WIN: Perfume worth R1000 from My Perfume Shop

A spritz of perfume is the last thing I do every morning, just before I step out the front door…

I love selecting the scent that speaks to me the most each day, the one that matches my mood, the one that will follow me through the day reminding me of all things lovely and bringing a smile to my face.

A new perfume has power: Immediate power to lift your mood, inspire your thoughts and boost your confidence, but a scent also has a lingering power that can even last a lifetime….

Catch a whiff of the perfume your mother or grandmother used to wear and it will take you back to your childhood immediately. Spritz the scent you wore on your wedding day and your memories will spring to life. Find a forgotten fragrance sample in your toiletry bag from your last holiday and step back onto the beach or into the bush…

Perfumes have the power to transport us back in time, to help us remember days gone by, people we loved and places we traveled to. This is because the part of our brain that processes our sense of smell is so closely linked to the part of our brain that stores our memories, I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love knowing that each perfume in my collection has a story, a memory, a time and place in my life.

And I love adding to my collection, especially when there is a special occasion or trip that I want to remember. I’ve been known to select a new scent when one of these life events or seasons happens just so that I have a smell to associate with it.

But perfumes don’t come cheap, do they!? And they shouldn’t, these are not just bottles of scented water. They are works of art that have been developed over years by experts who combine the most precious of ingredients in beautiful bottles for us to treasure….

Fortunately My Perfume Shop is an online store holding the largest stock of French and rare International perfumes in South Africa, including many lines that have been discontinued in retailers. They are also the only perfume retailer in SA that sells testers and one of the few that stock miniatures.

What’s more is that their prices can be up to 40% below retail cost! For example a 75ml EDP bottle of Loverdose by Diesel sells for cheaper than the 30ml (of a similar product) on another online store and a 100ml bottle of Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs retails in stores at R1615 and their tester of the same size is only R950!

They are also the stockists of exclusive fragrance brands such as Dyptique, Creed, Penhaligons, L’Artisans, Amouage and Serge Lutens

    Love. Romance. Elegance. For a woman who understands that time is precious and moments in this fast-paced world are to be treasured. Because love is a treasure, and TRÉSOR evokes that feeling of everlasting love.

  35. They all look and sound gorgeous!!!

    As much as I’d LOVE to try a Diptyque candle, especially the Baies scent, I think I’d most definitely like to win Armani Si. I always thought the hype on it was exactly that – just hype. Then I got a sample in a magazine and am so in love.

    I’d love it to be my wedding fragrance, in July. It’s such a special and luxurious scent and my fiance thinks it smells incredible too!

  62. Olympea Acqua by Paco Rabanne for me please 🙋 The very first time I smelt it was a little perfume sample in one of The Elle magazines. It was instant love for me from that point on and owning this beautiful scent is high on top of my desires list 💕 This magnificent perfume has the ability to pick you up no matter what, it smells fresh yet it smells really feminine and sophisticated and that makes me feel like a million dollars. Thank you so much for granting me the opportunity to own my dream scent 💐
