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!

You will all point and laugh at me if I tell you!

Oh, I am not bothered so here goes…

Patchouli by Starchild in Glastonbury.

I absolutely adore it.
Lots of people (preCovid) would stop and ask what I was wearing. It just suits my skin.

I know some people hate so I do apologise if you have ever recoiled in horror!

Dior addict

Chanel no 19. Reminds me of kissing dirty men in basement bars in my youth!!

River Gauche. Reminds me of my mum

[quote Kathunk]@YouHaveNoAuthorityHereJackie there’s a Lancôme one that is very similar smelling, la vie en rose I think it’s called[/quote]
Thanks. I'm going to check that out.

I would love to be able to get ysatis- would take me back to the 80s!

@AintPageantMaterial

Ysatis de Givenchy

I have worn it for 30 years. It makes me feel 20 again.

Can you still buy this? Does it smell the same?!

Ralph by Ralph Lauren

Obsession by Calvin Klein

Can i have a day time and an evening one? Carolina herrera 212 for daytime and Armani Di for the evenings

@YouHaveNoAuthorityHereJackie sorry it’s La Vie Est Belle not Rose

@Peasinthefreezer Fabulous taste. ;) Have you seen there is a new Love in white summer? I am desperate to try it.

This site is good for finding similar perfumes if the one you love has been discontinued

Tough one as I have, and love, so many perfumes!!

Probably it would be Chanel Gabrielle - the Essence flanker because it's such a good all rounder. Others I love are perfect in either summer or winter but not both

First by Van Cleef & Arpels. Total class. I've been wearing it for years and get compliments quite often!

Great. I'll check that website out too. Thanks so much.

Gucci Rush .... I just love it !

Or EL Beautiful.... it's what my dad always bought for me so it reminds me of him

BonBon by Viktor Rolfe… I was a Britney Spears fantasy gal…

Next just pink- it just suits me more than any other perfume. My skin is weird and most perfumes smell weird on me. Plus it is a good all rounder for daytime, nighttime and most of the seasons

Armani Diamonds

…But never buy a perfume on a recommendation! It’s taken me many years (and lots of £££) to figure that out

Kathunk the site suggests 5 different ones, including the Lancome you mentioned. Super. I also got suggestions for my ultimate favourite on DH, Nicole Farhi Homme, which has been discontinued so he's scraping his remains out for special occasions. This gives me hope we'll find something similar. You're a star.

Bvlgari Au Thé Blanc

in fact that's all I have, I like nothing else anymore. it's heavenly!
I use the perfume and the body lotion.
