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.

Eau de Gucci - favourite perfume ever - sadly discontinued was also a favourite of mine.

I wear Paloma Picasso in the black bottle and it draws a lot of compliments.

Love love love Penhaligons Artemisia but my signature scent was Laura Mercier's Verbena Infusion which is discontinued. I'm constantly looking for a replacement but no luck so far :(

ChocolateChocolateEverywhere · 06/06/2022 20:33

L'heure Magique by Laura Mercier. Discontinued 😪. Now I like Boss by Hugo Boss but nothing will beat L'heure magique.

Penhaligons Halfeti
Serge Lutens Sa Majeste La Rose
Coco Chanel

Diptyque Du Son and Diptyque Orphéon. I have Jo Malone Lime, Basil and Mandarin on my shopping list.

Aquamarine1029 · 06/06/2022 22:07

I just ordered the Penhaligon's Scent Library. I'm so excited!

missymarrk · 06/06/2022 22:12

Jo Malone Rose & Magnolia. I've tanked a full bottle in 3 months. I can't get enough of the smell.

Arianna Grande - God is a woman. Never ever thought I'd like an AG perfume, but it's gorgeous. Sweet and fresh!

taurusjo88 · 06/06/2022 23:30

I love Jo Malone English pear and freesia
I secretly like my husbands scents, he picked up LV immensite recently (this is the one www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Louis-Vuitton/L-Immensite-49751.html)
and le labo santal

I also like the scent from my curl activator by shea moister I get online from www.cchairandbeauty.com/products/shea-moisture-coconut-hibiscus-curl-enhancing-smoothie-12oz?_pos=27&_sid=166217c8a&_ss=r

Milton Lloyd's very good dupe for Chanel no 5. They call it 'Vogue' and it's only around £3.50

paisley256 · 07/06/2022 00:55

@Aquamarine1029 ooh the Penhaligon scent library is such a treat, you'll feel sooo special 😊

I'm sooo excited about it. It's really is such an amazing treat.

paisley256 · 07/06/2022 01:26

Don't laugh but I actually got out of bed to put a bit of Duchess Rose on! I smell glorious for sleep 😀

I'm not laughing! That's brilliant. 😍

Coco Mademoiselle is my favourite, but I got Dior Joy for Christmas and it is now a close second. I also love J'adore.

LadyEloise1 · 07/06/2022 10:01

@Oceanus
I too love Moschino's I Love.

AtwilightRebellion · 08/06/2022 15:17

A few months after having Covid I can no longer wear my favourite perfume. It smells completely off alongside some other fragrances and smells (which oddly all smell of the same rotten combination which is very hard to describe)

I am now in the market for something new so just discovered this thread.

SabrePrattler · 08/06/2022 15:22

I don't have a perfume that I absolutely love anymore and if I found the right one I'd happily shell out the £££. In the past couple of weeks I've tried YSL Libre - revolting. Tried Byredo's Gypsy Water last week, was fine but meh. Tried Le Labo's Santal yesterday and didn't like it at all. I will keep sniffing until I find something.

FlowerBitLove · 08/06/2022 15:23

Le labo another 13 but I can’t really justify the cost of it right now so only use it for special occasions.

SabrePrattler · 08/06/2022 15:24

Oh and Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess as I've read so many times that it's the perfect summer scent. Not for me.
