If you could buy perfume from only one brand which would it be!?

Just looked at mine and I'm obviously obsessed with Calvin Klein, have Eternity, Obsession (thanks to recent messages on here), Truth, Euphoria, CK One and Down Town. I think his perfumes last so well during the day so definitely my favourite!

Chanel

BabCNesbitt · 02/12/2015 08:54

Guerlain or Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (I don't like the latter's rather naff Goth theme, but their oils smell great.)

HooseRice · 02/12/2015 08:55

Clarins

I wear Eau Dynamisante most days.

VeryPunny · 02/12/2015 08:58

Another Hermes here!

BoboChic · 02/12/2015 10:23

Annick Goutal or Byredo

shoofly · 02/12/2015 10:25

Looking at my dressing table, I'd say Jo Malone, but I think I'd rather have Acqua de Parma

getoffthattabletnow · 02/12/2015 10:30

Serge Lutens and L'Artisan Parfumeur.

ToElleWithIt · 02/12/2015 10:43

Frederic Malle

niminypiminy · 02/12/2015 10:52

Guerlain or Caron

Dowser · 02/12/2015 11:16

Hermes for me too. I have caleche. Orange verte and was tinkering with the idea of buying some more 24 Fauberg, but bought loccitane instead.

Will get the Fauberg next trip!

Dowser · 02/12/2015 11:18

Eau dynamisante is nice but not very strong and doesn't long enough for me.

Like the sound of this al rehab oils one

I went to Grasse once and loved the idea of the oils.

Dowser · 02/12/2015 11:23

Tate...they seem very cheap for perfume oils. £1-99 for jasmine. Are you sure/ convinced they are true oils?

I'd like to try some, which are your favourites please?

Dowser · 02/12/2015 11:28

Well I'm in to win! Just bought a jasmin for £1-99.

Have you any other favourites. This could solve my problem of what to buy my friend for her birthday.

Avon lady who has everything....!

TheWatchersCouncil · 02/12/2015 11:47

Hard to say a brand, but the perfumer I could limit myself to is Jean Claud Ellena.

Housewife2010 · 02/12/2015 11:52

Definitely Diptyque. But if I was limiting myself to a nose it would be Olivia Giacobetti.

WanderingTrolley1 · 02/12/2015 11:55

Dior.

jamtartandcustard · 02/12/2015 12:31

Chanel. I wear coco mademoiselle everyday anyway, but if I want something extra special will go to no 5.
I like other perfumes, especially marc Jacobs and vera wang but if I could only wear one brand it has to be chanel.

Whatthefoxgoingon · 02/12/2015 12:57

Guerlian. Nose definitely Thierry Wasser.

CointreauVersial · 02/12/2015 13:09

Ooh, good question! Can I choose more than one?

Hermes.

No, wait......Tom Ford.

Argh, and what about.....Serge Lutens.....

hellsbellsmelons · 02/12/2015 13:14

Bvlgari

Dowser · 02/12/2015 15:48

Interestingly on the list ' of noses' the only ones I recognise that link back to designer houses are masques and jean Paul guerlain.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfumer

hollinhurst84 · 02/12/2015 17:35

L'artisan or 4160 Tuesday's

yazzy85 · 02/12/2015 19:12

Chanel

cressetmama · 02/12/2015 19:32

If I had to stick to a single nose, it would be Jean-Claude Ellena, which is consistent with my fragrance house, Hermes, but I would like to have access to the scents he's done for other companies too!

TSSDNCOP · 02/12/2015 19:43
