Embarrassing / odd perfumes that you love

I am this close to buying a bottle of Dermot O'Leary's Bergamot and Basil fragrance from M&S. It's gorgeous - fresh and clean and really lovely, not particularly masculine. And only £22. If I do go for it, I will have to hold that no one asks me what I'm wearing!

Anyone got an odd or surprising scent that they love?

Ariana Grande I'm 29 Blush I pinch DD's. It's really lovely.

I won one of the Britney ones in a raffle, I love it!

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/09/2017 20:09

That sounds lovely OP,I love bergamot.

Jessica Simpson Fancy Nights.

It's a proper old lady fragrance and a very divisive one. I love it. It smells like oakmoss and patchouli and musty old books. It's dank and mossy and smells like laying on the damp ground in a forest at dusk while wearing a velvet cloak.

It's one of my favourite scents for cold autumnal big jumper days.

Discontinued now but the Colleen fragrance was lovely!

Lottapianos · 30/09/2017 20:18

Jesus, I remember you posting about that one before. It sounds fabulous. I might try to find a bottle online

  1. It's been around donkeys years, but love the smell.

I adore Ralph by Ralph Lauren and Versace Red Jeans.

I buy both for my daughter but steal both.

Nothing compared to my friend who's signature scent is Jade Goody Shh though. She's been known to fake a severe choking fit when asked what she's wearing.

Youth dew, when it warms is has a lovely smell :)

QueenofLouisiana · 30/09/2017 20:28

4711 for me too- or even the Boots version in a huge plastic bottle.

Today I am wearing... Justin Bieber.

Not literally, get your minds out of the gutter! Wink
But I like the smell of it. In my defence, it was given to me.

I’m early 30s and have worn poem by Lancôme every winter for 8ish years Blush lots of people always ask me and always say they thought it was an “old ladies” perfume Blush

RainyApril · 30/09/2017 20:29

JLo. And quite a few of the Next ones.

BusySittingDown · 30/09/2017 20:29

It fades quickly though.

opheliacat · 30/09/2017 20:31

Busy

I like you

But fuck me, that's low! How did this even come about?

Britney spears fantasy, got a bottle for my 8th birthday and haven't stopped using it since. It's only £8 a bottle now

YouWereRight · 30/09/2017 20:33

I love English Daisy by Yardley.

TriHard27 · 30/09/2017 20:35

Versace Red Jeans. Can be found in a Poundstretchee near you but I really love it. And not even in an ironic, sentimental, teenage Christmas kind of way. Grin

taytotayto111 · 30/09/2017 20:36

I used to love jade goodys perfume. Can you still get it. I'd love another bottle.

motheroreily · 30/09/2017 20:36

I love Charlie red. It reminds me of being a teenager. It’s a heavy smell but I love it

Eveninties · 30/09/2017 20:36

Britney spears curious and Jennifer Lopez still.

2ducks2ducklings · 30/09/2017 20:36

Tommy Girl, it reminds me of being 16 again.

Justgivemesomepeace · 30/09/2017 20:37

Anais anais. Blush love it

JesusTapdancingChrist · 30/09/2017 20:38

Lotta I do like to mention it on these threads. It's just so far removed from what you would expect from a fragrance by Jessica Simpson Grin.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/09/2017 20:39

I love AnaisGrin
