A lovely cheap one is red musk from the body shop

Smells amazing

itsnothingoriginal · 22/03/2015 14:15

Does the Red Musk one last on your skin Hammer ? I love BS perfumes but most barely last an hour on me!

Lush - smell of weather turning
Vivienne Westwood boudoir

Ooh the new Laura Mercier eau gourmande is lovely!

Today I fell in love with Prada Infusion d'Iris. It's been out for years but I had never tried it. Very Summery and it smelled lovely on me all day. DP kept saying how much he liked it too. I think I'm getting it instead of an Easter Egg Grin

I am currently loving Guerlain la petite robe noire

meerkatmumma · 01/04/2015 10:13

Such a gorgeous fragrance! My favourite new find, and it lasts REALLY well

stillstanding51 · 01/04/2015 10:46

In my search for a light work perfume, I have discovered Lascoste femme, in the tall rectangular bottle. It's gorgeous, unlike anything I've ever used in the past and not a brand I would have usually tried. It's soft, feminine, and very subtle. Well worth a spray when you're next in Boots Grin

I had Calvin Klein's Reveal for Christmas. It's lovely, a bit heavy for work but great for evenings.

SaladCreamOnEverthing · 01/04/2015 12:03

Absolutely LOVE Next's Bergamot & Rich Amber! Such a gorgeous fragrance, and lasts really well in my experience.

Jemimapuddleduk · 01/04/2015 12:07

Guerlain la petite robe noire petales.
Wasn't keen on the original but this is lovely!

Clinique's new perfume Calyx. Starts off grapefruit then mellows to something clean and fresh.

VirginiaTonic · 01/04/2015 16:16

Calyx isn't new, it used to be a prescriptives fragrance until they stopped making the rest of their range and then it was relaunched as part of the Clinique range. Been around since the early 90s.

VivVivacious · 01/04/2015 17:11

Happy by Clinique for day and Chanel no.19 for eve:)

BaconAndAvocado · 01/04/2015 19:36

Sad I went to Next today on a quest to try the Bergamot and Amber but to no avail. They didn't stock it as it's just a small branch.

Will have to spread my wings to the big city!

I did try Next's Azure Sparkles (?) which was quite nice though.

ArcangelaTarabotti · 01/04/2015 20:17

Me too! Not available at Next in Kew Retail park Sad

Weebirdie · 01/04/2015 20:22

YSL Supreme Bouquet is so gorgeous I quite often put it on to go to bed just so I can smell it when Im asleep.

Ijustworemytrenchcoat · 01/04/2015 20:25

When I was looking for my mum a present I liked Valentina by Valentino. I only sprayed it on a card though. All perfume smells awful on me Sad. There is something wrong with my body chemistry. I can just about wear the blue clarins spray but nothing stronger.

MrsMeow · 01/04/2015 20:34

Michael Kors Sexy Amber. Crap name, gorgeous scent!

smokedgarlic · 01/04/2015 20:53

White Rose and lemon leaves by Love Jo. Wow it lasts and lasts and smells gorgeous

Allie82 · 04/04/2015 11:37

Personally my favourite is ysl opium, but the one I get most compliments on is lancome la vie est belle

mooth · 04/04/2015 15:13

My newest favourite is Black Opium. Gorgeous.
