What do you lot smell like?

InkedDoll, 27 of February of 2015 at 13:50 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 42

I know there are often discussions about wedding perfume in WP, but what do you wear regularly or occasionally?

My everyday perfume has been Thierry Mugler Angel for YEARS. Last year I couldn't afford to replace it for ages cos of wedding stuff, then I got some for Xmas and it just doesn't smell the same as it used to. Maybe my hormones have changed or something? I'm just not feeling it anymore. So I'm on the lookout for something new.

    Jean Paul Gaultier Classique is my signature but for Valentine's OH bought me some Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey - and I love it! It's very different but because it's new I can smell it so much better than my JPG. I also like Kenzo Flower and Calvin Klein Euphoria and Obsession. The big problem with perfume is it smells so differently on different people Smiley sad

    I used to love Angel but then found it a little sickly sweet. I moved on to Dior Hypnotic Poison, Gucci by Gucci (LOVE this one), Armani Diamonds ... they all have that smooth sweetish kind of smell.

    Go in to a perfume shop and tell them the kinds of smells you like and they should be able to recommend some. Or just go in to boots and pick everything up.

    Oh, I also bought my mother Boss Orange for chrimbo, it's gorgeous!

    Yeah, I think I may have to commit myself to an hour smelling everything. It's always so warm in Boots though, I get irritated in there really quickly.

    Hehe, great thread name!

    I mostly just smell like me coz I don't wear perfume everyday. It took us hours to find a wedding perfume we liked!! I went for lacoste touch of pink in the end but it is quite subtle. I've also got davidoff cool water wave, and I have angel too but I'm not sure about it. I've got quite a few perfumes actually, one of the diesel ones and the green apple one too, plus Calvin klein summer. Im desperate for davidoff night dive but have only found it at the airport, hoping H can get it when he goes away with work soon. Either that or I'm mad and never found it in the first place!

    I love this thread - I work on a perfume counter so I'm interested to see what people use.

    At the moment I use -

    Lacoste Eau De Sensuelle (probably my favourite)

    Chanel Eau Fraiche

    Escada Born In Paradise

    Superdry Orange

    The new 007 Woman is gorgeous and it lasts all day - but sadly I don't have one yet

    A couple of years ago my H bought me some Fraggle Rock perfumes from the Black Alchemy Laboratory - I had Red and Uncle Travelling Matt. I do like having perfumes from small indie companies - one of the things about Angel is that you smell it on a LOT of people.

    I don't really wear perfume unless i'm going out out. When I do, i'll give myself a spray with whatever is going! I have Calvin Klein Eternity Moment in the car, but i'm not a massive fan of that.

    Anais Anais is one of my favourites and that's all I'll usually buy- but I also love Armarni code (bought for the wedding)

    I had samples for Lady Million and Aire loewe recently though and liked those a lot too.

    When I go out, I either wear Euphoria Spring Temptation by Calvin Klein or Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. Don't like anything too heavy.

    For everyday use, I wear Kenzo L'eau de parfum, which you can only find in duty free. Because I'm awkward like that. I love it tho, its very light & fresh, not floral or sweet which i don't like at all. For "fancy" I use Dior J'adore, and just got a bottle of Chloe Love Story which I've been using sparingly as its more expensive than i'd usually go, and i want to use it for the wedding.

    I'm another one who doesn't wear perfume unless I'm going out. My favourite though is Yves St Laurent 'Paris' which I first got in duty free 9 years ago and still love now.

    Instead of Boots, if you find it too hot in there ID, try the larger department stores like Debenhams just for a spray to smell session - then just buy it in Boots if it's cheaper there ?

    I tend to rotate rather than just buying the same one.

    I like:

    Ysl -elle

    Paul smith -I think it's just called woman. It smells peppery to me.

    Diesel - loverdose

    For day to day I tend to buy the ones from next. Less than a tenner a bottle and last ages

    I'm JPG and have the silver, pink, summer and the new gold one, all classique but with a twist. The gold one JPG Intense is amazing.

    I'm a keen survey and sample queen so at the minute I'm trialing the new 007 for women and it's surprisingly lovely, high notes to start with and then settles into a musk based slightly sweet scent. I have some samples ID so if you want one I can send one, the only thing you'll have to do is fill in a quick questionnaire of what you thought. If you're interested pm me your address.

    Lol, yes I've gone through all the twists too and have loved them all. The distinctive JPG Classique overtones with new subtle undertones. Must try the new one. Sounds ace. I do like intense fragrances that linger Smiley smile I used to love Poison but never got on with Opium, found that a bit to overbearing.

    Jo Malone - Earl Grey and Cucumber

    Jo Malone perfumes are my favourite as they tend to be a bit different & distinctive.

    It's always been my fave too, but peony & blush is giving it a run for its money. In fact, last week at work two male colleagues told me I smelt beautiful, both said very quietly out of earshot of others...in my workplace heaven forbid anyone gives compliements!

    It has to be Coco Chanel, Chance by Chanel or Knowings by Estee Lauder. They all smell divine x

    I love Chanel perfumes, but they never seem to smell right on me. My fave is Chanel No. 5, but on me it just smells of soap ☹️

    I've always worn She by Emporio Armarni, or Jena Paul Guiltier- the mens one! People always compliment me on it and are surprised when I say it's mens. I don't love floral or girlie scents at all.

    HOWEVER. I am now newly addicted to Princess by Vera Wang which smells a bit like sweeties and has replaced 'She' as my all-time fave! I also wear Daisy by Mark Jacobs on a night out.

    I wear Armani Elle/She pretty much every day. When I go out for an evening I wear Ghost - Deep Night. I have a few others that I'll wear occasionally but those are my main 2.
