perfumes, which is top of your list

[TLV]

dh usually buys me a bottle for xmas, I have chanel mademoiselle, Ralph lauren romance and shalimar but I have no idea what to get this year, had a smell of the new D&G the one?? but that reminded me of a calvin klein fragrance.

Would you trust your DH/DP to make their own judgement and buy a bottle or do you always tell them which one you would prefer.

has anyone tried any of the Roberto Cavelli??? perfumes

Might be Sensuelle, but anyway it's a bloody sexy purfume!

prada is quite a fave right now
also love Agent Provocateur

but I always revert back to Chanel Mademoiselle or Coco.

jo molone lime basil and mandarin all the time it instantly makes me feel fresh and ready for the day and all it throws at me i have settled on this being my smell for a long time after swopping and changing because workfriends kept asking what i was wearing and then starting using it themselves made me so mad so now i dont tell if they ask its my smell oh and everybody elses that uses it

White Linen (Estee Lauder)

Libertine by Vivienne Westwood.

estee lauder? Beautiful

Thank you chocolate peanut for mentioning Eau de Givenchy! It's the only perfume I have ever found that smells nice on me. I smell a lot of other nice ones on other people, but as soon as I try them on myself, they smell like disinfectant, cleaning fluids etc! I guess I must have weird skin Chemistry. Anyway, I didn't realise they still made Eau de Givenchy, as I haven't had any for ages, and haven't seen it in the shops. But now you've mentioned it, I googled it, and found several websites where I can buy some.

I have 3 that I rotate.

Green tea - ELizabeth Arden (summer days)
Provocative Woman - Elizabeth arden (evenings)
Armand Basi - Daytime

The Armand Basi my MIL bought duty free and I thought I would hate, I actually love it and you cannot get it in this country so it also has teh rarit value. It is light and fresh, but not quite as fresh as Green tea IYKWIM.

Agree with giddy1 - jean-paul gaultier classique (re effect on dh lol). Have worn it for ages. My cousin ended up buying a bottle because she said it smelled so nice on me. Was because is my 'signature' scent (if such a thing exists).

Also love Coco (but don't have any atm ), Vera Wang and Obsession Sheer (yes, sad 80's throwback is me... )

Gucci No3.Sadly discontinued now.I t was the only perfume I've really loved.

Love Aromatics Elixir by Clinque - smells bizarre when you first squirt it on but give it ten minutes to settle and it's fab. And, btw, what's all this about eveing perfumes? Do I need to spray on something different for my post-bathtime collapse in front of the telly???

Day - White Musk, Body Shop. Worn it since I was about 13. Still love it plus I have the body lotions, soap, etc. Have liked other body shop scents - Oceanus, Ananya, Dewberry etc, plus others such as Cerruti 1881, Givenchy Amarige, but keep coming back to this.

Evening - Chanel Chance. (Most of my friends like Allure but it smells weird on me).

PS SoMuchtoBits and ChocolatePeanut - I also used to love Eau de Givenchy. Will maybe ask for some for Christmas too as didn't think it was still around.

ck1 for daytime, Dune for evening.

Yes, I think I will ask for some Eau de Givenchy for Christmas too!

My faves at the moment are Euphoria and Vera Wang. I love perfume but get bored very easily. Still love Euphoria though and have had it a year now.

Also love Paul Smith Women and Truth by Calvin Klein.

I like Davidoff Cool Water and DNKY and wear both all the time. I also like Clinique Happy and Armani White.

Jo Malone. French Lime Blossom is fav one. I think JM sells their perfumes online.

Mirage! Fancy that. Gucci no3 was ALWAYS my perfume. I miss it and cant understand why they would stop making it.

Mrs Badger, I think thats the most romantic thing I've heard all year. He can even remember what you smelled like before you went out together. That's just lovely!

D & G feminine
D & G light blue for something light

Chanel Allure for something more exotic

JessaJam - I like Eden too - my mum wore it and it reminds me of her.

my mum was quite young and hip btw!

coco chanel

I love my D&G light blue
flowers by kenzo - i haven't got the perfume but use the body cream
