Frangipane by Chantecaille
L'Heure Magique - Laura Mercier
For high summer and holidays - Virgin Water by Creed.

Do like No 19 though.

Mademoiselle MUCH less in ya face than Coco, oui

I heart Chanel No 5 but too intrinsically linked to my mater
for me to wear regularly.

WannabeMakeUpArtist · 24/05/2010 16:39

Coco Mademoiselle is very different to original Coco.. I love the former but hate the latter and also have the same Cats pee effect when wearing No. 5.

Have recently discovered Marc Jacobs Lola which I love and is my current scent of the summer!

I think its very difficult to recommend perfumes as everyones nose is different and what smells lovely on one person smells completely different to another...

noddyholder · 24/05/2010 16:53

i AM nO5 DEVOTEE BUT GOT BORED LAST YEAR AND BOUGHT AQUA di parma iris and I love it for day

cocolepew · 24/05/2010 16:56

Stop talking about me.

I keep reading the title as ... channel 5

SarahFerguson · 24/05/2010 17:29

I love D and G no 3

but I dont reckon it lasts, seems to disappear

my mate says its a good sign if you cant smell your own perfume

adn I'm not talking fanny whiffs

noddyholder · 24/05/2010 17:33

I have d and g 6 rarely wear it got it for xmas.I ALSO like paul smith rose which after about 10 mins stops smelling like an old peoples home and is really mellow

emsyj · 24/05/2010 18:05

Have you tried Estee Lauder 'Knowing'? Nobody seems to wear it except my mum but people comment on it all the time when she wears it. My sister wears it sometimes too. Also White Linen has a very similar 'fresh washingy' sort of smell, although smells very different on me. I gave my bottle to my mum in the end as it smells lovely and fresh-laundry-like on her but a bit cat pee on me. Pure White Linen is nice but a bit fresher.

Have you been in Penhaligon's and had a sniff in there? They have some more unusual scents that you might like if you like the very distinctive smell of Chanel No.5.

Coderooo · 24/05/2010 18:12

This is all interesting. Love aqua di Parma whenever I am in lunnon I have a squirt, cantcremember which. Will try knowing coco Mlle and cubs fanny whiffs. Oh no not that one!

I love small of D&G light blue but loads of the youngsters wear it.

EverVescent · 24/05/2010 19:08

Of the Chanels I love Cristalle a bit old-fashioned but lovely & light for summer.

EverVescent · 24/05/2010 19:09

And of Penhaligon's I like Blenheim Bouquet but I think it's actually made for men. And Lily & Spice but that's more winter.
