Favourite Scents

[~landgirl~]

Hi Ladies

I was just interested to hear your favourite perfumes.

I stopped wearing it about a year ago as it was making me sneeze and my eyes water constantly. However - a friend dragged me through the department store at the weekend and we were stood in the perfume section from some time and do you know what, I didn't sneeze once!

Maybe it was a passing allergy, or maybe it was just that one type I had been using at the time. Either way, I am thinking of purchasing a small bottle and giving it a whirl, so would love to hear your suggestions!

My favorite perfume is Opium, unless I can get my hands on a heavier, spicey perfume. Only a little bit goes a long way!

 

[TabbyKat]

I'm a fan of Opium myself. That and Chanel No. 5.

 

[Fleur De Guerre]

I like Ghost Deep Night. Also, Christian Dior J'Adore. And good old Marks and Sparks have a nice range of perfumes and they're really cheap!

Mine are Thierry Mugler Alien, it's very lightly spicy, but a very unusual scent, I use it for day time in the fall and winter.

Armani Code for serious occasions like meetings or formal events, I think I wore it to my cousine's wedding but I can't quite remember.

For really romantic dates I use Cacharel Amor Amor, it's very floral and feminine, and it really makes you smell like you're in love


This summer I also tried Lancome Tropiques, I don't know if they've still got it but it's very nice and summery, I wear it daily in the summer.

Yeah I'm one of those oddballs with a perfume for every occaionlol

I was thinking of maybe getting a floral scent as a 'daily wear' perfume. I have been reading good reviews for Jean Paul Gaultier - can anyone back it up?

I think maybe I need a trip back to Debenhams!

I'm a big fan of Chanel Mademoiselle, Fragonard (French brand online..simply lovely) Rose de Mai. They're just so....romantic!

Rose scent

I love Crabtree and Evelyn's "Evelyn" it's pure rose, hmmmm....

You know, I want to love Chanel No.5 especially because it's iconic, but it doesn't do a thing for me...[huh]

Favorite Smell

I have to admit, that until about two years ago I never owned a bottle of perfume from a perfume counter... I bought myself a bottle of Benefit's Maybe Baby, and I love it!!
It's light and soft smelling, and a it lasts for a good while.

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle - it's all I wear.

Actually, I have a bottle of (regular) Chanel Coco that is sitting in my bedroom going to waste if anyone wants it. It's too heavy for me and I'd rather give it to someone than have it go off. PM me if interested.

I am sort of a perfume addict, I have tons of bottles! My faves:

Prada's signature scent for evening
Maybe Baby by Benefit for day

Excuse the intrusion...

But I had a girlfriend that wore Jean Paul Gaultier and it was... extremely entrancing!

Gok - that is a beautiful perfume I love it although dont have any at the moment.

I do wear everyday Jean Paul Gautier (the original pink one cant remember what it is called) - I love it. Hubby wears the mens one.

I also wear Anna Sui - Sui Dreams.

For special occasions I wear my Quel Ques Fleurs L'Originale - this is a gorgeous floral and as it wears changes scent on me.

I dont like a lot of floral perfumes but this is gorgeous.

My favourite favourit favourite which I cannot justify spending on is Soir de Lune by Sisley

But I had a girlfriend that wore Jean Paul Gaultier and it was... extremely entrancing!

Well in that case - it's definately worth a smell!

 

[RetroModelSari]

I love Kenze Jungle L?âlephant. It is hard to come by nowadays, but I just love the spicy and exotique smell!

 

[mysterygal]

Chanel No.5 is all I ever will wear. To me, the smell is classically feminine.

 

[VargasGirl]

You know, I want to love Chanel No.5 especially because it's iconic, but it doesn't do a thing for me...[huh]

Same here. I wanted some so badly for the Marilyn Monroe connection, but I took a whiff and thought "yuck." I was so bummed.

 

[VargasGirl]

My current favorite is Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue. It's actually a knock-off version, but no one has ever been able to tell the difference! The company that sells it would always stop by my boyfriend's work, so every now and then he would come home with a new scent for me to try. The Light Blue is my favrorite so far.

 

[Miss_Bella_Hell]

Chanel No. 5 smells VERY different once it's on your skin for awhile! On me it just turns into a baby-powder smell, but on my Grandmother it had always smelled heavenly!
