I'm looking for a new one. I currently wear Jimmy Choo Flash but want to try something new. Any suggestions please.

I don’t know which ones they are, but I’ve complimented both men and women to be told “it’s Tom Ford”. Is there a unisex scent?
Me and my husband both wear neroli portofino and get so many comments on it.

He also likes the grey vetiver

Calvin Klein -Euphoria
Marc Jacobs - Daisy
Jimmy Choo - original

Juliet Has A Gun - Lady Vengeance. Love it but expensive and not easy to get. John Lewis used to stock it, but not now.

VioletLemon · 25/01/2022 21:04

Calvin Klein Ghost.
I've had some really expensive scents that are gorgeous but without fail GHOST is the one I'm asked about. It is lovely as are all CK scents imo.

J'adore Dior evening
Kenzo flower day

Is the Britney Spears recommend for the pink (day) or purple (night) bottle?

Funny how alien, angel and aura get mentioned so often on these posts- I can’t stand to be near any of them, they’re horrible and the only ones I’ve ever had to scrub from my skin. Also le vie est belle and flowerbomb- instantly noticeable but not in a good way. If you wear these and people comment they may be working out which scents to avoid!

I have to agree. Those type of perfumes are so sickly and overpowering and they all smell the bloody same! Definitely ones to avoid

Can't believe no one has said paco rabanne olympea (the pink/orange one) I get so many compliments wearing it and my friends and mum have all bought it too since discovering it!

Enough4me · 25/01/2022 23:33

Alien is an odd smell to me and I avoid Anais Anais and LouLou - you can smell them, but in an unpleasant way!

KavvLar · 25/01/2022 23:35

Kenzo ‘Amour’.

XelaM · 25/01/2022 23:40

I used to LOVE Kenzo, but my ex-husband and his whole family used to comment on how horrible it was Sad

Chanel No5 has always been my choice ever since. It's the best smell the the world and what Marilyn wore to bed Grin

SisterAgatha · 25/01/2022 23:50

I have TF neroli portofino and I think it smells just like savlon. I liked it in the shop and now don’t, massive shame.

Gooseysgirl · 25/01/2022 23:53

Givenchy 'L'interdit'

YSL Black opium, I bought it due to commenting to someone else about it, my sister got it last year due to commenting on me having it

ThePoetsWife · 26/01/2022 09:34

YSL Paris - the original one

Duckswaddle · 26/01/2022 09:43

I got Vera Wang’s Rock Princess recently as a day to day easy to wear kind of thing, and that’s the one that people have noticed most!

luxright · 26/01/2022 09:51

Penhaligons Halfeti and Lord George.

Whichever pp said you can't rely on what others wear is definitely true for me. I've gone up to people to ask what they are wearing, and many of the scents mentioned here have been named. But when I try them, they smell like home made fertilizer on me. Which is why I was so unhappy when CJ changed the formulation of Eternity, and it no longer smells so good on me - but from the number of people who still love it, it's just me and my perfume-killing skin again!

Flowertailbird · 26/01/2022 11:59

Vera Wang's Lovestruck is one I've been asked about

Puppylucky · 26/01/2022 19:26

Recently :
PP dupe for Vivienne Westwood Boudoir
PP dupe for Cacharel Gloria
Madonna Truth or Dare
And years ago Charlie Red!

OrlandointheWilderness · 27/01/2022 07:58

Chanel no. 5

Trinacham · 27/01/2022 08:04

Ellie saab - Girl of now. Whenever I wear this I get compliments every time.
