Perfume - just the one, or lots of choice?

Do you have one favourite scent that you wear every day for every occasion? Or do you have a few....or even as many as Selfridges' perfume department?
I'll start off the confession:
Armani - She - now worn everyday cos I think its gorgeous
Christian Dior - Dune - usually worn for evenings, smells of satsumas & reminds me of Christmas!
Christian Dior - Dolce Vita - light, used to be my everyday scent before the Calvin Klein
Calvin Klein - Truth - again a light scent, used to be an everyday perfume before the Armani took over!
To "support" these scents, I also have shower / bath gel in Dolce Vita, Dune & Truth, and body lotion for all 4.
Also, all 4 are kept in their original box on my dressing table (along with lots of clutter & dust!).
Before I settled on these I used to wear:
Aromatics by Clinique (reminded of this by Whatatwit!)
Amarige by Givenchy (stopped when I found out my ex-husband's new woman wore it :rolleyes:),
Glamorous by Ralph Lauren (was a 40th gift & was just too rich for me
),
Anais Anais (my dad bought me my first bottle of this, when I was 17 :A), Paris by YSL (stopped when my ex-MiL decided she liked it & started wearing it!
)
and the standard for girls of my generation - Charlie or Impulse spray when still at school!
So come on....are you a single-scent poster or do you have a flurry of frgrances to choose from?

I'd have hundreds if I could. At present B Spot from Benefit, but have Prada, Sunflowers, Green Tea, Cerutti 1881, Armani White, Clinique Happy, Pleasures and tons of others in the cabinet.
I covet my next door neighbour's dressing table...over the last 15 years I have known her, she has collected practically every perfume she can. Her dressing table has a 3 foot extension shelf unit to store them in...if only my place had room to fit a dressing table in as well as a bed...(sigh)I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll

Just the one here- "First" by Van Cleef and Arples.
I just love this but it is now getting very hard to find ( never was very easy) and I live in dread of it being discontinued.0 -
I don't wear perfume for work, so I tend not to have lots.
Currently in use.
Clinique - Aromatics, I also use the body lotion in this.
Paco Rabanne - Ultaviolet, I bought this as my favourite ice skater wears it and he smelt lovely, obviouslt he wears the man's version
I also have, but don't wear.

I admit I am a complete perfume !!!!! but I started getting over run with lots of half used bottles so I told myself I wasn't allowed to buy any until I used some up. At the moment I've got
* Vera Wang Princess
* Calvin Klein Euphoria
* Kenzo Flower by Kenzo
* Rush by Gucci
so I think it's time for some new ones!
My all time favourite is Jean Paul Gaultier Classique - my bottle has just run out and I NEED to get some more.
Some other favourites include:
* Acqua Di Gio
* Paul Smith Rose
* Dior Addict II
I fancy getting a couple of perfumes I've not had before I really liked Vera Wang Rock Princess when I went in and smelt it at the weekend.
I think a treat might be in order on payday and my birthday is coming up so I might ask for some perfume as a present.One day Rodney we'll be millionaires£2020 in 2020 - Running Total £170 -
I've got 4 perfumes that I wear for various occasions.
Daytime/Work: Lacoste Touch of Pink (also have the deodorant and body lotion)
CK1 - the first perfume I ever had and still the best!!!
Night Time (non special occasions) : CK In2U
Special Occasions: Thierry Mugler Angel (this is used extremely sparingly as I cant afford to replace it when it runs out!!!!)
My first perfume was CK1, then Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl, (my mate still uses this and I still love the smell!!) I wore Cool Water for Women for years and years but now cant stand the smell of the stuff! Ultraviolet by Paco Rabanne - I only had one bottle of that then went off it!! Ted Baker for Women - I loved that stuff but then they changed it and I didnt like the new one so I stopped wearing it. I also love Vera Wang Princess - it was the first present OH bought me when we started going out! Will have to buy some more soon I think.*The RK and FF fan club* #Family*Don’t Be Bitter- Glitter!* #LotsOfLove ‘Darling you’re my blood, you have my heartbeat’ Dad 20.02.200
