How many perfumes do you have?

None. I’ve not worn perfume since I was a young woman.

One - which I have used since a young woman - Miss Dior.

They actually changed it some years ago which annoyed me, but I now like it and continue to use it.

Just the one. Too expensive for more. Tom Ford Rose de Chine. 😁

I have three on the go, I love perfume & like others wear it everyday. I like to try new fragrances but usually drift back to old favourites. Current ones are:
Organza
J’Adore
Poison Girl EDT
I also love Lancôme La Vie est Belle & Coco Chanel.

I'm also a Jo Malone fan.

They are designed to be layered in any combination so I have been slowly building up my collection of 30ml bottles that I use everyday. I don't have a set combination, just whatever takes my fancy. It's taken me a few years to decide which ones I like the best (definitely the floral based ones) and I'm going to ask for one more for Christmas and then I'll have six different fragrances that I'll probably keep replenishing.

Sometimes I'll use three together if I'm going out somewhere special. I don't find they fade but maybe that's because I use more than one at the same time.

I'm often complimented on the fragrance but the downside is I'm unable to recall which combination I've used on any given occasion!!

So far I have English Pear and Freesia, Peony and Suede Blush, Honeysuckle and Davana, Mimosa and Cardomom and Poppy and Barley.

Most perfumes react badly on my skin. Those with musk just stink. The only perfume which had everyone mention favourably was withdrawn some 40 yrs back. But the men’s Brute? That changes when on my skin. Very attractive and nothing like it is on men.

I have several perfumes - 2 Burren Perfumery ones Ilaun and Winter. The first I wear in Spring and the latter as the name suggests in Winter. I have Paul Smith Roses which I wear in the summer. But wear Tom Ford Neroli Portofino anytime of year and also also Geo F Trumper Extract of Limes which is a cologne for men but very lovely! Also have some Ghost and a box of trial size Penhaligon perfumes which I tend to take on holiday. As previous commentators have said perfumes smell different on different people and are very personal.

I have one which I wear every day …La vie est Bell🙂🧡💜💚

Both my current perfumes were gifts from my daughter who is now a chemist but when she was a student she did a course with a French perfumier (I forget the name) but she has a great nose and can tell what perfume I'm wearing every time.
My special occasion and when I feel in need of a boost is Chanel's Coco.
My other, more daytime wear, is Miracle by Lancome but I don't wear perfume every day any more.
The last bottle emptied was L'Air Du Temps.

Me too

This has been a lively conversation!

It's interesting to hear of some who have only ever worn one fragrance, and others that have bottles and bottles, changing all the time. There are so many wonderful fragrances, and it can be overwhelming to narrow it down to a few.

Lizzypopbottle, your post regarding your grandson made me smile. I guess wanting lots of hugs is a great reason to smell nice!

Jools, I have also had O de Lancome, and it is lovely. While I will keep my evening scent as Zen forever, I do switch up my day scent, but only one bottle at a time.

When I finish White Tea by EArden, I will perhaps go back to O de Lancome, or Green Tea by EA. I'll have to have a sniff to remind me!

Dioressence is the only perfume I wore in the 1980’s and still adore today. Other perfumes from my past I don’t like anymore

I’m thrilled the Mitsouko has not been discontinued, going to look for some at the duty free next weekend.
I was gifted my first perfume at 17 by a patient’s relatives that I had been caring for as a Cadet nurse. It was Dioressence, gorgeous! I had no idea how expensive it was and had to have special dispensation from Matron to be allowed to actually have it as gifts that couldn’t be shared were frowned upon.
Pomegranate Noir is another favourite but I’m wary of wearing anything that could attract mosquitos on holiday.

Four:
Sarah Jessica Parker’s Lovely, my everyday perfume
For nights out/occasions I have Thierry Mugler, Angel,
Dior’s J’adore and Chanel No.5

Cerruti 1881 and Calvin Klein Escape for daytime and, for evenings, YSL Paris which is quite hard to get but not impossible.

Moschino (Italian - floral, powdery, spicy, vanilla) - their very first original fragrance, for 48 yrs, any time, all the time.
My one and only.
USA Gundy

I love Miss Dior that my youngest son and partner give me and they get in France for me . I like Inis ( based on the sea) and rose perfumes for a lighter day scent and quite often wear a perfume .

denbylover

Chanel No.19, for many many years. It’s getting difficult to find, maybe it’s been discontinued?

This is my favourite too, I’ll be very sad if it is discontinued.
Narciso Rodriguez (for her!) cos I don’t want to wear the above too often!
Red Berry and Rose, M & S for everyday.
Eden just to sniff because it reminds me of an aftershave DS used to wear and of a friend no longer with us …

Just 1. Amarige by Givenchy is my signature scent.

Armani Si and
Gucci guilty

Almost none buy when in hols never the same one and not been away much for a year Learned lesson buy small as my tastes change summer winter. And Savers have great cut price offers .

BlueSapphire

Mine are all Chanel!
No. 5
Gabrielle
Coco Noir
Coco Mademoiselle
Chance Eau Tendre.

Just wondering which one to take on holiday!

I rarely take perfume on holiday as it attracts the mosquitoes.

Clinique Aromatics and O de Lancome are the two I wear regularly. These have been my favourites for over 40 years since I first found O de Lancome at 18 years old 🥰

Just the one - Chanel 19 since I discovered it in duty-free in 1983! I have no problem finding it, always get it in either Frasers or Boots. I remember my DH commenting, after a spell of not being able to afford it, that I 'smelt like me again' when I got a new bottle!

Another Chanel Allure granny here. I've worn it for years and it was the last present DH bought me for my birthday exactly a year ago.
