I know it smells different on everyone but, have you smelt a perfume recently you really loved?

I usually stick to all the Armanis as I get loads of compliments but, I feel like a change. Im going abroad next week so thought Id treat myself at the airport.

I love Armani code, but you've probably tried that?

I bought the orange Hugo Boss the other week, and have had lots of comments about it. It's a nice light smell for the warm weather, but it lasts all day. I can still slightly smell mine now and it's been on since 8am!

Chanel Chance eau Fraiche - lovely and summery.

HappyAsIAm · 04/05/2011 09:31

I've just bought Chloe (the original one) after having a tester of it in last month's Red. Love it. Light, floral, summery.

CK Euphoria

madammecholet · 04/05/2011 14:33

Chanel No.5 have bought out an updated 'fresher' lighter version which I had a squib of last week and it was really good.

Go and test out a few before you head off, then you will be sure when you are in duty free............

Pinkjenny · 04/05/2011 14:35

Naughty Alice by Vivienne Westwood is lovely. Slightly juvenile name, perhaps.

DKNY Be Delicious in Green Apple is nice too.

sweetheart · 04/05/2011 15:59

second Chloe here - I also love the original Ghost as I find it really fresh. My fav evening scent at the moment is Fleur by Gucci.

LouMacca · 04/05/2011 16:16

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is erm lovely!!

kitkatya · 04/05/2011 17:30

I tried afew Chanel ones last week. It's amazing the memories that some perfumes evoke! It's true, alot of the new ones seem to be aimed at teenagers. Do you reckon they are an cheaper in duty free?

AutumnWitch · 04/05/2011 18:14

current faves are Flowerbomb - Vicktor and Rolf, Gucci by Gucci and Jasmin Noir - Bvlgari.

I can't seem to get into light summer scents

polyhymnia · 04/05/2011 18:31

if I were going someone Mediterranean-y - don't know if you are - would go for Dior Escale a Portofino or Annick Goutal Eau du Sud, I think. First one citruss-y, the second citrus, herbs, and fig.

kitkatya · 04/05/2011 19:57

I want something for those balmy nights!

ENormaSnob · 05/05/2011 20:25

Clinique Happy in Bloom.

DKNY Be Delicious (the green apple one)

Estee Lauder Pleasures.

ongakgak · 05/05/2011 20:27

I just got Lancome L'Orangerie and it is so lovely, makes me feel like I am skipping through a summer meadow in a gauzy dress.

It is sort of light and fresh but then has a more heady note that makes me feel like that I would wear it in the eve and feel good.

I think it is quite rare, I bought it in France rather in duty free.

I really like Prada- Iris and Prada Ambre too.

kitkatya · 05/05/2011 20:35

Ive never tried any Prada before. I tried Armani Code today and, I can still smell it.

Stella McCartney. I always get compliments when I wear any of her scents. She has a new summer fragrance called 'Sheer' (I think).

CDMforever · 05/05/2011 20:41

Thierry Mugler's Angel is my all time fave holiday whiff.
I wore it on honeymoon ten years ago and haven't been abroad since, boo hoo......
