What perfume do you wear?

Reading all the threads, is bringing back lots of memories of the times when I wore some of those perfumes. Bluesmum I had forgotten about.'Mystere' was a particular favourite of mine in the eighties. In the nineties it was Clynique Aromatics(until my ex's wife started to wear it) In the sixties 'Fleur' by Yardley and Estee Lauder Youth Dew. Now in the noughties Miracle by Lancome Rogue by Rhianna which I smelt on someone and asked what they were wearing, It is powdery and lovely for daytime.

Hermes 24 Faubourg..always go back to it whatever else I try.

If I'm having a tight month, I revert to Lidl's 'Suddenly' which as people have pointed out, is a fair and very cheap copy of Coco Mademoiselle.

I feel horribly undressed without perfume - my first ever encounter with it was aged 12 when my mother's Avon lady gave me a small bottle of Avon 'Wishing' for my birthday. I adored it and felt so glamorous!

24 Faubourg by Hermes.
Almost all Penhaligon's fragrances, but not Bluebell.
Knowing, Estee Lauder.
My fall back is Chanel No5.

I loved Rive Gauche in the seventies, but they have changed the formula and it's just not the same nowadays.

I'm a perfume addict, have far too many but they're all kept in their boxes, in a leather storage chest, in the wardrobe. Kept in the dark they last more or less forever!

I wear a good perfume every day, whether I'm leaving the house or not, I wear it for myself, not other people.........although when I was working, if I wore Hermes Rouge, my male colleagues used to find any excuse to be near me.......maybe I should start using it again!

Estee Lauder Beautiful. It was on my mother's dressing table on the day of her funeral 20 years ago and I wore it that day to feel her close to me. When I tolf my father afterwards he gave me the bottle to take home, its been my favourite ever since. Also like Estee Lauder Pleasures and J'Adore by Dior

Ooh I remember Aqua Manda, I used to love that so warm and spicey!
I'm a bit of a perfumeaholic nowadays, my favourites are....

Bulgari pretty much all of the Omnia range
Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely
L'Occitane Cherry Blossom
Philosophy Pure Grace
Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlily

Does anyone remember Avon pretty peach or Goya black rose, I used to love those as well?

First by Van Cleef and Arpels, Channel No 5 ( I tried the Lidl smell alike, Suddenly Woman 1, and it wasnt bad), and Agent Provocateur, with AP being my favourite.

I used to wear Oscar de la Renta, and once the Old Man asked for a bottle of Lloret de Mar.

Chanel No 5 It is my luxury item. I even spray a little on when going shopping

Most perfumes smell like Dolly Mixtures on me after a while, except for Estée Lauder "Estée"' for daytimes, every day for the past 30+ years, and "mystere" by Madame Rochas for special occasions but I think this has disappeared from the shops now. When I was a teenager, Elizabeth Ardens "Blue Grass" was my very, very favourite then it seemed to disappear. I was overjoyed last year to find some in TKMax, bought a bottle, tried it and it is foul, nothing like it is in my memory!

Gucci Premiere or Lancome Elle

I use 'First' by Van Clef & Arpels - it is wonderful when I can afford it or Chanel No5 if I can't. I'd love to have a third? Can anyone recommend please.

Poeme by Lancôme. Fabulous perfume. have actually been stopped in a department store and asked what the scent was. It's gorgeous. Also love Madame Rochas...not sure of the spelling as haven't had it for quite a while but it is beautiful.

Jo Malone Red Roses
Mmmmmmm

I dislike all Avon perfume. They are so samey and sweet.

Paloma Picasso. No one else wears it so it is distinctive and my signature. It has a lovely smell and is the only perfume that stays on me.

I wear Oscar, by Oscar de la Renta. I have loved it ever since it was first bought for me by my DH the Christmas after we were married. I also used to like Cacharel Anais Anais, but sadly don't have either at the moment.

I remember Avon Occur, cream in a pot - I think it was quite a heavy perfume?

I hardly ever wear perfume, people never seem to notice it on me, and I can't smell it myself after first putting it on, and heavier perfumes really make my head ache.

I really like soft fresh smells like lemon, may try that Yves Rocher 'Verbena' or possibly the Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue.

I wear Clinique Aromatics Elixir and quite often strangers tell me I smelliest. Then I worry that I have over indulged!

Calvin Klein Obsession

LullyDully - I'm allergic to perfume now as well.

When I was in my teens and twenties I wore Hartnell's In Love because I was.

In my thirties and forties I wore Body Shop's White Musk which was lovely.

Oh yes, Fidji! Love that one. I first had that back on the '80s when a French exchange student bought me some as a thank you for putting her up.

DH bought me some Clinique Black Aromatics for Xmas which is lovely and lighter than the original. I bought DD2 Clinique White Aromatics which is fresher and she loves it.

We had a thread about this at least once before. I don't know if anyone else has changed in the meantime, but Chanel No 5 remains my all-time favourite.

I cannot use certain scents – Nina Ricci, for example – as something about my skin/body makes them smell like over-boiled Brussels sprouts!

I still like YSL Opium - And they do a light summer version, Issey Miyake, Coco are also on my shelf. When I go to airports I sometimes buy those little sample boxes with about 5 different ones in - good to for travelling and trying out different fragrances. . Has anyone tried the Lidl perfume that is supposed to smell like Chanel? It's actually ok for everyday but doesn't last.

I love Euphoria - it does something magical to me - I always have a good time when I wear it !! Seems to make me feel special, confident and happy . My wee grandson apparently ran around Aldi's shouting ' I can smell Gwanny, I can smell Gwanny ' , he had to be caught . Later he explained to me , sniffing my wrists that's the smell he was chasing - he must like Euphoria too !

Does anyone remember "Occur" perfume by Avon in a little pot?
