What perfume do you wear?

I fancy a new perfume (thinking of dropping hints to DH for Christmas). I wear SpaceNK Laughter at the moment, but it has nearly run out and can't afford to buy more of that one.

I'd like something light, maybe a bit flowery smelling and suitable for day or eve. Any suggestions?

Jean Paul Gaultier Classique. I have tried others but keep going back to it. Hoping Santa gets me the sparkly bottle for Xmas

Eau de children pour moi.

Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. It's very light and flowery.

I don't know if it's avalaible as a perfume but Jo Malone's lime, basil and something is fab (had some soap as a present)

Chanel No. 5, Coco Chanel or YSL Paris, all gifts from my either my sister or aunt.

I don't hold a scent well, so I usually squirt the perfume in Simple body lotion and then layer more on top or put it in my hair.

Stunning by Katie Price ...

Went to do some sniffing today - but DD (13 mths) got bored before I'd chosen anything. Will keep looking though. Thanks for all the suggestions.

I love Paris Hilton during the day and JPG original in the evening

Nightynight · 05/12/2007 21:51

Miss Dior, plus various flowery things - lily of the valley a particular favourite.

why do we not like stella maccartney? i thought she was a Good Thing. I keep wanting to try the scent, but every time I get near a posh shop, it always seems to be sold out.

poppy34 · 05/12/2007 21:55

the new hermes one - kelly i think its called and very irresistible by givenchy

ninedragons · 06/12/2007 05:41

Un Jardin Sur Le Nil by Hermes. Everyone wants to hug you or lick you but it's very subtle so no-one has any idea why they are finding you so fiendishly compelling.

SpacePuppy · 06/12/2007 07:32

Oscar de la renta during the day very light
Sensi from Giogio Armani for an evening out, a bit more heavy.

shoshaliteupthetree · 06/12/2007 07:35

Georgio Red, have worn it for about 25 yeasr , did flirt with Anais Anais when it came out, but went back to to Red, God I'm boring, but at least Dh knows what to get on his travels

shoshaliteupthetree · 06/12/2007 07:38

Actually havnt been wearing it that long, just googled it and it was launched in 1989, seems a lot longer

Sparkletastic · 06/12/2007 07:49

Armani for Her (gold bottle) is my fave highstreet smell but love love love Jo Malone Wild Fig and Cassis, Blue Agave and Cacao and Pomegranate Noir (latter deffo not light though). Bought Lime Basil and Mandarin for my chum and she says it is her new signature scent - I've never managed one of them as love too many different smells . The Hugo Boss range is really good - have had Boss Woman, Femme and another one that I can't remember name of...

kinki · 06/12/2007 07:51

bulgari blv for daytime. Ck eternity for nights out. Present bottle of eternity is still over half full, and I think I've had it about 4 years.

Flame · 06/12/2007 07:57

Sarah jessica parker - lovely

or the Hugo Femme one

Flame · 06/12/2007 07:58

Or was it woman? i dunno - it was in a double thing with deep red too

zippitippitoes · 06/12/2007 08:00

think it was woman i used to wear that

mumof2teenboys · 06/12/2007 08:15

Pure Purple by Hugo Boss is lovely. So is Cool Water for Women by Davidoff. Mariage by Givency(sp) I don't like 'heavy' perfumes and all of the above are quite light.

nangnangnang · 06/12/2007 11:08

I used to wear Miller Harris Fleur du Matin and loved it but since pg it seems stronger (am I making this up or have other people found their senses heightened?). Switched to Tangerine Vert. Both are light and summery and, in particular TV, unusual.

Elphaba · 06/12/2007 11:10

Lancome Hypnose at the moment

RosaLuxMundi · 06/12/2007 11:12

Jo Malone Grapefruit or Lime, Basil and Mandarin (though that one officially belongs to my metrosexual DH).

DingDongMerriLullyOnHigh · 06/12/2007 11:17

Miller Harris Fleur Oriental
Marc Jacobs Daisy
Narcisso Rodriguez

PetitFilou1 · 06/12/2007 14:19

DKNY Woman
and
Jo Malone French Lime Blossom

TheMincePiedMadHouse · 06/12/2007 14:31

Jasime and Green Tea - L'Occitane - daytime
Channel Allure - evening

Althought he bought me a little roll on of Rose, Jasmine and Frankinsence from aromatherphy Ass and it is lovley

DH - Allure sporting - day
Allure - evening

Allure for men is well so alluring

BananaPudding · 06/12/2007 14:44

Coco Chanel; Coco mademoiselle is nice but was a little heavy for me. I like No.19 but it's a little granny-ish.

Bulgari au the vert, favorite of all time

Although I fear (and not sure why) that it's common or cheap, I love Comme un Evidence by Yves Rocher
