Looking for a nice smelling perfume, not over powerful, just clean fresh nice long lasting.

I love Elizabeth Arden Green Tea. It’s surprisingly affordable. I’ve spent a fortune on different perfumes and love this more than anything

I quite like the Jo Malone range, especially the blackberry one, but I haven't found them long lasting unfortunately

I love the DKNY perfumes and Clinique Happy Heart. Also Kenzo Flower but it’s more expensive.

Interested in this thread?

I've just bought a bottle of Chanel Gabrielle L'Eau. It's a really nice every day perfume without the usual heavy Chanel notes. I'm very impressed.

The Marc Jacobs Daisy ones are nice.

Miss Dior is lovely. Wore it on my wedding day.

I love prada paradox, I’m on my third bottle! I always get asked what I’m wearing when I have it on! So fresh and flowery, so gorgeous!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Love is my everyday perfume. I love it.

I have 3 on the go just now..for good decadence by Marc jacobs (was a gift just over a year ago from my best friend 200ml) its very strong so only a couple of sprays needed and still mostly full, its gorgeous.

Semi good and used often is armani diamonds, its really nice and flowery (was standing in the queue at the very first bludfest and some woman sniffed my neck and said it was divine 😬 😆)

Ted Baker for everyday..polly its called, quite flowery and nice. Really quite cheap too.

Can you still get aqua di gio for women? I loved that in the 90s.

I love Green Tea - it doesn't last well on me unfortunately but at least with Elizabeth Arden you can order small sizes to start with and try a few out.

Goldfield and Banks Bohemian Lime

I like Green Tea too. Wear it a lot in summer.

Caroline Herrera Good Girl

Missj25 · 01/03/2026 20:56

I wear Caroline Herrera Good Girl by day , & YSL Libre for good wear .

I quite like Daisy Wild, it settles in quite nicely and isn’t over bearing. I’ve just been gifted Loewe 001 and my god it’s delicious, seems quite strong initially but then simmers down and lingers more softly - genuinely obsessed with it.

That’s not much to go on. Try the perfumes in Zara and see if you like any. Or send off for some sample sets.
