    Perfume

    Do you wear perfume? All the time, or just for going out in the evenings?

    Which types do you like? Are you loyal to one brand, or like to try different scents, or whatever is on offer at the Duty Free?

    I like perfume, but mostly stick to wearing it on evenings out. I like fairly light sweetish scents.
    Estee Lauder Pleasures and Flowers by Kenzo are two I have at the moment.
    Very little of either though, I see a visit to Duty Free coming up when we go to Spain!

      I also like Estee Lauder but I can't wear it on my skin so have to spray my clothes and hair , only use it on nights out but I use body spray everyday I like to spray my hair as the smell lasts longer , I can't have strong smells or anything with musk they give me Migraine , at the minute I have a violet and red berry body spray that's my favourite also a jasmine and orange , I like to smell nice but not overpowering

          I wear perfume all the time. my favourites are Chanel no 5 and Yves Saint Laurent Paris. I wear cheaper ones for ordinary daytime use.
          When we were courting(there's a word we don't hear much now) hubby bought me a bottle of Coty Imprevu, that was in the 60's. I have since bought it online, but don't see it in the shops now.
          The first Christmas we lived here, hubby bought me a large bottle of Chantilly with a matching handbag size bottle. I still have the small bottle, albeit empty.
          My gran only had a small bottle of Evening in Paris by Bourjois , can you remember that in the little blue bottle. It is now called Soir de Paris, and it comes in a more modern bottle. Oh, and 4711, who can forget that.
          Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

            Nan2, I used to love that 4711 as a teenager, and Aqua Manda bath stuff!
            Several years ago Chloe was my favourite perfume.

              I wear perfume every day, Ghost mainly. It's in a moon shaped purple bottle. No idea who makes it. I like musky smells & Opium is up there for me. My DD2 is like you tho Oma....musky smells give her a headache so I have to remember not to wear it when I meet up with her.

                I like Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden. I also have to buy it online as I can't get it in the shops.

                My Mum used to have 4711 on her hanky.Memories.

                    I remember as a child my Mother wore coty laimant, anyone remember it. There was a little stick thing you dabbed your wrist and neck with inside the bottle. Even now the smell of esteau lauder moondrops makes me think of Mum, that was her favourite in latter years.

                      At one time I wore perfume every single day, alternating between two or three. But any perfume gives DIL2 a headache, so I can't wear it when looking after the girls, etc. At the moment I'm got Shalimar Parfum Initial, by Guerlain, Palazzo by Fendi and, a complete contrast, Lily of the Valley by Bronnley. I've worn Lily of the Valley from various makes since I was a teenager. There are several perfumes I used to wear, but they don't seem to smell the same on me these days - L'Air du Temps is one. I'm sure your sense of smell changes as we get older.

                        Clover, may years ago I used to wear Apple Blossom by Elizabeth Arden, but I don't think it's available these days.

                            I remember Coty Laimant, with the stick thingy, it was in a black bottle, well mine was.

                              I remember Coty L'aiment, as well. I think it came in a bottle as well as a stick, and soap and either hand or body lotion as well. In fact, I think you could be covered in it from head to toe! I quite liked it though.
