The Times Magazine Best 100 Beauty Products | Part 11 - Perfumes

It's back, it's back!! The feature which I was regularly doing back last summer has finally returned! If you recall, I could no longer continue this segment due to the fact of my incompetence in that I left the articles at home... but I brought them back this time! And thus I can finally bring to you the rest of the 100 Best Beauty Products as decided by The Times Magazine*.
And just for a recap, here are what we have already gone through:
Suncare, Hair Tools, Footcare , Haircare, Masks, Serums , Eyecare, Bodycare, Cleansers  and what kicked it all off, Face Creams.
So without further ado, here is Part 11, Perfumes!

1. Jean Paul Gaultier Classique eau de parfum, £57
A scent as iconic as its bottle.




2. Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Escape to Panarea, £39
Sweet, summery fragrance. 


3. Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin Cologne, £78

4. Tom Ford Jonquille de Nuit, £140

I hope you are as excited as I am about the return of this segment!
Are any of your favourites on here?
