Putting on the spritz
Sui Dreams by Anna Sui, £20 for 30ml I imagine David Beckham sprayed this on his pillow every night during the World Cup to remind him of his missus - this is Victoria's fave perfume. As a total sucker for funky packaging, I loved retro-chic New York fashion designer Anna Sui's latest masterpiece - a sumptuous scent wrapped in a cute dolly's handbag-shaped blue bottle. Hyped as 'opening the door to your fantasies', the fruity-floral fragrance of Sui Dreams is mood boosting, girlie and perfectly summery. The sweet combinations of warm and fresh tones are long lasting and distinctive, powered by delicious elements of tangerine, orange, Chinese peony, freesia, cedarwood, vanilla, anise and peach. But get too spray-happy and it's nauseating - less is most definitely more. It does exactly what it says on the bottle - a beautiful day fragrance that will give you the sweetest daydreams. Also worn by Patricia Arquette.
Angel by Thierry Mugler, £36 for 25ml This fragrance by designer Thierry Mugler is a blue-hued, oriental bouquet, which smells like teen spirit and is adored by pop princess Britney Spears and actress Cameron Diaz. Its sweet notes (candyfloss, chocolate, caramel, honey and vanilla) combined with fruity notes (fresh citrus, melons, peaches and plums) may sound yummy enough to eat, but I found the saccharine waft rather stomach-churning. I really liked the packaging - an elongated five-pointed star bottle, which is also recyclable - but its wooded notes and vague essences of sandalwood and patchouli were strongly overshadowed by a sickly essence. Sadly, the only star quality this perfume adorns is its wrapping.
