Hello! I am looking for a perfume for everyday use - I would really like something not too strong or not too 'evening' but instead light fresh and clean smelling. If anyone has any recommendations please tell me! Thanks 🙂

Philosophy - Amazing Grace. A light soapy smell

Prada Iris

Anything with neroli/orange blossom

Tea rose - the Body Shop used to do a wonderful Tea Rose oil, but I think they stopped selling it a few years ago.

For me, the main thing is that it's an identifiable floral perfume, not the complex sytheticky perfumes that have become so popular.

@Cocktopus have just ordered your recommendation!

another vote for Clarins Eau Dynamisante which is pure herby clean but elevated by a little delicious magic I can never put my finger on but doesn’t seem to exist in any other scent

Replica Bubble Bath or Lazy Sunday (I think that's the name) for me.

I use Davidoff 'Cool Water' Woman.
I like the Davidoff 'Waves too'

Both of these are my go to everyday perfumes.

Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin is fresh and carries into the evening. The room diffuser is phenomenal. And agreeing with others one that's got a lot of compliments was at the other end of the spectrum Estee lauder green tea which is about 25 quid for a decent bottle. It's my partners favourite out of all my perfumes.

Sorry meant Elizabeth Arden Green Tea not Estee Lauder!

I wear Inis, it's a seaside scent! Whenever I wear it someone asks me what it is. It's light and lovely
