Your signature scent.

🤣🤣🤣

Asthma that developed in my 30's so I have to be careful with any scents but I still have Chanel no 5 bottle (Cologne?) given to me as a 21st birthday present by my father many years ago. Dioressence was another favourite that I had a sample of but a favourite aunt bought me a bottle when she found out. I dont think it can be had anymore... citrus maybe?

I seem to have settled on Hermes 24 Faubourg and never feel dressed (or undressed) without a spritz of it. Been using it for 20 years now and I do sometimes try a different fragrance, but it never makes me feel quite the same. Interesting that it’s not just about the smell, is it … but about the way it makes us feel when we wear it. ❤️

These days qith my grandson living with me, it's a combination of talc ,baby wipes, sudocrem with a hint of napisan lol

Nowt nicer than the smell of babies🤣

I use to like Estée Lauder’s Cinnabar, then started wearing Estée Lauder’s knowing.
AN Estée Lauder rep once told me that men loved Youth Dew, it was nick- named, “liquid sex” can’t imagine why?

Over 20 years ago I bought a Caroline Hererra perfume and it was called just “Caroline” I loved it straight away and it came with a small handbag sized bottle and a candle in a glass container! From old Debenhams.

I Can’t seem to find it anymore.

I also bought a Thierry Mugler cologne that was intended to be unisex. It came in a light green glass bottle and there was an interchangeable top that could be a sprayer or a shaker.

Does anyone else remember these two?

As a teenager it was Avon Topaze, anyone remember that one?
Now I wear Channel Allure when given some, it is so expensive.

I use to wear Chanel Allure, but my niece bought me Avon So FarAway, I got way more compliments for the Avon perfume

These days qith my grandson living with me, it's a combination of talc ,baby wipes, sudocrem with a hint of napisan lol

My favourite perfume is Very Irresistible by Givency, and I use Lady Million, as an alternative!
I did like Chanel 19 when I was younger.

My mam liked Vanderbilt, I think it was called that.

I also liked a one from body shop but it was discontinued. Think it was called ?? Fig? Also rain flowers by Boots many years ago. Can anyone remember a scent called Manhattan?

Manhattan was that by Avon?

Angel by thierry mugler - love it!
Cheaper to get it refilled at the fragrance store or john lewis.

Wearing Womanity at the moment buts it’s giving me a massive headache 😩

What a lovely thread , so many many perfumes that I remember now reading this. I love channel no 5 and when my dad died 3 years ago treated myself to a 100ml bottle with the money he left me. Sadly on my first using I was staying in a lodge with a tiled bathroom floor , dropped the bottle and it smashed? I was heart broken. Bathroom smelt divine mind you😂. I kept saying I will save up for some more, but haven’t quite had enough to warrant it yet.

I took ages to choose a perfume as a Xmas present from my husband. I'm not really very familiar with the many named by people here. I decided on Chanel Coco Madamoiselle. BUT.....its turned out to be a huge disappointment. I can barely smell it on myself or my clothes. Definitely no lasting power as far as I'm concerned!My husband is usually very astute about fragrances.....and he agrees with me. Soooo 😞 disappointed.

Ahh love that, reminds me of my sister 😔

Imperial Leather.

Narcissi Rodriguez for her. Love it!

JamesandJon33 Avon topaze used to come in all sorts of bottle shapes, the one I remember was shaped like the old dispenser bottles they used to have on chemist's shelves, but obviously in miniature size.

I was once given Givenchy 'Interdit' as a Christmas present by our best man, who always had a thing for me, I think he was trying to tell me something!

I occasionally use my husband's fragrances. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is lush on him but pretty good on me too!
Also his Tom Ford Plum Japonais - which may have originally been a women's or unisex fragrance but is perfect on him.
I think he "suits" heady perfumes with floral top notes and more male/woody/animal undertones.
The Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du Male is another discontinued lush (and sexy) fragrance on him.. - but it's not very nice on me!

Never been keen on perfume and rarely wear it. My late mother-in-law always wore Chanel no 5 and when she came to visit us my younger daughter would always greet Grandma with a hug and say "nice stink". Chanel No 5 will forever be "nice stink" in our family.

I’m quite jealous of all your chat about perfume. I lost my scent of smell years ago so can’t smell any perfume at all. However I do wear Chanel
No 5 as it’s my DH’s favourite scent!

In the 70's I wore Tweed for a while. Then I found in Boots store Ambergris by Alyssa Ashley in 1975 and wore this on my wedding day. I've still got the empty spray tin.
That was my absolute favourite.
There was another one by Alyssa Ashley out at the same time and that was Musk. I bought that as well.
I had Anais Anais for a while.
For the last few years I've worn The Body Shop White Musk.
Not quite the same though now as it's vegan.
In my bathroom I have and keep renewing diffusers with Patchouli and Amber fragrance. Gorgeous,

I like the scents but they irritate my nose and eyes, so I don't wear perfumes.

I used to absolutely love Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin but now I'm crazy about her Honeysuckle & Davana. It's so beautiful & I've never had a perfume admired so much . I also wear Estee Lauder's Modern Muse. I remember DH giving me a bottle when it first came out. Its lovely
