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 or Angel.

Jellyrollgumdrop · 05/07/2012 14:06

The summer Daisy, eau so fresh love it

Brawhen · 05/07/2012 14:06

Anais Anais

Am sure it is not posh/trendy enough to admit to, but a beloved Aunt wore this when I was a child and I will always wear it for ever.

AlpinePony · 05/07/2012 14:06

L'Occitane's neroli.

JulesJules · 05/07/2012 14:13

Mitsouko by Guerlain, which I have worn for over 20 years.

Before that it was Chanel 19 and Cabochard.

Estee Lauder - Beautiful sheer, it reminds me of happy things everytime I smell it.

Ricci Ricci is lovely. I wear perfume even if just around the house, the last couple of years I have been wearing Stella and Estee Lauder Sensual a lot, and sometimes I fancy a change, spend ages browsing but always come back to Ricci Ricci as my favourite. Very pretty bottle too.

Losingitall · 05/07/2012 14:21

OP I have an old half empty bottle of Samsara that I can't bring myself to use as my late father bought it for me. Nice memory tho not sad.

My only wear one would be Clinique Happy

WestWinger · 05/07/2012 14:29

Chanel no. 5 or Coco.

PiedWagtail · 05/07/2012 14:31

Ralph Lauren Romance
D&G Feminine
Organza
D&g The One
D&G 18 la lune

but my all time fav is Fendi. Reminds me of my youth :)

harbingerofdoom · 05/07/2012 14:32

JJ cabochard has really changed. Still got some of the lovely 'old' version in the black/white packaging.

DontstepontheMomeRaths · 05/07/2012 14:33

L'Occitane Pivoine Flora

Love it. Fresh and natural.

HipHopOpotomus · 05/07/2012 14:33

LeMousquetaireAnonyme oooh hello - we are in a v exclusive club. I am actually friends with someone who is also a fan. We connected over the perfume! Smile

The Shiseido version is like hens teeth to find. DP discovered that the perfume designer - Serge Lutens - himself has now made it & brought me some of his - even better that Shiseido possibly? It is available at Amazon though I'm sure it can be found for cheaper. I think DP got mine from Harrods Grin

Saw Juliette has a Gun - Lady Vengeance- in John Lewis and loved the name! Bought it in their end-of-range sale for £20. Now love it and would wear all the time but it's so hard to get and costs about £70....Sad

bronze · 05/07/2012 14:36

Probably very Valentino
Though I did get given a cheapish bottle of something flower scented (magnolia) that was surprisingly gorgeous and I would have loved to have more of it

efffy · 05/07/2012 14:40

Ysl Elle - just lovely

JeremyKylesPetProject · 05/07/2012 14:46

Narciso Rodriguez - Her. Beautiful.

hectorthestandbyhawk · 05/07/2012 14:47

Clinique Elixir Eau de Parfum has been the only perfume I've stuck with and not tired of. I bought it years ago when I read an interview with Nadia Sawalha who said that men will find you irresistible if you wear it. I haven't found that to the case but I like it.

mamalovebird · 05/07/2012 14:59

Narciso Rodriguez - the black bottle. My old boss used to wear it and I always used to wonder what it was. Came across it by accident in Boots so bought a bottle and have requested it every christmas from DH been hooked ever since.

2nd place goes to Jennifer Lopez - Deseo. I never thought I'd ever like a celebrity perfume but this one is lovely.

LeMousquetaireAnonyme · 05/07/2012 14:59

Hip Serge Lutens, you say? It would have to be a very special present!
Very exclusive and ladies of taste obviously!

hattymattie · 05/07/2012 15:03

Chanel Chance - (I keep sniffing my wrists when I'm wearing it).

Msarsebiscuit · 05/07/2012 15:06

Well I never knew that Serge Lutens designed Feminite du Bois, it was my evening perfume for a long time and I have half a bottle ( which is so old it will have gone off ) in a cupboard somewhere.

Tricky to pick only one perfume for the rest of my days but it would have to be either Philosykos, Hermes Un Jardin en Méditerranée or Giorgio Armani Cuir Amethyste.

southlundon · 05/07/2012 15:07

Chanel Allure. I've been wearing the same Jo Malone scent for the past 2 years I treated myself to but they've discontinued it sob

softpaw · 05/07/2012 15:10

Estee Lauder White Linen..it's just gorgeous. I wear Chanel 19,and Calvin Klein Eternity,but White Linen wins.
