perfume is a bit of an obsession with me, currently, I love anything by Theirry Mugler, although have just discovered the Clean range...the warm cotton smells like freshly laundered towels..not for everyone I appreciate...so what is your fav, does anyone have a signiture scent anymore or do you change scent with your mood?

l'eau d'issey, coco mademoiselle, and, this cheapo Jo Malone copy for everyday.

phylosikos and baise by diptyque

sometimes that ginger guff from origins..the body creme seems to get masses of compliments

eau 3 from sisley

pomegranete noir by jo malone

Riven, you might like the stuff from B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful (Lush's cosmetics arm). Very non-cruel afaik. I like their B Scent (crisp and classy) or Love (smells like apple pie). But they're closing down soon so get in there quick if you like the sound of anything

ComeOveneer and I both smell the same I have all 3 of those.
I also have 2 Victoria Beckham ones that dd has bought me for a birthday and Christmas last year the reason being they were both pink and a little bit of Gucci Envy left which I love.
DH has bought me christina aguilera By Night for Christmas I got a sample in Debenhams and liked it although I'm pregnant now so no saying I will like it in a few weeks.

My mum always smells lovely but whenever I put on her perfumes I smell like 'eu de cat wee' no idea what I do to them.

oh I forgot a little gem I found, Tesco Finest Ginger, Pepper and Mandarin get so many compliments with that one.

i wear paris but strangely my bf of 13 years buys me every perfume but this. i dont think he ever listens to me i would get more joy talking to the wall.

CKOne Summer (from 2007 i think) - smells really fresh and clean.

Paul Smith Floral (because my name is flora, not because it smells nice!)

eau de regurgitated milk is my current one though i get a fresh application at least twice a day!

HarkTheHerAuldAngelsSing · 19/12/2009 17:55

L'eau par Kenzo.
Haven't worn it for ages as I was PG and then got out of the habit when DS2 was teeny.

tadders · 19/12/2009 17:56

"Presence d'une femme" by Mont Blanc, warm and spicey

or...
DKNY "Woman"

or..If I'm in the mood for a dorty shag then, "Karma" by Lush. DH gets the message in a flash!

catastrojb · 19/12/2009 17:56

Chanel Chance - well i did, can't afford to get a new bottle!

JetLiHallsWithBoughsOfHolly · 19/12/2009 20:21

Gio by Armani is my absolute fave ever. Closely followed by Angel and the Origins Ginger fragrance

BlackYellowRed · 19/12/2009 20:24

Miracle by Lancome

Ondine · 19/12/2009 20:27

I wear MAC Creations Hue in Turquatic. It's really fresh. I hate the smell of Vanilla and it's one of the few i've found which isn't Vanilla based.

Plus it's not tested on animals which is a prerequisite for me for any make up. Riven you might like it? Or they do a pink one which is more floral?

BitOfFunderthemistletoe · 19/12/2009 20:28

I love the Angel ones. I have just bought La Rose Angel , 25ml EDP for twenty quid. It is absolutely gorgeous- Rose, obviously, but still with the chocolately vibe of the main Angel scent.

ln1981 · 19/12/2009 20:31

DKNY, though have just bought a ted baker one (was in the Debenhams sale thought id treat myself). its slightly heavier than i like but its nice none the less.

jemart · 19/12/2009 20:33

Currently wearing Burberry Brit Gold, also like Guerlain Samsara, Gucci Rush and Versace Red Jeans. Santa will be bringing me a bottle of YSL Cinema.

cyteen · 19/12/2009 20:34

Ondine, is all MAC's make up non-animal-tested?

Nowtheres4 · 19/12/2009 20:37

I love perfumes and choose depending on my mood.

princess by vera wang
stella in two by stella macartney
allure sensuelle by chanel
coco madmesoille by chanel
red by hugo boss
cashmere by donna karan
and a few more but can't remember of the top of my head.

Ondine · 19/12/2009 20:42

Cyteen, all MAC stuff isn't tested on animals. MAC also do the 'Back 2 MAC' recycling thing where you bring 6 used up containers and they give you a free lipstick/eyeshadow.

They seem a good company to me and I did do a bit of research into finding a mid range brand that was semi-ethical at least. Benefit test on animals btw.

cyteen · 19/12/2009 20:48

Oh, that's good to know. I'm a bit of a sucker for slap but mostly limit myself to Urban Decay and BWC because I automatically assume that all the big names test on animals.

Not a problem re. Benefit, I've always thought their stuff was a bit shit overrated so never buy it

triffictits · 20/12/2009 12:00

Chanel Allure Sensual
DKNY - The One

and my favourite Roderiguez Narciso is absolutely gorgeous - really classy smell.
