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 Grin

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

Charlie Red 😂. For some reason it suits me and people are really surprised when I tell them what it is. Good job as it matches my budget.

Mugler - Alien.
It's my smell

LunaNorth · 03/07/2021 17:35

Penhaligon’s Bluebell.

Or Santal 33.

Or Gigi by Jardin D’Ecrivains.

Or…

@Nordstrom that was my favourite too 😭

Grenlei · 03/07/2021 17:36

Cartier Must.

My favourite perfume ever. Lots of others I like, but I'd happily wear just that one.

AnnaMagnani · 03/07/2021 17:36

Seeing as it's only one Caron Parfum Sacre.

If I could have 2 it would be half the year Guerlain Apres l'Ondee and the other half Guerlain L'Heure Bleue.

Nanasueathome · 03/07/2021 17:37

Jo Malone Gardenia

L'Occitaine Vanille & narcissi (sadly discontinued 😭😭)

Winter : Chanel Allure
Summer : Jo Malone Earl Grey & Cucumber

Only ever wear these two - have worn Allure since it’s release

Penhaligon's Empressa

D&G The One

DuckingMel · 03/07/2021 17:40

Clinique - Simply (of course discontinued!)

JamesHetfieldspick · 03/07/2021 17:41

Jean Paul Gaultier classique..my husband bought it for me years ago as a christmas present off the cuff and it was a hit!

Inextremis · 03/07/2021 17:42

Estée by Estée Lauder.

CookPassBabtridge · 03/07/2021 17:42

DKNY Be delicious, the standard green apple one. It smells so good on me and people always react as if they've been magnetised to me when I wear it. Not keen on the other versions though!

SionnachRua · 03/07/2021 17:43

Valentino Donna.

If I could stretch it to two, it'd be Armani Si (which I adore but is a bit heavy for day wear).

Disfordarkchocolate · 03/07/2021 17:43

E by Avery. It makes me feel fabulous. My husband finds it sexy too.

jennyt82 · 03/07/2021 17:44
