    I have Anna Sui, Prada, Icon from Lush (that I hunted down when they discontinued it and can no longer wear because my OH can't abide patchouli) and two from B Never Too Busy To B Beautiful - 1000 Kisses Deep and C0cktail.

    I don't think five's excessive.

    I haven't got any at present, so want to get some. My favourites are DKNY Be Delicious, Estee Lauder Beautiful, Chanel no 19, and Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue. I also like some of the B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful scents, Love, Cocktail etc.

    I will probably get DKNY, unless there are any promos on.

    I love Geurlain Heritage too, my best friend wears it so i cant but I dont think it would suit me anyhow
    you lot have made we want more perfume now but dont like to spend money on it and my DH.usually buys me Anais Anais which I think is one that men tend to buy for women they dont fancy! Its "nice not sexy" Good wifely perfume Grrr...haha!
    I used to love Amarige by Givenchy but my darling cat wouldnt come near me so I had to stop that one.
    I know its old fashioned but i love Coty L'aimant ..hangs head in shame..

  • I had a major perfume clearout the other week and have now got it down to the three I loved most:

    * Gwen Stefani L - 'work' perfume
    * The Body Shop Vanilla - 'casual' perfume
    * Marc Jacobs Daisy - 'special occasion' perfume

    I'd have hundreds if I could but have said that I will only buy new ones when I run out of another one. I am one of those people who will spend hours wandering round the perfume department in fancy department stores just smelling them all, and have a wish list as long as my arm.

    Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")

    Perfume stored properly can keep for years. Keep in its box and out of sunlight and heat. Most of my stuff is in dressing table drawers, no clothes in there. In their boxes. My bottle of Fleurs de Rocaille parfum is from early 1960's, bought from ebay still in the box and sealed. It smells totally fresh and as it should.
