I love Angel and Millionaire and Si

Itsalldramarama · 02/05/2015 20:24

A difficult question. As one persons favourite is another's nightmare !! My all time favourites are Chanel sycamore . Cuirass de russie, 28 la pausa and frederic malles portrait of a lady ( not that I can afford them by any means !!! Check out the perfume court for decants :)

Itsalldramarama · 02/05/2015 20:25
  • cuir de russie ! Damn auto correct !
itsnothingoriginal · 02/05/2015 20:27

My 'special' perfumes are Hypnotic Poison, La Vie est Belle and Mont Blanc Legend.

Love Laura Mercer scents - still deciding which one I like best to buy so keep going back to try them!!

DollopTheTrollop · 03/05/2015 18:39

Can anyone recommend something that smells a bit like Ultima ll Sheer Scent? Which in turn was very similar to a lighter Fahrenheit?

My all time favourite but discontinued :(

Rohey · 03/05/2015 19:34

Prada infusions d'iris parfum, Chanel No 5 and Philosphy pure grace...

Always get comments about smelling gorgeous.. X

Gem124 · 03/05/2015 19:46

I wear Si or Valentina and always get lovely comments

Chunkymonkey79 · 03/05/2015 19:49

Dior Addict. Seriously, wow.

Allie82 · 04/05/2015 17:43

I wear lancome la vie est belle which I love, weirdly my friend wears britneys midnight fantasy and she gets complimented on it almost daily!

PollyCazaletWannabe · 04/05/2015 17:45

L'eau d'issey by Issey miyake. I get compliments all the time.

maybetomorrow22 · 04/05/2015 18:50

I second Issy Miyake, and the men's one is just divine! I also love YSL Elle.

Marmaladybird · 04/05/2015 19:02

Lancome Poeme or Laura Ashley Pink Petals (but wears off quickly despite being expensive).

Stinkersmum · 04/05/2015 19:13

Jo Malone's Osmanthus Blossom. OMG. I could kiss myself when I wear it.

Misslgl88 · 04/05/2015 19:20

I actually love Chanel chance eau fraiche its so lovely and light

Just bought elie saab's resort collection it really does smell like beach in a bottle, sure I read somewhere it was trying to capture the amalfi Coast and it really does just make Me feel like I'm on an exotic holiday

TheWordFactory · 04/05/2015 19:20

La Petite Robe Noir by Guerlain is absurdly pretty.

housemoverihope · 04/05/2015 19:54

I have similar likes to you and am currently in love with Givenchy Dahlia Divin.

Sparkletastic · 04/05/2015 19:57

I've just discovered 4160 Tuesdays scents - Doe in the Snow smells a little like Diorella but more fabulous.

HMF1 · 04/05/2015 20:27

Currently Shalimar by Guerlain, I like perfumes with bergamot & Jasmine & a lot of my favourites have them in the mix. It's worth looking at the key notes in your favourites & then trying a few which have similar notes. I have always found most places willing to let you try & go away. You really need to try something on you before you buy.

Bonsoir · 04/05/2015 20:43

Flowerhead by Byredo.

MsRinky · 04/05/2015 21:50

Second 4160 Tuesdays. I am wearing The Dark Heart of Old Havana at the moment, it is like oranges and rum, is delicious.

mrsdavidbowie · 04/05/2015 21:51

Balenciaga.. The one in flowery bottle

shins · 04/05/2015 22:41

Frederic Malle's Portrait of a Lady. It's quite overpowering (wore it to work once and felt like a human no-fly zone) but it's oh so beautiful and opulent; I get compliments from even the perfume haters I know when I wear it.

GrimDamnFanjo · 04/05/2015 23:57

4160 Tuesdays. I wore Sunshine and Pancakes today.

AmelieinOz · 05/05/2015 00:45

I think this is very individual? But I love the pink Chanel, Clean perfumes, and recently I picked up the Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Yuzu perfume.

Needless to say, I like very light perfumes.

My mom is the total opposite - loves flowery and strong.

DustyBusters · 05/05/2015 01:02

I wear loads of different perfumes but the only one I ever get asked about is Clinique Aromatics Elixir. I've been told I smell delicious - by female friends :-)

I love Dior Addict, Prescriptives Calyx, Chanel Chance and Cristalle and Westwood Anglomania. Oh and the original Chloe and KL perfumes. I also really like one that Next do called Sparkle I think.
