Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Do you wear perfume, & if so which one do you prefer? I love 'O' De Lancombe, 'Eau Dynamisante' by Clarins, 'Delicious' by DKNY & L'Occataines Lemon Verbena. All light,fresh & very citrussy 'O' I have worn for years & 'Eau Dynamisante' gets called Posh Mummy by my girls as its the one I wear on special occasions I cannot stand anything heavy or cloying like 'Poison' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackiepoppies Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I agree......I loathe Poison! Favourites are Cabochard by Gres and the original Lauren which I can't get now Jackiex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clur Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My favs are Happy by Clinique and Armani Code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My fave is Deep Red by Hugo Boss. I am currently wearing Coco Channel, but I like anything musky, spicy but sometimes like some floral and green perfumes like Ghost and 1881, especially in the summer.

The Dogmother Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Good thread Sarah I have worn Chanel Cristalle for the last 30 years, and like Sarah am identified by my fragrance. My boss always says that he knows when I'm in the office because 'it smells lovely'. Rosie once (when she was little) told another lady who was wearing the same scent..'you smell just like my mummy' The only exception that I make is Aveda Purefume Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Flowers by kenzo is nice ( a little sweet though ) Today I'm wearing my favourite Jean Paul Gautier. Love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alih Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Depends on the season. In summer I wear Jo Malone Red Roses and in winter, Agent Provocateur. I love perfume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMitch Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 (edited) I can't do anything flowery. I mainly wear: - Shalimar - Guerlain, Coco - Chanel Allure - Chanel Obsession - Calvin Klein Safari - Ralph Lauren Edited November 12, 2008 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Eau Dynamisante is lovely. My absolute fave is Eau Ressourcante. Very light and fresh. I can't abide heavy perfumes either. Estee Lauder Youth Dew puts me into status asthmaticus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madchickenlady Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My absolute favourite is Chanel Coco Mademoiselle. Gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I can't abide heavy perfumes either. Nor me Egluntine. I a friend of my mother always used to wear Poison and it made me gag. Looking at the fragrances that you like - try Dior's Eau Svelte; it's like Eau Dynamisante and really lovely. A client kindly gave me a bottle last Christmas and I have passed it onto Rosie, who loves it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I wear 'Lovely' by Sarah Jessica Parker It's light and not overpowering for all time wear. As a teenager I wore Anais Anais ALL the time. I do still love it actually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 I also wear 'Rose' by Paul Smith, but I need to be in the right mood And I used to wear Chanels no 19 when I was a teen, & would love to try it again. I also wear Cliniques 'Happy', but only when I am on holiday, as I have 4 sample sizes of it which are great for packing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moochoo Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I wear Dior Addict 2, it smells of pink grapefruit and is really fresh and uplifting. I also wear Sun by Jil Sander is smells like holidays, strangly enough. A cross between sun tan lotion and essential oils. It's quite unusual.

GKH Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Ladies - you are all wrong everyone knows the best perfume in the world is Eau de Chickie Poop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mutrix Farmers Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I wear Anais Anais in the summer (with pastel light summery clothes) and Amarige in the winter (with darker heavier clothes). Does anyone else wear perfumes according to the season or clothes colour, or am I the only nutter!!!???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I wear the same all year round .. but then I am not a shopper and dont get bought pefume so I wear what I have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I don't wear any perfume most of the time, but when I do it's Escape. I sometimes put a squirt of YSL Elle on when I'm in Boots. Can't afford it, but like the smell! Perfume is such an individual thing and I can't abide sitting next to someone wreathed in strong scent (Unless it's my husband wearing my favourite aftershave) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I wear Moschino's Cheap and Chic do wish it was called something else!! My daughter bought it for me when she had a xmas job in The Perfume Shop in Bluewater. She moans if I wear anything else now as just smelling it reminds her of me, bless. I also use Givenchy Summer something or other and Opium on occasions. I'm not very good with lots of heavy aromas so with Opium I just spray in the air and run through it and that is enough. I used to wear L'Air du Temps but that gives me migraines now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I don't wear perfume that often but when i do its usually Gucci no 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My love is Fendi and I also like for lightness Boss Femme - every day perfume- the Fendi is quite strong but really very very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omletina Kyckling Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My absolute favourite is Violetta by Penhaligons, which smells a bit like parma violets. I also like Coco by Chanel, Beautiful by Estee Lauder, Flower by Kenzo, Tentations from Paloma Picasso and Jean Paul Gaultier..... Anais Anais goes through a metamorphosis on me and I smell like cat pee..... Hubby once bought me a bottle of Diesel perfume for Christmas and was seriously disappointed because he thought it would smell of diesel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancing cloud Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I'm allergic to something (unidentified) in most perfumes, so have worn L'eau D'Issey by Issey Myake for many years. I keep trying to find something different, but haven't yet found anything I can actually wear that I like as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 My perfume of choice when I was a teen (so long ago ) was Body Shops White Musk. Can't stand it now! I also had a lovely bottle of L'air du temps. I did try a sample of Donna Karen Cashmere Mist, but I've not seen it anywhere in the shops to try it again as the smell in the mag testers is nothing like the actual thing I find.
