Nicest ever perfume

[SaagAloopa]

In your opinion what is the nicest ever perfume?

Jo Malone any from her range.....love!

I love Vilhelm parfumerie NY and Byfredo Bal d'Afrique.Some of the Frederic Malle ones are really nice. I don't like any of Jo Malone's. I really don't like Halfeti which reminds me of the scents my great grandmother wore when I was a child.

I got Guidance by Amouage for Christmas, really love it at the moment but there'll be another new one come along in a minute to usurp it! I'm just shocked by how expensive perfume is now

Chanel - Bois des Iles

i had a sample of Halfeti - probably the worst fragrance I’ve ever worn - even after washing it off, I could still smell it . . .

Yes I found it really cloying and it actually gave me a headache. I wondered if it was just how my skin reacted to it as so many seem to like it.

Has anyone worn Chanel Leon.
It was raved about in the Sunday Times magazine (by India Knight I think).
I got a spray of it on a card tester.
I think there's a very faint whiff of pine disinfectant off it.
I won't be buying.
I smelled Chanel Edinburgh on someone recently and thought it was lovely.
I find though what can smell lovely on others might be ghastly on me.

Ghost - orb of the night opulence

JPG - So Scandal

YSL - Rive Gauche

I have a teensy problem with perfume, think nearly 200 bottles 🫣 I’ve sniffed a lot and love many but Coromandel has been my favourite for almost a decade.

Escada Collection 2000 or 2001. Simply divine. Nothing else will ever come close

I loved the old Tiffany perfume. They discontinued it and I don't like any of their new ones.

I’ve really enjoyed reading through this thread and have written down a few scents I’m going to test.

my current faves are:

Le Labo - Another 13
Roses Greedy - Mancera

In the past( 80's) it was the original Annick Goutal Eau d Hadrien. Then Prescriptives Calyx in the 90's. The Clinique version that came out as a re-lauch smelled similar but wasn't exactly the same. More recently it was Cristalle edp, but that has been completely buggered about now.

I'm reluctant to buy new versions of my old favourites now, as they've changed so much. So I keep my perfumes stored in a cool cabinet for years.

If you could only pick one of them, which one would it be?

I’ll never forgive Stella McCartney for discontinuing In Two Peony.

Chanel Cristalle. I've worn it now for 35 years, it's the only perfume I like, although I'm sucked in to buying others sometimes. It is glorious.

Issy Miyake original. Get lots of compliments.
Used to wear anais anais in the 80’s.
Lots of perfumes give me headaches sadly.

Veneta Bottega for Autumn/Winter.
Eau Dynamisante for Summer.

this is such a nice way to think and write about nicest, i loved reading it, thank you.

other than that, it is sooo overpriced and hipstered to hell and you cant walk round my city’s financial district or more well to do areas without being assaulted by it which is hilarious given how little i earn. But Santal 33 by Le Labo, I can’t help it.

The original Jimmy Choo or Cacharels Amor Amor

All the perfumes I loved have been discontinued or had a change to the original recipe.
I loved Chloe narcisse and the original 80s Chloe, both discontinued.
Moonflower from the body shop discontinued
White linen still available but smells different from the original one and it's just not the same, it's slightly sweeter and has fewer woody clean scent.
Yet to find another perfume I like for winter. I like a lighter, fresher perfume in spring and don't wear perfume in summer and autumn due to attracting stingy/ bitey insects 🐝 🦟 .

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Wearing it now for the last 11 years. Have the shower gel body lotion and body mist - absolutely love it ❤️

New West by Aramis
Prescriptives Calyx

Zielinski and Rosen,
