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

I love many but if I absolutely had to choose one it would be Jo Malone Wild Bluebell.

GracieLouFreebushh · 29/10/2020 20:36

Your younger tastes are similar to mine! I also love hypnotic poison, alien and jo malone midnight musk and amber

CurlsandCurves · 29/10/2020 20:37

Tom Ford Noir is my fave, along with Cerruti 1881.

For daytime I wear Define by Next. Really cheap and I always get compliments on it.

sukieinthegraveyard · 29/10/2020 20:40

Prada La Femme l’eau - love this; so soft smelling, wear it every day
Agent Provocateur- old favourite for a special night out; very sensual perfume
Love Chanel Gabrielle and Allure also

Twospaniels · 29/10/2020 20:42

Ma Vie by Hugo Boss

There are others I like, but this is my favourite at the moment.

Twinkie01 · 29/10/2020 20:42

La Panthere by Cartier is very nice.

musicnotesand · 29/10/2020 20:42

Miss Dior or Alien are my faves!

UpTheRhineWithoutAPaddle · 29/10/2020 20:43

Another L'eau d'Issey by Issey Miyake fan here. It's one of the few perfumes that don't give me a headache.

NewCatMummy · 29/10/2020 20:44

@Tunnocks34

Mine is called Lolita Lempicka - it seems to be sold online only now though
I adore this! The perfume parlour dupe is pretty good
Krazynights34 · 29/10/2020 20:54

My absolute favourite is a Kilian perfume that was a gift from my mum - v v pricey but it’s ruined all other perfumes for me. It’s Flower of Immortality.

I also used to like Boss Deep Red
Balenchiaga (green bottle)
Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir and Cologne 154
Elle the gold one mentioned above by Armani

I’d like to find another perfume though

Purpleice · 29/10/2020 21:00

Origins Ginger
Jo Malone Lime Blossom (haven’t worn it for years)
Olifactory studio Panorama
4160 Sexyist scent ever (imho)

Purpledaisychain · 29/10/2020 21:01

Daisy - Marc Jacobs

Genevieva · 29/10/2020 21:06

Most perfumes give me migraines, but I love 4711. You can slosh it on after a shower because it is eau do cologne and it smells really clean. Love it. Plus it has been in production for over 200 years, so no chance of it being discontinued. That happened to my favourite lipstick and I have never quite got over it.

rainbowunicorn · 29/10/2020 21:11

Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum

FastFood · 29/10/2020 21:13

Vanille 44, Santal 33 and Rose 31 by Le Labo
Hinoki and Sugi by Monocle x Comme des Garçons
Shanti Shanti and Spiritus Land by Miller et Bertaux
Fleur de Portofino by Tom Ford
Sun by Jill Sander

Laughingcrow · 29/10/2020 21:17

Versace black diamond

bluebellation · 29/10/2020 21:18

YSL Libre Intense is my new favourite. Very warm, maybe a little heavy for daytime, but gorgeous for winter.

AuntyMabelandPippin · 29/10/2020 21:23

I used to wear Chanel's Cristalle, but can rarely find it these days.

Nowadays I wear Jo Malone's Grapefruit or Lime Basil and Mandarin. Light scents are much nicer on me.

fishonabicycle · 29/10/2020 21:23

I tend to wear different ones at different times of year:
Winter is bottega veneta, or Jo Malone blackberry and bay or Prada iris.
Summer is creed virgin island water, or issey miyake sunrise.

Any time is Gucci envy (knock off), Balmain Ivoire, CKin2U.

JamieFrasersSassenach · 29/10/2020 21:23

Loving this thread - seeing loads of 'old favourites' that I haven't worn in years - particularly Paloma Picasso - I used to always have a bottle of that.

Currently my faves for going out are:

Chanel no 5
Molecule 01
Balenciaga

My everyday (and I don't feel dressed without it on) is Cerruti 1881

ouchmyfeet · 29/10/2020 21:25

@notafanoftheman

Try Santal 33.
Noooo. Don't do this, it smells like wee
ifiwasascent · 29/10/2020 21:26

Chanel chance (green)
Jo malone English pear and freesia

OffToHagrids · 29/10/2020 21:39

I’m also looking, but it’s difficult to find a fragrance I love. My favourite for a few years has been Gucci by Gucci but apparently it’s now discontinued so I’m currently using Chanel Allure.
I tried Jo Malone Lime, Basil, Mandarin but quickly grew to dislike it.
A friend wears Tom Ford’s Black Orchid and she smells fabulous but I hated it on me.
I’ll keep looking.

81Byerley · 29/10/2020 21:40

Fidji by Guy Laroche.

Erictheavocado · 29/10/2020 21:40

L'Occitane used to make a glorious honey and vanilla perfume. It was warm and sensuous. I adored it and was broken hearted when they discontinued it. I now wear Insolence by Guerlain. Always get compliments when I wear it.
