I usually wear a perfume for a year or so then move onto something different. At the moment I'm on Miracle by Lancome, and the one before was Eau Oui also by Lancome. Only trouble is, perfume never seems to last on me - must be something in my skin. Another favourite is CK's Contradiction (sums me up perfectly LOL). Mandy :)

Daytime I like to wear Dazzling Silver by Estee Lauder or White Linen by the same. In the soaring heat of the summer I love Lancome's O de lancome so light and re freshing : ) Eve's and it just has to be chanel No5 or Coco. Have splashed out on all that for myself, hubby has to be content with soap and water LOL

Hubbys got loads of aftershaves! The latest he wears is Dolce and Gabbanna or L'eau D'issey.

I'm a bit like Mandy - perfumes never seem to smell as nice on me as on other people. I like Eternity but it's a bit too much for daily wear. I would like a light powdery/floral that's not too 'green' but have not been able to find one that doesn't 'go off'. Can anyone suggest anything? As for aftershaves - Paco Rabanne will have me following anyone anywhere. Unfortunately hubby has a beard and doesn't use after shave often enough for my liking !!

For evenings out I wear strong perfumes such as Elizabeth Arden's Red Door and Cacharel's Lou Lou. For daytime wear I swap between Miracle, Tommy Girl and one from Avon called Incandessence. Most of my perfumes have been gifts, I don't often buy it for myself. If I do I tend to buy the cheaper stuff like Charlie Red. As for aftershave, I love Kouros. Mel

I use anais anais for every day use and have just treated myself to YSL paris (roses) very nice. I also used tweed years ago, and anyone remember a perfume called Babe? Liz

Philip Report 28 Jun 2004 19:13

Don't know aht I use, I'm afraid! lol! I've collected a series of aftershaves etc over the years, usually Xmas prezzies from distant rellies. I suppose I'm just working through them! Paula tries to bring a bit of sense to bear, tells me what she likes and dislikes. Only problem is that sometimes the one she really prefers develops a jammed top or something similar. Ho hum..... give me a second life, and I may approach the whole subject entirely differently? Or am I beyond redemption??? lol! Philip
