Off on holiday tomorrow and routine dictates that I must purchase a new perfume from the airport.

I had tried and chosen CK Euphoria and it smells lovely on me but dh has said it smells like his mum Shock Obviously can't get that one now.

Does anyone know of a similar perfume that I can get? Or recommend a nice one?

I already have:

Stella Macartney
Stella Macartney Sheer
Clinique Happy, Happy Heart and Happy in Bloom
DKNY
JPG
Vera Wang Princess (not keen on this)
CK Eternity and Eternity Summer
Estee Lader Pleasures
Chanel Allure
Plus a few others that I can't remember.

I like Kate Moss Velvet Hour. I never buy perfume and actually bought another bottle after my Christmas present ran out! :)

JaxTellersOldLady · 24/08/2010 12:40

How about Ghost or Angel or Gucci.

I quite like the Prada perfume and tried the JPG summer one the other day, v nice.

ooh or Elle by YSL

Amanderrr · 24/08/2010 12:44

We have similar tastes as I have most of the perfumes you have. If you like Stella then you like rose based perfumes so try Valentino Rock and Rose and the new Estee Lauder Pleasures Bloom. Really pretty smell.

ShirleyKnot · 24/08/2010 12:45

I am Shock at the amount of perfume you have, you know it goes off right?

GeekOfTheWeek · 24/08/2010 13:00

I know it goes off but I just can't stop buying it Blush

It has its own drawer in the bathroom so lasts okay.

I want something that will smell nice at night on hols but that won't be too summery so I can wear it in winter too.

The euphoria still smells lovely after hours of wear which is what I wanted. Bloody mil!!

I love Marc Jacob's Lola
Really flowery

ShirleyKnot · 24/08/2010 13:21

I like Marc Jacob's Daisy. Flowery and I wear it all year round.

mamaloco · 24/08/2010 13:26

try very irresistible- givenchy.
Nice flowery, lasting nice smell as well.
always try on your skin before buying as some people make perfumes "turn"

cocolepew · 24/08/2010 13:30

Buy me Coco please.

Thanks.

Alibobster · 24/08/2010 13:47

Caroline Herrera 212 is gorgeous and also NYC from SJP is nice too, Clarins have a summer fragrance (don't know name sorry) and that's lovely too.

I love shopping for perfume at the airport, it's so exciting! Have a lovely holiday

GeekOfTheWeek · 24/08/2010 14:00

Thank you.

I have the clarins one! Its nice but doesn't last iyswim.

I like Daisy but it doesn't smell nice on me Confused

i have a few similar perfumes and also like chanel chance the light summer one eau fraiche (i think) or CKin2u.

collision · 24/08/2010 15:03

Am I the only one to think it is strange to have sooooo many perfumes?

I like to wear CK Euphoria and like the fact that some have said 'Your perfume is lovely and when I smell it on others it reminds me of you!'

Like a Signature scent........

NotFromConcentrate · 24/08/2010 15:41

I don't have any of the perfumes you have, GOTW, so my input is probably useless! However, my absolute faves ar Prada, YSL Elle Shocking, Estee Lauder Sensuous, ad the lovely new Sensuous Noir.

appy shopping, and hapy holidays! Grin

GeekOfTheWeek · 24/08/2010 16:55

I probably am strange Grin

I do have signature scents for work (the cliniques) and when I go out(JPG) but I do like a choice depending on my mood. I also think my perfumes evoke memories so I like to chop and change iyswim.

NFC, what is sensuous like after a few hours? It smells good in the bottle!

cornsillky · 24/08/2010 16:58

I wera Daisy but mine has run out. What's kenzo like?

NotFromConcentrate · 24/08/2010 18:20

GOTW, Sensuous smells lovely on the skin and stays beautiful almost all day and people often comment on how I stink smell Grin

If you're fond of that sort of scent, you'll love Sensuous Noir

lal123 · 24/08/2010 18:26

Not unusual to have so many perfumes - just thinking of what I have
Chance
Coco Madmoiselle (sp?)
Happy
Hugo Boss Orange
Issey Myake (Sp?)
DKNY
Euphoria
and some others at the back of the cupboard
