Hello Lillie, yes I wear it, and have done for quite a few years. I aggree with Lola, I sometimes can't smell it on myself, but people often comment on how lovely it smells. I think it's absolutely beautiful, a really classic and classy fragrence.

I love Prada (pink) and Sicily by D & G when I can find it. OH has treated me to some Nutmeg and Ginger by Jo Malone today. Have had Amber and Lavender in the past and really enjoyed it.

Hello Lillie,

My daughter wears Coco Mademoiselle. It is beautiful, I can always tell when she has popped in and I have been out, it lingers.

I have always worn Chanel No.5, apart from a brief fling with something in a yellow bottle called Kiku and another called Styx, these short affairs were when I was a student and money was short but perfume has ALWAYS been worn 24/7.


I can remember my mother smelling of it as she went out for the evening and when the bottle was empty I would have it. That glass stopper and the feel as you put it into the top of the bottle, and the black cord that held it to the bottle. The whole thing was perfect and the smell....a bonus!!!!

I can't count the number of times in my life strangers have actually asked what perfume I was wearing and how they loved it!!!

Oh goodness Marina, you've brought back memories. Kiku and Styx - I didn't wear them but I sort of remember the fragrance.

Was Kiku by Faberge? Can't remember who created Styx but I think I can still visualise the dark packaging.

I wore Estee by Estee Lauder in my younger days, it's still a nice perfume.

Hi gyp,
Kiku Faberge I think, a round yellow bottle? Styx was glorious, so sexy...or cheap!!!!! can't remember I think it was by Coty.

BTW, did anyone see the Dragon's Den episode with the Perfumier who wanted money to bring back forgotten scents? I think there were some retrieved from the Titanic. I wonder if he succeeded?

Annick Goutal's L'Eau D'Hadrien is my absolutely top favourite - I love the citrus notes mentioned. Several of the brand's other perfumes are wonderful as well - eg Eau de Sud.

My other top favorite brand is Miller Harris - particularly their Clementine Vert, and also their Petit Grain and Fleurs de Sel (but these two are really pricey).

Eau Dynamisante by Clarins is my everyday splashing fragrance - helps wake me up!

My strong preference is for citruss-y perfumes - another is Dior's Escale a Portofino. However, did try Tom Ford's White Patchouli yesterday and, to my surprise, liked it on first acquaintance - none of the sweet notes I dislike, and which rule out the majority of popular fragrances for me. Don't like any of the Chanel range.

My signature scent is Opium
I have been wearing it for over 20 years and just find it incredibly sexy.
During the day in the summer I like Loccitane Ruban orange and Verbena fragrances. they are eau de toilette but are so concentrated I can smell them on me the next day
For the autumn/winter during the day I like Hugo Boss Femme and Euphoria by Calvin Klein.
I also love Paul Smith Rose and Armani Code.
So quite a selection their!
Tanya
