Like a couple of others here, Chanel no 5 is my favourite, but I've been wearing Chanel Gabrielle this summer. It's lighter and fruity. Goodness knows why I only bought a small bottle last month on the ferry. I guess I was thinking I'd go back to no 5 soon for autumn and winter wear, but I do like the more modern one.
Gabrielle was Coco's proper name.

Inis cologne for day wear and Chanel no 5 eau de perfume for evening/nights out.

At the moment I’m enjoying YSL Libre, it reminds me of summer.

I loved Je Reviens as well Witzend
Now it's Eau Dynamisante during the day and Angel at night ( not that I am much of a night bird now )

Coco at the moment. I don’t really go anywhere to wear it.

Witzend Mon 21-Sept-26 21:33:32

Cabotine, fresh and ‘green’.

I used to love Je Reviens.

Aromatics by Clinique. I recently flirted with another one but hurried back.

I put it on as part of my routine every morning - that's it.

Juliette Has A Gun, Not Another Oud.

If anyone asks me what I’m wearing I say I can’t remember😉.

I wore Michael by Michael Kors for years, people often asked what I was wearing, I then started smelling it on other people and stopped wearing it.

Tom Ford. A birthday treat from my son as it is quite expensive.

Difficult to whittle it down to one, but I’m going for Aesop Marrakech.

Jaxjacky Mon 21-Sept-26 21:03:24

Same Georgesgran but I only spray when I remember!

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.

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.

Ziggy62 Mon 21-Sept-26 20:51:37

Ive been wearing Angel for the last 12 years but only if im going out

HeavenLeigh Mon 21-Sept-26 20:25:21

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