Perfume favourites and why?

Dior Je t'adore

Chanel No 5

Yardley Chique

Sandlewood or Patchouli Oil - takes me straight back to the 70s.

I’ve had many perfumes over the years but remember being given a large bottle with a lid covered in tiger fur. It was called tigresse and I think it was by faberge. I absolutely loved it and wish they still did this.

Pure by Issey Miyake always get nice comments when I wear it especially from my daughter! Chanel no 5 before but it started giving me headaches each time I wore it so ditched that now!

No.1 favourite - Chanel No.5. Been wearing it since I was 16 and always have a bottle of it.

2nd favourite - Blue Grass

3rd favourite - L'Aiment

They're all 'old' perfumes but all have happy memories for me.

Giorgio Beverley Hills
Nina Ricci L'air du Temps
Estee Lauder Youth Dew

They are all gorgeous and evocative.

I've worn Arpege by Lanvin in since I was 20. People know me by that.

Also like First by Van Cleef and Arpels, Opium, Issey Miyake, Giorgio Beverly Hills and Le Dix by Balenciaga.

Almost everything in the Jo Loves range does it for me but I particularly favour Pomelo. In my twenties it was Hartnell's in love. Bliss but sadly discontinued.

I just love Chanel No 5. I was once in a restaurant at the counter with people queuing behind me. The man behind me said I just have to ask what perfume are wearing, its gorgeous. In my younger days it was Blue Grass and Je Reveins but once I found No5 that was it.

At the moment it’s Jo Loves Green Orange and Coriander for me, or Jo Malone Vetiver. In my (very much) younger days, I liked Blue Grass, L’Air du Temps; and then Guerlain Samsara, Anais Anais and DH’s Cool Water after shave (Cool Water Woman is disgusting).

Coco Chanel ; I buy the Coco body spray as well. It makes me feel glamourous One day when really sprayed over with it I had three men tell me I smelt beautiful. (I was blushing)
I am out of it at the moment so time to buy some more it is expensive.

1. Samsara by Guerlain
2.Beautiful by Estee Lauder

Cambia, My favourite is Clinique Aromatix Elixir too. I first came across it in 1997 when an air hostess on a flight back from Seattle was wearing it. I've loved it ever since. I tend to use the body smoother these days as the perfume is getting so expensive.

Beautiful by Estee Lauder. Been using this for about 20 years.

Essence Rare by Houbignit, sadly can’t find it now but wore it on my wedding day.
Rive Gauche
Madame Rochas
Diorissimo
Miss Dior
Lovely !

Coco Chanel is my absolute favourite, but Clinique Aromatics especially the body cream which is as good as the perfume.

Obsession, Euphoria, Angel which is apparently known as the Marmite of perfumes, you either love it or hate it !

I’ve also just bought Youthdew again, after smelling it on someone else and it reminded me of how much I still love it !

Giorgio Beverly Hills, it is more off a evening perfume.
When I was younger I loved chique by yardly
I tend not to use perfume much these days.

I love Reve by Van Cleef and Arpels. It’s getting harder and harder to get.
Used to wear Charlie and Eau D’Issey.

Have been using Clinique Aromatique since it came out! Must be years and years. I can no longer smell it but everyone always asks what it is and says how nice it is! Annoying that I can’t smell it too!

I do love all Nuxe products. Just finishing a sample of their Nuxe oil and it smells divine. Definitely treating myself when I get back to the UK.

Is anyone else old enough to remember Schiaparelli "Shocking" and "Magnificence" by Molyneux? Both only suitable for very posh evening events but was young and wore them in the daytime and felt very glamorous! Nowadays I tend to wear perfumes from either Chanel or Dior but my daytime choice is usually Clinique Aromatic Elixir. This is a strange perfume since it does not change whoever is wearing it as others do, so we devotees can always recognise each other!
Last summer when others felt too heavy I bought Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass which must have been my very first perfume. Ah,memories!

I've loved Avon,right from the 1960s,then it was Unforgettable,also Pretty Peach,which was really for little girls but all us girls at work liked it. I've liked Far Away since it was introduced some years ago,I also like Far Away Rebel,and Eve Truth.I don't need any other perfumes when I can buy Avon.

It's strange isnt it (or maybe not as were all different) how perfume smells are attracted by some and repulsed by others. I've been reading through and have smelt most of them on here. Chanel no 5 seems to be a winner and one I like but cant afford . However Angel, Youth Dew, Poison, Opium ,Je Reviens, Musk oil
all make me feel sick. Really quite sensitive to perfume but I like Rock Princess by Vera Wang and used to put Georgio on my DD wrist when she started primary school
just to help with her home/school transition

We loved Blue Grass when I was at college (a long time ago!) and I bought Je Reviens When I got married

mrsgreenfingers56 with you re Coty Wild Musk Oil. My favorite of all time. In 70s my signature perfume. I was told by friends/colleagues they always knew where I had been. Possible I used too much!!!!!!I did not care. So sad when discontinued. Now I find DKNY range on the whole great.

I am addicted to Jo Malone ”Red Roses” but nearly all fragrances from Jo Malone can do

Anyone remember Oscar de la Renta? Haven't seen it for years.
