What's your favourite perfume?

If Aqua Manda was 'brown' was Kiku 'yellow' and in a round container..or is my memory playing tricks on me?

grumpyoldwoman I have just ordered a tiny bottle of Amazing Grace toilet water from Ebay. I will let you know what I think when it arrives.

My Mother in Law came into hospital when I had my 1st born with a gift of Tweed perfume, we had a rocky past and I think this was a peace offering but I could not stand the smell of it on me.

Ooh Pompa! (though do I qualify as a lady?

Channel 5 does it for me, assuming it's a lady wearing of of course.

I have some sort of weird metabolism that does funny things to scent. I remember being given the rather luxurious present of a Nina Riche perfume as a teenager which I sprayed liberally all over before going to a party. The whole evening was ruined for everyone there, going sniff, sniff, "What is that smell of rotting Brussels sprouts. I stick to the one that works for me, however old-fashioned – Chanel No 5.

Henrietta I remember Kiku, I loved it!

Ma Griffe by Carven.I've never seen it for years but I never wear perfume now anyway.
I bought a bottle of Ma Griffe on the day I found out I was pregnant with my first child back in 1969.I t always brought back happy memories when I wore it and I loved the smell of course!.

I'm wearing Noa at the moment as I love the way it smells but it doesn't last long.

Hearing of Aqua Manda reminds me - can anyone else remember Kiku?

Pagan mmmmm....when I wear this my 2 daughters..always say...ohh it reminds me of when you and dad used to go out lol.lol.

I was a Rive Gauche girl in my 20s but nowadays I find it really hard to find something I like.

Had a phase of wearing Ghost and am currently using Estee Lauder's Pleasures

Shysal...try Amazing Grace (Phylosophy)....I have the shower and body creme and it is so clean and fresh smelling.
I love Calvin Klien Euphoria and Elizabeth Arden Red Door.
A couple of M&S perfumes are nice too ...but don't last.
My mother always wore Tweed when I was a child.
I HATE Chanel No 5 and Giorgio Romano Beverly Hills ( that makes me feel physically sick)

Y by Yves St Laurent. Only available now on the internet but is still my favourite. My second favourite is Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. When I was younger I wore Paris and it became my signature fragrance with people at work saying they always knew where to find me

glassortwo - gosh I'd forgotten about 4711 but strangely a few weeks ago I found some sachets for refreshing oneself in an old handbag and they were 4711 - green and gold packaging - and my mother loved 4711 too.

I remember going shopping with my Dad and bought my Mum 4711.

THATS the one..but then you would know that as you're my dopelganger [albeit with a memory!].

Crimson - was it Aqua Manda?

I rather like after shave, which I started to use after a French student that stayed with us gave me a trial phial of Tenere by Paco Rabanne [I understand they don't make it now]. When I was newly divorced I used to wear a perfume by Barefoot Doctor called Chi Qui which was said to make you irresistable to men [it seemed to work at the time, but I had a few hormones left then so wouldn't bother with it now]. Remember wearing an orange smelling perfume when I was a teenager [does anyone remember what it was called; was in a brown bottle], and my mum used to wear Californian Poppy. Aha; Happy by Clinique..may check that out as I'm sure I asked someone what they were wearing once and that was the reply.

I have worn Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass since I was a teenager. I have never found another that I like, but of course I don't smell it on me any more.
I often ask what someone is wearing and try it, but on me everything seems too heavy. Any suggestions of a perfume that smells like fresh washing?

Joy by Jean Patou, Oscar by Oscar de la Renta, and Alliage by Estee Lauder.

Happy by Clinique, and a very cheap one Sunflowers Elizabeth Arden.
