Ormonde woman by ormonde Jayne and rose d'arabie Armani prive

L'Occitane Cherry Blossom.....gorgeous, but does seen to fade fairly quickly (unless I've just become immune to it!)

CaptainCorellisVentolin · 30/12/2013 21:46

For winter: Agent Provocateur Eau de Parfum
For summer: Thé Blanc by Bulgari

Love them both equally!

Cefiro by Floris - I've worn it for years. Floris is a wonderful, old London perfumer (founded 1730).

Sickandsad · 30/12/2013 22:20

Trish McEvoy No.9 - blackberry & vanilla, gorgeous stuff!

Ohfuckeryitsmarzipan · 30/12/2013 23:16

Most of Guerlain, esp Mitsouko and Petit Robe Noir.
Tom Ford - anything. But way out of my price range.
One I have a sample of and can't find-Maison Martin margiela-tis lovely for summer. 4711.

Ohfuckeryitsmarzipan · 30/12/2013 23:29

Oh and Ginger by Lush. Used it when it was cosmetics to go.

EBearhug · 30/12/2013 23:59

Laura Ashley No. 1. The original version, not the rereleased one, which is not quite the same (I still have a last precious few drops left of the old one, so could compare and contrast.)

Eau de Givenchy was a close second. And then they go and discontinue them all, so I'm trying not to have a favourite any more.

alltoomuchrightnow · 31/12/2013 00:10

Definitely, Ohfuckery. Did you ever get it when it came in a wooden crate filled with pot pourri?

ICanSeeTheSeaFromHere · 31/12/2013 00:59

Chanel Mademoiselle, I love it!

DorisButtons · 31/12/2013 08:05

Twonoisyboys - could be you're just used to it. One of my faves is l'occitane neroli/Mediterranean and it's v strong. I need to be careful to use the tiniest squirt as it's still going late at night!

Longdistance · 31/12/2013 08:14

Emporio Armani She/Elle in the gold bottle. Have loved that fragrance since it first came out.

My dh bought me Si by Geogio Armani. Love it, it's a similar fragrance to La Perla.

lookdeepintotheparka · 31/12/2013 09:59

Jimmy Choo 'Flash' - oh so gorgeous and I love the smell on my scarves when I put them on again. This kind of replaced 'Angel' for me which I did love for a long time before realising that, yes it's just too strong and sweet!!

I like Vera Wang princess and also the original Ghost perfume too.

I'm also after lancome 'la vie est belle' when I can find it at a good price

Follyfoot · 31/12/2013 10:19

Eau de Givenchy. Very hard to find now but have just ordered a bottle from the US.Very few perfumes I try smell nice on me.

TawdryTatou · 01/01/2014 21:33

New one - Rose en Noir by Miller Harris.

Kenzo Flower.

And for the past fourteen years, Vivienne Westwood Boudoir.

GlitzAndGiggles · 01/01/2014 21:36

Gucci Rush

TawdryTatou · 01/01/2014 21:50

Oh shit, I've posted twice.

How sad is that?

Ohfuckeryitsmarzipan · 01/01/2014 21:58

alltoomuch I did! I still have a crate. I used to love ctg, then they became lush.

MaeveBehave · 01/01/2014 22:03

Follyfoot, I love(d) eau de givenchy too! do they still make it?

Something similar (ish) is Burberry Weekend for MEN. It is by no means exactly the same but it has a similar grapefruity freshness.

Crazycake · 01/01/2014 22:08

Issey miyake
Jimmy Choo (original)
Alien by Thierry mugler
No real order, it just depends on my mood.
