I need a 'knock your socks off' strong perfume!

[TWOBANANAS]

Any suggestions? Open to all types, just want it to last all day and smell beautiful.

Monocule 01 is gorgeous and it works on pheromones! Not everybody can smell it but when they do you know about it!!!

Yes, please don't wear any of them if you work in my office or use public transport!

Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir.

marthamydear, maybe one day we will smell each other in a crowd! I love it,

katseyes7, I have just looked up Elixir - see my comments about CdeG Incense D'avigon.

It has been discontinued. I don't think there is a lot of call for church seduction but I am all for it!

Armani Si. The one with Cate Blanchette advertising.

Samsara..you cannot get it off!

InspectorPenguin where did you order samples from?

Or does anyone have anywhere to reccomend for buying samples.

Thanks

Another vote for poeme by Lancôme, this and givenchy organza are my two winter faves.....also samsara is lovely and strong.

Karma by Lush
Dior Addict
J'adore Dior

Samples:

scent samples UK

nose In France, you put your favourite scents in and it suggests you some new ones to try, very reasonable but be warned, IMO they "suggest" whatever they've got around. I did discover one of my all time loves Cuir Cordoba by Keiko Mecheri this way though

perfumed court In the US and ££££s (IMO) but with a vast repertoire and back catalogue

skins in the Netherlands

Surrender to Chance

And then there is always ebay and etsy. You can get decants quite reasonably. Also, many of the perfume houses will offer sampling sets (Liz Earle, L'Artisan Parfumeur, etc)

Dior and Chanel are well-known for not liking their perfumes sold as decants or samples so are difficult to get hold of. You often find their perfumes listed on ebay etc but when you try and buy, you can have the purchase blocked. Then you need to contact the seller and ask them to remove the brand name from the listing. I snagged a vintage full bottle of Diorissimo for 15 euro in this way.
