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

Just pink from next. Always get comments on how nice it is.

JorisBonson · 01/09/2020 16:17

Zara perfumes are my go to for day to day wear - I want to save my nice ones for nice days, not just going to work.

Gardenia was my favourite but sadly discontinued

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 01/09/2020 16:27

@Graffitiqueen someone at work wears Light Blue and smells incredible! Tried it on my skin and it smells like cat wee Grin. Lucky you that it suits you.

Day to day I wear Calvin Klein Women. It’s a lovely clean daytime scent. Horrible bottle with a creepy eye on it though. It’s not bargain bucket but not £££ either.

doubleshotespresso · 01/09/2020 16:46

I second Zara perfumes 👍🏻

OhCrapOhDear · 01/09/2020 16:49

I wear j’adore everyday.

Also very partial to Stella by Stella McCartney but that’s my winter scent

workshyfop · 01/09/2020 16:51

Shay & Blue Blood Oranges

kemosabeimalone · 01/09/2020 16:52

Tempo by Diptyque. It’s a lovely woody patchouli. Very warm and comforting.

GroupSects · 01/09/2020 16:53

I always get asked what I’m wearing when I use Ariana Grande’s Cloud.
And I love Lush Twilight.
Lush The Comforter smells like Blackcurrant Chewits, it’s so nice.

DH hates that Dove perfume, says it gives him a headache, I really like it though, it smells clean but it’s very strong.

Philosophy Amazing Grace is very clean smelling.

Chloe by Chloe
Ebony Wood from Zara
I have a sample of Narciso Rodriguez which I like but it's a bit much for day, and I have a Gucci Bamboo, bought on a whim as the gift set was reduced, which I always get compliments on

Alexandernevermind · 01/09/2020 16:58

Boss Ma Vie and Miss Dior are favourite / usual for daytime.
Evenings I wear Gaultier, Coco Mademoiselle or Coco.
I've had Paul Smith Rose before too, its lovely and really cheap - I need to get that again so thank you for the reminder Smile

LightOfAThousandStars · 01/09/2020 17:03

Gucci Bamboo is lovely and I've recently bought Lancome Idole that is amazing as well

ChavvySexPond · 01/09/2020 17:42

I swing between Shay & Blue Dandelion Fig, Demeter Fragrance Library Sunshine and Floral Street Wild Vanilla Orchid at this time of year.

tobee · 01/09/2020 19:53

I vary between

Eau Dyanamisante - Clarins
Chance Eau Fraiche - Chanel
Lumiere Doree - Miller Harris
L'Eau D'Issey - Issey Miyake

Fresh and citrusy

shas19 · 01/09/2020 20:04

Calvin Klein CKin2U womens or Jimmy choo

KitMarlowesCodpieceOfthigh · 01/09/2020 20:11

My favourite for everyday - that I think is most me - is Artemisia from Penhaligon's. But this is expensive, so I often wear Yardley's English Lavender. After an hour or so, it smells like Play-Doh on me, which is fine by me!

HarryDaylight · 01/09/2020 20:12

I love Clarins Dynamisante and have worn it for years. It's not loud or in your face.

Zebracat · 01/09/2020 20:12

I like A very small squirt of Lush Karma, with a dab of rose essential oil.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 01/09/2020 20:15

I mix it up. I don't keep perfumes for "best" as such. In rotation currently are:
Dans tes bras -Frederic Malle
Gypsy Water - Byredo
Marc Jacobs Woman ( the original one, though I'm going off it.)
Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille
Tom Ford Champaca Absolute
Penhaligons Halfeti
A Perfume Parlour copy of Acqua di Gio
A Perfume Parlour dupe of Diptyque's Do Son
A Perfume Parlour dupe of Saks Fifth Avenue
Hugo Boss Orange
Bronze Goddess

Fuzzywuzzyhadnohair · 01/09/2020 20:27

I wear Diptyque L’Ombre dans l’eau every day, it’s not cheap but it makes me happy every single day.

Emmie12345 · 01/09/2020 20:30

Mmm anything Miller Harris

Same for me! I love the smell but on me it’s really feeble if that makes sense.

Foxes157 · 01/09/2020 20:49

Armani diamonds rose usually.

ZaraCarmichaelshighheels · 01/09/2020 20:50

I have now started to wear my autumn and winter scents, today I had on Hypnotic Poison, I always get a lot of compliments and I do really like it especially the longevity, but I do think there is a whiff of playdough about it......

loutypips · 01/09/2020 20:51

I love nenuco cologne. It's a lovely fresh scent and I've been complimented on it a few times.

OhDear2200 · 01/09/2020 21:35

Can’t believe everyone has continued to comment seriously on this thread after the bumhole comment.
