Basically that really, I wear perfume every single day whether I’m out to shops or just pottering about at home,

I wear perfume everyday - Zara Fashionable London for everyday and Chanel No 19 for nights out (nights out? who am I trying to kid?! 😆, special occasions then).

At the moment I love Fame by Paco Rabanne

Mollygo Tue 22-Sept-26 21:03:26

My favourite is Fame by Paco Rabanne, but I have several other more flowery ones that I also like.

I think some of us don't really have a favourite.

I like to have lots of choice every day.

I know I have way too many but I love them all.
Some fragrances don't go with some clothes I think - and others are perfect.

I wear Mens Cologne as its less " flowery " and has more depth .. Angel for Men is Fabulous !

Daddima Tue 22-Sept-26 19:52:11

Another ‘Beautiful’ fan here, but I mostly wear Agent Provocateur. First by Van Cleef and Arpels and Chanel No5 sometimes too, as I like perfume every day.

Kate63 Tue 22-Sept-26 19:45:19

I love 24 Fabourgh and none of my friends have heard of it.
For everyday Clinique Happy is my go to.

Kathmaggie Tue 22-Sept-26 19:44:58

Dioressence in the Spring and summet. Knowing and Coco in the cooler months. I loved Azuree back in the day Fairislecable where do you buy it?

Dodo43 Tue 22-Sept-26 19:09:35

I too have, and enjoy, a number of perfumes... Knowing, Orange Vert (Hermes), Soir de Lune, Paloma Picasso, Coco Mademoiselle, but the one I would love to have but which has been discontinued is Helena Rubinstein 's Apple Blossom. Anyone remember it?

I am using 'Beautiful ' just now as my summer fragrance and will change to Black Opium for the winter. I do like to wear perfume every day.

Used to love Estée Lauder ‘Knowing’ then they removed most of the tree moss which changed the smell completely.
Moved onto Estée Lauder ‘Beautiful’ and have stuck with it for many years.

The one I have used for years and always go back to is Chanel Allure. But I also like the Jo Malone Sea Sage perfumes.
I was given a Sol de Janeiro gift set of perfumes for my birthday. I don’t particularly like them as they are sweet smelling. But at the moment use them for every day until I decide what to buy next.

Emeraldforest Tue 22-Sept-26 17:41:43

Opium,I much prefer the original, but I like all the Black Opiums too.
I have a treasured bottle of L'heure Bleu that I love too,and I'm going to save up for the new one .Honestly though I love all perfume and I don't mind a dupe,or good old Avon!

Nanny27 Tue 22-Sept-26 17:36:54

Ive recently discovered the Saltworks range. Brown Sugar is my current favourite.
For evenings I've worn Lumierre by L'occitane for.ages and still love it.

debsf1 Tue 22-Sept-26 17:33:03

I can never seem to stick to one or two signature scents, my dressing table is weighed down with an array of perfumes including 3 different La Vie Est Belle, Flowerbomb, Obsession, Chanel Coco, the now discontinued Elle and many more. I just choose a scent that I fancy wearing that day and I now try to avoid the perfume section in different stores otherwise I'll be buying more when I already have too many to wear..

Siptree Tue 22-Sept-26 17:19:08

Obsession and Aromatics Elixir. But sometimes for a light fresh summery feel Rush.

Mazgg Tue 22-Sept-26 17:17:53

I currently switch between Dolce and Gabana light blue and Sisley Soir de Lune given to by my daughter. I love Joy and have a dupe by Eden perfumes which is very good. Dior now make Joy since Jean Patou ceased.

SquirrelSue Tue 22-Sept-26 17:10:59

In the 1980's my favourite perfume was 'La Rochelle'. I wore it every day. Sadly it has not been for sale since the mid 1980's. I now like Orange blossom scent.

Hogie Tue 22-Sept-26 17:08:45

I use Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel and I love Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford for summer although it is rather expensive. My mother in her later years wore Miracle by Lancôme, a very close friend bought her a bottle one Christmas after she (my mother) had survived a tetanus infection that had her in intensive care for 3 months and hospital for 6 I think she thought it was providential! I kept the empty bottle when I was clearing out my parents house.

Sueki44 Tue 22-Sept-26 17:06:40

I’ve worn Chanel’s Allure for years . Used to have the matching body lotion and deodorant but they are discontinued now. Recently I’ve been tempted by Carolina Herrera’s Good Girl……

shoppinggirl Tue 22-Sept-26 16:53:17

My go to is Eternity Moment by Calvin Klein. It's my every day scent, light and floral and has been a favourite for years!

Estrellita Tue 22-Sept-26 16:40:31

I used to love Mystere by Rochas but sadly it is no longer available.

Diplomat Tue 22-Sept-26 16:23:38

Aromatics Elixir and Chanel No.5 are favourites. Just discovered Pink Pepper from M&S which is very cheap but is really pleasant and has a lasting scent, so good for every day use. I also like Poison which is quite strong.

Susie42 Tue 22-Sept-26 16:00:28

First by Van Cleef & Arpels and Miss Dior

Flippinheck Tue 22-Sept-26 15:56:41

Paradox by Prada has been my favourite since they released it a couple of years ago. Otherwise anything with a hit of vanilla.
