How many perfumes do you have?

It's such a personal thing, I used to love Balmain's Vent Vert but the one perfume I always have is Chanel no 5, which I love. I've also got Tom Ford's Black Orchid and several other perfumes that I use but if I want to smell like me, I always go back to Chanel no 5. Maybe old fashioned and a bit of an old ladies perfume but as far as I am concerned, it is just heavenly.

I've been a huge fan of Vent Vert for years and years. But you can't get it now. I was buying online but even that source has dried up. Anyone got any info on where I might find it - I think it may have now been discontinued. Nothing else seems to have that scent Vent Vert has!

Chanel No 5, Amarige from Givenchy and Rive Gauche/Paris (only the original) from YSL. I wear perfume every day.. like earrings, I feel undressed without it. I ask people not to buy me perfume etc as I won’t use it if it’s not the above. My mother once bought me a huge duty free bottle of a different Chanel “because it smells lovely on your cousin”. It smelt like cat’s pee on me so my cousin got it!
Bath stuff/soap/moisturiser etc is Bath and Bodyworks’ Orange and Ginger .

Anything by Chanel is always good for me especially Chance.

Aromatics for me by Clinique. I’ve loved it forever, and Lancôme’s La Vie et Belle is my go to for special nights out.

I have used the same perfume since 1983, when I was first introduced to it by a friend whose sister had brought her a bottle from Australia...I don’t think it was available in the uk at that time. It’s the original Estée Lauder Private Collection and I still love it all these years later. It was created for Madam Estée Lauder’s personal use, but then produced for sale to the public. It’s harder to get now and I dread it ever being discontinued.

JoMalone - mainly because I love the bottles!

I have two on the go Marc Jacobs Paradise and Flowers by Kenzo. I also used Estée Lauder Beautiful on my wedding day.

Ooh, Blondiescot- theres an Aldi dupe for it? Which is that please? (dont they have numbers or some such?) & is it still available? Need something as a 'day to day' spray when my Elisabeth Arden green tea runs out soon.I thought we had to discard them after 2 years like makeup?🤔 Having said that, i probably have 2 or 3 still in a box from last years house move that were already a year or 2 old.😆

I use Clinique Happy and have done for years, but also love Clinique Aromatics Elixir. I love everything Clinique do.

Jings, I realise now, reading this thread, that perfume is actually a HOBBY for me! I have about 30 bottles, and I change my fragrance on the first day of each month, so I am rotating scents through the seasons. I am mainly a Hermes girl, so right now I'm wearing Un Jardin sur le Nil; August could be Jour d'Hermes or Voyage - later in the year I will wear Kelly Caleche and Amazone and in the winter I will wear Eau de Merveilles. I also have lesser known ones, I like Roma by Laura Biagiotti and Ellie Saab Le Parfum. My all time favourite is Kiku by Faberge, which I wore as a teenager over 50 years ago! I can still find vintage bottles on Ebay in good condition. I have tried the Aldi/Superdrug dupes and while they are quite convincing at first sniff, they have zero longevity, and you would need to keep applying them every half hour. Quality perfume should only need one application per day. Regarding a previous comment about perfume deteriorating if not used, I only usually buy 30 ml size, and always keep each fragrance in its original carton, storing the ones out of rotation in a black box.

Chanel No 5 and also Jo Malone Lime Basil & Mandarin and their Wood Sage & Sea Salt - tend to use the LBM in summer and the Wood Sage in winter.

Only one, Joe Malone Red Roses.

L'ancome Tresor is my only one. I've worn it almost daily for years so I'm 'nose blind' to it and have to be careful not to over do it, but others appreciate it, including my small grandson! I started wearing it, many years ago, after I read a magazine article in which men had been asked what they thought of various women's fragrances. Several said that Tresor made them want to hug the person wearing it and I said to myself, "I'm having some of that!"

Over the years, one man in a queue at the petrol station asked me what it was as 'he would like it for his wife'. My grandson said, "Nana always smells really nice." My karate instructor likes it! That's the sum total of male attention but I keep wearing it in the vain expectation of spontaneous hugs...

About six or seven different perfumes. Evening perfume is Jo Malone, pomegranate noir. I have Sisley eau de campagne, Joy by Jean Patou, a few different Molton Brown ones, Bronze Goddess by Estee Lauder which I like for the summer. I also have an unopened bottle of Helmut Lang which I adore but has been out of production for years.

Clinique Happy every day. Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass for more special occasions

Only one Chanel Chance. Wear it every day - life’s too short to not enjoy the little treats. 😁.

One bottle of perfume, used maybe half a dozen times a year? Chanel no 19.

I really don't like most scents. Mens' ones are better than women's, on the whole, but I got outed for wearing Eau Sauvage at a posh dinner about twenty-five years ago, and my then husband was rather cross with me, so I swapped to no 19 and have worn it ever since.

Three on the go currently

Chanel No 5
J’dore Dior
Joy Dior

And two others in boxes unopened from my lovely step-daughter ! I love perfume. My poor cousin cannot wear ANY perfume after 5 minutes they all start to smell like rotten eggs !! My dear Dad used to travel extensively for work abroad so my dear Mum always had a mountain of French perfume - I caught the bug

I have 3 that I use at the moment.

My favourite for a number of years has been Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb and it's the only perfume I use where people have asked me what it is as they have liked it so much.
I've also got Miss Dior which I like and Chanel Coco Mademosielle which I find a bit too heavy for me.

I love perfume. Started with Evening in Paris. Went on to Blue Grass. Then came Chanel 5 (nothing like the modern 5, in my opinion).Coco Chanel. and finally Mitsouko. Love the latter and shattered to find it is now discontinued.(WHY?) Modern perfumes are very synthetic, understandably so. Still have most of the list in use daily!

I have worn Estee by Estée Lauder almost daily for nearly fifty years now, and I also used Mystere by Madam Rocha for evenings and special, romantic, occasions in my younger days!!! Prior to my Estee fixation, I remember using Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden, and I was so touched when my Step son remembered this from his very early childhood days and bought me a bottle on my last trip to Australia!!! I thought it smelled awful and cannot imagine why I ever loved it so! Of course, I could not tell him, so I had to suffer wearing it whilst with him!

I’m another perfume addict and have dozens. It is sad when nice ones are discontinued. I used to work with a very elegant woman who used Nina Ricci’s Farouche which was lovely. When I changed jobs I thought I would use it too but it had been discontinued! Why? It was gorgeous.
A recent discovery is ‘Warmth’ from the M&S Apothecary range which is only £10 and very like the crazy expensive Le Labo Santal 33. Quite a quirky scent, but I love it.

Just one - My Way by Armani, a gift from my sister last Christmas. Its a gorgeous fragrance, and the name totally suits my ethos - although I do tend to think of the Sid Vicious version of the song rather than Frank Sinatra

Most days I wear Agent Provocateur , with Beautiful on the go when I fancy a wee change. When the Beautiful’s done I’ll probably go for First or Aromatics Elixir. My previous ‘change’ one was Kenzo Flower.

Used to like Carven Ma Griffe, but it’s not readily available now, if at all. For many years now, it’s Clinique Aromatics.
