Smelling good?

Some fragrances still include animal products or are tested on them, Earthmother9 though obviously synthetics are cheaper.

Always CK Obsession for me, since it was first introduced. I wear it every day without fail and get through 3 bottles a year - cheap as chips now in some places.
I can’t smell it on myself.

www.theessencevault.co.uk/ try this link. I have used it a few times smells the same to me also got some for my 2 adult daughters who use the 'real' thing...They were both impressed as it was good for work or every day....

I love Estee Lauder 'Pleasures', I've used it for years and treated myself on my birthday this year.
Light floral scent.

A few months ago my godson gave me a hug and said ‘You look nice and smell nice too’. I was wearing Inis.

I agree with the M&S £10 perfumes there is a lot of choice and you can walk around with no pressure whilst you see if the smell suits you. I don't want to offend anyone in our GN community but my elderly neighbour wears Youth Dew and boy does it linger especially after a peck on the cheek. Good luck finding the right 'smell' for you.

Glossier ‘You’ and ‘You Doux’ are both gorgeous.

I think that has happened to me also. I like soft expensive fragrances. Or not real expensive. I use Marc Jacobs Daisy. And I find Channel #5 is to strong for me now. I like subtle scents, but noticeable.

Thanks for all your suggestions. I love the smell ofL'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream as a treat so I am thinking of giving the perfume a try.

I have given up on expensive perfumes. I buy the dupes because they are much cheaper and smell exactly the same . Ok they might not last as long on you but because they are so cheap you can spay frequently. I'll never go back to the big brands w
with the expensive and wasteful packaging.

Just remember that when you feel a perfume ‘lasts’, it might be overpowering for those around you!

I've just bought M&S Orange Blossom and Amber which reminds me very much of a Fragonard perfume I used to buy.

Has anyone ever used Cabochard? It's the only perfume I've ever liked.

My dear mother, now gone, used to wear Estée Lauder Youth Dew. I smelt some when passing through the parfumerie section of our John Lewis and it was as if she was there. Hasn’t changed a bit. Lovely scent - though quite heavy.

I love Oud Attar, vegan and cruelty free, and smells amazing. 🥰

Always wear Chanel no.5 , but in the Summer like Chanel
Chance.

Love and had people ask what it is ..Averages around £9 to £11.99
Ted Baker W EDT, Gentle and Sophisticated Fragrance, Fig Leaf, White Peony and African Violet Top Notes with Pink Orchid, Cassis and Raspberry Middle Notes, 75m

Armani Rush and Paco Rabane's Olympia Blossom are both lovely floral perfumes.

My favourite perfume is Coco Chanel, wish I could find a duplicate as it has become quite pricey now.

Llamedos13 I too love coco Chanel my Grandaughter bought it for me for my birthday I’ve been wearing it for years now I even have chanel lipstick and nail varnish

Hardly ever wear perfume. Went to a ‘do’ last week, put my bottle of ‘Libre’ on the bed ready to apply when I had got dressed.

Only when I was getting ready for bed at night did I realise I had never applied it!

Oh well…

Liz Earle Botanical Essence no. 15. Although not cheap it lasts for ages. I just love the aroma. 👍

I love Cabochard and have worn it on and off since the sixties.

I haven't worn perfume for many years now as I'm watching the pennies. However, after reading all the above comments I'm going to go mad and treat myself to some. This 83 year old will soon be getting admiring sniffs in the Co-op.

For many years I used and loved CHLOE. My daughter bought me a bottle duty-free and the perfume has totally changed. Why?
