Wedding perfume - something new or stick to what you know?!

Mrs Mack, 1 May, 2012 at 13:44 Posted on Planning 0 28

Was going to treat myself to some perfume with my birthday money. I usually wear Hugo Boss Orange or Marc Jacobs Oh Lola. I've tested Armaani Diamonds at lunchtime and am quite liking it so far, but was only a test patch on my hand and it does seem quite strong?!

I'm now not sure, and the woman in the shop said "Oh be careful what you choose, it will create a memory and you don't want to associate your wedding with a horrible perfume" - really missus?! Thanks for that!

    It depends if you have any strong feelings...
    I wore Thierry Mugler Womanity alot when I first got with my OH..
    so I think I'll wear that one because every time I wear it I think about him.

    Whatever you wear you will remember though Smiley smile x

    Haha well I'm sure you wouldn't actually buy a perfume you thought was horrible?? I'm going to buy something new because I only have two and I want something different. Might buy my OH something different for part of his present too, going to have a good hunt at the duty free in gatwick this Saturday!

    This was my wedding perfume. It wasn't that strong, despite the fact I also wore the body lotion as a base

    It's nice if a perfume has a specific meaning. We got together when we were 17, so I've outgrown most of those perfume! Am quite liking the armaani diamonds. i sprayed it on my left hand so I get a wee whiff everytime I answer the phone. It has calmed down a bit, think I might have found a winner.....hmmmmm.

    I always freak out about buying perfume but this is so much worse! haha I'm such a weirdo!

    I am going to try something new so I can smell it. Most of the perfumes I wore in the early days remind me of being pregnant and morning sickness. I cant stand the smell of them now make me want to ?.

    I went to Jo Malone and got one made up just for the day so that smell would always remind me of our wedding day. H did the same, well he got prada fpr men which he had never worn before, we wanted totally new smells which would always remind us of wedding and honeymoon and they totally do! We only wear them on very special occasions and the smells make us all fluffy and take us back to the day.

    I've never had the same perfume twice so all my past perfumes now remind me of happy occasions when I got them (birthdays, holidays, Christmas). I wanted to create a new perfume-memory so have bought something new (Viktor & Rolf) for my wedding day. I'm going to wear it on the day and throughout the honeymoon.

    I considered buying my OH the scent he had when we got together which I LOVE, but I don't want to be reminded of being 20 on my wedding day. Onwards and upwards.

    This is exciting. I have arranged to have a day and go to a big debenhams and smell lots of different ones. I smelt one which is new the other week which i liked but it was onky a soft smell and diddn't last very long on me so i need one which will last. I really like the stella one and that lasts for ages on me but i don't want something too overpowering. I love the smell of armani diamonds my sister wears it all the time and i sprayes it on me at the weekend to try it and it made me feel ill it really didn't smell right on me at all. So i will be staying clear of that and just admire my sister when she has it on lol.

    Perfumes definitely create memories for me too! Some instantly remind me of Christmas, others of nights on the town etc so I'm going for something new to create a new 'wedding memory'. Don't know what yet, maybe something top end as a treat and in the hope it will last well!

    I love diamonds. I treated myself to it a little while ago but it's nearly all gone now ☹️

    TBH since I still have AGES to go, I've given it no thought until I read your post, but I have a few perfumes I wear depending on my mood but I always struggle to find a new one that I really like so will probably end up using one I have already.

    We bought each other One Million for our first christmas together, neither of us knew that the other was getting it

    We thought about getting something different but it was extra money that we didn't want to spend

    If anyone is looking to buy a new perfume check out this site https://www.allbeauty.com/ I have found it to offer the cheapest deals in my experience (cheaper then duty free too) just make sure you click the UK location so don't end up paying loads for international postage and obviously go test it in a shop first to ensure you like it LOL

    I have been wearing the same perfume sine I was 16.

    Its Emporio Armani Elle, (the gold bottle).

    My other half loves it, and although he has bought me new smells (like Diamonds, which I adore), he feels that's a special smell to him, so will be wearing that on my wedding day

    I don't really wear perfume day to day, so the only perfumes I really knew were Tresor, which I used to cover myself in as a teenager (yes, very old fashioned scent!) and Oh! by Moschino which I wore for my first marriage. We went on holiday in Sept, so I spent ages in Duty Free trying out lots of new perfumes, and settled on Flowerbomb which I absolutely adore. I've started wearing it a bit when we go out so that on the day, I smell like "me" but a nice "me".

    I'm sticking with Euphoria by Calvin Klein as I love it - H2B always buys it for me ?

    I usually vary my perfumes often, but think this will be the one once I'm a married lady, as I'll always have good memories associated with it.
