Tiempe Passate by Antoniašs Flowers

From their website: Cedarwood, amber, bergamot, montauk rose (named for its "saltiness") and clementine (for sparkle.

This is a gorgeous, soft, feminine scent. I am surprised that nowhere in the ingredients is iris, which is the predominant note to my nose. I must be olfactorily-challenged!

The best of the AF line, a truly lovely perfume.

Donna Karan Essence: Labdanum by Donna Karan

A sensational gorgeous fragrance! Very resinous and easy to layer with others - Ambre N by Hermes for example.

Timbuktu by L'Artisan Parfumeur

That taste in the back of your throat right before the general anesthetic kicks in.

Ananas Fizz by L'Artisan Parfumeur

I love this! But I agree, it could last longer. Wonder if there is a body lotion. The two together would be fantastic!

A definite summer scent, very clean and refreshing.

Farnesiana by Caron

An olfactory delight. Very warm and comforting. My favourite Caron.

Ma Griffe by Carven

An underappreciated and often misunderstood masterpiece. The formula has been reworked multiple times over the years, ending, sadly with the lastest version a one-dimensional soapy floral.

I have paid high and low for this on eBay, the best quality coming from the source - France.

I love the razor-sharp opening of the EDT, very fresh. The parfum is quite different, equally lovely. The soap is absolutely gorgeous but almost impossible to find. I managed to get some but it was so old the scent had completely vanished, despite still being in cellophane.

I can't say I have ever come across a similar scent. If anyone has, I'd love to hear about it!

Of all the perfumes I wear, this one elicits the most compliments, mainly from men.

I remember buying a bottle for my mum in the 70s and using the whole thing myself! Thankfully, mothers tend to be very understanding!

Mitsouko by Guerlain

A rich, complex, multifaceted, gorgeous, unparalleled masterpiece. This is what perfume should be. Having every concentration, I love them all. The extrait is sheer heaven, deep, warm, and luscious.

I too bought my first bottle on eBay and all subsequent ones, also having only read about it. When it arrived, I immediately sprayed it on my wrist. It was almost as though reality shifted. This perfume takes you somewhere else.

Magic.

Undoubtedly my favourite Guerlain.
