I've found it. I like that they have 3ml oil roll ons for £3. Might order s few. Anyone had the oils? Good idea or best to stick with the sprays?

I prefer the sprays, been happy with all the dupes I've tried

Orphéon layered with Fleur de Peau body butter, both by Diptyque

Thank you @LadyOfTheCanyon off to purchase this now.

I got some lovely samples when I bought my foundation at the weekend, I was given L'interdit and Irresistible both by Givenchy and Si and My Way by Armani. Today I wore My Way to work and had a lot of comments about how lovely it is. It smells so nice and lovely lasts all day. I'm going to have to buy a bottle, or rather ask OH to buy me one as perfume is so expensive now.

Most frequent compliments. Cartier La Panthere and Lancome Idole.

I love My Way, only just bought it so not sure on compliments but one of very few that I can smell on myself and still smells lovely hours later.

I find the oils hard to use as I love to spray on my clothes as well as my skin. Handy for your handbag though, although I usually buy the 13ml sprays.

The fragrance dust is bloody brilliant too if you have any kind of oil burner. I love the Oud lime one - even my brother commented on how lovely my house smelled one day when I used it!

I'm really interested in the lack of Byredo perfumes mentioned here.

I get a lot of compliments for Mojave ghost

I like Gypsy Water but it is a very gentle scent on me. I wonder if they all have less projection and therfore fewer people pick up on them? (I prefer a subtle scent anyway).

Only perfume I've ever worn, that people comment on, men and women, is Jo Malone Poppy & Barley. Bought as a present, now a favourite and not one I'd ever have picked.

I wore Bal d'Afrique, liked it but never had anyone ask what I was wearing!

I have a colleague who smells 'manly'. I can't explain it but it is not pleasant and it is definitely some sort of perfume rather than a natural smell. It made me wonder - if I asked her what it is, she'd tell me and I'd have to pretend I liked it rather than saying it smells awful. So she'd think that she smells amazing Blush.

I’m resurrecting this thread as I’ve finally found out what the perfume is…Baccarat Rouge 540 😬. Not that anyone was waiting for this crap nugget of information but now I know.

Oh I love that but my manager says I smell like a dentist
it’s such a strange scent because everyone perceives it so differently, it smells like airy sugar to me

I can’t detect anything sugary about it, to me it smells like something a teenage boy would wear trying to appear more masculine. It is strange how the perception is different!

I always get compliments when I'm wearing By the Fireplace Maison Martin Margiela, or Clinique Aromatics
