If you could only wear one perfume for the rest of your life....

Inspired by replies on another thread-

I LOVE perfume-never leave the house without it.

I am attracted to very strong musky or woodsy smells.

At the moment I have-

Boudoir
Knowing
Agent provacateur
Naughty alice
Samsara
Mitsouko

But if I could only wear one perfume for the rest of my life it would definately be.......Samsara!!

What is your forever perfume?

Coco Chanel.

But just one would be very hard.
I need different perfumes for different moods, occasions and times of the year.

I adore perfume.

Pomegranate Noir or Roses by jo Malone

missmartha · 05/07/2012 12:14

Just one.....?

Mitsouko. x

Another one with Chanel Allure. It's my (ponce alert) signature scent.
I've tried to go to Marc Jacobs Disy and Chanel Chance but I always fall back to Allure.

I have used Chamade by Guerlain for 38 years .
I do like Chanel 19 and Samsara too, but Chamade is my favourite.

Annick Goutal Eau d'Hadrien - never cloying.

vic1981 · 05/07/2012 12:32

Philosykos (Diptyque) or Lime basil mandarin (Jo Malone). It's a tie...

lookout · 05/07/2012 12:41

Givenchy Organza, best as a body lotion. Love it so much.

Hormonalhell · 05/07/2012 12:42

Carolina Herrera VIP (gold bottle)

Love it.....but before that was Euphoria by Calvin Klein

KenHomsDadsWoksDead · 05/07/2012 12:43

Gucci II - it smells like raspberries

or Shalimar, but it costs too much, and doesn't smell nice until it's been on for a couple of hours.

Yama · 05/07/2012 12:44

The Clarins orangey one. Very fresh.

itdidntworkout · 05/07/2012 12:46

Coco Chanel.

Sometimesiwonder · 05/07/2012 12:48

L'Occitane Pivoine Flora - flowery and green at the same time. Just lurvly.

pinkmagic1 · 05/07/2012 12:49

Dior addict or Obssesion

thebestisyettocome · 05/07/2012 12:53

Amarige by Givency.

I've worn it since being a teenager and I'm constantly asked what it is I'm wearing.

Dropdeadfred · 05/07/2012 12:53

Coco by chanel

rockinhippy · 05/07/2012 12:54

Evening - Chanel No 5 all the way :)

Daytime - Kenzo Flowers - Spring

FireOverBabylon · 05/07/2012 12:55

I love fresh summery scents, a lot of the stronger perfumes have a strong note in them which gives me an instant headache so it took years to find some decent ones but I'd go for

Issey Miyake
Chanel - Chance Fraiche
Play - Givenchy (actually a men's aftershave but a wonderful orangey scent)

ShoeJunkie · 05/07/2012 12:56

Coco mademoiselle or Lola by Marc Jacobs.

sweetheart · 05/07/2012 12:58

Mine would probably be Ghost - the original one.

sweetheart · 05/07/2012 12:58

or maybe Miracle by Lancome
