If you could only wear one perfume for the rest of your life.....

[SecretSpAD]

What would it be?

For me, Jo Malone's lime, basil and mandarin. I smell it and it immediately takes me back to hot summer holidays in the Caribbean.....

However. If I started this thread in the winter I'd say chanel coco

Which just demonstrates the impossibility of just choosing one perfume forever, doesn't it!

Tom Ford Velvet Orchid. It goes well on me and has great staying power. The Black Orchid smells like horse piss, which is strange. Not just on me though, my colleague sits next to me and would douse herself in it, I had to ask her to be less liberal.

Chanel chance (green)

Exactly the same as me! Including memories of the Caribbean! Another Jo Malone that I have recently taken a liking to is Wood Sage and Sea Salt, a bit of a departure for me but am loving the smell.

Gucci premiere and Gucci flora are my favourites.

Discontinued now but ghost cherish or v and r bon bon

Estée Lauder Beautiful. Worn it since I was 18. Also Samsara although it's a shadow of itself now sandalwood is banned in perfume. A more recent one is Ysl Libre. I love Lavender and I find this smells soothing(helps my anxiety)

L’Occitane Verbena if it would last more than about 3 minutes!

RussianRuby I got a sample of the verbena this week absolutely gorgeous but by the time I got home, no smell.
Does anyone know anything similar that lasts?

I only ever wear one perfume - have done for years. It’s Paloma Picasso. I discovered it by accident but it is ‘me’.

Try Miller Harris' Dance Amongst the Lace. It's gorgeous and summery and is very similar to L'Occitane's Verbena shower gel. I find that it lasts for a few hours.

Thanks I will look for it

Manifesto by Isabella Rossellini for me too. I've been trying and failing to find something similar for years.

Just wanted to thank whoever mentioned the Chocolate musk oil
It sounded perfect for me so I had a look on Amazon .. cost me £2 and I absolutely love it , roller ball and only 6ml but that's ok

Dontou have one for every day of the week

Oh god a perfume for every day of the week.....it's too tempting 😂

I don't think I could survive with just one. Sorry OP - I have utterly failed to rise to your question

To be fair I can't manage it either!

Does anyone remember Commodity range that was out briefly a few years ago. I fell in love with Book and then it all disappeared before I got a chance to buy some!

Yes. I got the Commodity sample set from Space NK. I still have it.

DKNY golden delicious. I keep coming back to it. I try others but this one feels most 'me'.

Winter - Viktor&Rolf BonBon
Summer - Chanel Chance eau tendre

Another Sea Salt and Sage vote here

Pacifica French lilac perfume. I love it, the smell is definitely me. In wintertime I am partial to a warm vanilla or cinnamon one, but always come back to the lilac.

Another vote for Climat, it was heavenly.
Also Florentyna from M&S
And Teint de Neige (Lorenzo Villoresi)

panache, i started wearing this when i was 17 and the shop i worked in sold this, the other one was tweed, my everyday one at the moment is charlie red.

Lancome miracle - daywear
Givenchy very irresistible- nightwear
