What perfume do you wear?

HOOLAHOOP was the perfume you couldn't remember called Lou Lou. It was quite strong

Chanel 'Chance au fraiche' is lovely and crisp, Joe Malone 'Lime basil and mandarin, and issy myakie, also calvin kline perfumes are quite good for every day wear. when younger it was aqua manda, Charlie, Yardley moondrops and youth dew

grannyinmypocket...yes I can remember Kiku...wasn't the box bright yellow? Faberge did a very spicy one, as well...I seem to recall that it was in animal print type packaging.

Does anyone remember Envol - can't recall who made it but I just loved it - was in a beautiful shimmering blue box. It became harder and harder to find and then I couldn't get it in this country any more - haven't seen it for probably thirty five years.

Youth Dew was my first proper 'expensive' perfume and I wore it for a good few years.

I like the lighter perfumes and colognes by Liz Earle --there is a new Rose one out and By L'occitanlots of choice if you go in store Verbena is lemony and uplifting.

Coppernob white fire rings a bell thanks
5boysnan55555 thanks for reply but not Lou Lou x

Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass. (since I was 18)
Osca
Laura Ashley No 1
M&S Florantina
Chanel No 5
I keep to all these as they suit me well.

L'ancome Tresor
I was reading a magazine in the hairdressers, many years ago, and they'd asked men what they thought of various perfumes. Trevor was the one that made many of the men want to hug the person wearing it! Nuff said!!!!!

Tresor not Trevor!!!!! Sigh.....

Loulou by Cacherel has been my favourite for some years

Can anyone remember a perfume in a black and red box think it had a flamenco dancer on the front I wore it late sixties early 70,s

My favorite is Kenzo "Amour".

I think there was a post on the Martin Lewis money saving web site that you can buy perfume that is unpackaged (no box) at a cheaper price
I have not tried the site as my perfume comes via birthday and christmas times and occasionally duty free.
Also think that the big perfume houses would not allow their perfume to be sold this way.
Just as an aside did anybody see a programme around xmas time that said that most perfume was owned by the big 5 (I think ) perfume houses and that they also own the fabric softner scent.

Oh dear I have to admit to One Direction Our Moment for every day. I'm hooked. Going out its Dior Dolce Vita (not sure if correct spelling).

My favourite is J[adore by Dior. I wore it when I went to visit my newly born GS in hospital. As he was a bit fretty I transferred him from arm rest to shoulder cuddle and he just snuggled in. Imagine my horror when I went to lay him down and we could see his eyes had puffed up - definitely an allergic reaction. Nurse had to swab his eyes and call the paediatrician!!!!!!

He was FINE - not distressed and mum and dad were actually very relaxed about it (phew!!!) - both have sensitive skin.

But I am now a soap and water granny on my visiting days. My daughter says he is always so good for me - I do seem able to get him off to sleep no problem, but I say he is just 'keeping his head down' in case 'granny blinder' strikes again!!

I used to use Je Reviens and thought it was me when I tried it the last time. How can they change the formula of a perfume and still give it the same name, sounds daft to me. Most perfumes change on me and usually smell awful but I've found one, Noa by Cacherel, the original one, I've even had people compliment me. Not expensive either. Does anyone else have this problem of perfumes changing, for the worse, when you wear them, perhaps I'm in the minority!

Ruthiek, I've just Googled perfumes from the 1960's and got quite a lot of pictures, couldn't really see what you described, might be worth a look though. Trying to remember something is what keeps me from getting to sleep at night sometimes,haha.

I was dancing with a young man at the local Mecca. He leaned in towards me, fearing he was going to kiss me I asked "Can you smell my Charlie?" Exit young man stage left

I won't pay a lot for perfume as I have very little sense of smell anyway.

However, I do like LouLou and can only pray it smells as nice as I hope it does. I have been complemented on it once or twice so...

Could anyone on here tell me what they think of it please? I would appreciate comments, complimentary or otherwise.

I used to wear Le Jardin or Cool Water. Then I settled on Anais Anais which I've worn for about 30 years now.

Hello everyone. Love the posts. Grumpa, your's did make me smile.? Madforboys, I'm with you. I love Anais Anais. My DH used to buy it for me. He passed away just over a year ago and wearing it does make me feel close to him. I know it will feel strange buying it myself but it does bring back good memories!!☺️

Ruthiek Could it have been "Maja" by Myrurgia, a Spanish perfume?

Yes Grandmaz Kiku was in a yellow bottle, I think Faberge done one called Tigress it had tiger print packaging,

I adore Liz Earle no 15. It is the only perfume that when I wear it , I have been asked (a lot) what I am wearing. I also love Lancome La Vie est Belle and Tresor. Oh and hi everyone - first post for me

I have recently returned to wearing Rive Gauche by Yves St Lauren which I first wore in the 70's and grandson says I always smell "nice". Don't get many compliments these days so think I will stick with it but this has been a great post and have enjoyed the recommendations.

Does anyone remember 'Mooneind' by Avon? It was nice, but we all used to call it 'Lunar Fart'!
