Perfume for my wedding day

I am getting married next month and would love recommendations for a long lasting fresh clean smelling perfume. I want something different to my everyday perfumes (Hugo Deep Red, Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet and Penhaligons Juniper Sling) any ideas very welcome!

I wore Happy by Clinique. 20 years later it’s still my go-to perfume. Maybe I would have worn Happy Heart if it had bern available then.

I used Jo Malone Tuberose Angelica- it's one of their intense colognes so has more whiff. I really like it, but fragrance is really personal so I would try to have a sniff before you buy anything. However rumour has it Jo Malone are doing one of their spend £70+ and get a free gift thing next week, so if there is something you fancy it's a good time to buy.

Diptyque Sens?
Any of the 3 varieties of Lancome O D'......?
L'eau D'issey?
Elizabeth Arden White Tea/Green Tea?

Eternity by Calvin Klein.

I wore red roses by Jo Malone - me, my mum and my bridesmaid went to a "scent consultation" (basically a free hand and arm massage and an opportunity to have a good sniff) in store and picked it out. It's free, you just have to book online Smile

I got married last year. I wanted a fresh light smelling perfume as well. I got a perfume consultant type person in Debenhams. She took me straight to Perla. I loved it. I even got the male one for DH.

Sassandfaff1 · 14/05/2019 21:51

La Perla*

LorelaiRoryEmily · 14/05/2019 21:54

I wore Hugo Boss The scent. Love it. Dh bought it for me(I chose it) he wore the male version. Puts me right back at the altar every time I wear it.

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 14/05/2019 22:01

I wore Chanel mademoiselle

Thedarklady · 14/05/2019 22:04

If you do like Jo Malone, they sell some of their 100ml versions with a bridal lace design printed onto the glass of the bottle. Perhaps Pear & Freesia or the Nectarine Blossom & Honey would be nice? They're doing an offer soon as well.

Furthermore, Perfume Parlour sell Jo Malone roll on perfume oil copies (in tiny sizes too) - so you could apply the PP oil and then spritz on the JM original and that way, the scent will last.

If you like tuberose, try Amarige (anagram of the French for marriage!) or Estée Lauder's Tuberose Gardenia. Both beautiful white floral scents.

Stravapalava · 14/05/2019 22:57

I wore Armani Diamonds on my wedding day. It might be a bit "sweet" for your specification but it's very fresh.

wildhairdontcare · 14/05/2019 23:02

Jo Malone wild bluebell was my something blue! I layered it with pear and freesia body cream.

I love Burberry body not too strong but lasts long and lovely smell. Also a fan of the miss dior perfumes.

Mitsouko67 · 16/05/2019 21:29

Diorissimo was mine. Nice for this time of year as it's lily of the valley.

WeMarchOn · 16/05/2019 21:32
