Is there a perfume out there you just can't beat?

I don't really mind if it's expensive if you can't beat the smell?

Clarins Dynamisante. Not too strong, anytime perfume. I always get nice comments when I wear it.

Guerlain insolence

There's something about TM Angel that's just pure intoxication.
I wore it for years but the last couple it just doesn't smell right on me but there's no other perfume like it. It's special.
I also love Dior Dune.

Could anyone recommend a perfume with strong vanilla notes?

Fferny1 · 31/07/2021 17:39

I don't think Champs Elysees is discontinued. It's readily available online. I think Guerlain have changed their bottles and in the process some perfumes might have been unavailable for a while. I was looking for Nahema for a while and it's now available.

Tendre poison and Gucci envy. Both discontinued. Bastards.

Paco rabbane 'Olympea'. It is lovely for autumn. Though to me it smells slightly coconuty more than vanilla.

Chanel Les Exclusives Gardenia- DH bought for me

Estée Lauder Knowing - always get good comments when I wear

Chanel No 5 - classic but really like it and sentimental reasons too

MonsterJammin · 31/07/2021 18:17

Paul Smith Floral was always my favourite but it's been discontinued. Are any of those recommended similar or light? It's hard to smell testers through masks!

Antelope, Parfums Weil, sadly discontinued but nothing comes close for me, the EDP is nothing like the parfum

@Coffee4Queen

Tendre Poison was/is my absolute FAVOURITE ever! It was discontinued a long time ago and to say I was gutted was an understatement. I still have just less than half left. I only use it about twice a year Grin. Not sure how I’ll feel once it’s finished Nothing comes close to that for me.
Oh yes, so much this! My favourite fragrance ever..

I also loved the original Marc Jacobs fragrance so much, also now sadly discontinued. If Hermes ever discontinue Un Jardin Sur Le Nil I don’t know what I’ll do.

Oh yes, Antelope, unforgettable, intoxicating, utterly sublime. The EDP and EDC were nice but for the richness and depth of the fragrance you needed the full strength perfume. I don't think the current EDP actually resembles any of the old Antelope products.

Paco Rabanne Lady Million

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 31/07/2021 20:33

Estee Lauder used to have something called Private Collection. Not the one called that now.

It was beautiful. Green, with linden blossom and chrysanthemum. Proper, grown up, beautiful perfume.

SnitchyBitch · 31/07/2021 20:40

Ariana Grande Cloud. Always get asked what it is.

FastFood · 01/08/2021 02:04

Mine is actually really cheap, but has been my summer fragrance since forever, Sun by Jil Sander. I don't wear it often but its a treat. Really smell like sun.

Rose 31 by Le Labo is a winner also for me.
As well as Sugi by Monocle x Comme des Garçons

Could live with just these three I think.
