New perfume........what are people loving at the moment?

[stripeytiger]

I want to treat myself to a new perfume. I've made so many very costly perfume mistakes. The type of perfume I like is what I can only describe as a "powdery" sort of smell, sort of just out of the bath, talc and soap sort of smell. Just can't seem to find the one.

Any suggestions.........................

Thanks x

i love Bulgari and Prada, always get comments.

i love coco mademoiselle and dolce and gabanna she

Currently have Jo Malone's mixed miniatures - you can make your own combo up, I love Pomegranate Noir with a little bit of Amber and lavender, or grapefruit.

ds piss.

Am with hifi - have worn Prada for a while and I love it and people always comment on it!

I have D&G blue and Christine Aguelira. haven't worn the CA stuff yet though.

Noa is a lovely light talcy perfume, not too perfumy.

People commented on mine too!

yes, eau de urine....lovely!

Paul Smith Rose..its lovely!

I have Ghost & Victoria Beckhams day perfume (don't like her) her perfume is gorgeous though got it for xmas from my sis.

I love Dolce & Gabbana, the origional one with the red lid. Carolina Herrera 212 sexy, naff name, gorgeous scent. dolce & gabbana feminine also lovely

Tell you what else is nice i smelt the Sarah jessica parker (new one) & it's gorgeous.

DKNY Be delicious, very fruity/appley.

Echo for women is nice.

Christina Aguillera one is quite nice too, more of a night time one though.

Agent Provocateur
is really nice I never get sick of it

Any of the Creed ones are really nice to

I used to wear a huge range of perfumes until I got pregnant with DD1. Since then my sense of smell has altered hugely. Even smelling perfume on others was just awful. I can't bear my wedding perfume (Clinique Happy). DH bought me CK Eternity a couple of years ago and I actually quite like it. My sense of smell is becoming slowly more acceptable to fragrances again but not fully. I have two fragrances at the moment, not expensive ones, but enough to get me back into it all again. I have Next Mi Amor and Body Shop White Musk (also got the shimmer mist through the post today which I am very excited about).

i love all the ghost perfumes

and dd bought me victoria beckham - intimate which is nice, the women in boots perswaded dd to buy the bigger one as it was better value for money £35.00

thanks for all those suggestions. Prada sounds nice....is it quite light?

I used to wear a perfume in the 90s, not expensive, Vanilla Fields by Coty, got loads of comments about it. Then it disappeared from the shops, I finally managed to get hold of some about 2 years ago from USA but when it arrived it just didn't smell the same.....not sure whether after having 2 sprogs my smell had gone funny...but it smelt like cat's piss

I wear Chatal Thomas, which is by a French lingerie designer and smells of raspberries. I prefer the sweet or fruity smelling ones to flowery or musky.

sugar is really nice to from fresh in selfridges

stripeytiger - not sure if it matches the description of what you want but I've recently fallen in love with YSL Elle and have gotten a number of positive comments about it.

I've just been bought 'Ghost'. It's gorgeous! (I hadn't even heard of it before I got it, much to dd1's disgust)

umm not sure about powdery smell as that is what i avoid

but mine is armani diamonds

or sexy 612 or whatever the number is

Coco Mademoiselle here as well

The new Prada somethingorother Iris is lovely, quite light but not sweet. It comes in a satisfyingly huge bottle too.

I got Agent Provocateur for Christmas and it is just lovely. A grown up scent that can be worn every day. Fabbo.
