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?

I counted the other day and have 12 on the go. But all time fave's are:

  • Scherzo by Miller Harris
  • Good Girl by Carolina Herrera
  • SS21 by Ffern (hated it at first, but now I love it)
  • Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier but they changed the formula when they changed the bottle to the red corset and it's just not the same anymore 😔

M&S Freesia & Seasalt. It’s just gorgeous and cheap so I can squirt it everywhere.

Tom Ford Lost Cherry
Oh god me too. I got a sample and I just love it, but I can't bear the thought of paying for a whole bottle so I'm trying to eke out the sample for as long as I can! I adore it.

Atkinson's Pirate's Grand Reserve...

More an Autumn/Winter perfume...it smells like rum, spices, tobacco, leather and cashmere. Which sounds weird but it's like a great big cosy hug from the best night out of your life.

Love that too Freesia and Seasalt. Gorgeous. Sunflowers v nice too Elizabeth Arden.

Never worn anything other than Chanel No 5.

@Pedalpushers

Baccarat Rouge as well, although I buy Cloud by Ariana Grande as a cheap copy...
Is the Ariana Grande a good dupe? Really could do with a more purse friendly favourite!

Chanel Gardenia or Estee Lauder knowing

PatsyStone39 · 05/05/2021 20:16

My favourite is Creed - Love in white - but I have several close contenders. I love Chloe, Estee Lauder - Bronze Goddess, Mugler - Alien and Angel Innocent, Gucci Rush II, Lanvin - L'aperge....

God, i could go on forever. I've got about 200 bottles...it's obscene.

PatsyStone39 · 05/05/2021 20:19

@thecognoscenti I bought a cheap dupe of Lost Cherry and it's lovely. It's from deja vu scents and it's called Chergui.

Have worn Chanel 19 for years but have just discovered Floris 1988 which is gorgeous.

Twospaniels · 05/05/2021 20:29

Hugo Boss Ma Vie
Absolutely love this. I don’t wear it every day. It reminds me of lovely holidays.

SOLINVICTUS · 05/05/2021 20:38

@Carriemac, you can still get Diva. Notino stock it, and I think Allbeauty do. It's one of my best friend's favourites.

ghostyslovesheets · 05/05/2021 20:39

Amber Musk - Estee Lauder Aeirn

Bronze Goddess - Estee Lauder

newtb · 05/05/2021 20:41

MrsWarleggan · 05/05/2021 20:43

Calvin Klein - Truth
Calvin Klein - Contradiction
Ghost - Original

My all time favorite was D&G Feminine but they discontinued it. You can pick it up on Ebay for a few hundred quid though 🙄

Charlottejade89 · 05/05/2021 20:43

Forever and ever Dior is my ultimate fave but it is expensive so I only get it at Christmas. Also love viktor&rolf flowerbomb and Marc Jacobs daisy dream
