Your signature scent.

I’m quite jealous of all your chat about perfume. I lost my scent of smell years ago so can’t smell any perfume at all. However I do wear Chanel
No 5 as it’s my DH’s favourite scent!

Never been keen on perfume and rarely wear it. My late mother-in-law always wore Chanel no 5 and when she came to visit us my younger daughter would always greet Grandma with a hug and say "nice stink". Chanel No 5 will forever be "nice stink" in our family.

I occasionally use my husband's fragrances. Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille is lush on him but pretty good on me too!
Also his Tom Ford Plum Japonais - which may have originally been a women's or unisex fragrance but is perfect on him.
I think he "suits" heady perfumes with floral top notes and more male/woody/animal undertones.
The Jean Paul Gaultier Fleur du Male is another discontinued lush (and sexy) fragrance on him.. - but it's not very nice on me!

JamesandJon33 Avon topaze used to come in all sorts of bottle shapes, the one I remember was shaped like the old dispenser bottles they used to have on chemist's shelves, but obviously in miniature size.

I was once given Givenchy 'Interdit' as a Christmas present by our best man, who always had a thing for me, I think he was trying to tell me something!

Narcissi Rodriguez for her. Love it!

Imperial Leather.

I took ages to choose a perfume as a Xmas present from my husband. I'm not really very familiar with the many named by people here. I decided on Chanel Coco Madamoiselle. BUT.....its turned out to be a huge disappointment. I can barely smell it on myself or my clothes. Definitely no lasting power as far as I'm concerned!My husband is usually very astute about fragrances.....and he agrees with me. Soooo 😞 disappointed.

Ahh love that, reminds me of my sister 😔

What a lovely thread , so many many perfumes that I remember now reading this. I love channel no 5 and when my dad died 3 years ago treated myself to a 100ml bottle with the money he left me. Sadly on my first using I was staying in a lodge with a tiled bathroom floor , dropped the bottle and it smashed? I was heart broken. Bathroom smelt divine mind you😂. I kept saying I will save up for some more, but haven’t quite had enough to warrant it yet.

Angel by thierry mugler - love it!

Wearing Womanity at the moment buts it’s giving me a massive headache 😩

My mam liked Vanderbilt, I think it was called that.

I also liked a one from body shop but it was discontinued. Think it was called ?? Fig? Also rain flowers by Boots many years ago. Can anyone remember a scent called Manhattan?

Manhattan was that by Avon?

Gosh! Aqua Manda, that brings back some old memories 😊

I loved youth dew when it first came out ,it was expensive
Red Door was a favourite too, and then the old ones that we never hear of now,, midnight ,primitive, L'amont,Tweed,White fire,,,brings back memories..

& Laughter 😊

My favourite perfume is Very Irresistible by Givency, and I use Lady Million, as an alternative!
I did like Chanel 19 when I was younger.

These days qith my grandson living with me, it's a combination of talc ,baby wipes, sudocrem with a hint of napisan lol

As a teenager it was Avon Topaze, anyone remember that one?
Now I wear Channel Allure when given some, it is so expensive.

I use to wear Chanel Allure, but my niece bought me Avon So FarAway, I got way more compliments for the Avon perfume

Over 20 years ago I bought a Caroline Hererra perfume and it was called just “Caroline” I loved it straight away and it came with a small handbag sized bottle and a candle in a glass container! From old Debenhams.

I Can’t seem to find it anymore.

I also bought a Thierry Mugler cologne that was intended to be unisex. It came in a light green glass bottle and there was an interchangeable top that could be a sprayer or a shaker.

Does anyone else remember these two?

I use to like Estée Lauder’s Cinnabar, then started wearing Estée Lauder’s knowing.
AN Estée Lauder rep once told me that men loved Youth Dew, it was nick- named, “liquid sex” can’t imagine why?

Nowt nicer than the smell of babies🤣

I seem to have settled on Hermes 24 Faubourg and never feel dressed (or undressed) without a spritz of it. Been using it for 20 years now and I do sometimes try a different fragrance, but it never makes me feel quite the same. Interesting that it’s not just about the smell, is it … but about the way it makes us feel when we wear it. ❤️

Asthma that developed in my 30's so I have to be careful with any scents but I still have Chanel no 5 bottle (Cologne?) given to me as a 21st birthday present by my father many years ago. Dioressence was another favourite that I had a sample of but a favourite aunt bought me a bottle when she found out. I dont think it can be had anymore... citrus maybe?

🤣🤣🤣

I think my signature has been a green tea or citrusy floral. For years I've worn Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, and have veered off to White Tea, or O de Lancome.

I didn't realize I had a signature scent, but my daughter was out somewhere and instantly recognized it on someone else.

Every morning I have a spritz after my shower; to me it smells clean and fresh.

I have tried other scents, but always end up going back to this. As for the Jo Malone ones, I had a few small sample bottles, but to me they disappeared ten minutes after spraying, so I can't understand the expense.

Chanel Number 5 during the day.
Hermes 24 Faubourg if going out in the evening (it’s quite “heavy”)
Just bought what was supposed to be a replica of Helena Rubinstein’s Apple Blossom to remind me of my teenage years, BUT, nothing like - very disappointed.

Your right there 😊 though the napisan isn't the nicest smell 🤣
