MaryPortas big fan of Penhaligons
(as you would know if you did not "Take The Times")

i'll msn you ma number...dunno what I did with yours

gasp

I am deeply in love with Hermes Kelly Caleche this summer.

Love love love Cristalle fab for summer

Neroli by Laura Mercier is yummy but a bit heavier, wore it for my wedding a couple of years ago so it has goodmemories for me and is my "happy" smell

Lemon Verbena from L'Occitane is my current favourite

The Marc Jacob splashes are all lovely too, I have the grapefruit one from last year and everyone commented how nice and fresh it was.

Yes no5 is too heavy for me.
I love no19 & Allure.

Also quite like Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers

I've been reading this as "I'm bored of Channel 5" since yesterday and wondered why you didn't just change the channel.

As for scent - I love Marc Jacobs Grapefruit but don't know if you buy it here as I bought mine in New York. It's really fresh, clean and summery.

Eau Tendre gorgeous

Norky, you can indeed by Marc Jacobs grapefruit splash here

Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche is lovely, very light and perfect for summer. There is another "Chance" which is heavier which I use in winter. Also, Caroline Herrera's 212 is gorgeous.

Jean Paul Gaultier is my long standing all time favourite that I've been wering for years.

But I do now also love Paul Smith Roses,

and my summer holiday cheapy but love it fave of the past 2 years is SunnyDaze from marks and spencers.

I also like the coconut oil perfume from the body shop for those freshly showered drink on the terrace after a day on the beach type moments.

Another vote for Carolina Herrera 212

Kenzo Flower.

Has taken over from Viv Westwood's Boudoir as my number one fave, and have worn VW for YEARS.

Also like Marc Jacobs Daisy.

And L'Occitane Honey and Lemon for summer.

Try Penhaligon's or Annick Goutal.
