Best perfume ever

[glittermoomoo]

If money was no object what is the no.1. perfume you've ever tried?

I have a sample of this and I can’t understand the fuss. I only realised today that is was really popular and I remembered I had a tiny bottle.

My favourite perfumes have all been altered or discontinued. My first perfume was the original Nina by Nina Ricci- almost 40 years ago, then the original Ralph Lauren Romance. I remember meeting it for the first time in Montreal when it was being launched. My everyday perfume Yves Rocher 'Nature' sadly discontinued. And I've just remembered a gorgeous Bourjois perfume circa 1996 that I bought in France but can't remember the name🙈

molecue essentric 01
(constantly stopped by strangers asking what it is)

Santal 33 is another.

I love Molton Brown Milk Musk

I like Fragonard by the house of Fragonard

Anais Anais is an old favorite

Juicy Couture

Chanel No 5

Chanel coco mademoiselle

Is this the one?

Erolfa

Miss Dior
Cabochard by Grès
Bloom Gucci

Santal 33!

For my b'day I treated myself to a bottle of Cacheral LouLou, the 90's classic. Still love it.

Chloe Narcisse (discontinued)- another 90's classic. LOVED THAT.

Still love the original Giorgio Armani in the yellow/white striped box, it smells like summer to me.

Black Opium isn't as fabulous as I expected so I haven't spent the money on it.

Mine is Chanel No5; Coco Chanel; and Angel (Mugler). No changes for me in ages. Hardly wear scent though.

I had completely forgotten Roma. It was lovely and very like YSL Paris. Now I wish I had either. They were both quite light and sweet but not too cloying.

I am planning to buy Miss Dior original, which I have not worn for years. I got a Shay & Blue Black Tulip spray in my M&S Advent Calendar (a present from a friend) which I thought was really nice. My money no object buy would be to have matching perfume and body lotion.

Did anyone listen to Sliced Bread on Radio 4 in which Greg Foot investigated clone perfumes?

He concluded that some were very good but that the fragrance lasted less than the premium brands.

Thank you, I have enjoyed reading all your answers- I shall try to try some of these out as samples just to smell them!

My favourite is either Chanel Coco Madomiselle or Body shop Oceanus which they stopped many years ago but will always have a place in my heart.

Another vote for Le Labo Santal 33
Vilhelm Parfumerie Moon Carnival 💛

@RumblePhish try Le Labo Rose 31. As with all Le Labo perfumes, suggest you grab a sample or spritz it on in store and see how it develops. They really do smell different on the skin vs paper strip and they develop over time

For me Dior Le Grand Bal. sadly discontinued. Eeking out very last drops of bottle bought for my 50th

The sadly discontinued Nina Ricci Delices d'Epices. It was cheap but no perfume I've ever owned or tried has come close. If money was no object I'd give my last remaining bottle to a perfumier and get them to replicate it.

For the Cosmetics To Go fans, here's a catalogue for nostalgia purposes.

Vanille Abricot by Comptoir noir did pacifique.

Basically, I love smelling like a bakery 😂

• sud pacifique

@nunsflipflop Milk Musk is my favourite too. Absolutely love it.

Aromatics Noir by Clinique

DH bout it for me at Xmas even though we were not supposed to be doing presents for each other (other than little treats). I still feel a glow of happiness about it. But maybe it just suits my skin/warmth/pheromones....

Any by Roja as the bottles are divine.

CHANEL Coromandel, 22 and 31 Rue Cambon from their Les Exclusives collection.

Agree, and guerlain insolence, love them both.

Me too. OM was so beautiful. Im still searching for anything similar.

the other one I loved was Libertine by Vivienne Westwood.

Thank you!!
