Does it?
A girl in the chemist was too over enthusiastic with tester and gave me 3 sprays on my wrist and I went home with 3 big itchy lumps.

I only wear Flowers by Kenzo. Everything else seems too strong for me.

I had a tester in some Elizabeth Arden stuff I bought I think it was called Pretty, seemed quite nice but not really enough to tell.

Anyone used that?

Maybe I just got a bad batch of Flower, it smelled like baby wee on my skin

Ask in Boots for a sample.. probably enough for 3 good squirts.

It is lovely I just cant smell it on me anymore but I always get comments on it.

I have never got that they stopped making Tribe

Lately I'm not wearing perfume. I like bodyspray. Impulse romantic spark.

I used to love tribe! (I though I was the only person who bought it )

Umm..last time we did this perfume thing apparently my tastes are chavvy anyway I am wearing Gucci Envy Me (Don't like the normal "Envy" as much) and I don't care I still like D&G Light Blue!

Other than that I like the oils from the Body Shop...I tend to like fruity ones...I love the orange one, it smells of satsumas.

I hate heady/musky smells...and strong smells give me a bad head, make me feel sick and tend to small like damp towels on me.

My other fave is discontinued...it was the healing garden's tea tree sensation...no other tea tree perfume smells the same...none are "right"

I still wear D&G light blue

Is that supposed to be 'bad' then?

Oh and I got a sample the other week of the new Boss one (the orange one) that Sienna Miller advertises...that's gorgeous. I may have to hint for that

Apparently so

But a nice smell is a nice smell...to my mind anyway

You can buy Tribe on ebay for about £80 a bottle. F**k that. Didn't like it THAT much

I love musky smells. Body Shop white musk is gorgeous as is Avons night musk. I also like Colleen Rooney's and Kerry Katonas perfume. Chavvy? I don't care

Marc Jacobs - Blush
Next - Just Pink
Kylie Minogue - Showtime
Chanel 19

Or we are starting to smell like grannies!

My nana used only one perfume. I'm sure it was called L'Aimant. It was in a pink bottle and when you took the lid off it had a stick attached coz inside it was cream rather than liquid. I'm not making this up....honest. I remember she always smelt nice

Sarah Jessica Parker - Lovely is my fav at the minute.

I have loads of perfumes so I'm usually switching it about but the SJP one went like lightening and I need another bottle

Paloma Picasso
Clinique Aromatics
Miss Dior, but can't seem to get it anywhere now!

I wear anything I like the smell of and dont really have any classics apart from Chanel Deodorant, which lasts for ages and at the moment I am using chance..if anyone knows where I can get a bottle of Tabu, please let me know!! I have hunted all over and I know it is still out there somewhere..it was my first smellie and me and me mates used to wear it to school, brut was a fave one as well..the tabu prob only coast about a fiver now but I dont care!! its about likeing the smell for me, not the price!

Is this it?

There's a lot of snobbery around perfume. I have a friend who wears cheaper stuff but if someone compliments it and asks what it is she says she can't remember so they don't find out it's cheap

My favourite of all time is HALSTON by Halston, and when he died the licence was withdrawn. I can still get it here and there, but is difficult.
Currently using Vera Wang..Princess
And Marc Jacobs....Daisy.

Hate with a violent passion that Clinique crap, where it seems to be every blooming woman of a certain age wear it. Not to mention at least 3 women at work. I don't know what's in it but it really makes me want to do something violent enought to be arrested for.

pur amour
