I also like Vanderbilt, but Avon Timeless (I received one) was "traumatizing" 😊 I couldn't believe this was a perfume, that's how bad I thought it was.

I wore Anais Anais back in high school. I love Elizabeth Taylor fragrances and have a few in my collection. I wore Gardenia last week when the weather was quite warm and the fragrance is sweet without being cloying and yet very gardenia without being too heavy. It comes in a very beautiful bottle as well.

Hi Luke - I own a bunch of the afffordables you've talked about here and totally enjoy them all! I know Cabochard Gres is a challenge for many but I love it - the edp and the edt. Our family lost a beloved aunt this past Saturday - so in her honor - and because she was such a lady - I wore Chanel's 31 Rue Cambon - the most lady like perfume I own - on Saturday. In fact, I've worn classics for her - all this week. Today - one of my favorites - Shalimar - because she wasn't just a lady - she was a ray of sunshine - with a wonderful sense of humor!
