Tova since the beginning, and please do not tell me it's not the same, don't care, still love the scent and I do get compliments.


When we moved I found 3 bottles of Tova from 20 years ago. I spray it on my ankles ( not kidding!) and it lasts until I dress for bed.

 

I thnk each of the bottles is one of the original Tova scents, and I agree with you @granny me, my old Tova is wonderful, my Tova solid perfume is terrific, and I love the scents I've bought most recently.

Re: What's your favorite perfume?

For years I have worn pure grace and never had a desire to change it.  That was the first one I ever stuck to since I change my moods and like different things at different times. It is just hard to tire of a clean smell.   I ordered Nest midnight fleur on the Q  as a tsv and loved it.  I don't go overboard with it as I think it might be strong.  You never know what others smell.  I would love to try their citrine.  If I am ever close to a Sephora I will try it.

L'Instant by Guerlain. Actually, any perfume by Guerlain is wonderful.

 I quit smoking 6 years ago, April 14, 2010.  👏  After stinking worse than a filthy ashtray for 30+ years I've become a perfume junkie!  I started at Nordstrom, bought my first bottle and ended up returning it a week later.  I then learned when paying well over $100 for a bottle of fragrance to get samples first!  After narrowing down my choices from the numerous samples (some staff were more generous than others) I started buying a bottle whenever I could, using the money I saved from not buying cigarettes.  Finally found my so called signature perfume "Candy by Prada".  I love it and wear it constantly. With "Candy by Prada" I literally get compliments every day from men and women, I'm always asked "what is that fragrance/perfume?" I've even had people go so far as to write down on paper no less and put in their phones the name, I'm not kidding!  I'm really bad at describing scents so I won't even go there but can say it's different.  I can't believe after spending well over $100 at Nordstrom I found it on Amazon for approx $65 for regular size bottle 2.7 ounces. I suggest going to Nordstrom ( Nordstrom Rack does NOT give samples!) or any upscale store that gives samples and try it or any other pricey scents if you'd rather not spend that much on something unknown. Other good things about "Candy by Prada" is it lasts, you can wear it anywhere for any occasion, day or night.  

 

  So ladies what is your favorite perfume?  Tell us about it.  Do you have a so called signature perfume?  

 

 What's the consensus on NEST?  Best NEST fragrance? 

  

Disclaimer:

I am NOT affiliated with Prada in anyway, nor do I sell fragrances or have anything to do with perfume sales, I have NO stock in any perfume, nor will I benefit from any use/purchase of any kind of perfume!!  I simply like that particular perfume.  I'm not in business in any way, I'm a respiratory therapist, I'm new to forum and don't even know if I needed to write a disclaimer but wanted to ward off any potential issues.....

Also I'm not sure of the correct verbiage, "wear" perfume  vs. "use" perfume so please be kind.  😀

 

 

WOW, 30 years!  Congratulations on the quit smoking!  You deserve to buy yourself any fragrance after that achievement.

 

It's Amazing Grace for me.  After wearing it for years, I still think it smells so good.

 

Congrats again,

asltw

Re: What's your favorite perfume?

Congratulations on giving up the cigarettes.  It's hard I know, I did it years ago. 

 

My favorite perfume is Insolence by Guerlain. I have worn it exclusively for years. I love it and get compliments from both men and women. 

 

i always check Amazon for their pricing before I order anything online.

Definitely JO MALONE BASIL AND NEROLI. It's a fairly new one. First smelled it in a magazine fold out...gave it "is hubby allergic to it" test & then ran to NORDSTROM for my first bottles...small one for travel & larger for every day. It's light, fresh & not heavy. Neroli is the flower from an orange tree. Mix that w/ the spicy fragrance of basil & YUM!!

Re: What's your favorite perfume?

Another Fracas lover.  I'm in the process of ordering a few samples plus another I haven't tried.  When I mention Fracas to people they look at me like I am speaking a foreign language.

Please tell me about Roses Et Raines by Occotine, I love anything with a rose scent.
