I want a new perfume what would you recommend ?

[Katshouldnotswim]

I’m happy to pay £££

I like fresh citrusy smells as well as musky woody smells.

I don’t want something overpowering but I want something that will last a bit.

Not hugely keen on jo malone Lbm / PN as I’ve found they don’t last so long.

Detest Chanel no 5 as it smells old fashioned and talcy on me. Ditto Avon soft musk which I’ve just bought on the back of a thread here recently.

DH really likes me wearing Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker but it’s cheap as chips and i fancy a change.

What would you suggest ?

QUERCUS
A cologne of some sophistication, named for the iconic English oak. Basil and lemon as fresh as a mountain stream, sweet jasmine, and a woody, mossy depth that brings one happily back to earth.

After the Rain - Lime, Rose & Sandalwood
Inspired by the scent of a summer garden on Arran after a rain shower. Experience our best-selling signature scent with notes of Lime, Rose and Sandalwood.

Libre by YSL is lovely and fresh but with deeper notes

Quercus is indeed lovely. However it doesn't last very long ( on me: sample of one)

So I went into boots and they had interdit on offer with a mascara and lipstick and I had enough boots points to buy it outright. So there we have it.

I then had a test of narco rordriguez which smelt delightful so that might be my next purchase.

So many recommendations to keep me busy. Thank you all

I love L'interdit so good choice op. I bought Lancome Idole and Im not sure about it.

Good choice, L’interdit is my current favourite. Have you tried it out yet?

Mr favourite and only perfume I will wear is Mademoiselle by Coco Channel I'm funny with smells.

However, I also have my own bottle of Armani Code for men which I do prefer wearing.

Initio Absolute Aphrodisiac
Le Labo Another 13
Chanel Coromondel

There's a few sites you can order samples of to see what you like.

I love molecule 1 and got molecule 3 recently. Love it.
Byredo Bibliotech is a favourite ...smells of leather

This is the most gorgeous citrus smell

This! It’s awesome. Pricy but worth it.

Katshouldnotswim Try Chanel 19 or Cristalle

As @Huelva94 suggests, O de Lancome is a lovely citrus fragrance. Similar, but more intricate and more expensive smelling (and costing) is Diorella (by Dior, not surprisingly). That is my perfume of choice for the summer. It is a gorgeous mix of citrus and lily of the valley fragrances, to my nose. For winter I like something deeper, warmer and more spicy and I like Mitsouko by Guerlain. Both of these are long lasting on my skin and give me a lot of pleasure to wear.

Coco Mademoiselle
Flowerbomb
Stella
Jimmy Choo
Perfume is a personal choice.

You have got to try More is More by Judith Lieberman. It is a fragrance that has three chambers so you can have 7 fragrances in one bottle! The individual fragrances are amazing and mixing the. With the unique bottle is a life changer. Check it out

I love Blood Orange by Shay&Blue. For woody/musky I’d recommend Liz Earle No 15

I love
Chanel Chance
Chanel Coco mademoiselle
Jo Malone Grapefruit
Jo Malone Orange Blossom
Clarins eau des jardins
Neom Grapefruit lemon and rosemary
L’Occitane Verbena sorbet

Chanel No 5, but L'eau (not the traditional one - it's very different)

Chanel Mademoiselle

Chanel Gabrielle

I am very boring about the merits of Chanel.

Intuition by Estée Lauder will suit you if SJP Lovely does

Touch by Burberry

Maison Martin Margiela Beach Walk is gorgeous ☺️

Diptyque L'Ombre Dans L'Eau. The first notes are very green, almost tomato plant like, and then it just becomes lovely and Berry/rose like, its lush! If you have ever smelt their Baies candle it's basically the perfume version of that.

Libre by YSL is really nice. I sent of for a sample & everytime I wore it my dh kept asking what I was wearing as I smelt so nice. He obviously loved it as bought me a bottle for Christmas!

Chanel Crystalle has top notes of lemon and base notes of moss. I haven't worn it for ages but your post reminded me of how much I used to like it. I've googled and it is still around.

I got Paris: She Met Him in Secret by Anthropologie for Christmas.
The notes are Violet, Dark Iris, and Sueded Leather.

I love everything by Clarins.
