Allure by Chanel.

BarryCryer · 18/05/2017 08:26

Guerlain L'Instant Magic or Cacharel Lou Lou. I'm a big fan of powdery scents.

Auchan · 18/05/2017 08:29

Chanel Chance (Green one) - autumn,winter

Or Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue - spring, summer

carbqueen88 · 18/05/2017 08:31

Tom Ford - Black Orchid
Aerin - Amber Musk (very hard to get hold of, Estee Lauder's granddaughter = Aerin)

Flower by Kenzo. The only perfume I have worn for 20 years.

mycavitiesareempty · 18/05/2017 08:46

Molecule01 for me too. It's quite entertaining to watch people taking deep sniffs and trying to work out where it's coming from. Like a perfume that's ... not. I buy the ripoff version from amazon now as it's exactly the same.

GingersHaveSouls · 18/05/2017 09:26

Anything by Thierry Mugler.

WrongPlaceWrongTime · 18/05/2017 09:32

Thierry Mugler Innocent and Alien. I regularly get asked what I'm wearing when I wear either. My parents still manage to pick up Innocent duty free for me every year, can't seem to find it elsewhere.

Hidillyhoneighborinos · 18/05/2017 10:00

Top favourite is Opium

followed by Shalimar

CoughingForWeeks · 18/05/2017 11:09

Feu d'Issey but it was discontinued a dog's age ago. The nearest I've found is Grey Flowers by Reiss; I get compliments every time I wear it because it smells so unusual.

I also love Black Orchid by Tom Ford but it's ££££

WindwardCircle · 18/05/2017 11:20

Creed's Virgin Island Water, but I have a dupe not the real thing as it's insanely expensive, A Scent by Issey Miyake which I think might be discontinued now but I have a big bottle and a little goes a long way, and 4160 Tuesdays Dark Heart of Old Havana.

StoatofDisarray · 18/05/2017 11:24

Eau des merveilles by Hermes. Salt, orange, wood: think bleached driftwood from a pine tree on a Californian beach on a cool day. Or something. I cannot get enough of it.

OCSockOrphanage · 18/05/2017 11:35

I couldn't pick one, but Prada Iris, and Eau des Merveilles are regulars, along with Heeley Cardinal in winter and Sel Marin in summer.

Willow2017 · 18/05/2017 12:36

Day
Anais Anais
Marc Jacobs Daisy

Evening
Hugo Boss Red
Black Opium

I loved Juliette has got a gun oil fiction when I tried it. Why does it have to cost ££££££? Sad

Lanaa · 18/05/2017 13:58

Robert Piguet Fracas. It's beautiful. Too expensive though.

MusicToMyEars800 · 18/05/2017 14:04

Oooh it's hard to choose just one so here are a few of my favourites:
Giorgio Armani - she
Giorgio Armani - Armani Code
YSL - Parisienne
Chanel - Allure ( the one with the dark pink lid )
YSL- Black Opium
Dolce and Gabbana - Femme
Rock n Rose - Valentino ( they discontinued it though SadAngry )
OK I am going to stop there.

Talisin · 18/05/2017 14:36

Poirier d'un Soir by Miller Harris. Works at all times of the year, day and evening and has on occasion caused people to stop me in the street to ask what it is. Just gorgeous.

Winterc00kie · 18/05/2017 14:39

Day; Nuxe Prodigieux
Night; Elie Saab - Le parfum

BorisTrumpsHair · 18/05/2017 14:55

Feminite Du Bois - Serge Lutens
Maxed Out - 4160 Tuesdays

MrsScrubbingbrush · 18/05/2017 15:50

Tom Ford - Black Orchid

FrustratedFrugal · 18/05/2017 16:51

Véga, Mitsouko, Shalimar.
L'air du Desert Marocain.

ThreeForAPound · 18/05/2017 16:54

I'm a complete perfume whore. Couldn't pick a favourite in a month of Sundays. I change my tastes like I change my pants Grin.

Today its 4160 Tuesdays Tokyo Spring Blossom. Tomorrow, who knows? Wink

Garnethair · 18/05/2017 16:55

Tom Ford, the new one in the gold bottle, something orchid.

VintagePerfumista · 18/05/2017 17:02

Another one here who couldn't pick one Ones I am never without would be Chanel 19, Anais Anais, Diorella (vintage) Dioressence (vintage) Givenchy III, Paris (vintage)Ysatis.

Other favourites (at the moment) for me would be Annick Goutal Eau du Sud, Yardley Jade, Miss Dior (originale) L'Air du Desert Marocain, Lonestar Memories, L'Heure Bleue, Heritage.

Erm, etc.

If I had to only take one, forever and forever it would be a close thing between the 19 and the Anais Anais because both take me to the same place. Long ago, and far away. And that ain't bad. Smile
