Random strangers often tell me I smell nice(preen emoticon) and I wear Clinique Aromatics everyday. It is quite strong and a proper perfumy smell, IYSWIM, not florally or green, more of an evening/wintery scent. A bit like Paloma Picasso, or the Chanel Coco one. Has a lovely clean feel to it.

Honestly, its lovely and people are always asking me what perfume I'm wearing in an admiring sort of way.

Lancome Miracle

southeastastra, are you serious?

Dyptique Baise (for grown up) and that ginger origins stuff that sycamore tree also uses (for everyday casual)
they do a thick body cream which layered with the perfume makes me feel amazing and i get loads of compliments

My fav? Tie between Chanel Chance and Clarins Par Amour.

I also like Maitresse and Chanel No. 5.

I can't be doing with sickly or sweet florals, Angel absolutely turns my stomach (on me, like it on others) so mine are -

DKNY red delicious
Davidoff Cool Water
Calvin Klein Truth
Philosophy - Pure Grace and Baby Grace - always get comments with these
Plus Eternity Summer and L'eau d'Issey

If she likes Red Door, then she will also like Dior Poison (the original one), YSL Yvresse, Givenchy's Amarige, and quite possibly YSL's Paris (if she likes roses). She will also probably like the new Estee Lauder one (think it's called Sensuous) which is quite heavenly.

2loudboys · 16/10/2008 20:37

Oooh oooh, she will also probably like Dior's J'Adore.

if its not too late trust me if she likes Red Door she will most definately LOVE Poison the purple one

Chanel 19
Sisley Soir de lune ( strong)
Love Clinique Aromatics but gives me a headache.

Does anyone wear le Feu D'Issey? I think that is gorgeous!
Also love the Quietude spritz spray by Temple Spa.
