Which perfume is your go-to lately?

I'm 30 and I was using Olympia by paco rabanne (vanilla-ish) in the colder months but have now switched to juicy coutures new eau de toilette 'rock the rainbow' (light and fruity). I've also been using a little of of shaun mendezs as I have a couple of testers.

For dates/nights out ect... I always wear Armani code (the original blue one) because I think it's quite a seductive scent and because I love it :)

Do you have any favourite perfumes? What has been your go-to perfume this season?

Oscar de la renta

Broadlygotit · 04/05/2019 23:09

Nobody seems to like my favourite! Prada Amber Blush
I love it and get compliments when I’m wearing it but I have never met anyone else who wears it Confused

GirlGang89 · 04/05/2019 23:13

Day: Chanel chance
Evening: 1 million ladies one / black opium
Work days: Tommy girl (100ml bottle normally for £16 fragrance direct or boots!)

Fuck friction for every day -my boys got me a set for mother's Day cos they thought the bottle looked nice so I have the perfume at home and the mist and hand lotion at work.

Lancome miracle for special occasions. Fave perfume ever and it lasts ages

Elmashbu · 05/05/2019 08:22

Fcuk friction. Sorry my phone is a potty mouth

graziemille567 · 05/05/2019 08:43

Chance by Chanel is my all time favourite, but I also love Jean Paul Gaultier Classique for evening (smells so sexy) and Charlotte Tilbury Scent of a Dream. It's a strong scent so a little goes a long way, and my DH absolutely loves the smell of it on me.

JaneEyre07 · 05/05/2019 08:49

Days I wear Dior Addict (the pink one) or Estee Lauder Modern Muse.
Evenings I love Black Opium or Tom Ford Black Orchid.

A cheapy day one I've been really surprised by is SJP Stash Unspoken, about £25 for a massive bottle and it's a light woody scent that's very comforting. Doesn't last long and I really wish she'd join up with a better quality perfumier as the fragrances she does are great.

And my DD ordered a bottle of DKNY stories last week - that is gorgeous, and a very wearable day perfume. I've just ordered 100ml from All Beauty as it's just under £50 instead of around £80.

Prada Iris in the summer
Jo Malone Pomegranate in the winter

beanaseireann · 05/05/2019 10:01

Oops got the name wrong if my everyday perfume. It's JustJack Neroli, a dupe of Tom Ford. It's a lovely, light,fresh cologne smell.

Fazackerly- get the Iris dupe from PP, it's got even more of that wonderful soapy iris kick. My comfort food perfume.
Broadly- dd has the Prada amber. It's lovely, as are most of that range. I have the Iris and the Iris Cedre, dd the Amber and the Amande.

Fazackerley · 05/05/2019 14:38

TheCanterburyWhales I do have that! I spray it so much I had to get something I could afford! I'm addicted.

TheCanterburyWhales · 05/05/2019 15:10

It's gorgeous, isn't it?
I've tried lots of iris perfumes, but it's my favourite. So soapy and clean!

Aveeno2017 · 05/05/2019 16:11

Marks and Spencer Patchouli and Jimmy Choo Blossom.

TheGirlOnTheLanding · 05/05/2019 16:26

Swapping between DKNY (green tomato freshness) and Inis, a cheap bottle but oceanic/sea salt really appeals at the moment - I've gone right off sweet perfume.

Thisismynewname123 · 05/05/2019 17:41

For daytime, Ellie Saab Girl of Now.
Evening, Chanel Mademoiselle
Anytime, Lancome La Vie Est Belle.

redannie118
is nina richi apple the red apple bottle? I love that too but it just doesn't seem to last on me long.

I find the same with dior poison girl, it's a little similar but just doesn't last.

thisismynewnam123 Someone finally saying la vie est belle, I thought it would be way more common as it is a nice one.

Out of interest has anyone tried Rock n Rose? The original. Not normally a floral fan but this one I really do like.

Oh and to those who use Elie saab girl of now have you tried the other versions of it? (shine and forever). I love the original but wonder if the other two would be nicer.

I seem to have gotten stuck in a Clinique Aromatics in Black rut, but it's not a bad rut to be in, I also like Balenciaga Florabotanica or Rosabotanica but I think they have discontinued one of them sadly.

Carpetburns · 08/05/2019 17:29

Love Chanel. Current favourite is Gabrielle

wichitalinemanswoman · 08/05/2019 17:59

Day: Calvin Klein Escape and if I'm going out in the evening I wear Calvin Klein CK One Gold.

Elletine · 08/05/2019 19:04

Normal day: D&G L'Imperatrice
Special day: Santal 33 by Le Labo

Chicinwellies · 08/05/2019 22:03

Ellapaella what does the Tiffany fragrance smell of, and did it last during the day?

Miseryisabutterfly · 08/05/2019 22:27

Givenchy l'interdit. It’s divine. I’ve never had so many compliments about a perfume.

I also love j’adore by Dior. It was my wedding perfume and I’ve been buying it ever since (14 years!).

ArieltheMermaid1720 · 08/05/2019 22:33

Workday lady million or Elie Saab
Weekend dyptique philosykos
