Have you ever tried Perfume Parlour?

Really cheap perfume oils and sprays. Most of the ones I've had smell stronger and last much longer than the originals you get in the shops!

This week I've bought Jimmy Choo, Baby Powder and Ghost Serenity from them. Definitely all lovely, strong smelling with lasting power.

Opium -YSL
I used to work with a girl who wore this. I found it extremely overpowering and didn't like it at all, but it is certainly a strong smell.

I truly adore "poeme" by Lancôme, it's not that widely available but is amazing, strong and unique.
When it was first marketed it was described as having the power to attract people to you Grin
Apart from that I wear Angel and that is strong too, agree with a pp regarding Alien ( same family as Angel ) I smelt it on a friend recently and couldn't get enough of it, have dropped enough hints to dp so am expecting some for Christmas!

I only do strong smells.

Chanel No 5. It's the strongest perfume ever.

I have Tom Ford Black Orchid. It's a very powerful and grownup scent. I only wear it on nights out.

I'm rather partial to Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. It's a bit strong when you first put it on but its lovely when it settles and lingers all day on me.

My signature perfume is Poison, by Dior

People are always commenting on how strong it is! (This may not be a good thing!) Grin

A christening?

Job interview!?

Out powering somebody else's perfume?

2 more votes for Poem by Lancôme & Opium by YSL. I also love super strong scents and these are my winter faves

Try Poudree by Narciso Rodriguez.

Coco Mademoiselle always gets comments. Not too strong, but every time I wear it, a man comments on liking the scent. Maybe I should wear it more often!

Paloma Picasso.

It is gorgeous. I have worn it since I was 16 (30 years). Its frequently commented on. Not many people wear it.

Calvin Klein Obssession is extremely long Lasting, similar to Opium but much cheaper. Definitely an evening scent though as a very strong spicy oriental.

I love Alien too. Last time I was in the British Library a man came up to me in the reading room and asked me to write down the name of my perfume so he could buy it for his wife.

Jean Paul gaultier in the corset (sorry I don't know the name!) is lovely.
Coco Madamoiselle, Samsara, Elizabeth Arden Red door, Clinique Elixirs, alien, Ysatis by guerlian. I detest the middle 4 and they make me feel sick, but they're strong!
Try wearing eau de parfum or perfume which are oil based rather than Eau de toilette for lasting power.
