Chloe (the original) is my favorite daily perfume. A very fresh and floral scent. I get a lot of compliments and questions as to what I am wearing when I have it on.
For a date night, going out, something more sophisticated scent, I reach for Gucci II. I have worn this on and off for over 10 years and have gone through about 4 bottles. Love it.
Honorable mentions - Jo Malone English Pear & Freesia, Stella by Stella McCartney, Nest Indigo (this is my DH's current favorite).
I discovered Lola by Marc Jacobs late in the game, and only got through 3 bottles before they discontinued it. I had no luck finding something similar until recently, when I found Capri by Vince Camuto. In cooler weather, I wear Burberry The Beat or My Burberry.
While I was looking for a replacement for Lola, I made do with an assortment of body sprays from Bath and Body Works. I like White Citrus, Honolulu Sun, Malibu Heat, Beautiful Day, Endless Weekend, and Love and Sunshine, plus Victoria's Secret Pink Sun Kissed body mist. I list all of those, because I've basically mixed them all together. I know it sounds horrible, but it works. One problem I've had when switching between perfumes and body sprays is that a couple of times when spraying perfume, I've started to spritz it all over like you do with body spray, and I have ended up with way too much on. It can be a pain to wash perfume off, because you can't really smell it on yourself after a bit.
I used to have one (it was called Design, I forget who made it). I loved that scent, but my mama did too and she basically stole it from me! I still really like it, but now it reminds me of her. Which I guess isn't all bad.
I tend to like sweet, warm fragrances. A lot of fragrances smell really awful on me but these are awesome. I really love the Maison Margiela Replica perfumes, especially Lipstick On.
I'd never heard of this before, but I just got Beach Walk and By The Fireplace today, coincidentally. Everything smelled amazing.
I LOVE Beach Walk in the bottle and on other people, it's awful on me though
I'm a perfume nut but I do go long stretches sometimes wearing a certain scent. My current obsession is Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir. I smelled it on a coworker and asked her what it was. It's the perfect mix of feminine and masculine so it's not too fruity and sweet. I looooove it.
Oscar de la Renta Violet, which actually smells like vanilla. I came across it maybe 11 years ago and liked it (I generally hate all perfumes). DH tracked it down, loved it himself and bought me 3 bottles since it was a limited edition to that year. I would wear it more but my coworker is super sensitive to scents and I've been working with him for over 9 years. Sad face.
I wear perfume every day, I love it. I have different scents for different moods and seasons.
For spring/summer, I love Escada perfumes. They change it up a little every year but I love their light, fruity scents. Also love Jo Malone Nectarine and something blossom and Unconditional Love by Philosophy.
In fall/winter, I wear Laila (the essence of Norway) or Michael Kors

Skin Musk. It's cheap - maybe $10? - but it wears really well on me.
I used to have a bunch of different ones, but when I first started dating H, Skin was the only one he would ever comment on consistently.
So I stuck with it. I get comments all the time from people telling me I smell good and wanting to know what perfume I'm wearing, so I haven't branched out.
