Which perfume is your favourite

I love perfume ever since mid teens when I discovered Estee Lauder's Youth Dew the perfume of choice to go top ranking! as was Oil of Patchouli at rock festivals.

My current favourite for quite a while now has been Eau de Merveilles by Hermes, I've always some Channels, No 5 and Coco Mademoiselle on the go. I've got a couple of perfumes by Maison Margiela, Replica range which I discovered fairly recently. My favourite of theirs By the Fireplace which has a woody Autumnal scent good for right now. I do like Jo Malone scents but they don't seem to have the staying power, unlike their diffusers which do. My latest discovery from someone I met on holiday this year, I couldn't help asking what her perfume was, I loved it so much I bought some. Zara's Fashionably London. I'm using that a lot, it's really not that expensive which is good.

I’m surprised that Coty L’Aimant is still available! IIRC we used to buy it for a GM at Christmas - in the 60s!

I wear fragrance every day, my go to smells are Jo Malone Sea Salt and Wood Sage, Orange Blossom, Lime, Basil & Mandarin along with Basil & Neroli.

I treated myself to their latest one Sea Salt and Bergamot, which is becoming my favourite.

Cerruti 1881 and often get compliments on it.

I am trying to find something that isn't tested on animals, or ingredients aren't tested either, that I like. In the meantime, nothing even although JoMalone has scents that entice me.

Easy! 'White Linen' by Estee Lauder. It knocks spots off any rivals.

My sense of smell seems to have diminished over the years and I don’t get the same pleasure from scents that I used to.

My flying DD has given me a good dupe (she says) of something I can’t remember from Saudi and I’ll use anything anyone gives me, I’m not fussy, although I like citrus smells now rather than sultry ones. I used to wear Youth Dew (I know I know) and you could certainly smell that!

Tha's a blast from the past -Coty L'Aimant and I love it -so hard to find.
I've also loved L'Air Du Temps and Vent Vert .
And here's another -Shalimar .

My absolute favourite is Joy, by Dior.

I can't think of "Tweed" without remembering my aunt who loved it.

madeleine45 mmy father's friend worked as purser for an airline and always brought mum "blue grass" products - from the airline. 🙄

His guest bathroom at home always had their hand lotion etc.

My favourite is still Chanel no5 but for everyday casual wear I like Anais, Anais by Cacharel which is inexpensive but lasts and for more formal everyday use, Amarige by Givenchy.

Snap for the first two!

I used to love Vent Vert by Balmain but sadly no longer available so I use Diptique instead.

Every day for me too - Obsession from 1985 (dallied with Jo Malone for a year) but back solely to the Calvin Klein. I get through 3 bottles a year - one in my bathroom, one in the downstairs loo and one in my car with a mini size in my bag.

Obsession is my favorite too.

Nina Ricci "L'air du temps" is one of my favourites at the moment. I still have a few bottles of variour eaue de toilette, of various perfumes from when I worked for an airline, and travalled abroad. Dont tend to use the stronger perfumes, as particularly when I am singing, if it is with a choir, too much varied amd strong perfumes make taking a deep breath to the diaphragm difficult. Cant stand the overpowering smell of Estee Lauder in a concert hall. Tweed and Cote Laimant remind me of my mother and I have in my minds eye, a vision of her in a rather lovely pink coat she wore for going out to something special in the evening, which was quite similar to that Cote Laimant colour. It is amazing though isnt it how a perfume on one person smells lovely , yet does not at all on the next perfume. I remember how suddenly I realized how important a boy friend was , when I chose my favourite scent to wear to meet him on a not very important date, so whilst it was used for special occasions in general I realized that I would put it on for him all the time. Ah days long gone!

Gucci flora ....the jasmine one

It has to be Helveti .
It's so expensive as it's made from real oud.
On Sunday I smelt something similar ,but cheaper -Jimmy Choo .
I still have some of my favourites including
Anais Anais Red Door Diorissimo ...

Knowing smells like Autumn to me .

But Lidl sell great dupes and I'm happy with Lovely .
It's cheaper than Avon !

Caleche by Hermes - I wore it first on my Wedding Day and Coco Mademoiselle. Currently flirting with Twilly by Hermes

24 Fabourgh by Hermes, red door, channel no 5...and so many old perfume that they don't make now

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker and White Musk by The Body Shop.

Aromatics Elixir. All time fav.
Other one Juliette has a Gun_ Moscow Mule.

Christian Dior - Diorissimo. A friend sprayed some on me for a party when I was 16 and I have been in love with it ever since.

However, it is a flowery scent -smells of lily-of-the-valley, so very much a spring/summer perfume. In winter I wear Elizabeth Arden - Blue grass. It is a warmer more spicy scent. I first came across it when my mother had some, but she moved on to Je reviens. I styed with Blue grass.

I've used Anais anais for more years than I care to remember!

I have worn Azuree by Estée Lauder since I was 17 every day.

I always have 1 bottle in use and a spare in the wardrobe.

I have tried other perfumes and although I like the smell they change to sickly sweet on my skin.

Today I'm wearing Kenzo - Jungle L'Elephant
Yesterday it was Serge Lutens' Serge Noire in the evening and Escentric Molecules' - Molecule 01 in the daytime.
I like to have several to choose from.
