Your favorite perfume

Maybe there is a thread about this already, but... what is your favorite perfume? I love perfumes so much and I own a few - Acqua di Gioia by Giorgio Armani, Alien by Mugler and Flower by Kenzo.
If I could afford them I would buy Jo Malone's Wood Sage and Sea Salt and Byredo's Gypsy Water.

I love chanel coco noir and dior hypnotic poison. Byredo gypsy water is lovely it just doesn't last on me!

True, Gypsy Water's longevity is awful considering the price of the perfume!

4160 Tuesdays, Take me to the River, is my favourite. Great longevity.

Never heard of it before but the description on their website sounds amazing

Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin, but am terrible at overusing it as it wears off quickly.

Just bought a lime and neroli one from Lush- unfortunately it smells like toilet cleaner on me 😞

tootrueblue · 06/06/2022 15:57

Another vote for Flower by Kenzo. I've worn it for 20 years. And Hot Couture by Givenchy. I'm a sweet & spicy kind of girl

Portrait of a lady by Frederick Malle or Delina by Parfums de Marly

For me a favourite perfume is one I've bought more than once and keep going back to:
Tommy Girl by Tommy Hilfiger & Moschino's I Love - they smell nice but I'm not sure it's because they're awesome or because they take me back to happy times;
Viktor & Rolf's Flower Bomb- my ultimate favourite;
Acqua di Gio (for Men) and Paco Rabbane Ultraviolet (for men) - I love these too.

LadyOfTheCanyon · 06/06/2022 18:00

I switch between favourites:

Dans tes bras - Frederic Malle
L'eau d'Hiver - Frederic Malle
Dear Polly - Vilhelm Parfumerie
Halfeti- Penhaligons
Des clous pour une pelure - Serge Lutens
Classique- JPG
Whispers in the Library- Maison Margiela
Mutiny- Maisin Margiela
Female Christ - 19-69
Also a big fan of the original Ghost but it doesn't last 5 minutes on me.

Germolenequeen · 06/06/2022 18:09

Eau de Gucci - favourite perfume ever - sadly discontinued

LaQuern · 06/06/2022 18:31

Guerlain's Jicky, Chanel No 5 and Clinique's Aromatics Elixir.

All three have their haters but they all smell great on me.

Yes they all smell absolutely rank on me but I really like them on other people. Curse my skin's weird PH!

AndWhatNext · 06/06/2022 18:36

Vilhelm Morning Chess

TizerorFizz · 06/06/2022 19:47

I’m a fan of Guerlain. A proper perfume house. So Jicky, Nahema, Mitsouko, L’Heure Bleu and Chant d’Aromes. Can’t go wrong.

I really like Aqua Di Parma Camelia too. Just used up my Hermes Kelly Caleche. The price has gone up!

Arnaquer · 06/06/2022 19:51

Paco Rabanne Pure XS

jenn88 · 06/06/2022 19:56

Lancôme La Vie est Belle
But today I brought an Aldi Dupe for Good Girl - Carolina Herrera, smells ok for day day as usual is very expensive!!

Derrymum123 · 06/06/2022 19:58

Cerrutti 1881 takes me back to a happy time. Love it. Also Calvin Klein's Contradiction. Always end up going back to them.

florianfortescue · 06/06/2022 20:00

Chanel No 19. I've worn it since I was 21 and although I dabble with others it's the one fragrance I always, always have on my dressing table.

restedbutexhausted · 06/06/2022 20:04

Gucci by Gucci was my favourite but it's discontinued sadly 😭

To be honest most of my perfumes come from LUSH as I'm into unique scents.

MsOllie · 06/06/2022 20:06

I have a few
AG cloud
Clean reserve skin
Glossier You

Yes I like skin scents!

Gingermoth · 06/06/2022 20:08

It was Tendre Poison. God I miss it so much. Its the smell of my youth

itsthesoundofthepolice · 06/06/2022 20:09

I have a few

Jo Malone
Myrrh and Tonka
Vetiver & golden vanilla
Wood sage and sea salt

Maison Francis Kurkdjian
baccarat rouge 540

Hugo boss
Orange

Perfume parlour, Mediterranean water. Is a dupe of sea salt and wood sage and it smells like the beach. It's awesome.
