Perfumes you've worn down the years

Blue Grass / Aqua Manda plus another in a cylindrical bottle waisted I think , bottle had gooves in and had a gold top !? Happy days.

Kiku by Faberge, Youth Dew by Estée Lauder, Amarige by Givenchy and currently Daisy Dream by Marc Jacobs.

At 16, going to a dance, a friend sprayed me with Diorissimo, from a bottle given to her mother. It smells of lily of the valley and it has been my favourite ever since. I, too, also love Blue Grass. I wear it mainly in winter because it is a warm winterscent. I am wearing it at the moment.

Apart from wearing other (much less expensive) perfumes that have a Lilt of the valley scent close to Diorissimo, the only other scent I have worn is eau de Cologne 4711.

I wore Blue Grass too years ago. Have loved for ages and still wear Anais Anais, Rive Gauche and Rose by L’Occitane. Not all at once! A new favourite is Clinique Aromatics Elixir.

Helena Rubenstein Heaven Sent and Anais, Anais.
I used to have bath on a Saturday night, using a sachet of Acqua Manda bubble bath, bought with my wage, from my Saturday job in the Co-op department store.
I thought I was so sophisticated!

Another one I used to love was L’Aimant - the little black bottle with a stick inside the lid to dab it behind your ears. The spray bottles never smelled as good.

Does anyone remember Cachet? I used to wear it to school in my teens. Thought it was very sophisticated. My older sister wore Charlie.

GSM, I think we have similar tastes.
Nowadays it's Jo Malone, Red Roses and I have a l 'Occitane solid rose perfume in my handbag.

I couldn't stop laughing last night, when my tipsy, future DIL, kept wittering on about old ladies, wearing rose perfume.

When I had my first job I wore Aquamanda I loved the spicy fragrance. DKNY Be Delicious Dior Diorissimo two favourites of mine. Most recent purchases Viktor and Rolf Flower bomb Mugler Angel and Goddess. My very favourite Flower bomb it’s absolutely beautiful.

I’ve worn Obsession almost from the day it was launched. The range is down to only EDT now - no bath stuff, soaps or lotions - only hope it’s not going to be discontinued in future. I get through 4 bottles a year, as I genuinely use it every day.

Cerruti 1881. I love it and even have a quick squirt before I go litter picking!

Obviously we are very fragrant old ladies Marydoll!

Diorella for me! But over the years- Ysatis, Chance, Youth Dew, Eternity.

The original Miss Dior was my go to perfume, then Chanel No5, then Coco.
At the moment I’m a bit hooked on Cucci Memoire. In the summer I tend to wear Clarins Eau des Jardins.

I have worn Anais anais for years and also like Cerruti 1881

As a teenager Styx. I used to love it

I’ve tried so many briefly over the years…. Hartnell’s In Love, Aqua Manda, Kiku, Blue Grass, Youth Dew, Mystere by Rochas, White Linen, Beautiful, Aromatics Elixir and at present I’m staying with Valentino Donna body lotion.
However, when I see adverts for suffering families worldwide it does bring home what an unnecessary expensive ‘commodity’ perfume is.

Somewhat older fragrances To remember : ‘Ma Griffe’ and ‘Gin Fizz’ were my favourites. Later I loved ‘Beauty’, was that Este Lauder? Now I am allergic to them all ! Sneeze my head off at the slightest whiff, I wonder why?

Youth Dew is the one I couldn't recall!

My all time favourite for years was Ghost Serenity, then, sadly it was discontinued.

Anais Anais as a starting perfume, following on I’ve used many over the years but favourites are Chanel no.5, Youth Dew, Must de Cartier which is a bit heavy for nowadays, and in recent years flowery scents from Jo Malone, Loccitane, Yardley and M&S floral collection.

Oscar de La Renta in the 80s as well as Chanel No.19 and White Linen. Now I love Daisy original by Marc Jacobs

Takes me back 1980s Anais Anais and Cerutti 1981 they now don’t smell so good on me
Have swapped to Prada and Mon guerlain but for something light love M&S Florentyna

My Aunt emigrated to USA and when she came home to Scotland visiting in the 1950s and 60s she brought me samples of wonderful French perfumes. They smelt amazing and have remained my favourites.
Miss Dior ,Rive Gauche and Shalimar come to mind. I also love Ma Griffe.
