Elizabeth Taylor's Black Pearls. Now discontinued :(
Most perfect perfume for me ever. Nothing else quite like it on the market.

Most perfumes smell like cats' pee on me, or have a sour note to them which is unpleasant - Black Pearls never did.

After trying lots of perfumes in duty free recently, I chose Dolce and Gabbana Rose the One.

Geeklover · 22/08/2012 17:07

Another lover of Lady Million. I ALWAYSget compliments on it when I wear it. Love love love it and the men's one. Could eat a man alive wearing it.

MattDamonIsMyLover · 22/08/2012 20:35

I love Millions for men too.

One I think is discontinued is Libertine by V Westwood. I bought the Candy by Prada today. Smells lovely.

Hairtodayandgonetomorrow · 22/08/2012 20:37

Intuition - Estee Lauder

coffeeinbed · 22/08/2012 20:40

I'm a bit of a perfume tart.
Had some Serge Lutens Fleurs d'Oranger yesterday and can still smell it now.

DonaAna · 22/08/2012 21:04

Love so many: Leather Oud by Dior, CdG Zagorsk, L'air du desert marocain are current favorites.

Iss · 22/08/2012 21:05

My favourite is Chloe, always get compliments when I wear it Smile

Cerruti 1881 - for everyday

skyebluesapphire · 22/08/2012 23:39

I've worn Anais Anais for over 20 years. Recently been trying out a few more scents:

Cacherel Amor Amor
Cacherel Amor Amor Sunshire
Britney Spears Curious

Has anybody got any recommendations of anything that I might like? I dont like anything too heavy and I prefer floraly, but not sickly.

STBXH gave me Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden for my 40th in March, but its really not me......

LaurieFairyCake · 22/08/2012 23:49

Thumbwitch - they've got 100ml of black pearls on eBay for £15 - can't link on the phone but it's there, lots under 20 too Smile

SirBoobAlot · 22/08/2012 23:52

Armani Code.

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 22/08/2012 23:52

Very Valentino - night out smell
Romance - day smell
Gucci - serious seduction smell
Dolce e gabbana the one - feel better smell
Clinique happy - happy smell!

I'm a classic girl, can you tell?!

cheeseandmushroomtoastie · 22/08/2012 23:54

I hate hate hate dkny apple. Why oh why would you want to smell like that?! Just sharing, you know Grin

Thumbwitch · 22/08/2012 23:55

Thanks Laurie :) - I still have a full bottle of the stuff, but the thing about it now is that it's starting to lose its fixative, and I'm sure the stuff that's on sale still will be in the same condition as it hasn't been made for a looong time now! I don't wear it very often either.

Cremolavelodrome · 23/08/2012 00:10

Eau de Calandre Paco Rabanne
Ô - Lancôme
Eau D'Issey
And one that's been retired called New Woman

janji · 23/08/2012 00:21

Angel by Thierry mugler, flower bomb by victor and Rolf and pretty much any by Jo Malone (esp her ltd ed summer fragrance).

kitsonkittykat · 23/08/2012 00:30

I also love Alien, but day to day wear L'Occitane Pivoine Flora.

Cremolavelodrome · 23/08/2012 11:33

Yes daytime I like rive gauche body spray
It is 80s but I think I have just loved it as I was given it for my 21st birthday about a million years ago:)

MyNameIsInigoMontoya · 23/08/2012 14:31

I like wearing different ones for different days/moods, so my favourites are all quite varied but here they are:

Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune - for daytime, Summer, when I need waking up or a bit of a lift (I also love their Herba Fresca)

Origins Ginger (esp. the intense version) - especially in Winter or when I need something a bit comforting.

Stila Creme Bouquet - it was unavailable for a while but has just reappeared, hurray! Though I managed to find a Korres one that's a bit similar (Freesia, lychee and vanilla I think?). A bit of a girly one!

Kenzo A Time for Peace - for special occasions (I especially love it at Christmas!) or if I've got a bit of a "spiritual" vibe going on.

fedupofnamechanging · 23/08/2012 18:39

I really like Alien.

Also a Victoria's Secret one, called Angel.

I also still love Body Shop's White Musk Blush

buttercrumble · 29/08/2012 19:39

Pomegranate noir and lime basil and mandarin, both by Jo Malone. Also Opium by YSL are my favourites.........
