My Mini Perfume Collection
Disclaimer: I was not sent any of these products. I am not being paid for my opinions. Everything mentioned was purchased by me except for Gucci Premiere and Gucci II which were given to me as gifts from my sister. Post does not contain any affiliate links.
I became obsessed with perfume during my sophomore year of college after I bought a Sephora Fragrance Sampler for Her (something like this) for myself. Needless to say, I bought 2 more different sets of these samplers over the years and this helped me try a wide range of scents without spending a ton of money to commit to an expensive bottle of perfume until I was sure what I liked.
Heads up, I love floral scents. I also have a crush on Gucci fragrances as you will be able to tell ;) 3 of the 5 perfumes below are 1 oz. and 2 of them are 1.6 oz. After using perfumes the past few years, I realized getting the 1.6 oz. are worth it simply because they last longer even after so much use, like my Gucci Guilty. At first, I thought the 1 oz. were better for me because I get bored of scents, but I realized I would rather pay a little more for more than 1 oz. to try it for longer.
I'll start in the order I got each perfume. The first 3 perfumes I chose from past Sephora Fragrance Sampler sets, but these should be available for purchase separately.
Marc Jacobs Oh Lola! Eau de Parfum
I like this floral perfume as a spring scent. According to Sephora, the notes for this scent are Raspberry, Vanilla, Peony, Pear, and Cyclaman. I don't plan on repurchasing Oh Lola because I have found better perfumes I want to try.

Gucci Flora Eau de Parfum
This is also a floral scent. I love using this during the winter and layering it for a more lasting power and warmer scent. The notes for this are Citrus Accord, Peony, Rose, Osmanthus Flower, Pink Pepper, and Sandalwood. I would definitely repurchase Gucci Flora!

Gucci Guilty Eau de Toilette
This is one of my favorite perfumes I own. I have received a few compliments when wearing this and I just love the smell. I would definitely repurchase this again! The notes for this are Mandarin, Pink Pepper, Peach, Lilac, Geranium, Amber, and Patchouli. There is an intense version of this scent but I feel like the original Guilty and Guilty Intense smell the same. Maybe the lasting power is different?

Gucci Premiere Eau de Parfum
I was obsessed with a mini of this scent for a while that my sister decided to buy this for me!
This scent is light and fresh. The notes for Gucci Premiere are Bergamot, Orange Blossom, White Flower, Musk, Leather, and Wood.

Gucci II Eau de Parfum
This is the most recent addition to my collection. This is also really expensive so thanks again to my sister for the generous gift ;) I haven't used it for long, but so far with one spray, the scent is strong enough for me. The notes for this are Mandarin, Bitter Orange, Blackcurrant, Violet, Blackberry, Jasmine, Heliotrope, and Cedarwood. FYI. The packaging for this bottle is obnoxious! All the extra glass, especially in the lid makes this bottle unnecessarily heavy. I might eventually ditch the lid.
