    They are now all kept in a locked drawer in my bedroom, as my youngest son and his friend raided my collection to make a Harry Potter potion on Halloween last year :eek:

  • Love my Chanel No 5, DH buys a large bottle every year at xmas, (from Boots as I collect the points) and I have the body lotion, (which has lasted ages) too.

    I don't use it daily but do have some Avon samples for splashing about.:)

    I never wear perfume, mainly because I never go anywhere.
    The last time I wore any was over 20 years ago and it was called Samsara, no idea who it was by but I liked it.

  • I'm a perfume nut. :) At the moment, I'm obsessed by Chanel's Sycamore and Cuir de Russie. I also love Guerlain's Jicky, and always come back to it, along with Red Roses from Jo Malone.

    Other past loves include Hypnotic Poison, Dune (both Dior), Sun, Moon & Stars (Lagerfeld), Coco (Chanel)....I could be here all day. :D

    My Granny and Mama always wore the same scent - which means that if I smell Poison, I expect to see my Granny, even though she died 9 years ago. Similarly, my mother always wears either Stephanotis or Seringa , both of which are Floris perfumes, and not particularly common, and so both smell to me entirely of my mother (a very positive association, by the way!)

    I love the idea of signature perfumes, but I am too scatterbrained. I have signature 'smells' that are in perfumes i buy though.....and that's as close as I'll get:D


    Especially as they keep discontinuing the ones I like :mad:

    Now I feel guilty. I sometimes wear perfume just to go to bed :o
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    I have a perfume I wear just to wear to bed sometimes. It reminds me of a particular time and place.


    I don't need to go somewhere to smell something nice. :)
  • My favourite is Very Irresistable by Givenchy, however I also like Stella McCartney.. I think it is called Sheer.

    I wear perfume everyday, it makes me feel all girly! lol

    Life is sometimes a bit pants but occasionally you can wear your french knickers! :D

    Oh, me too! And often, only perfume ;)

    But to answer the original question - I have four on the go at present.

    A cheap vanilla scentd one that you can only get in America (from the Warm Vanilla Sugar range in Bath and Bodyworks, about $30 a bottle) that is nice for every day. I love vanilla.

    Lancôme - La Vie Est Belle. Had it new for my wedding as I kept reading that if you wear a new scent on your wedding day, every time you wear it it will remind you of that day. It doesn't! Maybe I don't have a smell memory. It is still a lovely perfume though.

    Ghost - Deep Night. My oldest favourite. Not too expensive, also nice for every day.

    Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Just lovely.

    Happy hunting! :)
