What is your favorite pefume? Mine is eternity, sand and sable and windsong.

Mine is Escape by Calvin Klein and Secret Crush by Victoria Secret.. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Definately Angel Mist and Peonies from Heaven.........From The House Of Franda

We have found that "Eternity" and "White Shoulders" are amongst the most popular with our business. There are many close seconds though.

My current favorite is Clinique's Happy Heart.
I must say that I am REALLLLLYYY happy that women have stopped bathing in the scent they wear. A woman almost killed me(Literally) when I was trapped in an elevator with her and Cinnabar. My nose and eyes swelled shut...

Liz Claiborne is out with a new perfume called Curve Crush.


I bought it a few weeks ago and absolutely love it! I even wrote a review for Amazon for this perfume. <img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" /> I bought my bottle at BonTon, but I wish I had knew it was available via Amazon...because Amazon has it $9 cheaper!

Roni, is Happy Heart a new scent? I have Clinique's Happy, but am not familiar with Happy Heart.

Cinnabar is certainly a strong scent, but Obsession and cheapo perfumes have got to be the worse when women bathe in them. <img src="/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

I think Happy Heart was introduced last Xmas. I asked for it from santa and got a huge bottle of Happy instead; as santa has ADD! I just use them together. Happy Heart is a much lighter and somewhat sweeter scent.

Frankly, I am just allergic to something in the Cinnabar...Canoe, Tabu,. Chanel #5...all will affect me the same way. I have to try stuff on before I buy it. I will know within moments of smelling it as my nose slams shut and my eyes do too. It is not pretty. The last three fragrances all come from the same house(manufacturer?)

Hi, everybody

As for me, I have lots of favorites but for now the most favorite are

Dior's J'Adore
Orlane's Fleurs d'Orlane
Betty Barclay's Woman no.3
Givenchy's Very Irresistable

I also like all Oriflame's fragrances. They are nice and you feel like a rose when you're wearing them. Has anyone of you tried any of Oriflame's fragrances? I can attach photos of them if you're interested

See you all later

My signature is just plain curve in the blue bottle. Tho I do have a particular liking for georgio armani's sensi

I like one from Burberry...it's in a pink bottle...I forget what it's called but something with the word "tender"...does anyone else know which one I mean?? <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

And I agree about Happy from Clinique...that's a good one. I like really light fresh scents...not too floral or strong. Any good suggestions?

Hi, stephanie

yeah, i know which one you're talking about. you mean "Tender Touch" from Burberry. It's a cute bottle and the perfume is so soft.

well, as for the light fresh scents, why don't you try J'adore eau de toilette? or Betty Barclay's Woman no. 3. They are not too floral or strong at all. Like you, i like soft fragrances and I can't stand strong perfumes because my nose is allergic. There is also Amor Amor from Cacharel. Emmmm....I dunno if i remember anything else now, but try to look for Oriflame fragrances wherever you are because most of them are light and fresh as you requested. one of them is similar to the scent of wet grass, i adore it. it's called "Elvie".

I hope I have helped you with my modest information

See you all soon

Clinique's Happy is also my favourite. Although I can't stand the happy scented hand cream. Too strong.

I have found a great range of perfumes called Penhaligions. They are a company founded in the United Kingdom and have been going since 1870. My favourite frangrance is Artemisia. It has Jasmine, vanilla, Violet and nectarines with sandlewood, musk and amber. A very feminine perfume. I buy mine from richgiftsdirect.co.uk from their little shop. Great company great people. Worth a visit

My favorite perfume is Beach passion by Sensual. Anyone know where I can find more of it?

Mine is Safari by Ralph Lauren. Unfortunately, it's not made anymore. I am at a loss as to what to try next.

Dior's J'Adore and Flower by Kenzo - the one with the red poppy on the box.

Hellie

English Garden & Walking

I know its very 'old hat', but I've always loved Charlie by Revlon. I only wear it ocassionaly as I have 5 different ones that I rotate. It always draws comments from other women saying how beautiful it is.

My fave is Bob Mackie. It came in bottles with bubbles on them, and was not out for very long. He then had a new fragrance with a similar name but not the fragrance. I finally discovered Spellbound by Estee Lauder, and I love that. I cannot tolerate most perfumes, but essential oils do not seem to bother me. When I am in hippie mode I put on a bit of patchouli. Couldn't stand it in high school but I like it now. Sparingly. <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />

I love Angel by Thierry Mugler, and Wish by Chopard. Wish actually blends the best with me, I always receive compliments on it. It's very woodsy and spicy, with notes of patchouli, incense, sandalwood and amber. It also has hints of chocolate that I've noticed. I just love it!

