Hi all,
Here's a question - I'm a perfume nut. What are your HG/signauture fragrances?

My HG fragrance is Prada L'eau d'ambree, I also love Bvlgari Blu Notte which unfortunately I no longer have (I have 43 :eek:bottles of perfume so cannot justify buying anymore until I make a dent in this stash) Bvlgari Black is another favourite.

happy pampering, xo

My favourite perfumes are, L'eau d'issey for daytime although I haven't had it for years and have had to make do with M&S's copy. CK Eternity is my nightime choice, I also adore YSL Paris.

DH had a school reunion last night, I didn't go in the end and am glad as nobody else took partners. These things do have a habit of making you feel crap about your life which is why I won't go to any of mine. I'm sure people totally exaggerate about their success.

Beautiful day on the cards here so relaxing in the garden with a healthy BBQ later. Have a good day all.

I'd be hard pressed to narrow it down as I love perfume and couldn't imagine being satisfied with just one or even two, I like different ones for different times of the year, different occasions and so forth. And I'll get bored with certain scents for a while and then go back to them later.

Looking at the question another way, of my current collection, which would I be itching to replace if I finished it.:

- Neroli by the Cotswold Perfumery. Neroli is my favourite aromatherapy oil and it's a very happy sort of smell - when I did an aromatherapy course it was described as the rescue remedy of the oils - good for an instant pick up.

- Aqua Allegoria Pampelune by Guerlain. Love a nice citrus for work and have bought this one a few times - grapefruit is really uplifting, good for getting me going in the morning.

- Bella Bellissima No 3: Selfridges describe it as "a sweet harmony of fragile Mediterranean blossom and subtle, warming resins. ... rich notes of sun–drenched orange flower are blended with honeyed cyclamen" - so its the Neroli (aka orange flower) I am attracted to I suspect.

I'm very lucky to have a fab perfumery in the part of London I live, they sell only niche type brands so they are really unusual... though it is a bit tempting - can't leave without buying something. I also did a perfume making course at the Cotswold Perfumery which was amazing. Still using the perfume I made (it did feature a touch of neroli too....)

I guess my most versatile one is Amor Amor by Cacharel

For night time and more of a winter fragrence i stick to diors pure poison or the Tendre poison and a little seems to go a really long way.

I also really love the Ralph Lauren Hot fragrence for summertime because it smells like coconut and reminds me of tropical beaches.

I dont really venture much away from these 3 as i dont like to have many bottles on the go in case they go off

Pantene Pro-V Coloured Hair Protect &Smooth Conditioner 200ml
