Perfume - just the one, or lots of choice?

Cinny91

My first perfume was BS Fantasy when I was 16. My boyfriend then went through a phase of every pressie being perfume (a girl shouldn't really complain!) so now I have:

BS Fantasy
BS Curious
BS Midnight Fantasy
BS Hidden Fantasy (See the pattern?)
Avons 007 Perfume
Harajuku Girl 'G'

Midnight Fantasy is my favourite, but I just use whichever one takes my fancy in the morning. Normally Hidden Fantasy.

All really commercial scents (and ones I don't really like owning up to using) trying to use them all up so I can get myself just the *one* scent, loving Miss Dior atm!

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.

This month's Cosmopolitan has a code in it for £5 off any 50ml perfume at House of Fraser - I don't have my copy to hand right now but could get it for you tonight/tomorrow?

Ooh I love this thread, I'm trying to cut down on the amount of perfumes I have 'on the go' - but at the moment I have:

Paul Smith - Floral (everyday)
Dior - Miss Dior Cherie (special occasions)
Chanel- No.5 (very special occasions)
Gwen Stefani - Lil' Angel (handbag neccessity!)

Not doing too badly, but it's nice to have some variety, I get through it really slowly though, unlike my sister who goes through more bottles than I ever though imaginable!

How long do you think some perfumes last for? I've got an ageing bottle of Chanel that needs using up!

Really should give some of them away... far too many!

You can chuck your bottle of JPG Classique in my direction if you like

Just battered the bank account on some Hermes Jardin sur le Nil - after the top notes give you a bit of a slap in the face, the proper scent reminds me of fishing in a lily pond...not necessarily a criticism, especially for the angling fans out there, but I'm not convinced of the description of the Nile. Oh well, the scent is lovely and that's just marketing anyway....

Beyond paradise and Amber Romance (victoria's secret).
When I wear Amber Romance...both men and women come up to me and tell me I smell good hehe

My everyday perfumes are Marc Jacobs Daisy and Juicy Couture EDP, and for going out i wear Chanel No5.

I also have Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste, Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely, Vera Wang Princess and Prada EDP. I like these 4 scents but not enough to buy again so i'll be on the lookout for new ones to try soon:D

This year I have enjoyed wearing Calvin Clein Euphoria. I also loved the Clarins Par Amour but that has been discontinued now.

I always have a bottle of the "original" Clarins Eau Dynamysante which is more a body fragrance but I love it and its plant based and makes you feel fresh and fragrant. I have a small bottle of the "blue" eau too and yesterday I treated myself to a large bottle of the Clarins Sunshine Fragrance which is gorgeous.

I seem to be moving towards lighter, fresher fragrances as I get older!! I find that some perfumes are too heavy and actually make me feel headachey.

I have about half a dozen - L'eau De Issey, CK One, Loulou, Joop, Alien, Samsara - but my favourite at the moment is Eden by Cacharel, it's light and summery.
