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

[GoranisGod]

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?

DKNY Cashmere Mist.

Estee Lauder 'Pleasures'.

Ooh - I think I'd go for Jo Malone's Lime, Basil and Mandarin. I love the way the citrus notes give way to a warm, woody heart

Chanel mademoiselle. Gucci Envy is still available (amazon) DH bought me some for V day. The bottle is different it was black instead of clear. :-)

I love Guerlain too, Gerorf. I think it was India Knight's book on shopping that got me interested in trying them I once bought a bottle of L'heure Bleu in TK Maxx for silly money. I have Apres L'Ondee but ever since I was pregnant with DS2, it smells different to/on me.

I love old-fashioned, non-cloying floral scents and would happily buy up half of Penhaligon's, were it not that they only last an hour or so on me.

My absolute favourite though, if I had to choose, would not be a Guerlain, but Diorissimo. With L'Heure Bleu as a close second.

CoCo Madamoiselle by Chanel

Chanel no. 5 all the way for me...

Yy to Dior addict. I am out of all perfumes ATM and keep dropping massive hints to dp...

Thanks guccigirly, I have seen it online before but I'm always worried as to how old it is...
Does purfume go 'off' even if the bottle hasn't been opened?

Chanel no 5 Eau premiere - slightly lighter than no 5, I absolutely love it

Beautiful. I love it. I sniff myself when I'm wearing it!
I like most Estee Lauder perfumes.

Coco Chanel and Prada cant decide both beautiful

Too hard to choose one.

Love Guerlain's l'heure bleue but my fave has to be Fleur Oriental by Miller Harris.

notheroldie 5th Avenue is on Fragrance Direct, in various incarnations including 'night' and '5pm' for around £16. Just thought I'd mention. smile

For me don't fancy wearing only one fragrance forever, but quite like Dusk by Arrogant Cat.

Cool Water Woman -Davidoff. The only one I've ever found that I like, with the added bonus that it doesn't make me sneeze :).

My mum wears RL Safari its lovely.
My fave sleb one is JLos Glow.

Tendre Poison, but they have stopped doing it. My dd says I don't smell like mummy now

Tuberose and Gardenia by Estée Lauder

I shall die wearing Boucheron. Worn and adored it for twenty odd years.

Chanel chance.

Very rarely wear perfume, and find strong perfume on other people really offensive. But my favourite ever perfume is Les Belles de Ricci, it smells like tomato plants. I love fresh fruity scents.

I find perfumes really hard - so many seem to make meel feel nauseous / headachy when I wear them, although I love them on other people. I have given up on Chanel altogether because it makes me feel awful

I settled on Ralph Lauren Romance ... and then I got pregnant with DC1 and found I couldn't wear it any more because it made me feel ill

10 years and much experimentation later I have now settled on Boss Femme, which smells very much like Romance but lacks whatever ingredient it is that makes me feel sick!

I also flirt with Obsession on evenings out / in the winter [old skool] but it is very strong and heady so only needs the tiniest dab.

Wicked thread, OP!

I'm a big fan of Samsara, too. However, I couldn't choose just one perfume. For me, they have to be strong but not overpowering, fresh, floral or woody. Faves of mine are:

'The One' by Dolce and Gabbana
'Flora' by Gucci
'Hypnose' by Lancome
'Issey Miyaki' by Issey Miyake
'Lola' by Marc Jacobs
'Narcisse' by Chloe
'Splendor' by Elizabeth Arden

If I had to pick just one, it would be 'The One' :)

Another fan of 'Cashmere Mist ' by DKNY

Hugo Deep Red
Chloe
