is also behind some notable fragrances like D&G Light Blue, Noa by Cacharel and Ange ou Démon by Givenchy.
The bottle was designed by Karim Rashid, and you can choose from three colours - fuchsia, orange and white - depending on the size (30 ml, 50 ml or 100 ml), as well as the type of fragrance (Eau de Parfum or Eau de Toilette). I have the Eau de Parfum (in fuchsia : ) ) and I can say that this is a fairly strong, sensual scent - one or two sprays will be more than enough to make you irresistible. At first, you will perceive the top notes of Rice and White Tea. After a couple of minutes, appear the heart notes of Cherry Blossom, Frangipani Blossom and Heliotrope. Just now I’ve noticed that Heliotrop is present in the heart of both of my favourite fragrances. Coincidence? I think not. ;) The base consists of Musk (no surprise here!), Vanilla and Cedar. This is a wonderful, sugary/powdery fragrance with, in my opinion, Vanilla as the dominant scent.
What are your Holy Grail fragrances? If you had to choose, which two scents would you wear for the rest of your life?
