Sorry I know threads like this come often but I value your opinions :)

Looking for a new perfume. I like floral, fresh ish, quite sweet, feminine, something to last all day but not be in your face, just that I smell really nice, pretty.

I LOVE Jo Malone peony and blush suede. But looking for a change
I also like
L'occitane arlesienne
Floral street electric rhubarb
As a teen I loved ysl in love again, but this would be too strong for me now (I'm mid 30s)
I also like Coco mademoiselle but only for evening

Elie Saab. The original one.

mynewusernameisthis · 09/01/2021 07:57

Thank you @Othering I've actually tried it, on paper I know I should like it but it wasn't The One (sigh)

Floral Street sell packs of little samples to try and chose a favourite. They're lovely.

SleeplessinEastSussex · 09/01/2021 08:05

Love in white by Creed (expensive though)

clpsmum · 09/01/2021 08:08

Tiffany's

AgnesNaismith · 09/01/2021 08:14

I also loved in love again when I was a teen!

It is very expensive but have you tried Tom Ford - Lost Cherry?
There are some other L’occitane perfumes that are beautiful...a couple of years ago they did a crossover with Pierre Herme which was reintroduced last year - pamplemousse rhubarbe which is beautiful and fresh

OddBoots · 09/01/2021 08:14

My daughter just got Jimmy Choo Blossom Special Edition and that is lovely.

mynewusernameisthis · 09/01/2021 08:16

Thanks @GreeboIsMySpiritAnimal I've actually bought that previously in my quest to find the perfect perfume. Electric rhubarb wasn't in it, I discovered that later somehow, but although I liked a few of them I didn't like them enough to purchase. Gosh maybe I'm a bit fussy?! Grin

I've been looking at Tiffany's for ages wondering, do you mean the original? @clpsmum maybe I'll have to try it

Thank you @SleeplessinEastSussex I'll have a look :)

@agnesNaismith thanks! I'll have a look at the Tom ford. I love so much from l'occitane, I love the cherry blossom scent but not as a perfume. I'm super tempted by the Herbae and have tried it, I do really like it but there's something stopping me from buying it, can't put my finger on what

Thanks @OddBoots I ordered a sample of that last night!

Miss Dior

mynewusernameisthis · 09/01/2021 08:36

Can I add another to my list of things I like -

Prada candy, I think it was florale. I LOVED this but it just didn't last on me

OP posts:
SummaLuvin · 09/01/2021 08:55

Jo Malone - Mimosa and Cardamom
Diptyque - Eau Duelle

My top two at the moment, very different from one another, but lovely.

waltzingparrot · 09/01/2021 09:47

YSL - Paris

mynewusernameisthis · 09/01/2021 11:35

Thank you all :) I am looking up all of these

What about Miss Dior?

mynewusernameisthis · 09/01/2021 14:54

Ooh ok 2 for miss Dior now! I've ordered a sample of blooming bouquet. Does anyone know how they differ?

Pretty scents that come to mind
JM Nectarine and Honey Blossom
Givenchy Irresistible
RL Romance
VS Heavenly - so pretty

I used to love In Love Again - wish it was still available

CeibaTree · 09/01/2021 17:18

How about Luna by Penhaligons?

Cooltalkin · 09/01/2021 17:20

Dolce vita Dior
One of my favourites

BlueSussex · 09/01/2021 18:58

If you like Prada Candy, have you tried YSL Black Opium?

Similar style but might last longer on you?

EvelynBeatrice · 09/01/2021 19:03

Elizabeth Arden ‘Pretty’ is indeed floral and pretty (and inexpensive!)

Fiveletters · 09/01/2021 19:08

I love JM peony and blush suede.
Also love Gucci Flora gorgeous gardenia, Chanel chance eau tendre, D&G l’imperatrice and Lancôme la vie est belle
