Calling perfumistas - if I like these perfumes what else can I try?

For years I used La Vie est Belle & Black Opium. I still like these perfumes but I find Black Opium doesn't last on my skin & La Vie est Belle is more of a summer/daytime perfume than a wintr/evening one.

I tried Libre in store and liked how it developed. It really lasts on me but it is everywhere. I want something a bit different.

I am currently wearing Miss Dior which is nice but didn;t quite live up to my expectations.

I absolutely love Black Orchid on my dd but it smells just OK on me and it's too expensive for just OK.

I've just recommended it on another thread so I'll suggest it here as well - Scherzo by Miller Harris. It's expensive but gorgeous, I think.

Have a look at this and search the ones you like, it gives you other perfumes with the same notes etc:

Coco Noir - Chanel
Black Datura - Miller Harris

Try the La Vie Est Belle Iris Absolut - I am a recent convert to this. It’s much more intense.

Miss Dior parfum (not the ‘eau de parfum’) is lovely and long lasting.

Libre, prada paradoxe and baccarat rouge. They are gorgeous and long lasting

Jean Paul Gaultier: La belle
Guerlain: la petite robe noire intense

YSL Libre!

I mentioned Libre in my opening post. I wanted something a bit different as it seems that the world and his wife are wearing it at the moment.

Gucci's floral perfumes are also great. You can give them a try.

I've got a sample of a Gucci one I was given in store. I'll have to try it. I also had a couple of samples from Loewe when I bought something from there. I didn;t like the one but dd did so I passed it to her.
