Just that really, I was asked today by a (very lovely looking) chap what perfume I was wearing, and would love to know what everyone else gets asked about fragrance wise. It was Alien Absolue btw.

Today I am wearing Eau de Dynamisante. I hugged a colleague (its not like that... it was his birthday before you all ask... Grin ) and he said I smelled great. Just wait till he smells me in 3 weeks.... Wink

I've ordered the £17 dupe from Amazon. Hope it's a good copy. The reviews are good.

I'm always getting compliments (okay so maybe not from strangers!) on Nude by Next, £12 for a 100ml bottle. Every time I go for a bottle of perfume, I go with the intention of buying something different for a change, but end up buying Nude, it's a firm favourite, have had a few people ask if I'm wearing Coco mademoiselle instead when I'm wearing it!

I have the I can't smell myself thing with Coco Mademoiselle as well. I can smell it for a short while, but halfway through the day I feel like it has gone. But then dd will say oh you smell lovely or something like that, and I really cannot smell it at all.

Had another compliment for portrait of a lady this morning

Knowing by Estée Lauder is the one that people always ask me about.

Flower by Kenzo and Lovely by SJP

Glamorousglitter · 10/07/2017 06:20

Miumiu - the newer summery one - have gotten lots of asks about what it is and comments on 'you smell nice' dh even asked for a spray on himself (jokingly but kinda not lol)

And florabotanica - I have a large bottle of it bought recently but unsure whether to crack it open or not wish I had some samples to check it again as it was kind of unusual

Oblomov17 · 10/07/2017 07:08

Watching with interest. Thinking of trying a few of these.

whyhastherumgone · 10/07/2017 12:00

I am so suggestible - just purchased the Amazon Tribute perfume Grin - says it won't be here til end of July but looking forward to trying it, have wanted Molecule for ages just can't stretch to the cost!

Scrumpington · 10/07/2017 13:15

I'm wearing that Amazon Molecule knock off today and two people have asked me what it is.

murphys · 19/09/2017 12:14

Just reviving this thread, to make a huge announcement.. Grin

So after waiting for 14 weeks, I finally received my Tribute 01.. I really thought it had gone MIA, but it has arrived, looking rather worse for wear.... damaged in transit...

But I did email them to say that I had finally received it, and quite unexpectedly he is sending me another... as mine is only half full and has no lid.

I have worn it for two days now. My dc don't seem to be all that enthralled about it, and I have had not one marriage offer as yet Grin, or even a 'what is that you are wearing' comment. But I like it, and I can definitely smell it on myself. Although now, half way through the day I just get a whiff of it every now and then, rather than a constant smell like when I applied it in the morning.

In the interim though, I did invest in Clarins Eau de Rescourccante. I thought it was just ok when I tried it before, but found it at such a good price that I just got it anyway. And I really do like it a lot now after wearing a few times.
