Who Loves Perfume?

[Ladylove]

Rouge what does Prada light green smell like?

I also regularly spritz Love, Chloe when I'm in a department store... It's so delicate and light. It reminds me of pears though I don't think it has any pear notes!

Rouge, Maybe Baby is gorgeous.

[Phteven]

The Love Chloe is the next on my list.

Glamourcide, I'm the same with Chanel fragrances. I love them on other people but they just don't work on me. Gah.

A big fan of Agent Provocateur here too. I wear the original mostly, so powdery and feminine - but Maitresse is a regular "sniff-by" in Myer.

Glad I'm not the only one! I love them on other people, too, just on me they come out so strange, I can't wear them You have to get Maitresse, I find it so much more wearable than the original AP - but then I much prefer Eau Emotionelle over the original. I think I'll keep it because the bottle is so gorgeous, but I can't see myself wearing it very often, it's a bit more 'woody' than I prefer. It gets great about three or four hours in, but before that I'm not a fan lol

I don't have a big collection because I like to keep my perfume fresh rather than sitting about going stale so I finish a bottle and buy something different.

I've actually only had that happen to me with a bottle of Avon perfume, Onyx - if you store them correctly, perfumes can last for years and years I have a bottle of vintage Dior Poison that has evaporated over time into a really concentrated, thick liquid - I don't wear it because it's so special, but it smells incredible, just like it did when it was bought. DH gave me a bottle for Mother's Day or Valentine's Day a couple of years ago and it's beautiful, but I hate that they reformulated it, it does smell different
I'm actually looking forward to my bottle of Cinema 'ageing' - the tester I tried at the chemist was pure vanilla, but the fresh bottle I have is a lot more floral - if the vanilla intensifies with time, that'll be fantastic


My favourite site for perfume talk is Fragrantica - it has a database of just about every perfume imaginable, with reviews and forums, perfume 'news' (things like upcoming releases, interviews with famous perfume 'noses' etc) and a whole bunch of other stuff - I can spend hours trawling around looking up perfumes and reading all about them

My first ever perfume was Chanel No 5 Can't remember how old I was when I got given a bottle.

I used to wear Poison or White Linen daily to school like other girls wore impulse (Poison for winter months, White Linen for the rest).

Daily I switch between

Chanel Gardenia
Chanel Beige
Chanel Cormandel

the other ones I use (Chanel ones) for going out

Got a phone call from my Chanel chick the other day about a new fragrance that has just come out, must head into Chaddy for a coffee with her to check it out.

[RhiChiChi]

Love perfume, have had so many different ones over the years such as Pleasures, Tresor, Jadore, Red Door, Sunflowers, Chloe, Nina Ricci Deci Della (sp?) can't get it now :-( I am alternating wearing Euphoria and Bouquet by Vera Wang.

My very first perfume I ever bought myself was Chloe. I was 14 and just got my first part time job. My second perfume was Estee Lauder Spellbound.

I love Angel and Innocent. I would say they are my favourites. I wore Angel on my wedding day and my DH wore Amen, which smells AMAZING on him.
I have been wearing Calvin Klein Eternity for an eternity!!! Since I was about 18.
Winter time I wear Joop and have forever also. I need to find myself a new winter scent.

I love Miami Glow, Escada Rockin' Rio, Joop All About Eve, Eau de Gucci, and Vera Wang Princess. I can not wear Eau de Gucci or Princess when I am pregnant though as they make me either itch (Gucci) or feel sick (Princess)

I really need to get myself to a perfume counter and find some new scents. I am another than can not wear Chanel. It smells like cat pee on me

[Glamourcide]

^ I'm seriously considering Innocent but I can't find a tester anywhere - tell me all about it! What's it like compared to Angel? I'm wearing Angel today, actually

[Ladylove]

I forgot- I wore Vera Wang the original for many years also.

[buffy1]

VW reminds me of you LL! It's the signature scent of one of my close friends as well - so I always associate it with gorgeous people.

One I wore for years was Gaultier Le Classique. Oh, I loved that one. Until I moved in with three other girls and we all wore it to death. To this day it reminds me of a messy uni house, with clothes and towels everywhere

[Rouge]

Prada light green (infusion d'iris) - bouquets, very floral that's the only way to describe it.

Maybe Baby is gorgeous - it reminds me of burlesque & lace. I don't know why but it just does.

On me, Innocent smells kinda incense-ish. Almost Nag Champa like but expensive. On others it smells vanilla-ish or even flowery. It is gorgeous.

Hey perfume-loving ladies... here's a hot Christmas tip Do yourselves a favour and pop a bottle of Pi by Givenchy under the tree for your man... and while you're at it, grab a bottle for yourself! It's a men's fragrance but it's so delicious, I'll definitely be pinching DH's once he unwraps it on Christmas Day along with his new bottle of Beckham Signature!
Also: YSL Body Kouros. Mum bought it for Dad and I can't stop following him around, sniffing him lol. It's sooo nice.

[RockingBaker]

I own Lady Million (got it for my 21st) and I love it but I want that as a more going out scent and am after a summery everyday scent. I'm hopeless at this stuff

[Lisa]

My DH has been wearing body kouros our entire relationship. It is his smell and I sniff it whilst he is away. I love it.


(Sent from my phone, so I apologise if it makes no sense.)

[Caz1971]

Loveeeeeeeeeeeeee perfume. I want to get Angel again (that Innocent one sounds great), havent had Angel for years. My all time fav is Hypnotic Poison (such a unique scent).

Love vanilla, patchouli kind of scents. Im abit out of the 'loop' with perfume actually.

[The[cookie]Doctor]

I am getting Rock Princess for Christmas which has me a wee bit excited I don really do scents because I am such a scrooge, getting it at half price was a bonus.
We got DH some Guess Man but I am disappointed because it is actually really weak on his skin, when we bought it it was fabulous.
