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!

I sometimes like weird conceptual stuff, and experimented a lot when I worked from home. But I now work in an office, and I find classics a perfumes that stay in the background (1932, La Pausa) easier to wear.

The idea of only wearing one house's perfumes is a desperately sad thought.

In complete agreement with (at least) two statements above. I also wonder what I am missing in Tom Ford, and second, yes most of the stuff available in Boots is meh!

ToysDontWorkNoMore · 03/12/2015 09:40

Malle, Guerlain or L'Artisan. Nose: Olivia Giacobetti, J-C Ellena or Bernard Duchafeur.

I don't like the Tom ford stuff they sell in boots but the slightly more exclusive stuff, like tobacc vanille, although I'm still looking for something slightly dirtier and smokey than even that.

Chanel or Annick G

I cant pick a perfume house i dont like many highstreet perfumes they mell very similar.
Currently wearing killian back to black i think its gorgeous has great staying power,shame about the price tag.

the only highstreet brand i did like quite a few perfumea from lacked in longevity so quit buying. i went through a phase of armani leui? Gold matt bottle bought it for many years very subtle, now i think it would be too young for me, and i prefer stronger woodier scents now.

TelephoneIgnoringMachine · 03/12/2015 19:38

I couldn't pick. I have only ever liked 4 perfumes - 2 by Dior, a Chanel, & CK. Maybe I'm not looking in the right shops. Never heard of some of the brands on here!

IamSantaClaus · 03/12/2015 19:47

Chanel

Nanasueathome · 03/12/2015 19:54

Jo Malone

Madbengalmum · 03/12/2015 19:54

ggirl · 03/12/2015 20:00

shins · 03/12/2015 20:11

Chanel, Malle or Guerlain, I can't decide!

Shinyshoes2 · 03/12/2015 20:32

I'm surprised no-ones mentioned Lalique ... Lovely lovely classic ( perles de Lalique ) and longevity

Greengardenpixie · 03/12/2015 20:38

I love Miss Dior originale. I also love the new one - Miss Dior. I find it musky. So i suppose I would go for Dior.

Dungandbother · 03/12/2015 22:09

Penhaligan or Jo Malone

tigerdriverII · 03/12/2015 22:13

Guerlain, definitely.

Lenazabaglione · 03/12/2015 23:19

Chanel, without doubt. Have worn No. 5 for the last 25 years.

AlwaysBeYourself · 04/12/2015 02:16

Chanel No 5 and Coco

ProjectPerfect · 04/12/2015 03:35

Chanel

JT05 · 04/12/2015 08:16

Chanel No 5, Miss Dior.

But picked up Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue at the airport, cheap, as I'd not packed any perfume. Now I'm hooked on it! I can't believe I'd not tried it before!

KitZacJak · 04/12/2015 13:15

Coco Mademoiselle

MountainDweller · 05/12/2015 01:28

Jo Malone - I have a few and they cover different moods/seasons.

Calvin Klein might run a close second though - Euphoria, Truth and Aqua di Gio.

But my other big favourites are all from different brands... Tom Ford Black Orchid, Hermes Un Jardin sur le Nil and (waves to PP who mentioned Lalique) Lalique Amethyst - gorgeous bottle too.

Sorry I think I cheated Blush
