A recent thread on vomit inducing perfumes made me want to know all your favourites!

My go to scent is Samsara by Guerlain. Also love Jean Paul Gaultier Classique and DKNY Be Delicious.

painauchocanot · 16/09/2021 22:55

Dior Joy has been mentioned a couple of times already, that's a winner for me.

Chanel Cristalle is my absolute favourite. I used to love L'Air du Temps until my late DH told me it smelled like an old lady perfume Grin

H1978 · 16/09/2021 23:14

Armani si for an everyday fresh smell
Gucci oud intense for an evening fragrance

Also love scandal by night by Jean Paul Gaultier and Ralph Lauren’s woman, for more affordable fragrances.

Dior Dune (if it’s still around, I loved it in the 90s
No. 5
Coty L’Aimant
Água de Seville - one I’ve just discovered and am obsessed with. The male version is wonderful too.

@Flidina one of my all time favourite perfumes nwas Esperys by E. coudray. It was discontinued about a decade ago. It is unusual to see E. coudray mentioned on these threads.

I can't give a favourite perfume as it depends on mood, weather, occasion. Some contenders would be:

If I need to feel comforted then I wear Vanille Orchide by van cleef and arples.

Hypnotic poison and Coco Chanel for evening

La Panthere by Cartier for work

FlowerArranger · 16/09/2021 23:27

White Linen by Estée Lauder.
Very crisp and fresh.
30+ years…….. - I’ll wear it for my funeral Wink

NotMyCat · 16/09/2021 23:31

I have WAY too many. My faves in two pics

@NotMyCat Does it smell like fresh laundry ? I think I need to try this!

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 17/09/2021 08:36

Jo Loves Green Orange and Coriander

I like a scent with a bite and lots of perfumes that smell gorgeous on others smell sickly on me and make me feel Envy Not envy. Need vom emoji

It does but sadly you can't buy it
Have you tried any of the Clean range? They're my fave laundry type ones and used to do a sample set

userxx · 17/09/2021 08:48

Bummer! Yes, I tried clean years ago. Might look into repurchasing 👍

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 17/09/2021 09:29

Je Reviens, but hard to find now.

Amarige and Cabotine are also favourites. I hate anything over sweet/heavy/musky.

RosewoodBox · 17/09/2021 09:33

L'eau d'Issey is my all time favourite. I also like Burberry Weekend and CK One Summer. I'm easily pleased 😀

RosesAndHellebores · 17/09/2021 09:37

My favourites are very pedestrian:
Hypnose
Trevor Midnight Rose
Estee Lauder Modern Muse eau de Parfum
Dior J'Adore
Cartier La Panthere

Was once bought Chanel Chance and received compliments but I didn't particularly like it.
