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!

I used to like gucci envy too and was mad when they stopped doing it , I find the DKNY be delicious green one to be pretty similar.

I've just been commented on three times today wearing my new issy miyake floral. Love love love for summer

Flowerbomb, by Viktor&Rolf is very nice. And the Rose D'Angel by Thierry Mugler is one I love.

Clarins Eau des Jardins!

Eau Dynamisante by Clarins and Un Jardin sur le Nil by Hermes. Both so fresh and clean.

Do they not make Gucci Envy anymore?! I have one called Gucci Envy Me which is in a tall bottle with pink squares, do you mean that? I saw it on sale in the states only a couple of months ago, so even if it's not available here you can still get it.

I really like DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom at the moment. Really clean, sweet and fresh, not the most adventurous but perfect for summer :)

Thanks for all the suggestions. Have been sampling different ones :-)
Have found while they samell nice initally some get too sweet after wearing them a while, ( dng light blue) and some just disappear.( sadly Jo Malone)
And some just don't smell right on me at all!

EllenP they have stopped making Gucci envy yes :-((
Maybe someday they ll release it again

Am liking chloe edp in pink bottle There's a a lighter version of it too just released but it didn't last the evening whereas the pink bottle stayed the day and then some I also found it quite pleasant and dh commented that I smellled nice!

Have tried the new Gucci one but it was a bit heavy for me

Not a fan of Clinique happy or Isis on me ( sickly sweet after wearing for a bit )

Thanks again for all the suggestions.

Loving Philosykos by Dyptique at the moment, so summery (figs). Amazing staying power and def not run of the mill.
Can find it at Liberty, John Lewis, etc.
