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
I still love Cabotine (light and fresh) and Amarige (warmer) though the all time favourite is Je Reviens - must have a search online since I dare say it’s still available.
I loathe anything heavy, over sweet or musky. I’ve been known to use dh’s aftershave - he never uses the stuff he gets as presents (never from me) - don’t know what the current one is, in a blue bottle, but it’s very light and fresh.
The lowest priced Cinnabar is still expensive, so if it's a lot cheaper than your favourites, you must be one expensive lady. Kudos to you.
Spangler what’s expensive to one person may be inexpensive to another according to their personal wealth. £52 is about average for a perfume I would say. I certainly wouldn’t call it expensive though it is a considered amount and a lot to pay out for some people.
Jo Malone Red Roses. I’ve worn it for several years now and I’m often asked what it is, it seems to suit me. One of the little DGDs declared ‘Grandma, you smell delicious!’

Oh I love her scents. Not had the roses one. I like her blackberry and bay. I’ve also had her lavender and Amber. Delicious.
In my youth I loved Alliage by Estée Lauder but nowadays I stick to Chanel No.19 or Chanel Allure.
I don’t care for strong perfumes as they give me a headache and/or hay fever symptoms. My mum used to wear Opium which was eye-wateringly strong. Anais Anais was another popular one that really made me feel ill.?
I had a very good friend, sadly no longer here who always used In Love by Norman Hartnell, you always knew if she had been in a room. I would love to be able to buy it now but not been around for years.
and old favourites, Diorissimo, Diorama and Chanel Cristalle.
Does anyone remember Helena Rubinsteins' Apple Blossom? That was my favourite for years along with Coty L'Aimant, when I was younger (almost too long ago to remember!) but after I had my daughter, the scent completely changed on my skin.
Diorissimmo, scent of lilly of the valley, has been my favourite for many years. My OH always bought it for me in Duty Free but is getting harder to find.
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
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
