I think there's a lot in a scent. It's extremely personal and I love how fragrances change dependent on the wearer. Obscure perfumes call to me and I frankly dislike many of the 'cult favourites', so I hope this post is somewhat useful! If nothing else, enjoy whilst I hopelessly try to describe fragrances!

Zara Life On Peach // The Library Of Fragrance Peach
Both of these perfumes somewhat satisfy my insatiable appetite for peach-scented-anythings. The Zara offering smells more of white peach (my favourite), whilst the other offering is more of yellow peach. In terms of notes, hearts and bases, it's pretty simple. Peach. These are single scent fragrances and I adore that simplicity.
