Whats your favourite perfume?

funkydresser

Reading all your favourites have reminded me of so many I have worn over the years, so of them I still love so much.

DD works for Elemis so looking forward to sampling their new one which has just been launced, has anyone tried it?

I sometimes think I suit aftershaves better than perfumes. My sister always smells lovely and has lots of perfumes, but when she gives me a squirt it just doesn't smell the same.

Right now i've got some Gucci by Gucci aftershave on. My son just bought it today - and it's lovely and citrusy (sp)

Sagaris

I like Diorissimo by Dior - very flowery, a bit like hyacinths and spring flowers - very nice!

Maybe you have male pheromones

Must admit, I love the smell of Joop and will occasionally pinch some to wear!

My old time favourite has to be Channel no 5, I just love that smell could cover myself in it every day xxx

Gawd don't say that. :eek:

I did wonder if i'd too much testosterone - but pheromones sounds better. :eek:

Btw, i'm not hairy or manly. Honest!

My 19 yo DD always prefers mens and buys them for herself. She got very cross with me when I discovered Burberry Touch and bought it one C'mas for hubby, she loved the smell so much but said she couldn't wear it cause it reminded her of her dad!

I'm a real stick in the mud - I've worn Hermes 24 Faubourg for about 10 years and when I got my first monthly salary some 25 years back I bought myself Chanel Cristalle and have been wearing it ever since.

That's not to say I haven't tried others - I went through a phase of wearing Montana in the 80's and discovered recently you can still get it - I'm seriously thinking about buying a bottle to see if it's as I remember

I cringe now when I think about some of my past likes - I'm sure I couldn't bear them nowadays - too intense. Just a few examples -
Opium
Cinnabar
Estee Lauder Private Collection
Giorgio Beverley Hills
Clinique Aromatics
Clinique Wrappings
Lumiere
Tresor
Paris

We should start a thread for the perfumes of the 80's - that would be a real trip down memory lane.:)

Montana...i used to love that and i was always partial to a drop of Tresor

My all time faves now are:

Shalimar-Guerlain...mums perfume forever and one whiff and it reminds me of her.

Contradiction- Calvin Klein.

Escape-Calvin Klein.

Caylx-Prescriptives...but too expensive for splashing about.

Matthew Williamson eau de parfum its the one which i get most comments on and the cheapest :cool:

My favourites tend to change quite regularly, but these are the ones on current rotation:

Diptyque Tam Dao - isn't very longlasting though
Vivienne Westwood Libertine
Prada Iris
Serge Lutens Douce Amere
Narciso Rodriguez For Her
Urban Retreat Reverie (a bargain £6.25 in Boots atm)

i've actually bought the urban retreat one when it came out 2yrs ago as i loved it's old sophisticated smell, but unfortunately, the fragrance isn't very lasting at all which is a shame. i haven't smelt your other faves, but i'll certainly check out.
as i am v fussy about scent, the only ones i wear regularly are Chanel No. 5, and White Linen by Estee Lauder. i quite like Tom Ford range for men, but i tested the whole range and i couldn't remember the names of the ones i liked!:p
