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?

Dewberry by the Body Shop :o

JOKE

Chanel Allure but I wish I had a more poncetastic one like Gerrofs, that I've never even heard of Envy

Peace and Love by Kenzo. Sadly it was limited edition so difficult to get hold of. Their other perfumes smell foul, but this one is lovely. It's unisex so not sickly sweet.

Shalimar.

caliDreaming · 05/07/2012 17:23

Amor Amor by Cacharel
Chance eau fraiche by Chanel
D&G L'Imperatrice

AmazingDisgrace · 05/07/2012 17:27

Ma Griffe by Carven or Jo Malone orange blossom

InMySpareTime · 05/07/2012 17:30

WD40, it smells delightfulGrin

MadameOvary · 05/07/2012 17:35

Ooh - all time fave is Aveda Bliss - but they discontinued it. Still got a bottle of Aveda Attraction which is a close second.

sugarice · 05/07/2012 17:48

I would love a sniff of the Tom Ford one mentioned earlier, Black Orchid . I love strong heady perfume.

GoranisGod · 05/07/2012 17:51

pinot-getorfs fave is by Guerlain-I like it too but my local debenhams doesnt stock it. Its a floriental and like all of the perfumes by guerlain has the classic guerlainade-a strong vanilla base.

I LOVE Guerlain perfumes although due to reformulations they no longer have the lasting power they once had.

Summer fragrance Gucci Envy Me,
Winter Fragrance Coco Mademoiselle.
I just switch when the time feels right, 6 weeks ago it didn't feel right to wear Coco Mademoiselle anymore, weird but just happens, has done for years.
Used to love wearing Angel by Thiery Mugler, but my DD borowed it a year ago (now 17) and it's now her signature scent. Teachers know when she's been in a room at 6th form by the smell, they like it though, say it suits her.

akaemmafrost · 05/07/2012 17:56

White Citrus by Bath and Body Works if it lasted longer. It's gorgeous.

SuzySheepSmellsNice · 05/07/2012 17:57

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue... ((mmmmmmmmmm...)) Heaven!

Renniehorta · 05/07/2012 18:00

Mitsouko

I have worn it for more than 40 years. I still find it as heady, sophisticated and sexy as the first time I encountered it. Bizarrely the woman who was wearing it when I first met it, was having an affair with my father, unbeknownst to me.

A perfumier told me that it was one of the oldest perfumes still on the market.

slalomsuki · 05/07/2012 18:02

Would have to be one of the following for me

Angel
Coco Chanel
Boudoir
Poison

Would probably settle for Angel if pushed.

Emmielu · 05/07/2012 18:06

Little Black Dress & Little Red Dress from avon & jasmie & vanilla perfume from the body shop.

SaltResistantSlug · 05/07/2012 18:08

I adore J'adore by Dior and was going to say that BUT...

I think it would have to be the original Bulgari, as no one I know wears it!

Chanel Cristalle. Smells like lemons and Lily of the Valley. A female colleague once told me it made me smell a bit "old lady" but I think she was just jealous of my beautiful smell.

ENormaSnob · 05/07/2012 18:26

Just one? Shock

Clinique happy.

or alien

or jpg the original

Perfume slut.

YouOldSlag · 05/07/2012 18:27

Oh and l'Air du Temps

YouOldSlag · 05/07/2012 18:28

and Chloe, the signature scent.

TyrannosaurusBex · 05/07/2012 19:05

Jo Malone Black Vetyver Cafe, and Nutmeg & Ginger. At the same time.

RoxyRobin · 05/07/2012 19:16

Mitsouko - only one I ever wear now.

Though I was a bit taken aback when I read years ago that it was Mrs Thatcher's fave.

guccigirly · 05/07/2012 19:31

Blibblibbs and Notheroldie, Fifth Avenue and Gucci Envy available for sale on Ebay - brand new bottles.
