Goddess!

NattyGolfJerkin · 02/08/2016 03:53

Original Gucci scent (heavy glass square bottle, dark brown liquid). When Ton Fors was at the helm. Discontinued now but musky sexy heaven. I have a big 100ml and I'm eking it out.

Chanel Coco. Again, it's that dirty sexy smell.

NattyGolfJerkin · 02/08/2016 03:55

Anything fig smells like either coconut (diptique, I'm looking at you) or like cat piss (every other fig scent). It turns rancid on my skin

Wincarnis · 02/08/2016 06:16

Evening - Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan

I swap and change all the time.

My only constant is Chanel No 5 which my (late) dad gave me to wear on my wedding day. So it reminds me of two lovely things Smile.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 02/08/2016 09:20

Prada Infusion D'Iris is my absolute favourite.

So many of you love Coco Mademoiselle.
I hate it.
Anybody else really dislike it?

MoreCrackThanHarlem · 02/08/2016 12:05

All the Mark Jacobs Splash range, Rain, Cotton, Cucumber and especially Pear which is a great day or evening scent.

auldspinster · 02/08/2016 12:08

Am wearing Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Herba Fresca today, lovely and minty.

My all time favourites are Rive Gauche; Mitsouko; Bulgari Black; Amber Sultan; Femme and Shalimar.

FuckyNell · 02/08/2016 12:11

I have

Hypnotic poison
Tom ford soleil blanc
Tom ford white patchouli
Gucci rush
Ysl black opium
Tom ford Santal blush

As you can see I like a strong scent. I also have jo Malone lime basil one but it's too weak so is mostly used as a room fragrance.

Inmy teens I loved

Knowing
Paloma Picasso
Dune
Obsession
Samsara
Eternity

20s

Dune
Allure
coco
No5

There's more I know but that's all I remember atm. It's funny though I've never really stuck with one through the years?

MissBattleaxe · 02/08/2016 12:17

So many of you love Coco Mademoiselle. I hate it. Anybody else really dislike it?

Me. I don;t like it. It's been done to death IMO. It particularly put me off when i was having breakfast in am hotel and a woman many, many tables away had seemingly poured a whole bottle over herself. It's way too much for first thing in the morning.

I can't pick a favourite- but I keep coming back to First by Van Cleef and Arpels, JLo Deseo, Papillon Angeliqie, Gucci Envy ( one bottle open, one back-up), Chanel Cristalle, Chanel Coco, SJP Lovely, Coty L'Aimant, LouLou, E Coudray Rose iris.

Sallystyle · 02/08/2016 12:47

Hypnotic Poison

ArieltheMermaid1720 · 02/08/2016 13:24

I like Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, Estée Lauder sensuous, which makes me think of warm clean skin and Elie Saab. I had a sniff of the Tom Ford Rose perfume in Sephora on holiday and it was a really beautiful scent too, but pricy.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/08/2016 13:26

Earl Grey and Cucumber
Daisy
One that smells just like Dove soap gets the most compliments though!

Branleuse · 02/08/2016 13:52

for autumn/winter I love Santal Blush by Tom Ford, but mostly I wear Vanillary or Smell of Weather Turning by Lush

hollyisalovelyname · 02/08/2016 14:24

Dame what is the name of the Dove smelling one please?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 02/08/2016 14:28

Holly- it's a Perfume Parlour one called Dov Grin even the left in Argos told me I smelled nice!

mumsnit · 02/08/2016 15:21

Very hard to choose but my top scents are probably -
Hypnotic Poison
Olympea
Lolita Lempicka (original one)
Givenchy Very Irresistible
Love Body Shop fragrances - Black Musk and the new Polynesian one for this summer that smells like Bronze Goddess but even nicer!!
