I have Nina - Nina Ricci - this is my 2nd fave
Cool Waters Women

I always stole my friends Versace Bright Crystal and she had another... for someone not overly girly i think i have an ok collection

I love perfume too and I also wore YSL Paris for many years. Then I moved onto Stella McCartney which i still wear often though I prefer this in cooler weather. I wore Bvlgari Femme for a couple of summers. Then I went through a break up at the end of one summer with a man who was less than ideal anyway so couldn't wear Bvlgari anymore. Then one day I blind purchased Gucci Envy as it was on sale at Priceline and only sort of liked it as it was not my usual scent but it intrigued me... In the meantime I had gotten back together with my first true love, we became engaged and because I wanted to wear Paris on my wedding day and keep it special I continued to somewhat reluctantly wear Envy in the lead up to my wedding, then on my honeymoon continued to wear it as the slight syrupy green fresh scent made sense in a humid tropical island climate... Needless to say with all the beautiful memories associated with Envy it's now my favourite summer fragrance! Does not work in winter though. I also now love Chloe edp- it's my new Paris.

Champs Elysses (sp?) by Guerlain and Beauty by Elizabeth Arden Mmmmm.....

Oh, and I stopped wearing scents for aaaaaaaages when pregnant with DS! I'm only just starting to adorn myself with scents, hence still having loads of the Boss, Cashmere, Be Delicious etc! Now that I've stopped wearing DD on my front - just was an unconscious thing, but I've figured out now why I stopped!

I love whit diamonds! Other favs are white musk, Japanese musk from the body shop and glow by jlo.

I'm another who has a large collection of perfume and wears it every day..

Some of my faves are:

Chanel Chance
Issey Miyake
Anna Sui, Sui Dreams
Vera Wang Princess
Black XS Paco Rabanne
Escada Signature
Intimately Beckham (The Original)
Amor Amor Cacharel
Good old cheap Red Door

Probably a few more but those are the ones I can think of right now..

I have so many I want to try!!

Def a thread for Glamourcide, the perfume passionista!!

[LaDolceVita]

Haha! Wondered how long it would take you Donna! I also agree on the YSL Cinema, LOVE it! And the old Body Shop Vanilla which has disappeared.. Brings back so many memories of when DH and I got together back in 04 and BS Vanilla was my every day scent, lasted forever!! Yummm...

I also like Britney's Curious In Control for a cheap celebrity scent, seems hard to find these days though??

Does Dior do a Dolce Vita in a pretty round bottle with some sort of spotty design on it?? I remember it from my Mum's collection and loved it, might have to hunt it down just for the memories..

[Glamourcide]

^ They sure do There's Dolce Vita in the round bottle with the 'spots', and Eau de Dolce Vita in a taller, elongated bottle with the same design I have a mini of Eau de Dolce Vita, it smells gorgeous! Ohh, which reminds me, I need to track down another bottle of Dune because I had an old-fashioned one with a stopper instead of a spray-top and the kids emptied it out... the carpet in my bedroom smells amazing, though

I wear Nina Ricci everyday it's yum. Sometimes I wear the Crabtree & Evelyn Vanilla scent mmmm. I've also got a little 5 pack of the Bvlgari scents, they're quite nice to wear at night for something different.

I used to wear Anna Sui - dreams but that just reminds me of highschool now hah. I wore White Linen for a while, I like it even though it's kind of an old lady scent. I liked it for work. I also wore Elizabeth Arden's Mediterranean too, that's a nice one.

I love getting into my nan's & my mum's perfumes.... Nostalgia central! I was in a perfume shop the other day and sprayed myself with Lou Lou... It reminds me of when I was little and we had to go stay at Dad's place and mum would spray it on my pillow so I didn't get homesick *sigh*

[nothing2lose]

Ahhh...Lou Lou...Is that you??? (remember the ad?!)

My first BF bought me Lou Lou for Christmas one year. I loved it!!

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.

[Phteven]

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.
At the moment I have
Issey Miyake
Chanel 19
and Gaultier Summer.

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'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.

[peanutter]

I love Armani Mania but I'm almost out of it, and I haven't seen it around of late ...

I also have Femme by Hugo Boss, but it smells different to me, post birth ... not sure why!

At the moment, I'm loving the Dreams handlotion by bodyshop. I don't like the perfume as much as the lotion, but there you go ...

[Smoke Jaguar]

Onyx, that's what I had been doing until I started working for an Estee Lauder company and had them gifted to me all over the shop!

Jean Paul Gaultier Classic, I have worn this for years and still LOVE it.
