I'm going shopping today...

I like:
Narciso Rodriguez
Black Orchid
Coco - Chanel

These are heavy hitters, and with warmer weather and a new baby I'd like something lighter/fresher...
Trouble is when I smell something summery floral it doesn't seem very 'me'.

All suggestions welcome... Smile

I love Calvin Klein - Euphoria. Always get asked about it when I wear it.
I also love Elizabeth Arden Fifth Avenue.
Neither are floraly or heavy.

chanel no5

WinkyWinkola · 17/05/2013 09:37

Diorissimo
Chanel No. 19

We have similar tastes! You may conside Coco Noir which is lighter than Coco?
My 'summer' favourites are Sisley Eau du Soir, Chanel 19, Chanel Cristalle. They are shypre/citrusy and not floral.
Maybe good old YSL Rive Gauche?
You seem to like chypre and oriental perfumes, but I cannot think of a summery oriental. Maybe someone else with more knowledge will suggest something

Cabotine de gres, for a cheaper option (by Cacharel)

Thanks all! I'm so glad I asked, as I hadn't thought of most of these...

And I bought... nothing. None of the ones I could get my hands on were 'the one'!

Chloe Narcissis (sp)
Beautiful Estee Lauder

Try Alien. People who like Narciso Rodriguez tend to like this too (straw poll amongst my friends, not really scientific)

NoCarbsBeforeBarbs · 19/05/2013 14:22

Chanel Mademoiselle
Flowerbomb (Viktor & Rolf)
Lady Million Paco Rabanne

My Favourites!

Macdog · 19/05/2013 14:25

Marc Jacobs Lola - like a flower garden

Charliefox · 19/05/2013 15:26

Flower bomb and Chanel no 19.

Acrackinthefabricoftime · 19/05/2013 18:32

I love Zen by Shiseido.

rootypig · 19/05/2013 18:57

I love Dior perfumes - Addict, Diorrissimo. Though not sure how 'light' they are. Um Gucci Flora range? or would you consider something with just a couple of notes, like Jo Malone or Miller Harris? Oooh! Diptique Philosykos? it's fig, which is very fresh / light imo.
