Chanel Coco Madamoiselle.

Can't see what all the fuss is over Chanel No 5 - it just smells like baby talc to me, but Madamoiselle is nice.

When trying a perfume/after shave out - give it a good spray
Let it air dry out ...

Wander around for a good half hour to allow your own body
scent to adjust and set the scent .

This will always happen in the first 20-30mins of time .
Then you will get more of its 'true scent layer' matched to
your own skin scent .

Buy after this time allowance is most best .
As this is how it will truly smell on you .

And don't try more than two at a time - you'll just confuse your nose (or as my old mum used to say you'll smell like the bottom of a tart's handbag! - not that I know what that smells like )

Karma, by Lush.

Friends ( who get away with murder !) say I smell like a hippy's armpit !

Signy

Thanks for the up on that one!

I still like Estee Lauder Youth Dew, though some find it too much. Others on my dressing table are YSL Paris, YSL Cinema, YSL Opium. I've got half a bottle left of Jovans Frankinsense & Mhyrr. It's lovely but sadly I've not seen it for some years apart from on ebay for £60 a bottle. And half a bottle of Miss Dior in the bedside cabinet. Mr Chris likes Eau Savage and being an old hippy he likes patchouli

Calvin Klein Euphoria (must get another bottle soon)

Cerruti 1881 (for women, as opposed to pour homme)

I also like Avon's Far Away

Chloe or See by Chloe, Elie Saab intense, D&G L'Imperatrice for ladies.

Hermes, Hugo Boss night, Bleu de Chanel for men.

My faves, anyone like those? Any similar ones I might like to try? I think I may be slightly addicted to fragrances already though and may not need any encouragement!!

Is that the one smells like a turd covered in burnt hair.

Can't afford the shoes but I love the original Jimmy Choo perfume.

Yep OK I'll ask the question. How on earth do you know what a turd covered in burnt hair smells like?

chris lowe · Feb 8, 2015

Of course one way to try out a perfume/aftershave is chat to the lady on the counter and get her to give you some of those little sample bottles.

Bvlgari pour homme has been my daily spray for 5+ years now

I can't smell it anymore but the wifey notices if I change it so she must still

After reading the thread it reminded me I used to always wear jazz (woolworths stud) so I'm getting on eBay now and ordering some for old times sake!

britincali · Feb 9, 2015

Dammit ! Just cost me £70 to check the forum tonight !!!

Son went on a stag weekend to Hamburg and came round to borrow a polo neck and his Dads' blue cord blazer as they were going to do an Anchorman night out.

I haven't got one. I am allergic to perfume. I can't even walk through an area where they sell it and allow folk to test some. Sitting next to someone wearing it, say in a car or enclosed space, is awful. I just sneeze and sneeze.

Me too!

I find the more expensive (and strong smelling) aftershaves can give me head aches....I like Blue Stratos, because it has a subtle and pleasant aroma

I like a drop of Fenjal in my bath.
