Have been wearing a lot of Daisy (Marc Jacobs) for years, also love Wild Bluebell by Jo Malone - it's lovely.

I love Daisy. I'm thinking of buying a bottle for summer.

Anais Anais for teenage years/early twenties
Hugo Boss for women for my thirties
Currently wearing Jimmy Choo (40+)

I think I need to be a bit more adventurous but I've just remembered a brief flirtation with Fendi about 20 years ago that gave DH headaches. I needed to apply it to my ankles to have a subtle fragrance at head height

Femme and Rive Gauche as a teenager ( luckily for me had a grandmother who travelled a lot and would always bring me duty free).
Chanel No 5 in my twenties, and still use that for special days/evenings.
Eau d'Issey for daytime.
Jo Malone Suede Peony (?) is my current favourite.

I've had a very dull scent life...
For many years it was Body Shop White Musk

That green stuff with a number for a name? Loved it - wish I could remember what I mean. Popular early 80s. French?

Then I showed astonishing brand loyalty to Anais Anais - wore nothing but for ages. Decades. I'm a bit flighty these days - Chanel No 19 and No 5, some Jo Malone stuff.

Anais Anais must have been a mega bestseller. it's appearing on lots of lists. I thought it was glorious. Still do actually. But it's smelling my past so I wouldn't wear it again. Same with Rive Gauce.
