Narciso Rodriguez For Her & Serge Noir by Serge Lutens are lovely and musky if you like your perfumes to be dark and musky.

Chicinwellies · 19/03/2015 20:25

So funny, vie est belle smells bad on me too. Not a lover of narciso for her, it's (on me) just like sjp Lovely and not good x

Lancome's La Vie est Belle was my wedding day perfume. Smile

skylerwhite1 · 19/03/2015 20:33

Sorry Pixa, I hope you didn't take offence with my post. I still love the smell of it, just not on me.

Pixa · 19/03/2015 20:36

Absolutely didn't take offence, perfumes smell different on different people. I took it positively; you liked it well enough to follow someone with it! Smile Every time I hear it being mentioned, or smell it on someone else it takes me back to my wedding day.

I think SJP Lovely is lovely especially the body lotion. Love Kiehls vanilla and cedar wood it's warm and yummy.

Chicinwellies · 19/03/2015 20:38

Ditto me, And with a few other perfumes too. It smells amazing on my sister and I always have perfume envy. She wears Ellie Saab too which I whizzed off and bought, only to give it away within a week . Trying Next tomorrow, if not back to Chanel eau fraiche chance for good

Lol, again that came out wrong. Sjp lovely is indeed lovely, and then I put it on and I make it smell like an impulse body spray

YY to M & S perfumes - really like New York and the Bohemia ones.

The new Fragonard Jasmin perfume is next on my list to buy!

KiteKit · 19/03/2015 20:46

Neroli Portofino here too Grin I have been wearing it for about 2yrs now and keep coming back to it, dh just bought me a bottle for mother's day on behalf of dd.

Though some small bottle samples of Tom Ford came with it and I really like the oud one. Dh is trying it as an alternative aftershave and I love the smell. I might dabble it it, especially if he buys it

We have often worn the same scents at the same time - acqua di parma, Tom Forfd Grey Vetyver, Creed Vetyver etc

Hersetta427 · 19/03/2015 20:49

For my birthday I received a bottle of night princess by Vera wang. Lovely scent that lasts all day - far longer then princess which I also love.

Chicinwellies · 21/03/2015 15:12

Hmm, so see by Chloe not good on me.... May just have to stick to Chance eau fraiche x

SJP Lovely smells like cat's piss on me.

BackCrackAndNappySack · 21/03/2015 15:21

Blue Agave and Cacao by Jo Malone

LadyStark · 21/03/2015 15:37

Victor and Rolf, Flowerbomb. It's delicious!

SuperFlyHigh · 21/03/2015 15:49

I like chloe love story but if I wore it every day I'd run out!

PinkSparklyPussyCat · 21/03/2015 16:51

Peony and Blush Suede by Jo Malone. I tried Blue Agave and Cacao BackCrack and not only did it smell revolting on me it brought me out in a rash! I managed to get a refund from Jo Malone.

marceline · 21/03/2015 21:41

Bit off the beaten track but I have fallen in love with Penhaligon's Amaranthine.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 21/03/2015 23:26

Grin @ skyler

I don;t wear perfume but I do have a couple of L'Occitane verbena colognes that I like (reminds me of all the lemony ones from my teens)

senrensareta · 21/03/2015 23:35

I tried the Next Eau Premiere ones and although they smelt nice they didn't last, totally gone in a couple of hours

I'm watching with interest as I am looking for a new perfume too

ShouldIworryornothelp · 22/03/2015 08:16

Dolce and Gabbanna light blue is gorgeous but I appreciate people may want to boycott them

DontGotoRoehampton · 22/03/2015 08:26

Eau Premiere in Bergamot and Amber from Next.
£20 for eau de parfum, bloody lovely.

ooh thanks, going there today for DS - will be testing it!

hollyisalovelyname · 22/03/2015 09:46

I love my new Ted Baker Polly.
Totally different to other fragrances I use, like Chanel Jersey, Annick Goutal Ninfeo Mio,Rituals Mei Dao and Coty's Wild Musk.

KissyBoo · 22/03/2015 09:51

I have been wearing the Next Bergamot one and it really lasts on me- I can still smell it on me in the morning having used it the day before. I have had a couple of raves about it- it really is exceptional.

The other two ,jasmine and rose quartz,do not have the same longevity and are nowhere near as good.

My DH LOVES light Blue but to me it smells like Archers and Lemonade on my skin.
