Favourite Perfumes #4

I'm tempted by La Vie et Belle Vanille nude. It's not exciting, but a good vanilla musk that smelt warm and comforting. I can never decide after one spray, why are they so tight with samples? Going to go and have another spray today before committing.

I love this too. Try Boots for a good spray.

Do you have a ‘The perfume shop’ near you? You can get a travel atomiser filled for €12 in Ireland with any perfume they sell. I’ve done that with a few perfumes when I haven’t been able to decide if I wanted a full bottle.

Does anyone know of a perfume that smells similar to Givenchy 111? This was my absolute favourite in the late 80s/90s. I had a time when I couldn't afford to buy it and when I could again, found to my disappointment that it had been discontinued. It was brought back for a while but seems to be unavailable now. Just wondered if there is anything similar available. Thanks for any suggestions.

this was my aunts fave perfume - she buys this one now, think it must be the newer version? I cant comment on if they smell the same as I didnt get to smell the original - https://www.givenchybeauty.com/gb/p...4uWAAXYki0kg0sDjhMz4iROCIxhsf1EMPXbRpjvKmJLw5

Looking on fragrantica the notes are very very similar although not completely identical x

Dubliner here, I never knew this, thank you!

It’s very handy!! Think you get 5/6ml for €12 which is very good value! I’ve gone in and bought 3 or 4 at time and tried them out. If you do that then make a note of what perfume is in each atomiser because I got mine all mixed up and trying to figure out what was what was not fun

Many thanks for this, it does sound very similar. As it was always my favourite I think I'll treat myself before it disappears again. Best wishes x

Hi perfume lovers hope this isn't a brag post! I honestly just love talking about perfume and to be honest it's where my money goes the most on luxuries

I looked at my collection and honestly thought I'd done well this year not buying so many. Guess not these are all in storage boxes out of sunlight and honestly I feel like they should be stored much more kindly. How do you store yours?

Nice collection, I love Diptyque. I keep mine in their original boxes which takes up so much space 🫣. I have a few that dont have their own box because I bought them from resellers and I just keep them in some storage boxes on a shelf that doesn't get sunlight.

 

[Mamacita]

I keep mine in original boxes as well. I want them out but equally, the boxes do take up a lot of space. I actually find it frustrating that perfume has such nice bottles i want to display, but can't if i don't want them exposed wish they could all have opaque bottles

 

[Definitely Maybe]

@unfinishedsentenc if you could only keep say 6 of these which ones would you choose ?

Absolutely love this collection, mine isn’t quite as big but almost
I’m wondering which the 2 Burberry fragrances are in the pink bottles? I’ve never tried Burberry and im wondering if I am missing out?
Would you mind letting me know which ones they are and what they are like please?

I love this collection! There are a few of my faves in there I feel we may have similar perfume tastes so I've screenshot this and I'm going to use it to tick off some I've never used before.
I store mine on my dressing table. I like looking at the pretty bottles. I keep them out of direct sunlight though and if they are bigger bottles I leave them in their box in a drawer. I usually only have about 4 on the go at any one time and tend to have spring/summer & autumn/winter scenes
