My all-time favourite is Guerlain's Mitsouko, tho I like most of guerlain's products.
And how's this for a demonstration of rising costs? I first bought Mitsouko in Dublin in 1952 and it cost me seven shillings and sixpence. The same size bottle in DJ's or Myers is now $175.00. I rely on duty free-shopping friends to buy it now - and it's still over $100.

I have Angel and Angel Alien, very strong and quite sweet, also wear Kenzo Jungle which smells of cinnamon, people always comment on it, not sure if in a good way or not though:unsure:

This may sound silly, but why don't you take a pen with you and when you've sprayed one on your arm write it's name over the smell, so later when it's worn in you still know which one it was.
Just remember to wear long sleeves:D

Funnily enough today this woman wafted passed me and her perfume smelled lovely, so I asked her what it was. She said Samsara by Guerlain.
Never been a fan of Guerlain.... am now though:)

Not many responses from the boys so here goes:

Cabotine - de Gres
No 19 - Chanel
Amarige - Givenchy
Tendre - Dior

Also, a friend :eek: wears Light Blue (D&G) which is awesome, but it doesn't work on everybody.

Streaks - strolling through Myer Karrinyup on the weekend saw they had No5 on sale....

I have today gone out to price up my favourite perfume Chanel No 5 and low and behold I couldn't find it anywhere in the shopping centre. My first question is does anyone know where I can get it in the Rockingham-Mandurah area and secondly what would you suggest I buy for a change. I'm not that clued up with perfume smells but I definately do not like Anais Anais type fragrances. By the way any strength of Chanel No 5 will do.
Thanks for reading

My favourites are:

Oscar De La Renta (Signature)
Kenzo - can't remember the name but it is the one with the single red poppy on the box (Flower?)
Joy - the most expensive perfume in the world

and for everyday (workwise) I love Clarins Dynamisante

The Kylie perfume smells very similar to the Britney perfume!
