Favourite fragrance?

Penhaligon's Orange Blossom, it's like walking from shade into sunshine on a summer's day

I've run out & it's way too expensive to buy for myself right now, so after dropping heavy hints, I'm hoping for a combined family gift for my birthday next week

I used to love 3 other fragrances, but one was discontinued & the other 2 were reformulated & now smell nothing like they used to ... I wish 'they' wouldn't do that

I love Kenzo flower, it's my favourite of all time.

I tend to like the more unisex type perfumes though seem to end up always liking the types which I can never afford!

When I was younger it was Calvin Klein CKOne and CKBe.

A few years ago it was the Diptyque scents (most of them) these start at £50 for a small 50ml scent.

Next moved on to Comme Des Garcons, the Insense range and also Wonderwood (starting at £65 a go).

My latest? Well I've really managed to supass myself this time: Hermes D'Voyage, the cost? ....£85 for 100mls! (35mls is cheaper at £60 but 35mls is not going to last me more then a month or two!)

I should add, I never know what the cost of perfumes is when I look at them, I should teach myself to look first but who does! I live off samples and dreams... I'm yet to find dupes of anything I like. Despite asking companies such as those mentioned on here if they make smell-alikes of the perfumes I like the answer is always 'no'.

Just brought my wife a bottle of Jimmy Choo, a very nice perfume.

POPPYOSCAR

No.5

I was bought this years ago for christmas by my boss in my very first job.I had no idea it was so expensive at the time.

Not being able to afford it very often I used others over the years,
but now I only ever wear this.

i love chanel no5 for somewhere special but for every day i love georgio red ... i struggle to find georgio red now as it is an old perfume, so when i find it i pick up a few bottles and keep them packed by in a dark cupboard

OMG - me too for Georgio Red. Can't believe there's another "me" out there.

As I understand it, they only stopped selling it in the UK, but you can get it in Germany? I don't know how accurate that is, but that's what I was told. Certainly, I seem to be able to get it abroad, now and then.

Last bottle I got was from a guy who came to the workplace selling perfume, cosmetics etc. Sadly, I don't work there any more, so that won't be a source for me, in the future.

Another one I like - also on the "difficult to find" list - is L'Instant de Guerlain.

Seems I like to make things difficult .....

My favourites are Marc Jacobs Daisy, DKNY Be Delicious, Paul Smith Rose. My absolute favourite is Ralph Lauren Romance. I love a lot of the Escada perfumes as they tend to be lovely and fruity.

Yesterday I treated myself to a bottle of Givenchy Very Irresistible Electric Rose. A woman at the counter in Debenhams sprayed me with it a couple of weeks ago, but I wasn't really paying attention as I was purchasing some nail varnish. It was only a few minutes later, after I'd left, I realised how much I liked it. It's taken two weeks to work out which one it was.

I also love Armani Diamonds when my friend wears it. On my skin it smells truly awful.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, I wear it all the time and get loads of compliments on it.

Hermia

I like Vivienne Westwood's Naughty Alice. I get loads of compliments whenever I wear that. I recently got Cheeky Alice too. I also like Magnifique by Lancome.

Does anyone find they can massively go off perfumes? I used to adore Angel, but now find it utterly revolting. I have had that happen with a few perfumes. Other people seem to like the same perfumes for life so not sure what is wrong with my nose!

I've got loads - CKIn2U, Angel, Vera Wang Princess, Armani Code, Lacoste Touch of Pink but my current favourite is Lady Million - love that.
