If you were only allowed to have ONE perfume for life which would it be and why?

[heartsinvisiblefury]

As title says really. I think mine would be Halfeti because it’s the only one I’ve ever had compliments on.

My mum has a huge bottle of joy that she’s had for decades, just leaves it there, full, just incase she ever wants to wear it!🤣

It's discontinued but I loved Valentino Donna Aqua, I have about 10mls left

Me too

Not read the whole thread. My perfume would be Gucci by Gucci still absolutely gutted they discontinued it 😭 will never forgive them until my dying day!

My favourite perfume has changed over the years.

Anaïs Anaïs - my mum gave me a bottle when I went into hospital to have my daughter so that's a special memory.

I love Guerlain Aqua Allegoria Pamplelune in summer - so grapefruity and fresh. I used to layer it with Body Shop pink grapefruit shower gel before that got crazily expensive. What happened there?

Jo Malone Orange Bitters in winter; it's a lovely warm spicy scent.

And recently, Maison Margiela Replica From the Garden. Very gentle and natural. I don't do well with heavy perfumes.

But my all-time favourite has to be Wrappings by Clinique. Discontinued for ages now; I have one precious bottle left. If I had to choose one it would be Wrappings.

Amarige by Givenchy. I have been wearing it since 2001 and still get so many compliments on it. It's warm and rich and floral, but not sickly - just gorgeous.

The others that I alternate are:
Molecule No1
Deep Red - Hugo Boss
J'adore - Dior
Clarins - Eau Dynamisante (more as a cologne)
and my new favourite (thank you Liberty calendar) Ex Nihilo Fleur Narcotique which is fast becoming my 'go to'. It's bloody amazing.

That would probably be my choice too, but I’d dither between that and one of the TF cherry ones.

I’d hate to only have one perfume!

Louis Vuitton les sables roses. It’s just beautiful.

Levantium

So often when I wear it, other women ask me what it is and where to get it. Men never do - that reinforces my belief that women pay more attention than men to scent.

Chanel No.5 is my back up perfume because it smells like Paris in earlier days.

After that, I just go for soap.

Where do you find Dior Addict in the navy bottle these days? This was definitely "my" perfume, I always got tons of compliments when wearing it but I can no longer find it.

Coco Chanel

I think it would be Bal d’Afrique for me because it’s so versatile. But I’ve recently fallen in love with Parisian Musc from Matiere Premiere - it’s the sweet spot between Philosykos and Santal 33

Diorella, the 1972 classic from Dior. Lemon, basil and bergamot with a splash of jasmine, yum yum yum ... It puts the spring in my step like no other scent. Other people complain it smells like insecticide, but I love it; plus, it keeps the flies off me in the Australian summer.

I'm also eking my '90s bottles of Dewberry. Please, Body Shop, bring it back!

Good to see so much love for Mitsouko. I once got so addicted to those luscious peach aldehydes I was applying it three times a day and came out in an awful rash. It is wonderful, a unique masterpiece with no smell-alikes.

Femme by Herve Leger from Avon

discontinued a few years ago but was an amazing perfume, I would get compliments on it all the time.

Funnily (and I have a lot of different perfumes) the times men have complimented me has all been on the same perfume
You read about men liking vanilla etc and the only compliments I’ve had were on DKNY woman which is possibly the coldest scent I own!

Gucci rush 2. The one in the clear pink rectangular bottle

Jil Sander No. 4. I’ve heard the formula changed so not sure I’ll like that.

Chanel Cristalle, it is the only one I use!

Thank you so much! I will order it this morning.

Molecules 01- absolutely amazing scent!

@groovergirl - Diorella - my scent of the 1970's loved it. Great to see some of my old and enduring favourites on here. Mitsouko, Kenzo Flower, Chanel No 5, L'Eau D'Issey..

pomelo by Jo Loves

I just can’t smell that at all!

Eden by Cacharel
