I like several chanel fragrances, Allure, No 5, and coco mademoiselle all last good.  I don't wear it often so I have several I have had for years.


I also agree Chanel Coco Mademoiselle

Re: Unscientific Perfume Poll

Light Blue by Dolce and Gabanna is the only fragrance I can wear without getting a migraine. I love it just as much today as I did when I first sprayed a test bottle over 20 years ago in Macy's. I've been wearing it for over 20 years and still get compliments on it.


I used to think it wore off on me during the day, but other people could still smell it, so perhaps I just had gotten used to it? 

I do notice that it lasts longer and stronger when I spray it on moisturized skin.

But that goes for all fragrances though. They evaporate and fade on dry skin.

My husband doesn't do well with most perfumes so I use body lotion from the Body shop in White Musk and use the matching perfume when I feel like it.

 

I always get compliments and I smell good most of the time. Hubby agrees.

I loved Chanel #5 in high school but it was probably too old for me. 

I have several now that I wear but I never get a compliment. I keep hoping for just one! womantongue:

Re: Unscientific Perfume Poll

I don't like long lasting fragrances, I like summery scents. I like Solinotes The Blanc eau de parfum which is really like an eau de toilette as it's a light scent and not long lasting. It is similar to Elizabeth Arden Green Tea scent.

 

Overrated are Jo Malone scents. I did not like any of them that I smelled at Sephora.

 

I read that Ulta is going to bring in Tocca fragrances in store next spring. I like Tocca Stella, a mandarin orange scent and Sephora discontinued carrying this line more than a year ago.

I can't get Tom Ford perfumes off...even with Ajax and a Clorox rinse.   I wear it  in the arch of one foot only, so it's just a faint whiff (!!!)

Prada Candy is my favorite, but to answer your question....I've always found Chanel fragrances (all of them) to last the longest.

@fairydogmother  My Jo Malone (Basil Neroli is the only one I now have) and Chanel #5 seem to last the longest, but are sometimes too strong. I won't wear them to plays, concerts or restaurants...probably annoying to others.

 

I have lighter fragrances for every day that do seem to stay: Trish McEvoy's Sexy 9 and Chanel Chance.

Re: Unscientific Perfume Poll

I forgot to add to my post that I wear fragrance for myself and DH. Anyone else who gets close enough to smell me is in my personal space and way too near me.
