What's your 'everyday' perfume and can you describe it?

I'm on the hunt for new daytime scent and I haven't found it so I thought I might ask MN for a shortlist so I can maximise my extremely brief perfume-sniffing time while my toddler is happy in the buggy ie distracted with snacks

My previous one has been Marc Jacobs Daisy which I like a lot (just want a change) - I suppose it is floral but without being sickly, it's sort of fresh and zingy but not too overpowering.

Yours??

love that too.
i am currently on either the lidl cheap coco copy ( very realistic but doesnt last long) or Tom ford black orchid which is a bit hearvy for le jour tbh

Vivienne Westwood Boudoir, which is warm along the lines of Chanel Allure Sensuelle, Boudoir Sin Garden is more fresh and floral.

A friends dd got in her car and said "angrybeaver has been in here?!" Her mum and I had gone for a run that morning and she'd given me a lift :)

212 sexy - Caroline Herrera
Femme - Hugo Boss
Indian night jasmine - body shop
Calvin kline - Obsession
Cerruti 1881
Dior poison
Plus several more, but these are the ones I wear the most.

I don't have night or day perfumes. I just spray what I feel like wearing at the time.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 26/12/2013 21:52

Prada Infusion d'Iris - light floral
Diptyque Philsykos - like figs
Kiehls Musk - soapy

CockBollocks · 26/12/2013 21:54

Chanel coco or chance here

DIddled · 26/12/2013 22:00

I wear Eternity moment for work- not too ££££. I love standard Eternity for a night out- old but I think a classic.

TheGashlycrumbTinies · 26/12/2013 22:03

Coco Chanel, always.

TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge · 26/12/2013 22:05

Noa by Cacharel. Been wearing it for over 10 years now since I sniffed it in a mag and it just smelled so clean,delicately feminine and understated.

MissRabbitsCV · 26/12/2013 22:10

Marking my place. I'm looking for inspiration.

Utterly · 26/12/2013 22:16

this for everyday, school run type day Also have Coco Chanel but it's not quite me.

BitOfFunWithSanta · 26/12/2013 22:20

I wear Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir too. I read the reviews to DP, and he insisted I buy it when a couple of them said that it reeked of sex Xmas Grin

tigerdriverII · 26/12/2013 22:20

Another vote for Clarins Eau des Jardins. It's fresh, floral and slightly salty. I've had a lot of compliments wearing it.

Jackthebodiless · 26/12/2013 22:26

Faves for the last few years:
YSL Cinema for winter
Victor & Rolf Flowerbomb for summer

MaeveORave · 26/12/2013 22:28

Ck one for day. Burberry weekend for men.
Inis.

Love loads more but they are too expwnsive

JemimaMuddledUp · 26/12/2013 22:30

Have you smelt Marc Jacobs Honey? I had it for Christmas and it is a good everyday perfume. I also wear ckone.

MrsRogerSterling · 26/12/2013 23:14

Just got a bottle of Stella McCartney Lily for Christmas after complimenting my sister on it when she wore hers.

Also have Clinique Happy, Dolce & Gabanna Light Blue, Jo Maone English Pear & Freesia and French Lime Blossom.

I rotate them all depending on my mood.

alemci · 26/12/2013 23:20

I've also been given (bought it myself for xmas from dh) la belle a vie by lancome which is lovely. sometimes wear Miracle.

missmarplestmarymead · 26/12/2013 23:45

I like Marc Jacobs but have just been given Trish McEvoy Snowdrop and Crystal Flowers and I think I'll enjoy that too!

ArtemisatBrauron · 27/12/2013 02:13

Diptyque 34 - gorgeous, not too sweet but really attractive and moreish

ArtemisatBrauron · 27/12/2013 02:16
