If you had to wear one forever, what would it be?

I think mine would be Chanel Chance Eau Tendre.

Chanel Cristalle. I've worn it for over 30 years.

kitchendiscotime · 28/07/2024 13:38

Came on to say Chanel No 19 but 5 (!) others have beaten me to it!

My second choice would be Diptyque 34 Boulevard St Germain.

ChaChaChaChanges · 28/07/2024 13:39

Chanel No5. Nothing makes me feel as good as wearing No5.

Armani Mania, the original one from the early 2000s. Why they reformulated it I will never know. It was utterly gorgeous and I miss it every day. The closest dupes recommended by those parts of the internet which also mourn it are sadly nowhere near.

I can't wait until the day it's possible to smell through the internet. I want to try all the perfumes you're mentioning, and most of them don't seem to be the kind you find at The Fragrance Shop!

I love Coco Mademoiselle and Boss Orange. But my favourite smell is a little fragrance oil rollerball from Boots that I've had for over twenty years. Completely unobtainable now and it doesn't even say what the smell comprises of so I can't search for similar. I allow myself a little roll and sniff a couple of times a year.

Have you tried taking a photo and searching with Google lens? It might bring up some info on it

My favourite is Hugo Boss Nuit. I'd be very happy to wear only that for the rest of my life.

Anything Penhaligon or Jo Malone.

BettyBardMacDonald · 28/07/2024 14:49

Fragonard.

RubiesandRose · 28/07/2024 15:07

@ThatPeachSnake which Nuxe perfume smells like summer please? I'd like to try that!

SoManyBadgers · 28/07/2024 15:45

@longtompot I have, nothing doing Sad

It was only on sale for a short while circa 2000.

Clueless2024 · 28/07/2024 19:58

Nina Ricci - not sure what it's called, in an Apple sort of shaped bottle.
Dolce & Gabbana - Desire.
Hugo Boss - I think it was called Woman
Gucci - Envy Me

wherethewaterisdarker · 28/07/2024 20:09

Eau Moheli by Diptyque. Forever my signature scent.

YarsidokaLoafer · 28/07/2024 20:15

Tom Ford's Velvet Orchid

Closely followed by Chanel No 5 and Chanel Allure.

ImWearingPantaloons · 28/07/2024 20:18

Chanel 1932

Dr13Hadley · 28/07/2024 20:21

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb
My kids recognise it as smelling of mum 🤣

Intothevalley · 28/07/2024 20:24

Chanel No. 22.

It's from their Les Exclusifs range, I usually buy it in duty free at the airport.

It's like a less powdery, more heady, Chanel No.5.

MarshmallowsOnToast · 28/07/2024 20:28

Mine would have been for Chanel Chance Eau Tendre too for years.

However, my new favourite has to be Dior Addict.

They are absolutely nothing alike either!

InsolentNoise · 28/07/2024 20:30

waltzingparrot · 28/07/2024 00:55

Dune by Dior

Same
Its beautiful! (But hard to get and very expensive.)

MarshmallowsOnToast · 28/07/2024 20:31

Oooh I forgot about Lolita Lempicka though. That's also been my signature for ages! Too hard to pick!!

Bignanna · 28/07/2024 20:37

White Linen by Estee Lauder

I used to love that, but they’ve changed it to a sickly, intense version instead of the light, fresh one.
issy myake is my favourite.

LindorDoubleChoc · 28/07/2024 20:39

I love perfume! I wear it every day even if just houseworking/gardening/not going out of the house. My current favourite I discovered about 5 years ago (and I only wear in Autumn/Winter) is Patchouliful by Laborito Olfarrivito.

For summer - still O de Lancome.

Cattery · 28/07/2024 20:43

D & G Light Blue

luckylavender · 28/07/2024 20:44

Oh tricky. I love Coco by Chanel but not in the summer. Summer is Cristalle, 19 or O de Lancôme. Been wearing all these for many years. Also love No 1 & 15 by Liz Earle. And Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir. I use a lot of different fragrances.

GranolaGranolaGranola · 28/07/2024 20:45

Santal Blush by Tom Ford
