Going to go back a few decades but since I was 18 I have always used Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden, its hard to get now but I still have a bottle and also Jessica Mclintock because it smells like lilies of the valleys

[Minusminnie]

I've used Blue Grass since late teens also. Was pleased when they brought it back after it disappeared for a while.  Went to buy a  Intuition Estee Lauder yesterday to find out that that has now been discontinued.  Why do they do that to customers who stick with perfumes they like.

Oh, nice thread scents always peri me up. I use a smalll company, Abbey Perfumery,  Hooga, is quite honestly a hug in a bottle, Joe Smooth is slightly coffee like ( smells far better than I can describe) which is a more up and get going fragrance, but their Terra Mirus is my all day whatever the circumstances scent.
Hard to but online but they do sets of trial sizes. Terra Mirus on paper was the worse sounding for me, but is 100% my fave!  Highly recommend the company.

Fragrance stirs up a lot of memories and I wear what matches my moods. Happy sniffing!

Wow this is an old thread 
Got to be YSL Paris for me or the original Dior Poison (in the very dark bottle)

[SarahT]

A woman I worked with wore YSL Paris and I used to follow her like a Bisto Kid( ages me) then I tried it on me.... And it was horrible.... Strange how fragrance reacts to our different skins.

Givenchy Very Irresistible for me.

Plus any that remind me of my mum,  so most Chanel, plus the cologne 4711. Want to go out and buy some now!

[jaypo]

Ha yes Sarah,is it something to do with the ph in our skin or something?

[SarahT]

I'm not sureJ Jaypo, but I just know never to buy something just because it smells good one someone else. And those testers on cards, may give an idea of you may like the initial scent, but it does have to be worn on you, and it evolves through the day too.

Penguin,4711! My first perfume aged about 6 given for a birthday present with a box of bunny rabbit hankies! The perfume long gone but I do have one of the hankies 50 years on!. When we lost my mum this year we found a huge bottle of 4711. Bought it home from hers but I am scared to open it as I think the smell may upset me, but too soon for me.

When I come out of a perfume shop,people give me a wide berth as I try them all up my hands and arms 

[jillydoll]

My favourites are Estee Lauder White Linen, & Calvin Kleins Beauty.  The latter being cheaper now.
Oh, and I found my old favourite one Ralph Lauren Safari. Quite like that still.

I'm not sure what's happened to my sence of smell lately but, a lot of perfumes AND air freshners i can't stand.
I spray air freshners and hurry out of the room. 😂

I have Channel no5,  Channel coco, and YSL Black Opium, and I'm not keen now.
Only one thing for it, .....to go round the perfume shops and try them.....making sure I take OH with me.

It’s funny I should find this thread because I’ve been thinking of buying a perfume, haven’t worn one for years but now you go into a store and there’s hundreds to choose from, impossible to choose! I used to wear SunMoonStars (does anyone remember that?) and Cerruti about 20 years ago. Might be wise to start with testing Chanel as they seem to be popular here. I’ve tested a few Tom Ford and Laura Mercier ones but none are grabbing me yet.

[jillydoll]

Dior have some lovely ones.

I remember those perfumes Kathrine.
Sunmoonstars seemed so exotic back then. 

I got a free sample of Alien today. Although I had that one a few years ago, the new one however is gorgeous.

Happy shopping. 

[Katherine]

I will check out Dior then thanks jillydoll x

[jaypo]

I love Dior but the newest poison is 🤢

[Katherine]

I loved Poison back in the day, when there were about 10 perfumes to choose from. Now there’s 1000s. How on earth to choose? It would take me my whole life just to test them.
