perfume tray


Ahhh perfumes. How I love to admire your beauty. 

This is my current collection {Lollia Wish, Tocca Brigette, Chloé, Prada Candy L'Eau, Cartier Goutte de Rose, Miss Dior (Toilette) & True Religion} and I have them displayed on this drool-worthy vintage tray that I bought for TEN DOLLARS at a flea market. But seriously... what is it about perfumes that makes us women swoon? I just feel like I have so much appreciation for the aesthetics of ANYTHING, really. I'm just such a visual person. I will HONESTLY convince myself that I like the smell of a perfume, if the bottle design suits my fancy. You know you have a problem when... ^_^

  5. I am literally the exact same way; if a perfume looks pretty, I will convince myself that I like the smell because I just need to own pretty bottles. The only difference is that I'm stuck keeping them on my vanity instead of on a lovely tray like you have. By any chance, will you be posting Christmas-related posts? I know there's only 8 days left, but I'm still holding out for some because Christmas is the besthaha.

  11. Have you noticed how heavy the Tocca perfume bottle is?! That gets me every time. If it's a heavy bottle, it has to be luxurious and awesome.

  15. Only $10.00? Steal!
    I am the EXACT same with perfume bottles. If it's cute, 100% guarantee I will love it. Unless of course it's repulsive. You have such a nice collection, topped off with that tray. Mine unfortunately are in drawers in my bathroom xP
    I see you plan to do a Christmas Apartment Tour! That sounds great! I'd love to see what you have done around your house...we have a similar taste in decor so it is always nice to see what you have come up with! ^ - ^
    Maybe you and Anthony could do a Holiday Question Tag themed video or another attempt at a gingerbread house? Those would be cute! :3
    Happy Holidays!

  18. which flea market you go?? I've tried to look for some here in Pasadena (not too common thing here) but I wanna go somewhere in LA. :D

  19. Love to see your blog posts Kalel! Those perfume bottles look DIVINE. I definitely find it worth buying more expensive perfumes because they tend to last A LOT longer than any old body mist/spray. I use up like half the bottle of a body mist just to make sure that there is an actual smell LOL! With a high-end perfumes, I only do a couple of pumps and I'm out the door. If I put them on a sweater I wear again before I wash it, the scent lingers and it amazing

  21. 70% of the time i buy a bottle of perfume because i like the bottle more then the perfume!
    I also have my perfumes on an antique tray, i think the bottles look lovely when they are all together and displayed nicely. I am loving these posts!

  22. Totally understand! I have so many perfumes I dont know what to do with myself :)

  23. I ended up making a fragrance area in the corner of my bedroom with my collection of perfumes (And my fiance's, like, TWO colognes), and to be quite honest it ended up looking like a cult's shrine to the fragrance gods. It's a rose-gold colored platter with candles, and it's placed in front of a mirror. The candles combined with the shapes of the bottles give a very nice ethereal glow to them.

    But, at the same time, I look over and know that out of the 20 perfumes I own, I only use three -nervous laugh- The people who make the bottles really know their stuff.

  26. I totally agree with you when you said you convince yourself you like the smell of a perfume if you like the bottle. I'm a sucker for packaging and names of perfumes..like the whole TokyoMilk line..that name (and their bottles) themselves are just drool worthy. Addicted for sureee

    k.f.c. =P

  27. so jealous of the perfume tray! I am on a serious hunt for a perfume tray (mirrored or eclectically designed) and a mirrored bar tray (to show off my decanters and pretty bar wear) to hunt the flea markets this weekend I think!

  28. Oo love it! I've just purchased one for my make up! Makes the morning 'getting-ready' a little more bearable. May have to get one for perfumes too – only for the prettiest bottles though :)

  29. Don't reply--I don't need one--I just had a dream about you and thought you might find it entertaining to read-
    You were helping out with a Smosh video--you were going to be IN the Smosh video as a main character. It was set in a waterfall/canoe area. You guys were taking pictures to be put on twitter and a lot of animated gifs--one was you kissing/making out with a breathing tube. :p You were wearing your glasses and your hair kinda down to your neck/shoulder area but in a messy-cute and wet ponytail. It was you, Anthony, Ian, and some guest star person. Somehow you were the only one with wet hair so far although I don't remember the guest star. So you guys took pictures in the water, lots of poses...and finally you guys were shot going down the waterfall in plain, clear boxy boats that looked like they would be edited in processing. You guys were silent going down, and your screams would be dubbed in. Looked like it would be a hell of a Smosh adventure video. :p

    That's it lol. Have a great Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday! (or Sunday)

  31. Love perfume, as I am an ADDICT! Why do we love it? Because who DOESN'T want to smell lovely all the time?! Unlike diets and fad clothing, fragrance adds an ambience that can be had by everyone -- equally. :-)
