Favourite fragrances

[PiscesSt]

What are your favourite fragrances?
I have some newly discovered ones -
Killian Don’t Be Shy - smells sweet - a gourmand fragrance
Tiffany Rose Gold -fruity floral
I bought a discovery set from MFK - Maison Frances Kirkdijhan- they do lovely perfumes but are expensive so a good way to try them out first.

Neroli - Tom Ford (absolutely heavenly & suitable all year round)
Si - Armani
Stella - Stella McCartney
Je t’aime Jane - Bella Freud

Armani Si
Ellie Saab
Penhaligons Halfeti - vvv expensive though so I bought a £40 tester box with 5 or 6 in.
Gucci Rush and Rush 2 but I think they've discontinued the 2 😥

Penhaligons Bewitching Yasmine
Este Lauder Amber mystique
Jo Malone pomegranate Noir

For me it’s always the same, Laura merciers Ambre and vanille body soufflé, it’s so strong, it’s like perfume and lasts all day, a sort of soft and warm smell. I also layer on a spritz of Burberry London if going out. It’s a fruity floral.

The Burberry London was a surprise, it’s not a brand I ever looked at and my sil bought me a bottle one crimbo years ago and I loved it, she was really surprised and I’m several bottles down now. It seems to layer really well with the Laura mercier.

Estée Lauder - Youth Dew (the bath oil)
Lancôme Poeme
Guerlain- Mitsouko
Guerlain- l'heure bleue
J’adore absolu
Chanel - Coco

I wear others but keep coming back to these.

My favourites are;

St Dupont Oud&Rose
Jo Malone Moss and Snowdrop
Serge Lutens Vitriol d'oelliet (although I think this is discontinued)
Chanel L'eau Nr 5

Lancome Idole is my current favourite but I still love Amarige and Eden as 90s throwbacks.

Im a bit of a perfume addict
My favourites for winter are Tom Ford tobacco vanille, Maison margiela replica by the fireplace and jazz club and penhaligons halfeti and ruthless countess Dorothea (literally Christmas in a bottle)
For spring/summer I love Maison margiela replica lazy Sunday morning and beach walk, penhaligons orange blossom and juniper sling and Byredo 1996

Only ever wear two perfumes.
Givenchy Very Irresistible or Dior Addict.

I've been sampling Tobacco Vanille and I LOVED it. Haven't quite taken the plunge yet as it's so expensive.

madam dh bought me the 100ml for Christmas space nk had 15% off for new customers so saved a fair whack. It smells so like my all time favourite which was penhaligons roaring Radcliffe sadly discontinued but it tv has much better longevity it stays on me all day I love it

Eau de Givenchy- all time favourite
Ds and duraga - new find and had a sample set and love them all
Jo Malone - red Roses
Byredo-gypsy water. Love but too pricey!

@Scoose
You have great taste

Thanks JM I love perfume!

I try and try and try. Love Shalimar (grannie), First Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel No 5 (mother). Both are evocative of times remembered but none are right on me.

I have gone through phases:
Miss Dior
Chanel 19
White Linen (much poo poo'd)
O de Lancome
Hypnose
Tresor Midnight
Dior Blooming something or other
Estee Lauder Modern Muse, eau de parfum

Presently:
Dior J'Adore; and
Cartier Panthere both eau de parfum and toilette (they are quite different)

Also, and bought for parsimonious reasons during lock down: water jasmine eau de toilette by M&S. As cheap as chips but very light and refreshing. Perfect for summer and holidays - not long lasting but at £9 for 100ml who minds squirting it thrice a day.
