And Lacoste pour Femme - good for daytime, unusual and pretty.

I only wear First by Van Cleef and Arpels which is getting hard to find. Thanks to a previous thread I am now stocked up for a bit but I don't want to buy loads in case it goes off.
I have been trying a few testers lately but I've yet to find a replacement I really like. Most of the cheap ones seem to smell a bit "off" on me and even Chanel No 5 which smells great on my mother smells odd on me :rolleyes:.0 -
I wear Angel (only for special occasions though - I cant afford to replace it when it runs out so it is used very sparingly!!) I get a lot of envious remarks from people I know who love it but it smells like cat pee on them - they all say it smells gorgeous on me!!! I think its one of those perfumes that dont suit everyone, like Chanel No 5.
I like a light perfume for day - I have four for day, plus one for night occasions that dont warrant me wearing Angel!
Day - I wear Ted Baker W - I wore this for years until they changed it and I didnt like the new one, but I found a huge bottle of it in the sale section of Boots in Bournemouth in the summer and was thrilled to bits! CKOne - the first perfume I ever wore; Lacoste Touch of Pink and also one from BeneFit's Crescent Row collection called 'Laugh with me LeeLee' which is absolutely gorgeous!
I have CKin2u for evening - which I hated at first but now I adore it,
good luck with the perfume hunting! xx*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 -
I should have gone to bed about an hour ago but I started reading this thread! It's been great to read about all the different perfumes. At the moment I like Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely but I am looking to try something new. I am an 80's girl too and had forgotten about Dune, Georgio Beverly Hills, O de Lancome and Ralph Lauren's Lauren - all of which I loved! I used to like Azuree by Estee Lauder but they stopped doing it ages ago. It smells like Aramis - My first boyfriend wore this and I still love the smell of it, and always go and have a sniff of it when I am near the testers in shops:o. The other night I was at my friend's house and her 20 year old son came down wearing it and I almost went weak at the knees.
OF the ones I have tried out in store lately I like Flowerbomb and Pure White linen. I really don't like Chanel No5, youth dew or Anais Anais on me - they all seem to smell really sickly but I like them on other people.
I have yet to try the Jo Malone ones - can you only get them in Jo Malone shops? I don't know where there is one near to me (Liverpool Area).Jane

I don't know why EL doesn't promote this, but it's always been available on the site for £25, which is very good value for 60ml. Treat yourself!

This thread is helping me with choosing a new perfume as a birthday pressie. Tehe.

I just bought Lolilta Lempika 'L' its a very heavy fragrance: initially very light and citrussy but dries down to vanilla incense. One spray lasts absolutely ages!
I also love Moschino I Love Love (very similar to Light Blue) and any of the DKNY Delicious ones.
My fave for daytime is Tommy Girl Summer (it was £5 in the boots sale).Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170
