So I'm looking for a new everyday perfume that lasts a while to treat myself. I don't really have a favourite, I've got the Valentino perfume for Christmas but as it was quite pricey I'm not going to use it everyday. Budget is around £40-50 for around 50ml (But might be to get a good deal in the Black Friday sales) I'm 25 so if you are of a similar age what is your go to day to day perfume? I've smelt quite a lot in Debenhams the other day but once I've smelt a few I can't notice the difference 😂

Paco Rabanne Pure XS for her 😍

MsChatterbox · 25/11/2019 14:32

I have 2 perfumes that I alternate and that one always gets complimented!

Spacerader · 25/11/2019 14:33

Prada candy, but I think it’s about £40-£50 for 30ml.

FrancesFlute · 25/11/2019 14:33

Chanel Chance or Coco Mademoiselle. I know they're so popular, but I've never found anything I like as much!

mossberry · 25/11/2019 14:35

Hugo Boss The Scent or YSL Black Opium.

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 25/11/2019 14:35

I alternate between Marc Jacobs Daisy and Paco Rabanne Black XS

SpeckledyHen · 25/11/2019 14:39

Coco Mademoiselle gets lots of compliments and I always return to it .
On offer in JL at the moment too.

soupforbrains · 25/11/2019 14:40

Gucci Bamboo is my go to

Rather Traumatically they've discontinued it so I've bought it whenever I see it and am dreading the day I finally run out Sad

For you I would recomend Thierry Mugler Angel, or Alien, andother shout for Chanel Chance and YSL Black Opium.

perfumes are such a personal choice though as they blend with your own chemistry. I would suggest picking one perfume you think you might like, using the tester in the shop on your wrists and neck and wearing it for the rest of the day. See if you still like it on yourself at the end of the day.

La Vie est Belle is long lasting and recognizable but it’s very very sweet, a bit like Angel.
So recognizable I only had one bottle. It was more like the perfume was wearing me!

Sgtmajormummy · 25/11/2019 14:47

My signature perfume is Very Irresistible by Givenchy.

moonsandstars · 25/11/2019 15:58

Some good suggestions here thank you will have a look into them all

YSL Black Opium

moonsandstars · 25/11/2019 17:42

@soupforbrains I saw Gucci bamboo in Debenhams for around £42 I'm not sure if there is different ones though!

La vie est belle

JaceLancs · 25/11/2019 19:51

Dior addict or jadore for me
I also like quite a lot of guerlain perfume
Insolence and instant are my favourites
I’m frequently disappointed in how other perfumes just don’t last on me

MissBattleaxe · 25/11/2019 22:30

Gucci Bloom is a fabulous classic floral and my favourite release from the last few years. I'm a perfume blogger and I really recommend the sample boxes from The Perfume Society. It gives you time to get to know a fragrance rather than coming out of Superdrug smelling like a perfume factory (guilty!).

Span1elsRock · 25/11/2019 22:32

I've just got Joy by Dior. It's a really light everyday perfume, but it lasts well and doesn't overpower.

In fact I love it so much I've not touched my other bottles for a month!! DKNY stories is nice for everyday too, and Modern Muse by Estee Lauder. Night time I wear Black Opium... I find it too heavy for day.

FuckKnowsMate · 25/11/2019 22:35

Another one for La Vie Est Belle

Havana7 · 25/11/2019 22:37

Chanel chance or miss charming by Juliette has a gun

PrincessHoneysuckle · 25/11/2019 22:39

Versace Dylan blue is stunning

HundredMilesAnHour · 25/11/2019 22:40

My every day perfume is Blean Woods by Haeckels. Subtle but quite amazing.

And my 'other' perfume is Portrait of a Lady by Frederic Malle. It's actually my post-gym perfume and I love it (but wish it was cheaper!)

WelcomeToMyWorld · 26/11/2019 00:32

Have you tried Chance by Chanel or Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. Both are lovely and aimed at the younger lady.

ThisIsNotMyRealName1 · 26/11/2019 03:07

Current everydays are JPG La Belle and Giorgio Armani Si.

Bluesheep8 · 26/11/2019 09:11

SJP Lovely or Avon Timeless

WeCameToDanceWithTheDead · 26/11/2019 10:33

I'm 27 and love Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay for this time of year. I also like Armarni si and Dkny Fresh Blossom. The last one might be very dated though. I've been wearing it since my early teens and can't seem to give it up Blush.
