My fave perfume is L'air du Temp by Nina Ricci, I always have a bottle of it since I got it as a present when I was 18. I love Diesel Feminine Plus Plus which is really hard to get hold of now. A new love is Close to my Heart by Bella Freud. Another of my favourites is L'aimant by Coty, my mum had it when I was a little girl so I have loved it ever since, a good little dupe for Channel No5, which is another one my mum wears. Another fave is Alien by Thierry Mugler. Years ago Body Shop did a tobacco flower perfume which I loved but they discontinued it and I've never found one like it. I love fragrance but I don't know what category my preferences put me in so I can never buy online.

I am so obsessed with Delina exclusif by Parfums de Marly, I’ve decided to make it my signature scent..why does it have to be £230 though 😭😭

I’ve bought the travel sizes for my handbag though
 
Does anyone have any opinions on perfume dupes that are constantly being advertised online? I love any perfume by jo malone but just can’t stomach the costs! Would be nice to know of anyone’s experience or recommendations of any similar but a lesser price tag!

I really couldn’t get on with joy! I don’t know why. I absolutely loved the tester, smelt amazing but I don’t think it smells right on me. Do you use the intense one? I was wondering if it’s because I got the non intense one.
It’s the non-intense one, I can really smell it on me. Weird! I can’t smell Alien - Thierry Mugler on me and I love it!

Initio atomic rose is lovely..TF black orchid is nice on a cold evening out..I always keep a bottle of armarni diamonds in my collection as I wore it on my wedding day and my husband loves it ☺ Really like MFK oud satin mood as well. I bought BR 540 a couple of years ago and still sniff the bottle at least once a week
I really want to try oud satin mood!! I think more people prefer it to the silk mood (or at least I hear more about it)

I've never had a Tom Ford perfume, I want to try one so what would you all recommend? I like strong and heavy scents usually.

India Hicks Island night, a collab she did with crabtree and evelyn - smells incredible, got discontinued years ago :(
 
Is the lost cherry one sweet? Almondy?
I got a dupe for Lost Cherry and its soooo nice, I've been wearing it to work all week lol (definitely more a colder weather perfume though).
I got a sample of Wood Sage and Sea Salt and i love it so much, Jo Malone tends to disappear on me after a couple of hours though so not sure I can justify buying a bottle. I'm still hoping these dupe perfumes companies copy it.
I think I'd like this, it seems it's a sort of dupe for Mmmmm...by Juliette has a Gun and I love that one!

Been going mad with samples lately trying to find a spring scent, so far I've liked:
Tom Ford - Lost Cherry (not spring ha)
Jo Malone Myrrh and Tonka (likewise...)
Maison Margiela Jazz Club
Imaginary Authors - St Julep
Byredo - Mojave Ghost (this is GORGEOUS, I thought I didn't like fruity but this one...)
Dolce and Gabbana - light blue (this is a classic, used to wear it when I was a teenager so I assumed it would be rubbish and too 'teen' but it's great)

I really want to try:
Calvin Klein - Reveal
Mac - Turquatica
Jo Malone - Wood sage and Sea Salt
Chloe - Chloe
Ariana Grande - REM
 
I’ve bought a bottle of Atelier Cologne’s orange sanguine in the hope that it’s a better orange scent than Tom Ford’s neroli which I have decided smells like washing up liquid on my skin!
