Have been wearing a lot of Daisy (Marc Jacobs) for years, also love Wild Bluebell by Jo Malone - it's lovely.

I love Daisy. I'm thinking of buying a bottle for summer.

Anais Anais for teenage years/early twenties
Hugo Boss for women for my thirties
Currently wearing Jimmy Choo (40+)

I think I need to be a bit more adventurous but I've just remembered a brief flirtation with Fendi about 20 years ago that gave DH headaches. I needed to apply it to my ankles to have a subtle fragrance at head height

[DelphiniumBlue]

Femme and Rive Gauche as a teenager ( luckily for me had a grandmother who travelled a lot and would always bring me duty free).
Chanel No 5 in my twenties, and still use that for special days/evenings.

I've had a very dull scent life...
For many years it was Body Shop White Musk
Then I delved into Chanel... No.5
Now I deviate between Coco Mademoiselle and Dior J'Adore
Depending on my mood.
I don't wear perfume everyday as I think the clean washed smell is good too.

That green stuff with a number for a name? Loved it - wish I could remember what I mean. Popular early 80s. French?

Then I showed astonishing brand loyalty to Anais Anais - wore nothing but for ages. Decades. I'm a bit flighty these days - Chanel No 19 and No 5, some Jo Malone stuff.

White musk
Dewberry
Charlie
Anais Anais
Loulou
Obsession
Ysatis

Now alternate between Clarins Eau des Jardins, Chanel No 19 and Eau Nude by Next - never known anyone else wear it but see that Baddz and I share similar tastes in perfume.

Anais Anais must have been a mega bestseller. it's appearing on lots of lists. I thought it was glorious. Still do actually. But it's smelling my past so I wouldn't wear it again. Same with Rive Gauce.
