What perfume do you wear?

Just curious. I just went to re-order my favourite daily perfume and I was thinking that I've been wearing the same one on and off for about 20 years. It's something I don't think much about, but I used to always be shopping around for new scents. I wear CK Contradiction day to day, and Dior Dune if I'm going out. Does anyone have similar tastes and have any new suggestions? I like perfumes that are powdery and floral without being sweet, and slightly more musky for evening. CK Obsession was a favourite in the past but I now find it too heavy. Wondering if I'm missing out or if I should just stick to what I know and like!

I wear penhaligon's ellenisia and chanel coco mademoiselle. The problem usually is that whenever I try to buy a new scent I get overwhelmed with many new and different smells and then I get a headache. It's very difficult to decide too.

Stella McCartney Pop I love it very light and citrusy so might not be for you though

PutYourBracesTogether · 29/03/2018 09:43

I wear Dolce Vita by Christian Dior.
Quite heavy for day wear so I'm currently wearing Sì by Armani.

You might like SJPs Lovely. I got it as a present recently and its now my "work" perfume as its light and inoffensive.

I prefer boozier brasher louder ones on my days off (sitting here dripping with L'Air de Rien and I smell FAHBulous)

I rotate between Chanel Coco mademoidelle, Dior Pure Poison and Britney Spears Fantasy. I like heavier perfumes.

tigercub50 · 29/03/2018 11:28

I still like Obsession but also wear Roberto Cavalli & Coco Chanel for “ posh”. I also like YSL fragrances including Rive Gauche which reminds me of great times in London in my 20s.

purplecorkheart · 29/03/2018 11:35

Jo Malone Peoney and Blush or Jo Malone Wild Bluebell.

winterisstillcoming · 29/03/2018 11:39

Bvlgari

Tobleronemonster · 29/03/2018 11:41

Coco mademoiselle, Chanel. Have never found anything close. It's gorgeous.

I used to really like Curious, Britney Spears Confused It doesn't last long, but I loved the fragrance! It reminds me so much of my holidays in Spain when I was young, carefree, no kids, no worries.... Sigh.
