what is your favourite perfume?

I find mainstream does tend to have that strong alcohol base smell too. I enjoy lush scents because they don't have that, but I highly recommend Indie perfume! r/indiemakeupandmore will have you smelling like ANYTHING you can think of!

Halfeti

TheHootOwlofDeath@reddit

I love this too, the best Penhaligons scent in my opinion. Spenny though!

[-]

BearComprehensive703@reddit

I mean all the perfumes from that house are, but completely worth it.

I would just be conscious of all of the toxins in perfumes personally. Endocrine disruptions that are linked to breast cancer.

So also if you are wearing toxic perfume for others to smell, they also get second hand impact.

[-]

BearComprehensive703@reddit

I bet you smell like pure lavender oil

[-]

shuna3456@reddit

Pheromones

[-]

BearComprehensive703@reddit

Yeah those are known for not having an impact on anyone

[-]

shuna3456@reddit

Mine are very potent

[-]

BearComprehensive703@reddit

I was being sarcastic, you're deploring the effect of perfume ingredients on others while drowning them in synthetic roofie vapors...

[-]

Charming-Clock-3651@reddit

What toxins are you referring to specifically?

[-]

shuna3456@reddit

Phalates mostly

If you like florals, l'Occitane has this 'Neroli and Orchidee' that's really good.

[-]

elliottj6325@reddit

I actually still use Calvin Klein's "One". I smelt it first about 20 something years ago, and loved it then, and have often just come back to it. I like how it's quite unisex (and often prefer male cologne type smells to the typical female ones, even though I'm a woman)

[-]

Few-Scholar1873@reddit

Black opium by ysl. Can wear it anytime and any occasion

[-]

elliottj6325@reddit

I absolutely loved this! And then I became pregnant and for some odd reason absolutely went off the smell. I haven't revisited but might do that now my bump is nearly 6yrs old...

[-]

Jazzietunes@reddit

This was my favourite too until I started reacting to it on my fourth bottle 😭 could have just been a bad batch I guess but as it’s so expensive don’t want to risk it now!

MFK Amyris Femme or YSL Libre. Both very wearable throughout the seasons and I always get compliment when wearing the Amyris Femme.

[-]

becooldocrime@reddit

I recommend the Commodity discovery kit. All of their scents are fabulous imo and they feel like they all fit a theme so I wear various ones depending on event and mood. I was given one for my birthday a few years ago and it’s possibly the best gift I’ve ever had.

Yip! Chloe is timeless!

[-]

RecentTwo544@reddit

Worth noting for reasons I don't quite understand (and I'm not sure if anyone does) perfumes can smell wildly different from person to person. Some people "suit" a particular perfume while the same one might not suit someone else.

[-]

Bumblebbutt@reddit

80% of perfumes go rancid on my skin. It’s so bizarre how it’s usually brand specific too

[-]

Upbeat_Branch_4231@reddit

I heard, and it may be wrong, that its because the perfume reacts with the natural secretions from the body which of course vary a bit between everyone.

[-]

SissaSays@reddit

100%!! Which is why the original Bottega Veneta smells unbelievably good on my Mum… & like a rancid, summer day bin on me 😖 (perhaps with exception of Molecule 01 which has become so popular as appears to smell good on everyone!)

[-]

cloudydaydreamsss@reddit
