Perfume

Thank youAskAlice I have just been on the web site you recommended and have found exactly what I have been looking for for some time. ??

Another First fan here!

Sisley’s ‘Soir de Lune’ is my forever scent. I have many many other perfumes but constantly come back to this. And for a heavier, evening scent Sisley’s ‘Eau de Soir’ is unbeatable.
I was once chased up an escalator at Waterloo station by a lady demanding to know which perfume I was wearing. It was, natch, ‘Soir de Lune.’

I love Gorgeous Gardinia by Gucci. I’m not normally a fan of floral fragrances but I was given a tiny free sample of this in a shop recently, and I absolutely love it. It’s floral and fresh without being too ‘flowery’ and a little lasts a long time - which is a good thing as it’s very expensive! I haven’t splashed out on a full sized bottle for myself yet - but it’s definitely going on my Christmas list (sorry for mentioning the ‘C’ word in September).

Simply Irresistible by Givenchy x

I absolutely love perfume and have tried most of the ones already suggested, if you are specifically looking for an everyday inexpensive one to wear daily I can’t recommend LOVELY by Jessica Parker, about £30 maximum.., endless comments of admiration i get when wearing this daily, it lasts for many hours to.

Clarins Eau Dynamisante is fab - a really uplifting fragrance and lasts a good while if layered with the body lotion

annsixty - you are correct about fragrances not lasting as long as you age. Here’s what might work for you - if your favorite scent has a companion lotion or cream, rub some lotion onto your areas of skin, then spritz on after the cream/had dried. The oil in the product will make your fragrance last longer.

Surprisingly, I get a lot of compliments on my perfume when I wear it. It is a spritz of strawberry and a spritz of vanilla; both bottles come from Superdrug and I just use a spray of each!

Sarah Jessica Parker’s Lovely is very nice and inexpensive.

Esmay - try Amazon for L’aimont. Search under Coty or L’aimont. I saw it about a year ago and I believe it is still being made. I used to wear Emeraud when I was younger.
Cheers!

L'aire du Temps from Nina Ricci is light, floral and fresh. A spray each morning lingers through the day. Always have a bottle.

Davidoff Cool Water.

Flowers by Kenzo is my absolute favourite

I like Guerlain's Aqua Allegoria range - they do various ones, but my favourite is the Mandarine Basilic. They're lovely light fragrances which are perfect for wearing at any time.

Years ago I used to wear Givenchy's Ysatis. Recently DD2 told me that as a child she used to hate "the smell" of it. She said that if I was wearing it when we were going out in the car it used to make her feel car sick. Nice to know all these years on! I never wear perfume these days and don't even know if Ysatis still exists.

Currently Jo Malone Green Orange and Coriander is my favourite, but I love L’air du Temps. I wore it when DH and I were courting. Samsara by Guerlain was another ‘go to’ for me.
Greciangirl I love Davidoff Cool Water, but Cool Water Woman is absolutely awful. Because I liked his after shave so much DH bought me CWW and I couldn’t stand it.

Elizabeth Arden either Green tea or White tea. Lovely gentle yet fresh and very affordable too.!

Happy by Clinique and the original Florentyna from M&S

Hugo boss. deep Red and Armani Si.

O de Lancombe,beautifully light.

I love CK One by Calvin Klein. Nice and light and not over powering.

Eden by Chacheral (excuse spelling!) It’s a reasonable price - about £35 for 50ml. I love the flowery smell and it lasts well, giving you that lovely ‘waft’. I stopped wearing it when someone told me it reminded them of their grandma ?? but then I thought ‘what the hell, I am a grandma!’ I would love it if my grandchildren remember my smell.

Jo Malone has beautiful floral fragrances, they are not the cheapest but they last well, my current favourites Orange Blossom along with Lime, Basil and Mandarin.

Also Jo Loves.

Aldi does a very good copy of Lime Basil & Mandarin in body wash, lotion and spray.

Grandmahigham - Lancome no longer make O. It was a favourite of mine for years. I like the Green and White Tea frangrances from Elizabeth Arden, to me they are similar; fresh, green scents.
