new scent ideas..please !

[MaryAnnSingleton]

I am running out of my Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlily sparkly spray and usually wear Jo Malone's Nutmeg and Ginger (also love the black cafe vetyvr) - so I like woody fragrances - cedary and sandalwoody and nutmeggy-
any ideas for something else to try ?

*

I quite like dolce and gabbana light blue, it's fresh but spicy?

mm, will go and sniff - fresh and spicy sounds good to me

I always wear d&g light blue but recently tried stella mcartneys new perfume and its lovely.

is that woody or spicy then ?

flowerbomb - viktor & rolf is very nice and also anna sui flight of fancy

just nice, i think spicy.....

thanks - will go and look for these...

anna sui is quite light but heady adn flower bomb is more woody but also sweet...sui one sold everywere, flowerbomb sold in HOF, debenhams harvey nic's etc

oh, none of those shops near me

try the viktor and rolf website, specifically flower bomb and they may be able to mail you a tester?, but anna sui in boots

Good article by Hilary Mantel here
She loves Pada No 3 Cuir Ambre

Laugs - thanks,that was helpful...the Prada one is probably horribly expensive...thanks too PinkChick

Just bought Paul Smith Extreme for women and love it!!

ok, is on my list of 'to smell...'

That is such a lovely article Laugs.

MaryAnnSingleton - has anyone told you about "les Senteurs"?

The shop does mail order testers and has a wonderful website. There's a whole section of the website describing perfume in your favourite olfactory group.

I have no idea what you'll like but I think you should try Serge Lutens' "5 o'clock au gingembre". You have to spray it on and wait because it changes as all the different "flavours" come out. It's like "Nutmeg and Ginger" multiplied by 10 - in a really good way.

les Senteurs

It's also available from Selfridges and Liberty.

zena - fab idea - thanks

I love Light Blue by D&G.

I was also going to recommend Crave by CK as DP bought it for me out of the blue Christmas and I love it. Musky and nutmeggy. However I have just googled it to see if there was a descitption of it and it turns out it's actually for men! The blurb reads as below:

Crave is the new fragrance from Calvin Klein. It is a fresh, clean and sexy scent with an undercurrent connected directly to her. Defined by woody notes, musk and sizzling spices it?s all about wanting, needing and have to have ? and when he?s got it?she?ll want him.

Will be having words with DP although it does smell gorgeous.

Fanjo - have just bought a wee mini bottle of the Paul Smith to try!

grumpalina - I like men's fragrances generally to wear - sounds v nice,that...

MAS- hope you like it, I really love it!

I gota new one for xmas jennifer lopez deseo i think its called,its lovely!

Fanjo, it's very nice but I'm not aware of it's scent lingering, or maybe it's very subtle !

it is very subtle, I do find I have to reapply it quite often, and use lots of it!
