Heavy perfume recommendations

[ipadmad]

Can you recommend any 'heavy' perfumes? I'm thinking along the lines of Angel, Poison and Fracas but something different to those as am looking for a change.

I've tried Mitsouko but didn't like that - was too 'mature' for me.

Thanks

Bottega Veneta eau de parfum, I have been asked what I'm wearing probably 90% of the times I've worn it! Beautiful scent very very unique and very strong.

Poeme by Lancôme

Hypnotic Poison

Amarige by Givenchy

Clinique Aromatics Elixir.

I have worn it for years and I love it

One of my favourites is L'Air de Rien by Miller Harris. I do like Mitsouko though.

Chanel coco mademoiselle is quite strong. I love it

Tom ford black thing

L'Agent (Agent Provocateur)
Nu (YSL)
Black Opium (YSL)
Lots of the Tom Ford's: Black Orchid, White Patchouli, Sahara Noir (but the latter only if you like incense/dry wood).
Coco Chanel

You could register on Nose and put in the fragrances you've mentioned and see what it throws up?

Cinema or Paris (YSL)
Samsara (Guerlain)
Dune (Dior)
Beautiful or Spellbound (Estée Lauder)
I'd second the recommendations for Amarige and Hypnotic Poison.

Oud&Rose by St Dupont
Amazing smell that lasts forever!

YSL Opium is lush!

Have you tried Lolita Lempicka? Sweet but with liquorice to give it an edge. It's my new favourite!

I have Hypnotic Poison too and love it.

La Vie est Belle is heavy but very sweet and poss too similar to what you already have?

Have you seen the Fragantica website?

Three of my fav heady perfumes are
Insolence -guerlian
Black opium-ysl
Elle-ysl

I wear Paloma Picasso and have done for the past 25 years. Its heavy and delicious and I live in fear of it being discontinued. I am regularly asked what perfume I wear and lots of people have said they associate it with me.

Tom ford black orchid or tobacco vanille. I had to give my bottles way as they made me heave (I'm pregnant) even if I just took the top off. In fact, I had to give all the heavy stuff to my sister, and I used to love the stuff. Now: vomit central!

3rd vote for Hypnotic Poison. Stays on you all day too.

L'air de Rien is good, also Dzing by L'Artisan Perfumeur.

Dolce Vita is but I think it's discontinued. Champagne by YSL but, I think, that's been rebranded as J'Adore. Also came to mention Loilita Lempicka but see that's already been posted.

Coco Noir by Chanel

Beyond Rose by Clinique is relatively newly out. It's v influenced by the oud trend but I have to admit I rather like it.

If you are near a major perfume retailer, you should try le labo - poivre and lys (I think that's what it's called!) and Frederick Malle -carnal flower, musc ravageur and magnolia. They're powerful but modern.
If not near sellers of non-mainstream perfume sellers, I stick with the recommendation of trying a sample of Beyond Rose. It might take you in a different direction.

Serge Noir by Serge Lutens is a very distinctive heavy fragrance. It's my regular winter scent, I absolutely love it.

Amarige
Samsara
Chloe Narcisse

Bit retro but all strong

YSL Rive Gauche

I used to love Boudoir by

Oops

Westwood but since becoming pregnant and having my daughter I find it far too strong
