Perfume - just the one, or lots of choice?

I do have a 100+ anyway. The idea of a signature fragrance was very in vogue for a long time. But then companies decided they wanted to sell more bottles and pushed the suit your mood. I get bored wearing the same one day in day out.

The perfume industry is in financial trouble, they release so many new fragrances each year a 100 plus believe it or not. But surveys have shown the most popular where released at least 5 years ago. So you wil find lots of celeb pushed ones and weak sellers disappearing.

Gosh, there are loads above that I have never even heard of!

SJP - Lovely - for casual/ when I think about it wear.
Dior - Dune - as above
Dior - J'adore - for nights out which are so rare they are all special!

Used to wear Estee Lauder, Beautiful but have gone right off it.
DH bought me a bottle of Prada one Xmas but I'm not too keen as it's too heavy for me.

Going to have a sniff along the perfume counter next time I'm in town. This thread has reminded me I haven't done that for ages!

Gosh that's a lot of perfumes!!

I used to own about 5, but only really used one so i sold the ones i didn't like on ebay (and got close to what i paid for them). My fave atm is stella mcartney BUT i have just discovered that m&s do a perfume called 'sheer blush' and it is identical and only £12.

I use it everyday, then whe it's finished i will go shopping for a new one. My faves in the past have been ckin2u, ralph lauren romance, and prada.

Oh I’ve also got my own perfume that I had made. My husband bought me a perfume making experience as a present because he knows how much I love perfume. I went just before our wedding and I named my perfume “To Have and To Hold” it is even registered on the perfume registry.

For anyone who loves perfume I would really recommend going on a perfume making experience it was great fun and you get to make your very own scent that nobody else has and name it too

I'm generally a one perfume girl. I started out with Sunflower but didn't like it. Then I got Chloe narcisse, love it but now I'm older I can't wear it (too strong). I then moved onto Davidoff cool water. Now I have Vera wang princess. I only bought this a couple of weeks ago and I love it. I've been dithering about getting it for a year and they had the whole set for £38.49 in the perfume shop which was 50p cheaper than the 50ml bottle on its own!

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.

I was wearing this the other night.

I love this site. Bought loads from here, especially Caron perfumes. Free shipping to the UK too.

I have just bought Jai Ose body spray from them after previously purchasing the EDT from them. They are really good for quite obscure perfumes. But Guerlain, Chanel et al are no cheaper than over here.

Perfumes are my downfall. I must have about 50 many in their boxes in my wardrobe.

Edit: Anyone remember The Onedin Line from the 70s?

Just listening to the 'proper' version and have to share it with you all. It is simply beautiful music.

Check out 6'10.

I love perfume, and have a few different bottles to suit how I feel.

My absolute favourite if I coud afford to buy it is Chanel no5, not the new Eau premiere version, the original. I'm only 22 but it suits me perfectly.

Of course being MSE that is out of the question for me, so I wear Delirium by Mango which is gorgeous. Got given a couple of tester bottles at my local Lloyds pahrmacy and got hooked.

I also own Charlie Red which I don't wear any more - I always wore this as a teenager but now I really don't like it but my brother tends to buy this for Christmas/Birthdays when he can't think of anything!

I also have a bottle of Kylie's Showtime fragrance which I bought for £4 at my local charity shop (Yes, my charity shop rocks!) which I wear on those days when I need a little pick-me-up early in the morning. It smells so different to my usual perfumes, it's almost a fizzy, sparkly scent.

My final perfume is Little Black Dress by Avon, such a classic smelling perfume but not many people seem to wear it so I tend to get compliments on that one a lot.
