If anyone knows a dupe for the original Diorella from the 1980’s….they reissued it about ten years ago but its not the same….
L’eau de Chloe. It’s not easy to find where I shop usually and it’s so expensive now! I got mine years ago and don’t recall paying as much.
I also like Jo Malone English Pear and Freesia but not quite as much.

I like several of the Jo Malone scents. And I also really like Annick Goutal eau d’hadrien-I’ve been to that shop in Paris! When I was younger I wore Oscar de la Renta and Paco Rabanne. If I wear it now I like light scents and am very sparing with it.

Coco Mademoiselle and Hermès Le Jardin Sur Nil are my scents of choice.
I’m fairly sensitive to odors, scents, and smells myself, so i usually won’t wear any whe I’ll be particularly close to other people. Rose and gardenia scents, that nasty Obsession - instant headache
I am currently wearing Jo Malone’s Bluebell, and I also have Beach Blossom, I think. Other favorites, which I have been wearing on and off since I was 17 (!) are Prescriptives’ Calyx, and Calvin Klein Eternity. I also really love anything Hawaiian-smelling… when we go to Hawaii every few years I always return with some guava- or passionfruit-smelling potion.
My mom’s (RIP) favorite perfumes were, from long ago, Halston and Coriandre. Then she went through a Giorgio period in the ‘80s, followed by Lancome’s Tresor. I know that if I took a big whiff of any of these, she’d be right there

I’m more of a post shower body spray type of girl. I don’t even own an official perfume and haven’t for some time.
I have enjoyed the Fragonard products from France - shopping their in person store in Paris was a treat! They had a jasmine scent that has become difficult to get.

The smell of those soaps is a great way to relive vacation at home.

@evanescent471 , we have the same taste! I smell lovely scents on others, but few smell as good on me. Those don’t seem to get as cloying.

I’ve also been on a fragrance journey lately and my likes have veering over to the vanilla/caramel/honey scents.
Currently I am loving Cyklar’s Vanilla Vibe scent for the shower/body and Ellis Brooklyn’s Bee scent. Also Ded Cool’s Mochi Milk. When I travel someplace warm, I take Ellis Brooklyn’s Miami Nectar scent. I always get a lot of compliments on that one.
For a heavier evening perfume, I like YSL Libre.
I also love an oil. Ambre Blends is my go-to.
Due to sinus issues, I can never really tell much what a perfume smells like at the counter. My husband actually picks them out for me and he’s good at it! two of them I get tons of compliments. One is Coach Poppy which has been around awhile. Not sure if they even make it anymore, but I have half of it left and put it on thIs weekend and two people stopped me.
but the one I love because it gets all the compliments is YSL Libre. I wish I could smell it on someone else!
And I had forgotten one from the mid-90s that was my favorite: L’Eau d’Issey by Issey Miyake.

For me, in the 80s, it was Lauren.

That was also a nice one– have not smelled it in years. That would really bring back the 80s! I also remember spraying Poison on my Guess denim jacket

Jo Malone–Dark Amber and Ginger Lily and YSL–Black Opium Le Parfum.
I loved Lauren. I also loved–and still occasionally wear–Jessica McClintock Eau de Parfum. So 80’s, but so beautiful!

I love Ambre, but they all smell alike to me and I want some variety. Unfortunately, I think they’ve changed their formula. Everyone on Reddit is complaining that it’s different now.
That would be a bummer. I did resupply the last time they had a deal but I’m still working off an older vial.
They do! It’s sold out on Coach’s site, but other sites have it (looks it might be discontinued and have limited availability). I also love Coach Poppy but haven’t had it in a while. I remember smelling it for the first time and immediately purchasing. I wonder if the scent is the same?
