Neroli Portofino is my absolute FAVE ever ever I am so jealous! If anyone has any recommendations for dupes please let me know as I cannot afford to repurchase

I absolutely love it! Kinda kicking myself that I didn’t look at the price of it before getting the sample! Ah well, big birthday next year so will put it on my wish list In the meantime- I will have a search of the dupes

This one is pretty dead on as a dupe. I have simply blanc which is a Soleil blanc dupe and can’t fault it. I will say they may have discontinued it as it seems to be out of stock in a lot of places online but worth digging around for as it’s cheap.

Any recommendations for refillable travel size bottles to keep on the go? I have a couple of atomisers but find they leak a bit. I might try a glass rollerball style one next but reviews can be mixed on those too!

I really like soleil blanc but longevity on me was rubbish at that price. I actually find Paco Rabanne olympea reminds me of it quite a lot and Is much cheaper so I will probably get that for the summer

I have the FM Soleil Blanc dupe- hugely recommend!! I got 2 fragrances for £34 on offer ( they often have), Soleil Blanc and Bitter Peach. I love that I can reapply as much as needed with no concern of the cost

I think the FM dupes have great staying power

Has anyone tried L’Interdit by Givenchy?

I am a bit on the fence. I want to purchase a full bottle but I can’t figure out if it’s a summer or winter fragrance. Also, I like it but at the same time, it seems more suited for someone in their 50s (which I’m not).

I have a short attention span when it comes to perfumes. I usually start hating the scent after a few wears.

I don’t think it’s an older fragrance at all. One of my kids likes it. The original version was entirely different but the remake is quite youthful I think. I have the millesime, and the rouge. I find it has a hint of bubble gum type sweetness and that fuzzy smelling aromachemical.

I know what you mean - I had a sniff of this with my Aunt a couple of months back, she thought it smelt divine but I found it a more mature scent - just looked at the notes and I think it's the tuberose which I can't stand!

Im 36 and love it, that being said my mothers in her 60s and also loves it.

I definitely think its a winter perfume

I'm wearing M&S Discover Sunrise today and it's nice - not very long lasting I think but a nice summer one.

Trying to use up the last of an old bottle of Alien so wearing that today. Sorry to anyone who loves this but I absolutely cannot stand it I think I wore it far too much as a teen.

My Mum drowns herself in Alien, and it's not my cup of tea at all. So I bought her a bottle of Chanel Mademoiselle for Christmas and thankfully she's wearing that now. Said she's never had so many "oooh, what are you wearing, you smell lovely" compliments in her life

Give it to charity. Life’s too short!

I am wearing Caroline Herrera Good Girl Blush today.

Oh I would have done but there's probably only another 3 wears out of it max! Merely a dribble left

Ooo how is it? I've got my eye on that one

Its lovely. Its a pretty feminine floral which has an undertone of Good Girl in the background but its very subtle. Lasts pretty well too. I like it enough to want to buy another bottle.

My sample of Lira Xerjoff came today and the dry down smells of stale pissy nappy on me . Does not go with my skin chemistry at all

It's weird, isn't it. I used to love Hot Couture in my teens and Hypnotic Poison in my twenties but if I smell them now I feel nauseous.

Memory, chemistry, nostalgia and scent can really do a number on people.
