Perfume - what are your favourites?

Ohh, I'm bookmarking this thread! I adore perfume, and I've been looking for something new. I have used Chanel No.5 for years, but I no longer smell it on me, and my mother keeps saying it's too heavy for daytime. I like Angel, Opium, Manifesto and a Prada one I can't remember the name of. Keep the suggestions coming, ladies - I'm making a note!

Vicktor & Rolf Flowerbomb is a favourite of mine it is light floral fragrance and it is one of my favourites.

i love opium and thankfully my son keep me well supplied at christmas.
i have other favourites and, once, when i had the money i bought a bottle of each. unfortunately since then i've used them all up apart from one little squirt.
i'd love to get chanel no 5 again but it's way beyond my purse these days [plus some of the others - obsession, organza and rive gauche among them].
day to day perfumes which i like are the marks and spencer florentyna range - lovely flowery scents which smell expensive. they do one which is just called florentyne and the other is florentyna midnight flowers. not too pricey but last for a long time.

My all time favourite perfumes are Lancome La Vie Est Belle and Viktor & Rolfe's Flowerbomb. Another favourite is YSL Elle. I have to be careful with perfumes as my husband can be made Ill by some of the scents but even he is ok with these.

I adore Gucci envy me as it has a nice light flowery fragrance although I can't smell it as much as other people and it always gets complimented

I like anything by Marc Jacobs, Black Opium and Pure by Issey Miyake. I love pretty perfume bottles but feel sad that they have to be kept in the dark otherwise they lose their smell very quickly.

I once went into a local butcher's and was asked what perfume I was wearing. I think it would have been Chloe and the girl behind the counter said she like 'haemorrhage' which I thought was appropriate for a butcher - my friend told me it was supposed to be pronounced Amarige. The joys of a northern accent!

I now love L'eau D'Issey and Dior J'Adore.

I still like Anais anais

Oriel Earlier this year I went on a perfume making workshop at the Experimental Perfume Club in London and returned home with my very own perfume with which I am delighted. It was an extremely interesting and enjoyable workshop and I would recommend it to anyone interested in perfume.

I used to love Aqua Manda when I was a teenager.
My husband found it on the internet and bought me a large size bottle of it.
Unfortunately, I can't bear it now! It is way too strong for my liking and the smell lasts for ages on me. I gave it to a friend who also remembered it and she returned it to me.
If it were possible, I would happily give it away to either of the OPs who mentioned it.

Anything Chanel, (except Coco, although I love Coco Noir!). Going on holiday soon and I see that a new Chanel is out this week - 'Gabrielle' - so I might have a sniff of that going through duty-free!

Molecules 01
I've had to stop wearing during day time ( shopping etc) as continually get stopped and asked what perfume I'm wearing
It's like no other ......

Paul Smith's Rose gorgeous!!!!!

As a teenager I wore 'Pagan', which said on the box, 'don't wear this if you're only bluffing'..................I was certinly not bluffing..and to date, nothing remotely exciting has happened. That was 7/6d a bottle too.

Like a bit of Hypnotic poison now, which the kids assure me smells like Germolene.

Ysatis by Givenchy, and for evening Jungle by Kenzo. Both a bit expensive so I have to use them sparingly for special occasions.

I like anything by Estee Lauder except Youth Dew.
I remember some time ago going for an interview one evening . I had put perfume on in the morning before I left home as always & the lady showing me in said ' oh- you're wearing Amirige- how lovely!' I could not smell it all day but it was obviously still there so maybe we just don't notice our own perfume after an hour or so.
I wear perfume every day but my son works at Gatwick Airport at the moment so I get it for birthdays & Christmas & am well stocked up!

Jean- Louis Sherrer 2 & Germaine Monteil Royal Secret The body lotions my favourite as the fragrance lasted for hours.

radicalnan.Did you not wear 'evening in paris' ? I bought my longed for bottle of this with my first wage packet.

also a big fan of joe malones lime basil and mandarin

My staples are L'eau D'issey by Issey Miyake, especially the summer editions, Eros by Versace, L'air Du Temps by Nina Ricci, Pagan by Mayfair, Classique by Jean Paul Gaultier and Eternity by Calvin Klein.

I'm also a fan of Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb, everyone always asks me what perfume I am wearing!

Evening in Paris that brings back memories...........I must have invested almost a fiver in Pagan..........I may write and ask for a refund.

Only ever L'air Du Temps by Nina Ricci! first bought for me by a French boyfriend in May 1968... I was 20 then and when I was 50 discovered that it had been launched in 1948, the year I was born.

I love Dior blooming bouquet and guerlain pera granita. Part of their aqua allegoria range. Beautiful. However my wedding perfume Eau de givenchy bring back wonderful memories every time I wear it. My children recognise it as that too

Jo Malone Lime, Basil & Mandarin, lovely for summer and their Wood Sage and something or other for winter. Still usually keep some Channel No 5 and always surprised how much I love it.
