Perfumes?

WhiteSparkles, 5 October, 2011 at 12:58 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 35

Have posted in BT but would like your input too please ladies...

Following on from allmc's thread, what perfume do you wear? I wear Chanel Chance and love it as it reminds me of my wedding but I want a new scent for the day time. I don't like potent perfumes- I recently sprayed myself with Hermes Kelly and I swear I could smell it for 2 days afterwards (yes I had showered), it was that strong! I also used to wear Coco Mademoiselle which I loved, but I worked with a girl who had terrible body odour and used to spray herself with it in an attempt to cover up the smell. Now it reminds me of BO ?

Recommendations please ladies?

    I wear a variation

    Vera Wang Princess & Rock Princess ( I love these people always comment on them)

    And Givenchy Very Irresistible..

    There is a women at my work who wear Angel I hate it she stinks wears far to much to cover her BO and you can smell her everywhere she goes.. Luckily she was moved to a different floor so we don't have to put up with it anymore! And she is to lazy to walk up the stairs!!!

    I am very boring, all I wear is Jean Paul Gaultier, day, night, wedding day the lot - I suffer with allergies and I've tried other perfumes that havnt agreed with me so I stick with what I know, I also think it smells amazing!

    I wear Coco Mademoiselle as standard but I don't have BO, honest (at least, I don't *think* I have BO...).

    I also, on occasion, wear Armani Diamonds. My all-time fave is Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey, but it's soooo chuffing expensive and my boy seems to have decided that he wants to buy me Chanel instead....

    Apparently Marks & Sparks Isis smells similar. My sister often buys that instead when she's feeling the pinch.

    I love ghost.. lovely and subtle but long lasting too (often I'll lift something to put in the wash and catch a little whiff of it as I put it in the machine (not BO I must add!!))

    I've got a bottle of the summer one on the go too, JLC, but always revert to the proper stuff for meetings or evenings. Lovely stuff.

    My absolute favourite is J'adore, but it is so expensive that I only wear it on special occassions and the ones for night out are Ghost Night (i think thats what it's called) and Boss Intense. For an everyday perfume I use Body Shop Oceana.

    The new Vera Wang one is gorgeous, i think it's called Love Struck.

    ATM I am wearing Vera Wang Bouquet but I don't really like it that much. Bought a 100ml bottle on a whim and now feel like I have to plough through it.

    Evenings I wear Flowerbomb - Viktor & Rolf

    I wear Hugo Deep Red and have done for around the past 8 years. I wear it every day and get a lot of compliments about how nice it smells. I love it!

    For daytime I wear DKNY be delicious green it's so light and when I'm going out etc it's Dolce and Gabbana, the red bottle. I am so fussy with perfume, a lot of it makes my nose and eyes run. I always end up with too much as people know those 2 are the only ones I wear.

    I am dying to smell White Gardenia Petals by Illuminum that Kate Middleton wore on her wedding day. My friend's husband bought it for her and says it's gorgeous but I haven't had the chance to smell it yet. Has anyone?

    I'm not really a perfume person, there's not many that I actually like.

    I have a bottle of Vera Wang Princess that I wore on my wedding day and a bottle of CKOne as it's one of my comfort smells. My son has started using it now so it's going down quite a lot.

    I also like Charlie Red (sad I know) as it reminds me of my youth.

    I'm going to look a bit of a perfume addict but here goes (in no real order)

    Naughty Alice - Vivienne Westwood

    Boudoir - Vivienne Westwood

    Flights of Fancy - Anna Sui

    Anna Sui - Anna Sui

    Floral - Paul Smith

    Gucci II - Gucci

    Chance - Chanel

    Eternity - Calvin Klien (which I've worn since I was about 14)

    Libertre - Cachreal (smells a bit like a lighter Chance but for some reason isn't for general sale in the UK)

    Happy - Clinque

    Be Delicious- DNKY

    LP No9 - Penthaligon's

    Ginger - Lush

    Imogen Rose - Lush

    I also have a few smaller purse size dupes from M&S that I use daily.

    I LOVE Vera Wang princess as its my signature scent, prior to that it was Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue which smells of being young and carefree.

    e bought new smells for the wedding, am currently sporting Lady Million (paco rabbane) it smells lush and really lasts.

    At the mo have a choice between: Daisy, Ghost, Coco and J'adore. Generally I would say Daisy is my daytime wear and mostly J'adore for an evening. I would quite like to get my hands on a little bottle of White gardenia petals, so think that will be going on my Christmas wish list.
