I need a new one but i get confused so easily! After a few sniffs I think I likle something then buy it bring it home but at home, away from the sensory assault of the pefrume counters I doont like it anymore.

I love Gucci ENVY but they dont make it anymore,

i like prescriptives calyx too

I suppose I like nice floral but not too sweet smells

I havent liked
Issy myake
DAISY

-stella mccartney -Lily (old lady smell)

  • Jo malone that dark peppery one everyone loves - awful on me!
- Tom Forde - white patchouli -(actually anything with patchouli ) ugh again stank on me!

Try Jo Malone Vetiver. It succeeds where other "Vetiver" scents fail. Lovely. If you like Calyx, I think you will like this.

Tranquilidade · 28/05/2012 22:51

I'm not very good at defining scents either but my current favourites are Elie Saab, Jimmy Choo and Rihanna Reb'l Fleur.

SkinnyVanillaLatte · 28/05/2012 22:56

Two that always remind me of Summer are Sunflowers and Eau Dynamisante.

teejwood · 28/05/2012 23:17

This is my go-to this year. Love it love it love it

MumblingFanjoChops · 28/05/2012 23:36

Jimmy Choo, Vivienne Westwood has a range of Alice perfumes I think you might like Cheeky Alice,Naughty Alice, also might be worth sniffing Boudoir Jouy which is another one of hers.

I love Jo Malone Nectarine and Honey for summer, and the new Marc Jacobs Kumquat is lovely as well.

whitelillies · 29/05/2012 08:13

Great - thanks for the suggestions, off to sniff them out (hur hurGrin)

I love Calyx too although i've been wearing DKNY Be delicious for the last couple of years as it's easier to buy in duty-free shops.Annick Goutal perfumes are also lovely [eau de Hadrian is lemony/citrussy] and there are several others that smell lovely on.Clinique Happy is another good one.

ninjanurse · 29/05/2012 10:41

I like Hugo Boss Orange and Sarah Jessica Parker NYC for the summer.

LimeLeafLizard · 29/05/2012 10:47

I am wearing Jo Malone Nectarine and Honey too!

It seems to fade really quickly though - anyone else noticed this with Jo Malone?

loobeylou2012 · 29/05/2012 10:48

BluII BY Bulgari - clemantine and light floral, seccond Eau de Hadrian by Goutal, Aqua Allegoria range by Guerlain? My favourint is pamplelune - grapefruit and burgamot I think, but the whole range are lovely summery fragrances. Also, some House of Frasers have Gucci envy left in stock still Smile

Walnut8 · 29/05/2012 11:18

I like Jo malone scents but agree with Limeleaf - they just don't last.

My summer fave is Prada Iris (soapy clean smell).

Walnut8 · 29/05/2012 11:19

Oh yeah, the blue and the green bottle Bvulgari as well! And narciso rodriguez for her.

Chicinwellies · 29/05/2012 12:08

Prada Iris for me, and also Jo Malone any!

Lorelilee · 29/05/2012 12:35

I completely agree with Lime and Walnut. I used to wear Jo Malone Grapefruit, which I still totally love. However, I cannot justify the expenditure on a scent which just doesn't last. Am constantly on lookout for a smelly-likey that does.

oohermrs · 29/05/2012 12:38

Chanel Chance I get comments on how nice I smell quite a lot Smile

Ishoes · 29/05/2012 12:50

Beautiful,pleasures or white linen-estee lauder-love them.

BobbiFleckman · 29/05/2012 12:52

Jo Malone nectarine & honey body lotion has a very long lasting scent so maybe it's a more cost effective / double function bang for your buck? (I can still smell my legs RIGHT NOW)

cahu · 29/05/2012 19:06

D&G Light Blue, Versace Bright Crystal both fresh, clean and gorgeous.... And Creed Love in White, so lovely and so £££££.

mrsebojones · 29/05/2012 19:37

Clinique happy heart
Chanel Chance

maudpringle · 29/05/2012 20:33

I am wearing Flowerbomb by Victor and Rolf - it's lovely for the summer

doinmummy · 30/05/2012 00:33

I buy M&S Isis. Nice and cheap and lovely and fresh for summer.

PineCones · 30/05/2012 01:16

Escale a Portofino by Dior.
Summer in a bottle

MrsEdinburgh · 30/05/2012 12:32

Liz Earle Botanical Essence No1 is lovely.
