Juicy fans, your prayers have been answered. This supersized version of your favourite scent will make all your wildest dreams come true. Cocktailing the iconic mix of wild berries, creamy vanilla and sparkling jasmine, this is one sweet treat that you’ll want to keep all to yourself.
Miu Miu Eau de Parfum, 100mL, $170, David Jones
Miu Miu released their first self-named fragrance in 2015, and the beauty world lost the plot. The bright, quilted bottle captures the young, fun energy of the brand and the patchouli and floral scent is a timeless addition to any perfume collection.
My Burberry EDP, 90ml, $220, Myer
A uniquely British take on a traditional floral scent, My Burberry is intended to evoke the smell of roses after rain. This fragrance is classic as the brand’s famous trench coat.
Ariana Grande CLOUD EDP, 100mL, $59, Priceline
With notes of orchid vanilla, raspberry, grapefruit and musk, this fun, fruity floral is perfect for anyone trying to mix their scent up and try something a little bit different.
Black opium has become some a cliche sort of perfume. It's literally the best perfume, yet everyone's got it and everyone wears it. It's amazing though and men really love it too apparently judging from a lot of opinions I've come across with reviews and real life
MJ one looks so tacky. Because I dislike the bottle so much I got Mugler's Aura that smells even better. Need to sniff that last one, it is quite popular dupe for one of insane "niche" overpriced perfumes, so will check it out.
I'd love to try Black Opium – for the bottle alone
