Desert Island Perfumes

I've not worn perfume much since my first pregnancy and just trying to get back into it but not sure where to start. I'd like to broaden my horizons a bit and try some new fragrances so wondering what people would list as their top eight must haves.

Tricky!!!

And Giorgio Armani Aqua di Gio (scent of DH) 😍

The last ones I had were by Chanel (Allure and Chance), Jo Malone (English Pear & Freesia and Blue Agava & Cacao) and Lush (Sun). I haven't actually been in a department store to smell perfumes for a long time and took my four year old the other day and he surprised me by really enjoying it! I ended up totally overwhelmed by the smells and bought a small bottle of Mon Guerlain which they were promoting in store.

I can't do only eight. I can't even do only thirty. In truth I would have to take all my perfumes, especially as on a desert island I would have time to finally write some notes on them!
These are a few I have worn recently and thought that they were quite unique and irreplaceable:

Guerlain Metallica
Helmut Lang by Helmut Lang
Annick Goutal Eau de Sud
Creed Irisia
Chanel Bois des Iles
Hermes Osmanthe Yunnan
Amouage Fate
Hermes Hiris
Guerlain Grosellina
Diptyque L’Ombre dans L’eau
Guerlain Terracotta le parfum (which smells like a desert island!)
Frederic Malle Iris Poudre
Armani Bois d’Encens
Bottega Veneta Eau Legere
Parfumerie General Louanges Profanes
Molinard Habanita
Floris Malmaison

Coromandel
