Portrait of a lady by Frederic Malle

@Starseeed you may well be the lady I interrogated as to what her perfume was as she smelled so amazing! I had a friend that once wore a Chanel one and when I got it I smelled horrid so I worry it would be the same with chance.

@Starlighttwinkle things I use a lot
Scrubs - dove macadamia, the organic shop ones off Amazon
Shower oil - bioderma mostly as I like it to shave with too
Body oil - still experimenting but soak Sunday and also any face oil that doesn't work for me I use on my body mixed with lotion
Superdrug vitamin E full range is great, they have body wash/scrubs/oils, and it's all cheap

Lady Vengeance by Juliette Has a Gun - I always feel a bit silly saying what it's called but it smells amazing

Tom Ford - Lost Cherry & F**king Fabulous.

Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely.

My friend once hugged me and said ‘Ah I’ve missed your smell’….which I think is a good thing 😂

Givenchy III - but I remember when it was indecence- woody.

@userxx Oh no! I still have some, must admit I didn't like it as much but shocked it's gone. I've had so many favourites discontinued 😤

I've got half a bottle left, I'm allowing myself a spritz on special occasions 😞. So bloody annoying when they discontinue. Damn them.

fionaapple · 27/02/2023 21:02

Funnily enough it is Rebelle by Rihanna most of the time. I bought my friend a bottle for her birthday last year because she'd always compliment me and someone at my old job wanted to get her daughter some for xmas. I am always worried it'll get discontinued in favour of Fenty Beauty perfumes.

Molecule 01. My girlfriends love it and call it ‘Sheena’s lovely perfume’ but DH can’t smell it at all. I wear Versace Crystal Noir when I go out with him.

I love this on other people!

Either Killian Adults (discontinued) or most often, Hermes Terre d’Hermes EDT.

Red door

Ah no! It's the quintessential 80s scent we all robbed from our mams!

RaininginDarling · 27/02/2023 21:21

Jil Sander no4 (a pain to find) and Miller Harris. Gutted to find they've discontinued my go-to Noix de Tubereuse but I do like Lumiere Doree and Secret Gardenia.

I don't think anyone has said Dune, by Dior.

A family friend gave it to me as a present when I was 17 - I'd admired it on her. 30 years later I still love it, and people do ask me about it but more so associate it as 'my' smell.

I have to save up to afford it but it's so worth it. I feel instantly better when I wear it.

Tinytigertail · 27/02/2023 21:24

Tom Ford, Neroli Portofino in the summer.
Maison Magiela Replica By The Fireplace in winter.
Always get lots of compliments.
