Recommend me a perfume

I'm after a new perfume for Christmas, scents I've previously worn and liked are V&F Flowerbomb, Georgio Armani "Si" and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Does anyone have any recommendations for similar scents, or if you've worn these yourself what others have you liked?

I will of course be going to John Lewis and sniffing some perfumes first but love some suggestions to point me in the right direction!

Killian - Love don't be shy. Absolutely gorgeous and I always get compliments

Essentric molecules 01

you won’t regret it! I’ve been stopped in the streets when I’m wearing this. So many compliments and totally unique

This one doesn't work for me at all. Everyone I know days the same, that they always receive compliments, and it smells like nothing on me, I was gutted!

I'm enjoying Jimmy Choo I Want Choo at the moment but also love YSL Black Opium and unisex fragrances like Abercrombie night, Tom Ford Black Orchid & a couple of the Replica ones. By the Fireplace is nice, they do a little sample box too.

The new Jean Paul Gaultier - La Belle, I have so many compliments when wearing it. It really is good and we seem to having similar tastes in perfumes.

Bvlgari omnia crystaline

keeprunningupthathill. I hope you love it as much as I do. Would love to know what you think to it when it arrives,

Maison Margiela Replica - Sailing Day. It smells like I imagine Nantucket to be! Always get compliments on it. I buy one bottle a year.

A friend bought me You by Glossier recently and I absolutely love it. It was a gift set which included a candle of the same scent

blueberrymojito · 30/10/2022 07:03

Thank you for the suggestions, looking forward to trying some of these!

i Wear flower bomb a lot it’s my go to. I have recently brought YSL Libre I think it’s a really fresh smell and I also had a sample of the Valentino Voce Viva which I really liked. I also have Tom Ford Black Orchid and used to have YSL black Opium

@Bigslippers cherry smoothie from Zara is a really good dupe, just doesn't quite have the staying power, but it's a tenth of the price! I've been looking for a cherry/almond perfume for ages

I bought the Zara perfume in the hope of a decent Lost Cherry dupe. Doesn’t compare to Tom Ford.

Chanel Chance is lovely. There are 3 different ones, all very nice.

fingcntbags · 12/11/2022 21:47

My favourites are Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and Chanel No 5 L'eau.

Chloefairydust · 14/11/2022 06:37

Olympia is beautiful, i also like the miss Dior pink one, I have jadore at the moment, I like it but for some reason get used to the scent almost immediately and stop being able to smell it. Everyone gives me compliments on it though so I don’t think the scent fades rather my nose gets used to it haha … still a lovely scent though and not overpowering

SocksAndTheCity · 14/11/2022 08:49

I've just bought Melrose Place by Ouai after getting a sample from Space NK - it's lovely and not too expensive. If you like Coco Mademoiselle and Chance au Tendre I think you'd like it Smile

I love la vie est belle and if you buy it in a gift set from Boots at this time of the year you tend to get a good deal. A little goes a long way and I find it warms well throughout the day and holds its scent after a 13 hour shift.
I cannot stand Flowerbomb, I find it exceptionally sweet but it just shows how perfume smells differently to people/on people. I love your other 2 though.

Black Opium has been suggested. it is also beautiful and similar long lasting strong scent. Lady Million, Armani Diamonds, all fresh clean affordable lasting scents.
Enjoy your trip to John Lewis.

If you want a winter scent I can recommend by the fireside, it's gorgeous and smells just like it's name
