Got a refund for a cancelled holiday and spent a little bit of it on a perfume I’ve been eyeing up as a “sorry you aren’t going to Amsterdam” present to myself. It is Lancôme La VIe est Belle Soleil Cristal and it is Devine! My new favourite. What is your favourite perfume?

Tom Ford white patchouli

ShaaaaaalAhLah · 05/05/2021 16:28

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Mugler Alien & Jimmy Choo Eau De! both of the fragrances make heads turn

Shoxfordian · 05/05/2021 16:28

My favourite is Pure Poison by Dior

Champagneforeveryone · 05/05/2021 16:30

My absolute favourite is Jo Malone amber and lavender. It was supposed to be a mans fragrance but I adore it and it doesn't smell too manly on me.

Dior Poison
Aura by Mugler
La Vie Est Belle
Narcisso Rodriguez (original)

For anyone on FB, if you follow all of the big perfume brands (or beauty, designers, skincare brands etc), manage follow settings to allow offers, every so often they offer free samples of their new perfumes. I've had about 20 in the last 3-4 months. No postage or anything to pay. I've bought a couple off the back of receiving the samples too.
Today for example I received a mini bottle of Fenty Beauty (by Rhianna) foundation, a sample of YSL libre and a sample of Lady Million Smile

MyGrassIsBrowner · 05/05/2021 16:32

Balenciaga Florabotanica, J'adore Dior and Dolce & Gabanna Intense are my favs.

petalblossom · 05/05/2021 16:32

Love Angel too but have to be in the right mood.

Chanel No5
Chanel No19
Hermes Eau de Merveilles
Estée Lauder Bronze Goddess (the original only)
Gucci Mémoire D'une Odeur

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 05/05/2021 16:37

I ve recently bought Liz Earle no 15 and I love it! I’d run out of all perfume.

I also love the MN favourite Eau D’Iris, although I didn’t know it was MN favourite when I got it!

And agree Jo Malone is fab. I like Cucumber and Earl Grey.

YellowandGreenToBeSeen · 05/05/2021 16:37

(Those are the ones I’m never without - I have many many more!)

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 05/05/2021 16:38

Lime, Basil and Manderin vg too!

I do like Chanel No 5 but a close friend always wears it so I would feel I couldn’t if she was there - which is often!

Werewolfbarmitzvahs · 05/05/2021 16:39

Narciso Rodriguez for Her

Or

Anything from Laboritorio Olfattivo

ShowerOfShite · 05/05/2021 16:40

Christian Dior La Dolce Vita. Divine.

lovablequalities · 05/05/2021 16:40

Wood sage and sea salt by Jo Malone. I want them ALL!

I buy Jo Loves for work. The peony one at the moment.

fairislecable · 05/05/2021 16:42

Azuree Estée Lauder they changed the formula a few years ago and it’s not quite the same but I still love it.

24GinDrinkingOnceTheKidsInBed · 05/05/2021 16:42

Prada Candy or Marc Jacobs Daisy Love (either original or the Eu so sweet)

CauliflowerSneeze · 05/05/2021 16:45

Euphoria

Slowslowlavaflow · 05/05/2021 16:59

Ever since it was released in the early 90s, my mother has been wearing Amarige by Givenchy. I would wait for her to come home from work at dusk, lurking in the porch, peeking out every so often. I could smell her several minutes before she popped round the corner, and it was pure joy for me anticipating her arrival once I could smell her approach. It is a strong scent, but eternally comforting.

Myself, I went for light, sweet, and simple with Nina Ricci's Luna edt. I will wear it as long as it is produced, and the scent does not change. It lingers for a long time and stains the skin with its scent really well for an edt.

GeminiRising · 05/05/2021 17:02

Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin is my favourite.

But I also love Ghost Sweetheart.

Defiantly41 · 05/05/2021 17:04

Commodity Mimosa (hardly ever in stock though)
Jo Malone English Oak & Hazlenut
Still pining for Ultima II Sheerscent ...

autumnkate · 05/05/2021 17:07

Another 13

It’s very earthy and sensual in a very expensive way 😆

breadfortea · 05/05/2021 17:09

santal 33 I am obsessed with it

Marmite27 · 05/05/2021 17:09
