What's your favourite perfume?

Chanel Allure has always been my favourite recently -- but memory jog crimson Californian Poppy !! - Didn't Woolies sell it back then -- I loved it !

I love Bulgari and of course, chanel number 5 always works for me. I also adore Diorissimo but it doesn't smell right on me, alas..............

At least the 'Anus Anus' would have smelled lovely..*nutty*!

Greatnan I liked Anais Anais until a lady came into the shop where I had a holiday job and asked for some "Anus Anus".

When I was about 14 my friends and I used to give each other 'Midnight in Paris'.
As an adult, I used Anais Anais for years, but I gave up wearing anythingn scented when I stopped wearing make-up.
I hate getting into a lift with someone wearing a heavy perfume (common here in France) as it makes me sneeze.

Absolute Guerlain tart here.

I adore Mitsouko, Shalimar and Apres L'Ondee. I wear one of them every day.

Arpege is my favourite perfume. I was introduced to it many years ago by an Australian friend and have had many many comments when wearing it from people who also love the smell. It can be difficult to find but it is stocked by Army and Navy and it is possible to get it, and many of the other 'old' favourites from Rainbow Flowers & Gifts on line in their Memory Lane Fragrance Store -- 4711, Apple Blossom, L'Aimant, Tweed etc.

I also started off a lifelong perfume habit with Kiku & Acqua Manda in the 70s but my all time fave is XS for Women by Paco Rabanne. I wore this all thro the 80s & 90s - and then they discontinued it; aaaaarrrggh!

I'm another summer/winter & day/evening perfume picker. In the winter I love Arpege & have just discovered Guerlain's Vol de Nuit. In the summer Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess, smells of coconut & holidays. Also lovely in summer is Chanel Chance Eau Tendre. Estee Lauder Beautiful is erm, beautiful all year round.

Such as California Poppy, maybe, Phoenix?

Pennysue Givenchy 111 was the first grown up perfume my mother ever bought me! I wish I could remember how old I was, but definitely still at school, maybe 15?

Perhaps she bought it because I might have been buying yucky sickly scents from Woolies!

I love Dior's J'Adore. Ma Griffe reminds me of my Mother.

Yes Yummy i still have some Paloma Picasso. I love it. Also in the summer Ilove Issy Miyake.

Can anyone remember a Palomo Picasso one? I used to wear it in the 90s (I think)!

Ahh..whenever I smell 4711 it always reminds me of my Mum. I use Coco Mademoiselle for evenings and special occaisons. Elizabeth Arden Green Tea for daytime. It's all SO expensive though!

Chanel No 5 is my favourite, but I also like Estee Lauder Beautiful, and when I feel very flowery I use Liz Earle's Botanical perfume! Have you tried it?

Just heard from the perfume supplier, they`re crediting me 50% of the cost back onto my credit card, so am quite satisfied. The leak must have been from faulty tops, because the bottles aren`t broken.

It has to be Chanel Mademoiselle as 1st choice then Clinique Aromatics.

Take a photograph to show the breakages.

Don't send it back. Transfer what is rescueable into another container, sieving it through a bit of nylon from old tights.

But what I am saying is that I don't think they should ask you to estimate how much you can salvage, they should refund you for all broken bottles, whether or not you could use any of what was in them. They should have packed them so that they were safe.

I`d definitely send it back if I could get more, but there isn`t anymore at the moment. For some reason it`s awfully hard to get in the UK.

If it was their fault the packaging was insufficient and caused them to break, I suspect they should refund you the whole lot. If you take the trouble to risk cutting yourself badly salvaging some, that is a bonus.

They have now said that if I unwrap them and tell them how much has leaked out, if I want to keep the perfume they`ll credit me with the amount leaked, so I think I`ll do that, and give my daughter hers as well, but it won`t be quite the same.
