Need a new perfume for Christmas.

Don't like musky, heavy ones, do like light, sea-type or grassy or fruity ones.

LOATHE Angel. LOATHE LOATHE LOATHE. It makes me want to heave if I smell it on someone else.

Ahem. Have offended many of you, I'm sure

Please help me

What perfumes have you had in the past that you have liked ? Which ones apart from Angel do you also know you hate ?

Just getting your "perfume personality" worked out!

Pure Grace by Philosopy is very nice Hunker!

L'eau D'issey by Issey Miyake and Kenzo Flower

Jo Malone - anything - but Wild Fig & Cassis in particular!

I LOVE DKNY woman. I am dropping many hints to the bf that I need a new bottle for christmas! It's such a lovely smell, that every time I smell it on someone else I'm one step away from asking them what it is Duh!

chonky · 05/11/2005 09:31

Calyx by Prescriptives, I love it (really light and quite fruity smelling).

DH got me j'adore last xmas - it's lovely, his aunty also got me the pink one from next which is nice.

sadly my perfumes last for about 2 years so I don't get them often

expatinscotland · 05/11/2005 10:01

Par Amour, the new one from Clarins. I didn't think I'd like it, but it's very wearable, especially for daytime.

I love Miracle by Lancome..
Agree on Chanel Chance but also like Chanel Allure but maybe a heavy for you.

pindy · 05/11/2005 11:17

Sensi by Giorgio Armani is nice, also Miracle by Lancome and Pleasures by Estee Lauder

hunkermunker · 06/11/2005 21:28

Totally forgot I'd started this thread! LOL!

Thanks for the ideas - probably not a good plan to get a new perfume while pg as nose not normal as Pruni says

But will stash this away and get a new one in the new year

I like Lancome O "Oui" but don't relish the thought of going round smelling of wee!

Try Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarine, or Annick Goutal's Eau d'Hadrien or Eau du Sud.

Love DKNY too. And Eau de Givenchy.

FairyMum · 06/11/2005 21:39

I love the J Lo one. I can't remember the name. Is it 'Still'?

helsy · 06/11/2005 21:41

Happy by Clinique
Chance by Chanel
Cristalle by Chanel
Allure - you know who!
All fairly fresh and light.

aloha · 06/11/2005 21:42

I love Cristalle best - my absolute favourite. But also like the new Apple perfume by Donna Karan.

MrsSpoon · 06/11/2005 21:42

DKNY Delicious, nice fresh apple smell.
