What perfume do you wear for everyday?

I have some nice perfumes but feel I am wasting them and would love a cheaper/ clean smelling perfume for work. I like the Nuxe spray and it's very nice.

Any suggestions ? Perhaps one that smells of soap? Grin

I like a cheap as chips one, Next are good as they often do handbag sized mini sprays too.

I like their 'Nude' or 'cashmere' ones. Just pink is a nice everyday type smell too.

L' Occitane cherry blossom also nice

Love the Jo Malone for Zara perfumes. Over summer I've been wearing Waterlily Tea Dress and Vetiver Pamplemousse, and will start wearing Ebony Wood now it's more wintery. They're such a bargain!

OhTheRoses · 31/08/2020 23:07

Estee Lauded Modern Muse eau de Partum
Cartier Baser Vole

For occasions that require heels I like Cartier Panthere

But I do fancy a change but it won't come until the testers come out again.

Le labo the noir - it's more wintery but I love it and wear it all year round. Also really feeling Si by Georgio Armani too.

Littlepond · 31/08/2020 23:10

I use Beyoncé Wild Orchid

Thinkpinkstink · 31/08/2020 23:12

For a fresh, unchallenging, everyday scent I wear Jo Malone Blackberry and Bay. I love the stuff.

sitckmansladylove · 31/08/2020 23:37

wine yep.. that did cross my mind as I typed Grin

Thank You all
Will check out these suggestions

It really depends what type of perfume you like??? you can do those online quiz things to work it out, because there are so many styles- floral, woody, aqua, herbal, unisex, musky etc etc.

I have a Rose by Paul smith which I got on ebay fairly cheap. Also like versace women which is cheapish, but prefer their versace perfume which is more. My favourite is Allure by chanel though.

sitckmansladylove · 31/08/2020 23:47

My favourite are Jean Paul Gautier since I was 20 (not yesterday Grin )
Armani Elle. COCO NOIR (very expensive)
I like Lovely by SJP but a bit tired of it. It's very nice and cheap too.

Lancôme L'adore
Daisy love
Hugo boss - can't remember the name!
Next Cashmere

I swap those around daily

LadyLairdArgyll · 31/08/2020 23:49

none

Franticbutterfly · 31/08/2020 23:52

Le Labo - Another 13
EL - Bronze goddess (when it's warm weather)
Shay and Blue - blood oranges (again when it's warmer)
YSL - Libre
Lancome - Le vie est Belle

OhTheRoses · 31/08/2020 23:58

Interesting about swapping scents daily. Do you not find perfumes mingle on things like coat collars and scarves?

Deathraystare · 01/09/2020 15:16

I don't use the same one every day.

I found my Primark Pomegranate one the other day but am wearing Liz Earle 100 today. I also wear her 15 and have the 9 as well. Also wear Superdrug Bloom Lime and Basil (Jo Malone dupe), or Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass.

TwilightPeace · 01/09/2020 15:20

If you love clean smells then you need Dove oil from the Perfume Parlour website.
It’s gorgeous, super strong so you only need a tiny drop and super cheap. I get compliments on it all the time!

Not sure why people who don’t wear perfume bother commenting on this thread?

RegalRags · 01/09/2020 15:21

Oribe Côte d'Azur
Chloe love story
Jo Malone peony and blush suede.

I do like the next perfumes but find they wear off so quickly, so I don't bother with them anymore.

MJMG2015 · 01/09/2020 15:26

Beautiful - Ester Lauder.

@glitterballbag

Charlie (blue) was my perfume for years. Might have to get a small bottle!!

Miseryisabutterfly · 01/09/2020 15:28

I wear givenchy l’interdit every day but should really switch to something cheaper. I’m going to try the Zara jo Malone ones.

Miseryisabutterfly · 01/09/2020 15:29

I did laugh at bumhole being a favourite too 😂

Imissmoominmama · 01/09/2020 15:29

L’Occitaine Cherry Blossom, usually.

I’ve just got myself onto the Ffern ledger though, so I’m eagerly awaiting the September delivery.

doubleshotespresso · 01/09/2020 15:30

I use mainly Clarins Eau Dynsmisante
Penhaligons Empress
L'Occitane Orchid & Neroli
Gucci Envy (it's discontinued so trying to eeek this one out)
Anna Sui (blue bottle can't remember name)
Elizabeth Arden Green Tea
Lancôme Eau fraiche

I kind of mix them around as and when

SunnySomer · 01/09/2020 15:33

Caudalie Thé des Vignes is nice and clean. A little boy at school said “ooh miss you smell of salad” which I HOPE means fresh and verdant

*bumhole that's my absolute favourite perfume

Just had a real good laugh when I read that as I thought you were being sarcastic and you wore the scent of bumhole every day 🤣🤣🤣*

😂 Me too, I haven’t laughed out loud at a post for so long!

Graffitiqueen · 01/09/2020 15:54
