Perfume - what are your favourites?

My mother always wore Soir de Paris. I've heard it's been relaunched, so am going to buy some to remember her by. They do say scent is the most powerful sense, don't they?

My extravagance is 'Diorissimo, it smells of lily of the valley.

Current favourite is Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue. I bought it a couple of tears ago in Duty Free and it's been my favourite ever since.
Not easy to get, but has undertones of Lilley of the valley.

L'Air du Temps (Nina Ricci) and J'Adore (Dior) - but I very rarely wear perfume.

A colleague of mine always wears Chanel Mademoiselle and smells lovely - but when I tried a sample it smelt quite different on me, sadly.

Angel, Flowers and I like most of Burberry, Weekend my absolute favourite. My DM used to wear Blue Grass and 7947, I have her old bottles in a box, I have a sniff occasionally

Opium and Oscar de la Renta.

Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir, and her Lime, Basil and Mandarin.

Yves St Laurent full stop with the occasional bit of Chanel Mademoiselle thrown in from time to time. Wonderful!

I only wear Paloma Picasso and have done for years. However my daughter and I tried Kenzo Flower and found that it stayed on all day. Lidls perfumes are pretty good too!

My all time favourite is Anais Anais and I go back to it again & again when I fancy a light floral. However, currently wearing Jimmy Choo Exotic for summer and will wear Black Opium again when it turns colder.

I Used to go into my local A and N store and try two perfumes - one on each wrist - till I found the ones I liked. Kept sniffing all day to see how they hanged and how lasting they were.

I used to like Channel Allure, but have changed to Channel Chance, which is a lighter fragrance. I stock up each time I go through the airport to visit DD and DGC.

Wearing perfume is my luxury, I always have a small handbag size one with me.

If you want a change, best to visit a store and try a few samples on you before you buy, our personal chemistry can change them.

Posted the first one and it disappeared completely so redid it and then saw two but for me they are showing on a pink background and I cannot delete anything!

I use Clinique Aromatics most of the time but at the moment am using Esteé Lauder White Linen. Of the modern ones I like Angel. I have a few small bottles of things like Nina Ricci L'air du Temps and Fidgi - must have come in a little presentation box which I also use.

Clinique Aromatics for me - have tried others but always go back to that. At the moment have Esteé Lauder White Linen for a change - also I have a few small bottles of things like Nina Ricci L'air du temps I dab on some days. Found a small bottle of Fidgi last week when sorting out so having a go with that too.
I am not at all modern but I do like Angel

I'm with Fishpieplease and grannysue05 on their choices! Liz Earl no.15 is a fresh summery perfume! I also like Origins ginger! Pop into John Lewis and have a squirt of them!!

When we visited Harvey Nicks in Leeds earlier this year, got sprayed by a sales assistant as I was walking past. DH & I both liked it so much he insisted on buying me some. I'd never heard of it before, it's by Trish McEvoy and called Sexy 9.

Lancome - La Vie est Belle. Lovely soft powdery/flowers. Lasts and lasts on the skin. Everyone asks what the lovely perfume is.

I just bought some L'Occitane Citrus Verbena in the hope that, as it contains citronel, it may keep the mozzies away too. However, the smell doesn't last very long at all.

I do like Clarins

Givenchy Organza - smelt it first on one of those scratch cards you used to get incolour supplements at the weekend, what happened to those?

I love Miss Dior and treat myself to a bottle if I go to duty free.

Fleurs d'Orlane. Very light, summery and with staying power. I've been using it for decades .

The problem with perfume is that after a while you do stop smelling them I think its called attenuation you know there are people that arrive in a choking cloud of perfume/aftershave as they cant smell it themselves and overdo it. So I try to have a few different ones on the go. I still like Chanel No 5 for the summer and Cocoa and Opium for the winter.

Jo Malone Vetiver, and Just Jo Green Orange and Coriander.
