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?

Sorry to hear that Harbinger. I hate it when they change them. Although fair enough if it's because of whales etc

GoranisGod · 05/07/2012 15:17

I am Grin that Samsara has gotten so many posters votes as I sometimes worry that it is seen as old fashioned nowadays.

You can buy the 50ml bottle in semi chem or bodycare for £26...

NIGELLA..i also wear Panache..you can still buy it in Boots and chemist shops.

SoleSource · 05/07/2012 15:31

Chanel No5

Eliza22 · 05/07/2012 15:34

Soft paw.... Didn't know they still made Panache. It was lovely. When I was 14 my 16 yr old sister got some for her birthday and it "became" HER. She seemed so much more grown up than me. I think at the time, I was still wearing Avon's "Pretty Peach"! Panache was sophistication itself, to me!

crazyaccountant · 05/07/2012 15:36

Mont Blanc - Presence
I have yet to find anyone else that wears it and always get complimented when I wear it, it is a very warm musky almost manly smell that really lingers so very unlike anything you can buy in boots so anyone on here ever heard of it or am I still managing to keep my exclusive, signature scent to myself Wink

SmellyFartado · 05/07/2012 15:37

Coco Chanel is def my all time favourite but am LOVING Roberto Cavalli's one at the moment - 'tis fab - u- lous!

cocolepew · 05/07/2012 15:41

swiftybaby · 05/07/2012 15:47

I wear Tocca-Cleopatra; you can get it in space NK and is just gorgeous. Have also work Chanel allure for about 15 years and have fond memories of samsara. I might buy some!!!

HipHopOpotomus · 05/07/2012 15:50

I am now lusting to go to Serge Lutens perfumery in gay Paris! SpaceNK stock his perfumes.

CapuccinoCannoliLover · 05/07/2012 15:55

Thierry Mugler and Chanel perfumes, even eau de toilettes, really last on my skin. My favs are Alien, Angel and Coco, which I haved loved since I was 16. I also love the original Eau de Cologne, which I picked up in Cologne a couple of years ago, but it doesn't last long on me.

swangirl · 05/07/2012 15:56

Harajuku Lovers Angel I need to buy a new bottle I love this perfume

Ryoko · 05/07/2012 16:11

Dior pure poison

MistyRocks · 05/07/2012 16:29

christian dior pure poison

sends men LOOPY (in a good way) Blush

chickydoo · 05/07/2012 16:31

White Linen for me. Have worn it for 25 years.
If I fancy a change I use Hermes Eau de Nile or Jo Malone LBM

stookiesackhouse · 05/07/2012 16:38

I am completely loyal to Angel by Thierry Mugler. I could drink that stuff.

Black Orchid by Tom Ford is a close second though.

RSVP · 05/07/2012 16:47

Narcisso Rodriguez for her

blondiedollface · 05/07/2012 16:53

I managed to eek my bottle out for 5 years after it was discontinued, but alas no more now... :(

Baby Touch by Burberry - Such a gentle feminine scent and different on everyone who wears it, on me it was just so delicious and addictive I couldn't stop sniffing my wrists!!

FateLovesTheFearless · 05/07/2012 16:54

Alien.

ruthie48 · 05/07/2012 16:55

Chanel number 5 all the way

diabolo · 05/07/2012 17:02

Daisy - Mark Jacobs - sunny, summery, sweet
DKNY Woman - smells like lemons and vodka
J'adore - Christian Dior - sexy, reminds me of winter for some reason

These are the only ones I ever use.
