Bottles: Guess Seductive Red (30ml), Lacoste Pour Elle (50ml).
Samples: Chanel No 5 L'eau, Lancome La vie est Belle, Givenchy L'interdit, YSL Black Opium Glitter, V&R Flowerbomb and Valentino Donna Born in Rome og.
Of the bottles I don't think I will repurchase them. I liked Guess more as I love cherry and I could smell the cherry in this one, but it's an edt and maybe not long lasting enough for me. Lacoste is also an edt and I got noseblind to it quickly after applying. It smelled really nice for the brief moment I could notice it. I think I would have loved this in my teens. Cute, but not for me.
Of the samples I could see myself maybe buying the YSL and Valentino (10ml penspray/30ml fb) some day, but right now I have 15 full bottles and 8 samples more to go through. I could not smell the Chanel properly either. La vie est belle and Flowerbomb were too heavy and L'interdit was too spicy, not for me. Valentino felt like an easy everyday reach, very nice. Soft, sweet and a little woody. 1-2 sprays is enough. I liked the coffee note in YSL Glitter.
I bought way too many (13) perfumes last year and this year I'm trying to not buy anymore and just use what I have. I think I should use up like 3 bottles before adding one to my collection. I like to have variety, but I've noticed that the amount that I have makes me a little anxious. Even the samples take time to get used up. They're 1,2ml-1,5ml so I got like 6 uses/days per sample.
