What's your current go to perfume?
What's your signature?
What's your next perfume purchase?

My current go to is Byredo - Bal D'Afrique even though I think it'll be the perfect summer scent I can't resist it right now

My signature as of late is Jo Malone Sea Salt & Wood Sage

My next purchase is probably a full sized version of Escentric Molecules + Patchouli because I have a 8ml sample right now but I am obsessed

Share your scent secrets with me because I'm always on the look out to add to my collection!

I only ever use Paloma Picasso Eau de Parfum. I’ve used it for years but it suits me and I love it.

I have Molecule + Patchouli and also love it. I like the Iris one too but I’m not keen on the Black Tea. Also at the moment I really like Acqua Di Parma Oud & Zagara and Peregrina by Thameen. I also really like Naxos by Xerjoff. I’ll have other favourites once spring arrives.

I'm a bit of a perfume addict. I'm looking for my signature scent that I can wear all year round but I don't think that exists. I have a couple for each season.

I'm wearing Guess-Iconic mostly & Le Labo-Another 13 sparingly around this time of year.

I wear Jo Malone-Orange bitters on a mild day in Winter & Van Cleef-Oud Blanc on really cold days.

In the Summer I wear Floral Street-Arizona Bloom on cooler days & Replica-Bubble Bath on Hot days.

Autumn time I've been wearing Jo Malone- Wood Sage & Sea Salt & Pear & Fressia but I've run out & I'm hoping to replace those with Le Labo-Thè Noir.

If I had to pick one of these it would be Another 13 as my signature scent but I only have the 15ml bottle & it's very expensive so I only wear it at the weekends.

Current - Smoke by Perfumer H. It’s not my favourite of hers (a definite masculine edge that I find annoying) but of the three I’m trialling it works best in cold weather and suits my coat and boots.

Signature - I refute the idea of a signature scent because what I wear entirely depends on season and whimsy. If I had one it would be the smell of regret at not buying a lifetime’s supply of Vero Kern’s Rubj while she was still alive.

Next - the minute there’s sunlight beyond 4pm I start burrowing in drawers for the last dregs of Frederic Malle’s Lipstick Rose. I don’t know why I always want it long before spring even remembers itself - but it’s the ultimate aroma of optimism to me.

Great questions …

I always go back to Paco Rabanne Pure XS.
I think it may be discontinued soon as it's always in offer at the airport so always grab a bottle when I go through to stock up.

QuaterMiss · 03/02/2025 09:34

Which of the three questions is that for, @ThePoshUns - and what are your other two answers?
