Another perfume one

I'd also like to get a wedding day perfume. I normally don't wear perfume but do wear a vanilla body already (by boots naturals).

I'm not sure what I want....I'm not a fan of bold florals or chanel no.5. I like the smell of vanilla, patchouli, and when they did perfume oils I loved the Body Shop strawberry oil. Any suggestions?

Dior J’adore L’absolu might be an option? Or Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb (which I love)

They both have vanilla notes and Flowerbomb has patchouli too.

Yes to flowerbomb it's gorgeous. Also lancome le vie est belle is lovely. Its a bit heavier but has patchouli and iris and smells sweet but not sickly

If you go on the website www.fragrantica.com you can search for literally hundreds of perfumes on there by putting in the notes of fragrances you like and they match them up. You can also put in perfume notes you don't like and it lists the best matches.
Just choose perfumes in left column then notes, then search by notes and you in put you likes/dislikes and choose women (you can also choose men or shared) .
I put in Patchouli and Vanilla and these were just a few of the matches that came up:
Coco Madamoiselle - Chanel
Miss Dior - Christian Dior
Black Opium - Yves Saint Laurent
Several Variations of Angel - Thierry Mugler
Midnight Poison - Christian Dior (and several other variations)
Very Irresistible Sensual (& Sensual Velvet) - Givenchy
La Vie est Belle - Lancôme
Hope this helps.

Try lush 'vanillary' perfume if you like those kinds of scents. I wore a lush scent for my wedding and they really last all day without having to top them up. Also won't be one that other people wear on their day or that goes around in trends! You'll always remember that smell was related to your wedding 😊

Wow thank you these are great suggestions. I'm going to go on that site, plus more down the ones you've suggested and go shopping this weekend Smile

see if you can get a body lotion that is lovely on your skin when you have a long day ahead of you

Thank you so much. I went to Debenhams and they were so helpful.

From the descriptions I thought I'd like Kenzo Amour, but it smelt...cold?

A lot were too floral for me, but the assistant was great. Really listened and I've ended up with Tom Ford Noir, which has lovely vanilla and amber base notes and it's such a lovely warm and earthy scent.

I wore Chloe Love Story on my wedding day. Not too sweet
