Diorella (bought for me by DH, my wedding perfume and worn for years until they changed it)
Chanel Coco
L'occitane Verbena (until DS appropriated it and now wears it all the time in between Old Spice and Lynx)
Now I switch between Laura Mercier La Lune and Diorissimo.

Original femme by roc has
Obsession and Byzance

Lacoste femme
Now a mixture of Roberto cavali Aqua or elie Saab l'eau

Ps would love to like l'occitane or Jo Malone but they just don't 'do' it for me... Have tried...
