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.

Guerlain = Mitsouko, L’Heure Bleu
Lancome - Poeme
J'adore - L'ore

Elie Saab - La Parfum, I totally love it, quite pricey but i think lasts a long time on.

My cheap as chips but utterly gorgeous one was Coty Wild Musk but they discontinued it
Despite getting amazing reviews.
On the very unlikely offchance of someone associated with Coty being on Mumsnet could you ask them to bring it back please, repackage it but don't mess with the scent and it would do a bomb.

These are my abso!ute favourites
Summer. D&G Light blue and TF Neroli Portofino
Autumn NR for her EDT. - probably my can't live without scent
Winter TF Lost Cherry and Killian Apple Brandy on the rocks. Both intoxicating. also love MM Replica By the Fireside
Spring. Just recently found Killian Good Girl Gone Bad - sooooo good. Also love JM Nectarine Blossom and Honey
Notable others - Chanel Chance and Bacarat Rouge I wear these all year round as they're fairly season non specific.

I love Beau Reve from poundland. I spend money on clothes and jewelry.

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

I have the same problem, and the few that I like and that suit me always end up getting discontinued.

Wore Molecule01 yesterday ( was recommended on Mumsnet ) and got complimented. I think it smells like flyspray we had when i was a child.

I starter wearing perfume from LV 2 years ago and have worn nothing else since.
I wear contre moi and always get compliments. They do refills in store for less money than a brand new bottle which I think is awesome.

Coco Noir is a favourite of mine.
Poeme is lovely and strong
Jean Paul Gautier classic

Another vote for Perfume parlour for dupes- especially of Jo Malones and others of that ilk.

Woody Sages is the dupe for the sage/wood/salt one and lasts about 3 days longer than the original.

Favourites- I'd never be without Chanel 19. It's one of few in my winter and summer perfume wardrobe. As is Miss Dior (original, no pink mingers with bows ta) and Dioressence.

Shalimar
Portrait of a lady
Chanel 31 Rue Cambon

I’ve tried the escentric molecules - it didn’t work on me -couldn’t smell a thing and received zero compliments!

madamsapple · 09/06/2022 11:39

Chanel 19 all time favourite, Chanel Christalle (for summer), have found Yardley Floral Jade very similar and much much cheaper!
Recently discovered Jo Malone Earl Grey and Cucumber and loving that too.

I'd wear 'Diorling' by Dior if I had the money. It's one of the vintage ones

Deathraystare · 18/06/2022 18:09

As is Miss Dior (original, no pink mingers with bows ta) and Dioressence.

Absolutely. Very cross when they bought out a simperingly sweet thing and called it Miss Dior! How very dare they??? Aren't there enough of those pink sweet 'sleb pongies for 5 year olds without Dior doing one! Honestly!!!!

I just came back from a long journey and had the chance to try dozens of perfumes at the airport in Istanbul. I had very high hopes for the Narciso Rodriguez house but none of their perfumes work for me. I heard wonders about For Her but honestly, it reminds me of baby diapers :( Has anyone had the same experience?
But I found an AMAZING offer - Gypsy Water by Byredo, 100 ml for 99 Euro!!! Prices of perfumes in Turkey are insanely low!! The 100 ml bottle costs around 194 euros here!
