Perfume for a lady in her 60's - any suggestions?
Comments

I like the mini sets. A couple of my favourites and a few new ones to try and if I really don't like one I can always give it away and still have loads left. I had a Dior set once. Loved it.0

Perfume is such a subjective choice one reason being what smells good on another person may not suit you or vice versa.
Personally I like Calvin Klein Eternity Moment. I would rarely buy anyone perfume- unless it was a really mini (and cheap) one!Being polite and pleasant doesn't cost anything!

I'm in my 60's and stillnlove the classics of my youth - Fidji, Anais Anais, Loulou, Youth Dew.
M&s do a lovely one "Florentina" which I always get complimented on when I wear it
The Penhaligon scents or Houbigants Quelque Fleurs would be a real treat !!!128523;
Keep away from Olde English Lavender though! Very classic but it does scream 'little old lady'0 -
My favourite is "Eden" by Cacherel.Striving to clear the mortgage before it finishes in Dec 2028 - amount currently owed - £18,886.270

When I was 16 (in 1968
) my brother went to France and brought me back a bottle of Cabochard. Every time I wore it I had loads of compliments. Over the years I have tried others but still go back to it. The only modern perfume I've ever found that suits me is Est!e Lauder Modern Muse. I'll drop a big hint soon 0
