What fragrance are you wearing today

Or even are you wearing more generally? And will you repurchase it?

I've Valentino Viva Voce edp on, I like it but not enough to buy a new bottle when it runs out.

@TammyJones I loved Blasé when I was a teenager! I'd forgotten all about it. I just googled it and it's still available :) https://www.expresschemist.co.uk/product55455_max-factor-blase-edt-30ml-spray.html

My two favourite perfumes have been discontinued and I'm struggling to find something I like as much. They were M&S nectar and jasmine eau de toilette and Stella.
I quite like Gucci Gorgeous jasmine but too expensive to wear every day.
Still looking for a good replacement!

Thanks I'll check it out.

@Daisychainsandglitter Stella discontinued my fave L.I.L.Y too! No explanation despite it standing for Linda I Love You and being dedicated to her mum!

@PurpleWhirple , I've just looked at their website, is it La Fumée Alexandrie? If so, it's in stock - go on go on go on go on, treat yourself for Christmas! 🤗

Definitely sounds like my type of scent too though. My goodness, I reckon I'll be asking for perfume for every birthday and Christmas from now on!

Edited

No I think they replaced it with the Alexandria one but it's not the same scent. La fumee is perfect for a day like today

4160 Tuesday's Creamy Vanilla Crumble today - delicious cosy cold-weather scent.

Liberty - Tudor as I had it in my advent yesterday Tudor. At £200 I won’t repurchase

Granado Bossa has been my go to scent over the summer. Will definitely repurchase along with the bar soap too.

La Vie Est Belle is my day to day scent for winter. Have already purchased ‘back up’ for when this bottle runs out.

Edited

Just got some la vie eat belle today.
I wanted Christmassy / Wintery , and this is perfect.
Kenzie Flower is my Summer choice.

L'imperatrice by Dolce but it's really a summer fragrance.

ThePoetsWife · 14/12/2023 07:22

Mourning the discontinued Flora by Gucci - it was the perfect winter perfume.

If anyone knows of similar perfumes, let me know.

LongTermLurker · 14/12/2023 08:07

Patchouli leaves by montale. I wear it sparingly as it's a bit of a beast, but I love getting the little puffs of warm, earthiness when my jumper moves around.

Shay & Blue Black Tulip. My go-to winter scent for socialising. A little plummy, a little chocolatey, it's one of the few gourmand scents I really enjoy.

M&S spicy sandalwood.

Crikeyalmighty · 14/12/2023 16:15

@MariaMeringue meant to say - I'm wearing that too- love it!!

SissySpacekAteMyHamster · 14/12/2023 16:21

Poets of Berlin, it came in my Liberty calendar and I love it. Will use sparingly as it is bloody expensive.

Byredo’s Animalique. I am a HUGE fragrance fiend and have many. I’m enjoying the dirtiness of this particular one. It makes me smile when I catch a whiff. I can be hit and miss with Byredo but I really like this one. My favourite by them is Blanche which is so far from my usual type of fragrance, but I can’t stop sniffing myself when I wear it.

My all-time favourites are Portrait of a Lady, Coco, and Obsession.

Lifeasiknowitisout · 14/12/2023 17:14

Today is by the fireplace (maison margiela) I actually bought it because I love PDM Althair and I was told they were similar. They both smell the same on my skin and by the fireplace is half the price of Althair

Will definitely be buying it again, I am goi f to get another bottle this year so I have plenty next autumn. Also going to purchase the Jazz club. And maybe one other. But waiting for some offers on Sephora.

I am also looking out for commodity milk and gold, bold versions. They are amazing too

Have you tried their vanille Antique. It’s on my list to try. Just wondered what you thought.

Charlieradioalphapapa · 14/12/2023 17:18

Penhaligans Halfeti. I treated myself to the smallest bottle as I’d always wanted some. The plus sides are that I only need the tiniest spray as it’s so powerful and it lasts all day. Downside is that it’s just too much even in the tiniest amount. I won’t repurchase as this will probably last me years at the rate I’m using it. I’ve fallen in love with Van Cleef & Arpel Precious Oud.

I haven’t, sorry. It’s one of the few I haven’t! I don’t usually pick up vanilla based scents.
