Hi all,
It was my birthday today and I got the Ariana Grande Thank U Next perfume as my cousins had it, and it's absolutely divine. It's my new favourite.
I also love Gucci Bloom, Alien and Black Opium although I've never had them.
What about you? X

Angela Flanders’ ‘Kashmir Noir’. A gift from my son a few years ago and I’ve worn it ever since. Available from the AF shops in east London

I'm not sure I have a favourite.
My daughter always bought me Alien, and my grandsons buy it for me now, but I'm a bit bored with it.
I really like Jean Paul Gaultier (even if I can't spell it!)

Chanel No 5
I’ve used it for almost forty years and just never found anything to compare.

Elizabet Arden Red Door, love the smell and the bottle.

In the 70s my favourite was Tweed and before that Aqua Manda.

FH, I wouldn't do that if I were you (I suspect it rots your brain cells into pink, fluffy mush)!

FlyingHxndbag Sun 01-Nov-20 18:05:49

Oh right, May7, I didn't know that. I haven't been in Superdrug for quite a while, so I'm looking forward to having a sniff of all the perfumes. X

May7 Sun 01-Nov-20 17:08:15

I think Superdrug only have Vera Wang Princess FH Ive never been able to find it in the stores.
I usually buy mine online

FlyingHxndbag Sun 01-Nov-20 17:07:26

LadyStardust, I like the Victoria's Secrets body mists, however if I'm buying body mists, it's usually So...? although I don't limit myself to So...? if I like the smell. X

LadyStardust Sun 01-Nov-20 16:43:42

I currently have a bottle of Victorias Secret - Secret Escape, body mist. Very inexpensive, (less than a tenner for a big bottle) and a very light fresh fragrance. I couldn't pay some of the prices mentioned on here! Obviously, I have no standards. grin grin

I haven't smelt Rock Princess May7, but I've smelt the original Princess and I love it. I must try to smell Rock Princess, I'll be in Superdrug tomorrow actually, so I wonder if it'll be in there. X

May7 Sun 01-Nov-20 16:29:09

Vera Wang Rock Princess is my favourite and I love the black heart shaped bottle it comes in.

dragonfly46, sorry my mistake, I didn't realise you said Angel, I thought you said Alien. Sorry. X

COTY L’AIMANT
Little black bottle with pink dipstick anyone?

My mother’s favourite. She even had face powder and shampoo to match.

Mine is Carven Ma Griffe. First brought out in 1947.it is a chipre blend.

dragonfly46 Sun 01-Nov-20 15:22:02

Angel is made of chocolate and vanilla - quite different from Alien.

FlyingHxndbag Sun 01-Nov-20 14:31:55

dragonfly46, I love that, have you tried the one called "Blossom" from the Superdrug Layering Lab range? It's £3 and smells exactly the same, my auntie has it and everyone asks her if she's wearing Alien. The first time I smelled it on her, my exact words were "When did you get Alien? Lucky you." X

FlyingHxndbag Sun 01-Nov-20 14:29:16

The Suddenly one I meant. X

dragonfly46 Sun 01-Nov-20 14:28:42

Thierry Mughler Angel

FlyingHxndbag Sun 01-Nov-20 14:28:18

Daddima, I have that perfume, it's very nice, my colleagues bought me it as a token birthday present, as they know I like perfume. X

jroberts1 Sun 01-Nov-20 14:24:41

My favourite was Body Shop Cotton White. The bottle was wrapped in white cotton.They stopped making it years ago .I always test their new fragrances in case they bring it out under a new name but I haven't found it yet

Happy Birthday. flowers cupcake

My favourite is the Body Shop White Musk.

Alwaoys reminds me of my mother.
And Puzzler61 have you tried ‘ Suddenly’, the Lidl ‘ smellalike’?

My favourite is Agent Provocateur, bought online from Fragrance Direct at around half the shop price.

My wee auntie liked ‘ Coty Malone’.

(Not SJP Lovely, I meant it smells lovely). X
