Chanel Allure for me too mostly. I love Dior Addict too tho' , hopefully I'll get some for Christmas.

Obsession is one I have worn on and off since the 80's love that too.

What's allure like in the smell stakes? Is it floral or what? Seriously. My sense of smell isn't that great. It just smells warm and of good times to me.

I tried on Gaultier 2 recently and decided I dislike it along with all vanilla based scents. I have also gone off my initial crush on Angel or Demon for some reason and now hate it with a vengeance. But I have discovered the new Paco Rabanne Black XS, I know it is for men but think it would also suit a woman.

La Prairie - Silver Rain or Midnight Rain

Doesn't get any better than that.

There's something by Clinique that I like. Opium is alright.

I used to buy this perfume for my wife: it had a french name. Then they stopped selling it here, and I had to go to Seattle to get it. Then they stopped importing it altogether. Too bad, it was nice.

It might have been Folies Bergere.

i have an appalling sense of smell. it just doesn't exist at all

can anyone recommend a good allrounder? seems like chanel is a popular choice here but what does madamoiselle actually smell OF? I've stuck it under my nose but couldn't recognise anything

I got some DKNY Be Delicious (Red) for Christmas.

Nice bottle and nice smell but it disappears really quickly - the scent that is. Rubbish!

I only like perfume when it's so subtle that you can only smell when you give someone a peck on the cheek or get close up in some other way

*yum*

I'm a bit late, sorry, here's what the Chanel website says about Allure:

No more top, middle and base notes. ALLURE dispenses with these traditional notions to embrace a multi-faceted approach. There are six of these facets to be exact, which overlap and harmonise with each other, no single facet becoming dominant over the others. Jacques Polge uses his great skill as a composer to maintain this balance which allows everyone to find their own individuality and allure. Created in 1996, this fifth fragrance for women ushers in the 21st century and establishes the importance of the individual.

Calabrian citron gives a Fresh facet, while Sicilian Mandarin adds a sparkling, fruity and gourmand note to the second facet. The next, the Timeless Floral facet, is expressed by Jasmine, a signature note in all CHANEL fragrances. Then there is the Imaginary Floral facet, combining magnolia, honeysuckle and water lily, and finally the Woody facet, celebrating the delicate and restrained sensuality of vanilla from Réunion. Each woman can interpret these facets in a different way. Each woman can express her own individual allure.

Floral, fresh, oriental.

The six facets
1 / Fresh : Citron note.
2 / Fruity : Sicilian Mandarin.
3 / Timeless Floral : May Rose, Oriental Jasmine.
4 / Imaginary Floral : Magnolia accord, Honeysuckle accord, Water lily accord.
5 / Woody : Haitian Vetiver.
6 / Oriental : Vanilla from Réunion.

In a nutshell...it's quite soft and sweet, I don't smell anything fruity in it myself.

At school I poisoned the class with Body Shops 'dewberry'.

For me it was the "Vanilla" scent.

Every week my orchestra leader would say loudly "who smells of Play-Doh? Oh yes, it's pootle"
