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

I think mine would be Chanel Chance Eau Tendre.

Eau de Givenchy in a blue bottle- but almost impossible to find these days.

I'm was just thinking about this as my dad used to buy it for me. I can see it on eBay for high prices. In your experience do the old bottles still smell OK? I'd imagine the citrus notes haven't aged well.

@CeruleanDive i am not sure as my last bottle i managed to get in duty free. There are a few sprays left and i would say the scent is not that strong anymore. I got given a tester at 16 when I went to france and i have loved it ever since.

Thanks. When was it still on sale?

I love CK one too. The M and S perfumes lovely

Au Coeur du Desert by Tauer is my favourite perfume BUT it doesn't work in the heat (on me anyway).

If it's hot then I love Miller Harris Soufflot for a sultry night and Miller Harris Hidden on the Rooftops for day.

I can’t afford it, but I tried on POAL in a department store recently and was blown away. I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist! I woulD choose an unlimited bottle of that one.

That's my friend's favourite perfume and she cannot smell a thing now after getting covid a few years ago. It is such miserable thing to happen - can't even enjoy wine like she used to.

Crayon The High Road

Oh, I forgot to tag you @mumonthehill. Also, have you tried the new version?

Clinique Aromatics Elixir.

This thread just makes me want to go and try out new perfumes!

I get constant compliments about wearing Calvin Klein Be - it's a unisex perfume that just smells really clean and fresh on me. Almost soapy.

I've flirted with lots of other perfumes but never found one that smells as good on me as CK Be.

I always feel it's quite an immature choice as I've been wearing it for a loooong time now. But I get so many compliments, and I love the way it smells. If I pick up an item of clothing I've worn when I've had the perfume on, like a wrap, I always notice instantly how nice it smells!

I love it when that happens! I never think the Tiffany sheet lasts very long but then I pick a jacket up and can smell it quite strongly.

@CeruleanDive have not tried the new ones but have gone down a rabbit hole looking!!!

Currently loving Saltworks Sun Garden.

Have asked for Portrait of a Lady for my August birthday.

I love perfumes with good longevity and POAL is amazing for this!

Also, had a try of the new Marc Jacobs Daisy perfume, Daisy Wild.
It's gorgeous and also long-lasting.
