Give me your best perfume purchase

[Zolaanna]

What is your favourite perfume? Am looking for inspiration for my next purchase.
I do have a bit of a perfume collection and want s treat for Christmas.
Any ideas welcome

Lancome idole intense its very new to market and it’s divine
It’s a floral with warm amber undertone
Silage is huge,last ages smells great

I love this and very much associate it with being an Autumn/Winter scent as it's spicy and intense when up close but not overpowering www.joloves.com/pink-vetiver-50ml.html

I really like CK Eternity Moment - it's light enough for everyday, but distinctive enough to feel special

Shay and Blue- Black Tulip
Liz Earle- No 15

Budget dependent - CoCo Chanel is always my number one. I also love Jo Malone Peony and Blush Suede. Cheaper end of the scale, Next do some lovely fragrances, as do Pacifica.

Chloe Nomade
Lancome Poeme
Elie Saab - these three tie for recent favourites...
But my all time favourite is Coco Mademoiselle.

Lancome Idole and Givenchy l'interdit

My favourite is Baccarat Rouge 540 but it's so expensive.

For more reasonably priced options I love Armani Si and the cherry blossom L'occitane scent (not sure of its proper name)

Thanks for your suggestions

I like Armani Diamonds (esp the violet one, which reminds me of Jo Malone peony but cheaper).

YSL Black Opium is gorgeous. Zara do a great dupe of it called Gardenia.

Narciso Rouge - powdery floral and woody. Little bit different and striking bottle.

My all-time favourite: 24 Faubourg by Hermes. I hesitate to recommend it because once you have experienced it, not thing else ever seems to come close!

Other scents I like:

Chanel Cristalle
Hermes Eau d’orange vert cologne
Prada Infusion d’Iris
Givenchy Amarige
Penhaligon As Sawira

Silage is huge,last ages smells great

Am I bad for laughing?

Silage is grass and stuff that is squished together in black plastic bags where it ferments a bit and goes brown, before being fed to farm animals. You don’t want to smell like that.

Sillage, on the other hand...

HErmes Rue Fauborg

Haha not bad in the least😀 I’ve described smelling like a wurzel

Clinique Wrappings.

Its a great wintry, christmassy perfume smelling of Christmas trees, snowy mountains and fresh air. It's only released around Christmas time and can often be found on sale afterwards.

Diorissimo
Jo Malone myrrh and tonka bean
H and M t-shirt

Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka. Absolutely amazing. I treated myself to a bottle in London early last year. My 6 year old son was horrified at the cost and shouted to DP and his brother "Mummy's just spent £76 on a bottle of perfume". I still have about 10ml left of a 50ml bottle, so I actually think it is good value, when I wear it quite a lot. I also love Frederic Malle "Portrait of a Lady" and YSL "Elle".

Cheap and cheerful but my all time favourite is Cerutti 1881. I first bought it after smelling it on my housemate about 22 years ago, and have always had a bottle on the go ever since. I have many other perfumes but always find myself wearing this if I need cheering up.

I had this for a few years in the 90s. Loved it, but then it was discontinued. Where, or where can I get it? Didn't know they released it again... round Chrsitmas only?

If you can you can’t beat Chanel no 5 for the winter abs No 19 for the summer
Other than that I love True Grace by Philosophy and Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker - always on offer in Superdrug
If you like heavier scents then Euphoria by Calvin Klein

The green Chanel chance is my absolute favourite

Also jo Malone pear and English freesia

Has to be Angel.
Also love Boss The Scent although it's nothing like Angel.

Chanel Allure
Diptyque Vetyverio
