Caleche by Hermes. A beautiful, elegant perfume. My Mother once knew I was in Marks sand Spencer food department one day before she even saw me. She was following the fragrance around until she found me. I loved Canoe, from the hippy days of Patchouli etc. Was it by Dana? This is a fab subject. I could talk forever about the perfumes I've loved over the years.    :)

Estee by Estee Lauder my mummy wore it all the time and the day before her funeral (a long time ago now)I was shopping for something to wear and that smell just seemed to be following me everywhere, I remember thinking it was a bit spooky but also very comforting  :)

Earliest are - Avon Somewhere and Topaz, Noa Noa, Je Reviens ( morning sickness!), Youth Dew, Arpege, Rive Gauche, now I like Issey  Miyake. Never could stand Opium or Poison, just way too strong.

This is going to be my kind of staying in Saturday evening. The link is amazing Bluwise, thank you. I'm going to be there ages now. Canoe was from Dana I see but I didn't think there were others by that manufacturer/designer, whatever. I'm going back to the link and I could be gone some time!  Who said that?

I forgot to say about now. Now I mostly wear Chanel No5, Gucci Rush (the original),  Thierry Mugler Angel or Alien. They languish in my fridge with my nail polishes because they stay perfect for so much longer.

My favourite was KL by Karl Lagerfeld.  Didn't like the man but liked his perfume.

Elie Saab my current fave (it's a love or loathe one, no in-betweens) and my all time favourite is Bulgari (BLV - dark blue bottle).
Have to admit to wearing Poison all those years ago and only now friends tell me they hated it!
