    Jo Malone's White Jasmine and Mint or French Lime Blossom for me. I love it when I get a whiff of it during the day and I'd no more leave the house without perfume as I would without make up.

    I don't think I know any woman who doesn't wear perfume of some sort, some cheaper, some more expensive ones (including those that don't wear make up).

    I've been known to ask woman what scent they are wearing if I smell something particularly pleasant and then have a spritz when I'm in Boots to see if it suits me as well.

    I love smelling nice and I equally enjoy my husband wearing aftershave.
    Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!!:eek:
  • I love perfume, wear it everyday whether I am going out or not.

    I usually have one or two on the go, but never keep any for best. I have very few things I keep for best, I prefer to use them and enjoy them.

    I love my perfume, it's part of my morning routine. I wear it because I like it, not for anyone else.

    My favourites are Ghost Deep night, EA Diamonds and Thierry Mugler Alien.

    It's very sweet when people buy perfume for you, and I'm always very grateful for the thought but, truth be told, I think that scent is such a personal thing that I would prefer to buy my own :o

    My friend in college discovered DKNY perfume and if anyone knows it, it's quite a strong perfume as it is. Well, she used to spray and spray and spray... every five minutes she'd be respraying _pale_ I grew to truly despise that perfume :cool:

    I love perfume and can fall in love with someone if they smell nice. I like Sarah Jessica parkers lovely, Nexts just pink and this week l bought ysl belle d'opium.

    I like the house to smell nice everywhere too, flash bathroom spray in the bathrooms and kitchen, fabric conditioner on the clothes and nice smelling sheets.

    I'm definitely a 'smelly' person. :D


    Happy moneysaving all.

    I also carry around Next and Body Shop's handbag perfumes for if I am out and need a quick touch up, I just love smelling nice.

    I LOVED Forever and Ever by Dior, but it's very hard to find.

    Some perfumes give me an instant headache and/or nausea so I have to be careful what I smell.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I wear perfume almost every day. I also keep a bottle by the front door for a squirt before i go out. I where an unuaual perfume and sometime but not regularly get asked what it is, which suggests it pleases people pther than me.

    My animals notice if i wear something different.....especially my cats who like nice smelling things and a horse belonging to a client who then follows be around smelling my neck.
