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

Spangler

^I tried Cinnabar years ago and my friend said that I smelled like a rice pudding!
I might try it again as I should like it . It’s also a lot cheaper than my favourites.^

Perfumes come in five basic types. These types include Perfume, better known as parfum Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne, and Eau Fraiche.

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 Cinnabar is a positive bargain compared to my favourites I already listed.

According to JL the current prices are :-

Estée Lauder Cinnabar - 50ml EDP £52
Aesop Marrakech Intense - 10ml Parfum £67
Aesop Marrakech Intense - EDT 50ml £65
Tom Ford Oud Wood - 50ml EDP £174
Tom Ford Oud Wood Intense - 50ml EDP £220

COTY L’AIMANT
Was just a random thought that popped into my head. I seem to be prone to a lot of them lately!
It was my Mum’s favourite in the 60/70s. My Dad always bought it for birthday and Christmas presents for her. I still have my Mum’s last one in a small bag containing a few momentos.

COTY L’AIMANT

My mother used to wear that.

That's one thing I miss during lockdown, trying different perfumes in JL.
I would never buy one because someone else recommended it, because they can smell differently on different people.

Little black bottle with pink dipstick anyone?

I haven't seen that for years, is it still available?

Dior Joy, and Jo Malone Seasalt and Woodsage

I wear Paloma Picasso. Have done for years. It seems to suit me and it stays on my skin. Not cheap tho!

YSL Libra isn't bad.

quizqueen Sat 31-Oct-20 21:57:15

I can't abide any perfume; it makes me heave to be close to anyone wearing any. Disgusting stuff; I'd ban it!!!

geekesse Sat 31-Oct-20 21:56:24

I love my half a bottle of original L’Interdit by Givenchy - much more charming than the new formulation.

Yiayia4 Sat 31-Oct-20 21:49:36

l’Eau d’lssey by Issey Mikake.
Happy Birthday

I hope you’ve had a nice birthday Flyingh. It’s always a joy to receive perfume and it usually lasts for ages.
I keep going back to Mademoiselle by Coco Chanel. Just a light spray over my head and let it fall onto my hair and my clothes.
