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?

ALL perfume within about 10 mins of wearing it smells rank on me.

Yellow Diamond, Versace

Diptyque Philosykos or Maison Margiela Replica - Lazy Sunday Morning

I got a sample of Chanel bois des iles a couple of years ago. Its just lovely. But I can't justify the eye watering expense of it.

RosesAndHellebores · 05/05/2021 17:19

Mon Guerlain
Cartier Panthere
Estee Modern Muse eau de Parfum

I tried Estee's new Magnolia last week and it is very very nice - so I bought a bottle :)

I have really missed trying perfume testers during the pandemic.

Insolence by Guerlain. It's quite an old-fashioned, floral scent but I love it and always get compliments when I wear it. It is expensive, so I rely on birthday money to keep me sticked up. When I win the lottery I am going to buy a personalised bottle. here

Whammyyammy · 05/05/2021 17:36

mademoiselle by chanel coco

SOLINVICTUS · 05/05/2021 17:37

I have 200 Blush (but I never buy shoes Grin) but if I had to choose one, it would be Chanel 19.

FangsForTheMemory · 05/05/2021 17:39

I love original La Vie Est Belle. Also O de Lancome and Ghost.

Glitterblue · 05/05/2021 17:39

Chanel Coco
Chanel No 5 (can't afford these any more!)
Georgio G
Burberry Body Tender
Cerutti 1881

Juliette has a gun, not a perfume.
I’ve been wearing Marc Jacob’s daisy recently too, which I hated when it first came out, but love it now.

MrsClatterbuck · 05/05/2021 17:41

Vivienne Westwood Cheeky Alice
Marc Jacob's Any of the Daisy scents
Marc Jacobs Perfect (love the bottle)

Jo Malone pomegranate noir

Nonbio46 · 05/05/2021 17:52

Well, I love the regular La vie est belle but I will have to seek out the one you have too. Idole by Lancôme is gorgeous too. Xx

sleepylittlebunnies · 05/05/2021 17:55

Thierry Mugler Angel, been wearing it on and off since it was released. Also love Cerutti 1881 for everyday wear.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/05/2021 17:57

My all time favourite is Marche aux Fleurs, from Fragonard. I have to order it from them in Grasse, because nowhere in the UK stocks it, but it is worth it.

For every day, I like Clarins Eau Ressourcante.

Carriemac · 05/05/2021 18:04

Diva by Ungaro . Sadly not made anymore .

tinkletinklelittlestar · 05/05/2021 18:14

Quite a few favourites for me and always Eau de Parfum not Eau de Toilette - seems to last longer as a bit more oil is used (i think). Interesting seeing what everyone else likes.

Gucci Rush - have liked this for a loooong time and introduced others to it
Chanel Allure - try finding the purse spray can’t justify the price
Armani Si - love this so much and miraculously get a bottle every year for one of the important days
Sarah Jessica Parker - Lovely - instantly liked this when it came out (don’t like celeb ones normally) and quite vintagey to me
Jean Paul Gaultier - Classique - sucker for a nice bottle and love the scent too
Viktor and Rolf - Flowerbomb - impulse buy on holiday and another that others have bought too

I miss trying them in shops Sad

Fuggly · 05/05/2021 18:19

Chanel No 19 Poudre
Chanel Chance eau fraiche ( the green one)
Chanel Chance eau tendre ( the pink one)

SollaSollew · 05/05/2021 18:26

Byredo Blanche is my absolute favourite but Bal d’Afrique is a very close second

Spanglybangles · 05/05/2021 18:30

Tom Ford - Black Orchid or Velvet Orchid
Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle
Viktor and Rolf - Flowerbomb
Gucci - Bamboo

Daisychainsandglitter · 05/05/2021 18:38

Stella
I've also recently discovered M&S nectar and jasmine perfume which smells lovely and is cheap enough for every day use.

Iamnotminterested · 05/05/2021 18:38

@HopingForOurRainbowBaby

I LOVE Thierry Mugler's Angel...on other people Sad you have my sympathies,as it smells like cat piss on me.

I wear Estee Lauder Passions, proper Old Skool!

Tom Ford Lost Cherry
