What perfume do you wear?

[scotjls]

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!

SJP Stash - lovely smoky woody scent, not floral
Modern Muse - Estee Lauder. Very good for day and night.
Flowerbomb - Victor and Rolf. Again, day or night, quite sweet floral.
Dior Addict Pink one - lovely light floral
Dior Addict Blue one - one of night only but divine.

Penhaligons Oeu de nil

Chanel no19

My daughter uses Signature by Shawn Mendes, it is gorgeous and I'd be using it if she hadn't found it first! I have/had similar perfume likes to you OP

Dior addict
Valentino Donna

Sorry those were recommendations for you....although I do wear addict
If you like powdery scents you can't bear cashmere by next 😁

Waw, thanks for all of these suggestions. I am inspired to go out testing! It gets so overwhelming though I can only manage about 2 at a time! I love the 'if you like x you might like y' link. Thank you all. X

Marc Jacobs Dot, Penhaligon's sample set, l'occitane cherry blossom gel, an M&S true red.

Dior Miss Dior Originale
Armani Si

My night perfume is Clinique Happy Heart (citrus floral). Daytime I alternate between Coach (more musky) and Marc Jacob's Blue Daisy (fresh)

My every day perfume is Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming, my evening/going out perfume is classic Miss Dior.

scotjls I love Dune, too. Have you tried Guerlain Samsara? It’s not similar, exactly, but it evokes the same feeling in me - it’s a dry and woody floral, but the sandalwood also gives it a thick, creamy, luscious vibe. I absolutely love it. Apparently the PP dupe is decent, too.

I don’t have a signature scent, myself . This week I’ve worn Diorissimo, Chloe Narcisse, Queen of Hearts and Fancy Girl (two cheap celeb fragrances), Burberry for women and Rochas Femme. Totally bonkers array of wildly different fragrances. It’s an addiction .

I love Paco Rabanne - Lady Million

Chanel Chance

All my friends are always buying new perfumes but I've always stuck to the same one.
People recognize you by your fragrance.
My other half would be devastated if i changed it, smells evoke the most powerful memories and feelings

Paco Rabanne Olympea
Anna Sui Dreams

At the moment I’m wearing Armani Diamonds Rose or Next Just Pink for work
V&R Flowerbomb or Bonbon for daytime
Always Elie Saab le parfum for evenings

I've been wearing Le Labo Rose 31 for last 9 years! Love it - instantly makes me happy.

Day to day I mostly wear the original Marc Jacobs - the one that smells of gardenia. I love it.
Recently I've also been wearing Dear Polly by Vilhelm Parfumerie which is delicious. Also TF Vert Boheme, Aesop's Marrakesh Intense and TF Tobacco Vanille.

Currently lusting after the Frederick Malle Dries van Noten but I can't justify the ££££.

Just ordered a PP dupe of JM Oud and Bergamot which I'm hoping will be good. I have their copy of Byredos Black Saffron which isn't bad but the Black Opium copy is too sweet and has no longevity. They can be a bit hit and miss, but at those prices it doesn't hurt to make a mistake ( or three)

Winter - Penhaligon Artemisia
Rest of year Chanel Cristalle or Lauder White Linen. I combine them.
Am three trick pony and have worn Cristalle and White Linen since my teens - am now 46. I love them.

Liz Earle no 15
Chanel beige

For best (or if I need cheering up) Miller Harris - Poirier d’un Soir.

Otherwise:

SJP - Lovely and Next - Paradise in the summer
Angel Schlesser - Flor De Naranjo and DKNY - Woman in the spring
Estee Lauder- Cinnabar, Next - Gold and YSL - Opium (what’s the PP dupe called, pretty please?) in the winter

Randomly: Calvin Klein - Obsession, Next - Cashmere, Next - Rose Quartz, Jessica Simpson - Fancy Nights, Next - Sparkle, Paul Smith - Rose, Estee Lauder - Youth Dew, Katy Perry - Killer Queen. Quite a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head!

Abercrombie and Fitch First Instinct, Fierce for Women, Wakely. All really lovely, and smell nice on me. I must have funny skin as a lot of the popular fragrances don't suit me at all.

Hermes eau des merveilles.
