To ask for your favourite perfume?

[Vari757]

looking for some inspiration. Ideally something a bit different. Also if I get some Christmas present inspiration for DM/MIL then that would be ideal 😁
Right now I wear Tom Ford Black Orchid

Mine is called Lolita Lempicka - it seems to be sold online only now though

Chanel Allure

Chanel Number 5. Not different but .... the best

Pure poison 🥰

YSL Elle

Most from Bulgari, not the rose one though

YABU

I like most by Marc Jacobs

Always has been Eternity By Calvin Klein, as well as Escape.

I like coco madmoisselle (sp?) and Gucci bamboo. At the minute times are tough and I'm wearing new look blush. Also like Hugo boss deep red

Oh I've never heard of that one!

Others that I've liked have been gucci out but I remember wearing things like DKNY be delicious and Ghost in my teens... I've went from preferring light to heavy in my old age

Obsession (I buy vintage from eBay, not the new one).
Narciso Rodriguez Poudree
Molecule 01
Gigi
Penhaligon’s Bluebell
Jo Malone Red Roses
Vivienne Westwood Boudoir (now sadly discontinued).

I'm old and I wear Philosophy Amazing Grace Magnolia.

I don't really like the normal Amazing Grace but the Magnolia version is lovely.

Just Pink from Next! I have cheap taste apparently but it's really nice - quite subtle.

Atkinsons the other side of oud
Robert piguet nuit velour
Laurent mazonne scandinavian crime

Neroli & Orchidee by L’Occitane.

Ghost sweetheart or iridiscent (which I clearly can’t spell 🙄🙄🙄)

Ghost deep night is heavier than the other ones I mentioned.

At the moment I'm wearing Estee Lauder beautiful belle. I'm not sure it's my favourite though.
I think my favourite ever is Dior Addict. The original in the blue bottle.

Going out- Daisy- Marc Jacobs
Lighter daytime D&G- Blue (actually get stopped to ask what Im wearing with this!)
and M&S amazing Seasalt & Freesia

My actual favourite is no longer available here, and when I found it online it was a knock off 🤦‍♀️ So, some that I like,

Chanel -No 19, Allure, Chance,
Cartier Homage
Lancôme Tresor

I often wear black orchid in the evening.

For day I like Atelier Bloem Extraordinary Tulip.

Love by Chloe - only wear for nights out it special occasions. It’s lovely but heavy.

Eau Dynamisante by clarins for everyday use.

I’m also a big fan of Jo Malone colognes - currently have English oak & hazelnut and honeysuckle & davana

I was given samples of ysl libre and its gorgeous! I usually go for quite floral perfumes but this one is a bit more mature and smells amazing! Gonna buy a big bottle of it ASAP

Some sites (www.basenotes.net www.fragrantica.com) allow you to look at similar fragrances to the ones you like, preferred top note and so on. Given how subjective fragrances are (signals to MHC, immune genetics and mate selection), I've found this useful.
