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

Hermes Elixir Des Merveuilles EDP. I love it so, so much.

@CaffiSaliMali

My favourite is Midnight Poison by Dior but sadly it was discontinued years ago. I wore it religiously at Uni.

I now wear:
Pure Poison
Flowerbomb
Olympea
Be Delicious
Golden delicious

In my youth I was partial to Cinéma, Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely and Versace Red Jeans. I always wanted - but have never bought - Glow by JLo and Vera Wang's Princess. Curious by Britney Spears was popular at school but didn't suit me at all. Showing my age here I suspect Grin

I suspect you are probably around the same age as me! All very familiar ones from my youth!

Lots of votes for flowerbomb, I'm not keen however my OH wears spicebomb which I love!

I forgot to mention other favourites... I always liked Angel and Alien from Thierry Mugler but I think they often really divide opinion Grin

Mitsouko by Guerlain.

There are 3 of us already on this thread, I'm amazed!

LunaNorth · 29/10/2020 17:43

JLo Glow is lovely and cheap as chips.

ifIwerenotanandroid · 29/10/2020 17:50

Terre d'Hermes.

It's made for blokes but lots of women wear it. I love deep, woody perfumes, & it's gorgeous.

NorbertMeubles · 29/10/2020 17:52

Dior Dune
Lancome Tresor
Estee Lauder Beautiful
Chanel Cristalle

Ooh! Has anyone tried this & Terre? Can you tell me how they compare? Can't get to any shops to try it.
OnceUponAMidnightBeery · 29/10/2020 17:54

Guerlain Shalimar. Most others smell like washing powder on me but lush on other people ☹️

OhToBeASeahorse · 29/10/2020 17:54

I have 3 for different occasions:
Ghost (the original one)
Zizonia by Penhaligon
Coromandel by Chanel (it's part of the Les Exclusiv range)

Charlotte Tilbury - Scent of a dream

YSL - Libre

Narcisso Rodriguez - For Her (black bottle)

ImFree2doasiwant · 29/10/2020 18:02

@Babymamma192 I was bought a bottle of libre, went into a shop to do a sniff test, and didn't like it. Don't suppose you want to buy it at a reduced rate? It's still sealed in the packaging. (Sorry if that's not allowed.....)

notafanoftheman · 29/10/2020 18:04

Try Santal 33.

LEELULUMPKIN · 29/10/2020 18:07

Chanel Allure and Chance.

Calvin Klein Obsession (as a pp has said, the original not the new one)

Elizabeth Taylor Passion

notafanoftheman · 29/10/2020 18:08

The bloke in the Terre d’Hermès ad is my mate’s brother Grin

DidgeDoolittle · 29/10/2020 18:09

I have worn Mitsouko for years. I absolutely love it.

MaudHatter · 29/10/2020 18:11

I like Black Orchid , Coco and L’eau d’ issey and JPaul Gautier for going out .

Blackberrycream · 29/10/2020 18:15

Mitsouko for me as well.

willstarttomorrow · 29/10/2020 18:16

The Elizabeth Arden Green Tea perfumes are lovely for a cheap, every day perfume. I always have one in my desk and colleagues are happy to use it.

SeptemberAlexandra · 29/10/2020 18:17

Coco Chanel
Good Girl
Obsession ( Original, can still get online )
Eternity
Gucci Rush
Ghost Deep Night
YSL Libre is lovely but doesn’t last well, same as for Hugo Boss Orange and Hugo Boss Noir.

Ghost deep night
