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

Classique or La Belle by Jean Paul Gaultier
Vanilla and Anise or Orange Blossom by Jo Malone

MmeCamenbert · 29/10/2020 18:54

Chloe, I adore it!

TheSeedsOfADream · 29/10/2020 18:55

If your favourite is Black Orchid then you might like other spicy almost masculine and slightly chemical scents.

Tauer L'air du desert Marocain, Lonestar Memories and Lonesome Rider are stunning.

Chanel Coromandel

More mainstream spice would be original Opium, Shalimar or Samsara. All three are warm and wintry.

DuzzyFuck · 29/10/2020 18:55

Jo Malone Peony and and blush suede for going out.

Some Issey Miyake thing I got out of the bargain bin in duty free for every day.

I love Black opium and Angel - but haven't owned any angel for years Sad

Today I'm wearing Marc Jacobs Daisy love

J’adore my all time favourite floral

tillytoodles1 · 29/10/2020 19:01

Eternity by Calvin Kein for day and Chance by Chanel for evenings.

waitrosetrollydolly · 29/10/2020 19:01

Murmur van cleef and arples

Elphame · 29/10/2020 19:02

First by Van Cleef and Arpels.

I keep trying others but always go back to it. It's the one I'm always asked about when I wear it and I've converted several other people!

Fuggly · 29/10/2020 19:06

I used to have loads of bottles but in the last 5 years have narrowed it down to...
Chanel Chance Eau fraiche or Eau tendre for daytime
Chanel No. 19 Poudre for evening.

It does make life a lot easier only having a few!

Guerlain - le petite robe noir

Iwantmychairback · 29/10/2020 19:13

Alien has to be my favourite.
Always get complimented on it

Whatisgoingonhere · 29/10/2020 19:13

Oh I love perfume but get the sneezes with most types, so have had to find hypoallergenic fragrances.

I love Boston Ellis Myth, nice fresh scent!

I have the discovery set of Juliette Has A Gun, love Vanilla Vibes and Sunny Side Up. It comes with a base scent of Not A Perfume, spray that on first and then choose the top (?) scent. Good range!

Whatisgoingonhere · 29/10/2020 19:15

Or even, Ellis Brooklyn Blush, always get the name wrong!!

Okbye · 29/10/2020 19:17

My favourites are:

Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture (number one favourite!)
Mon Guerlain by Guerlain
Herba Fresca by Guerlain
Black Tulip by Shay and Blue
Gucci Rush
Gucci Envy Me
Chance by Chanel
Grin

Spied · 29/10/2020 19:17

Angel
I also love Lancome Miracle

BeardyButton · 29/10/2020 19:25

Aqua di parma Iris Nobile
Coco Chanel - always get complemented on this. It is a winter scent for me though. Been looking for sonething lighter for summer, but everything light smelks soapy on me.

Thankssomuch · 29/10/2020 19:28

The one that I wear now and that gets comments is Opium by YSL (the original one in the gold coloured packaging).