Another good one is Addict by Dior, but I rarely wear it anymore.

I recently bought Be Delicious by DKNY and I like it, but I absolutely love Breathless by Victoria's Secret.

I love L'eau Par by Kenzo. It's for men, but works well as a unisex fragrance...much like ckONE.

My favorite is Victoria's Secret's Halo (Part of their Angel) line. I like the lighter smelling perfumes.

What I would REALLY like to find is something that TRULY smells like honeysuckle. There are a lot of perfumes that advertise it, but I've got the real thing growing in my back yard - and nothing comes close!

Chanel #19 ~ smells of dirt and meadows with just a hint of sweetness ~ luverly!

Justine

I'm old fashioned. Beautiful has been my favourite since it first came out.

Here's a review of clinique happy perfume

and an article on the uses of perfume.

My favorites are:

Givenchy's Hot Couture
Chanel's Chance
Bulgari
Moonlight Path (Bath & Body Works)

I love all fragrances, but these are the tops for me.

I have very, very high acidic content in my skin... I can't wear base metal or electroplated jewelry, and most perfumes turn a funny scent after its applied to my skin.

There are only a couple that I can wear at all, even though on me they smell completely different than they do on anyone else. I also have problems choosing scents among the very, very few I can wear because I'm so picky. *grins* I don't like most floral scents, with a couple of exceptions. I don't like heavy or fruity scents. I tend to prefer earthy scents, musks, spicy scents, that sort of thing. These are the few that I've found that I like, and that when I wear I always get compliments on:

Coty Wild Musk is an old favorite, although I don't wear it too often anymore.

Opium, which I only kind of like so I don't wear it, is one.

The other two are by the same company, Guerlain, Paris...

One is Shalimar, which I stopped wearing because my hubby said he'd be reminded of his grandmother (she wore it exclusively). *grins* I have a small bottle still, and I put it on one day and he asked me what I had on because he liked it... I just smiled and told him Shalimar. That's when he realized that I'm not kidding... Nothing smells the same on me as it does on anyone else.

But by that time I'd discovered Samsara, also by Guerlain. Its got a light but spicy scent... I'm with Moe... I don't like the hand cream or the body wash, its too heavy. But Samsara has, for the most part, become my signature scent. The Guerlain saleslady loves to see me coming, she's fascinated by how different her company's scents smell on me (I can wear them all, although I don't like them all).

When I don't wear commercial perfumes, I tend to choose essential oils that I like and blend scents myself. MusicalMom, maybe you should try to find a honeysuckle essential oil... A few drops in an alcohol/distilled water mix should give you a nice light scent that smells like real honeysuckle. Put it in an atomizer or a small misting spray bottle, and voila! I make a patchouli and pine mix for my hubby, and I have a sandalwood and jasmine blend that I like a lot for myself.

Thanks! Where do you find essential oils?

I wear Fendi , although it's harder to find. I can wear it to work (dental office) and it is understated and soft. The other one I like but don't have right now is Allure by Chanel. It's beautifully soft, lots of compliments with that one.

If you have a Whole Foods, they have some in the beauty/health section.

Most "New Age" shops have them... Places that sell incense and stuff like that usually have oils.

Two little things... True essential oils can't be worn directly on the skin... It either has to be diluted in a carrier oil (almond, grapeseed, mineral or some other light oil) or in an alcohol base. Which brings me to my second thing... Essential oils and perfume oils are not the same thing. Perfume oils are usually essential oils diluted in a carrier oil, but sometimes they are just really inferior product being passed off as essential oil.

That said, most of the stuff you find is pretty much what it says it is, though. One of the things I like best is that, for the most part, if an essential oil says "jasmine," it smells like jasmine... and they all mostly smell very similarly... Not a lot of disparity among the different companies. There's some, of course, but jasmine smells like jasmine no matter who makes the oil.

I used to use an online source, so if you are not able to find anything locally, let me know, I'll see if I can find the sites I used to use.

emporio armani and Lauren bu R.L.
Also Hanae Mori for men

Emporio Armani and Lauren
Also Hanae Mori for men

Chanel #19, but it makes me sneeze and the lotion causes me to break out in hives.

My own concoction, which is a knock-off of Chanel #19, doesn't quite smell the same, but has a lot of the same qualities. It is a blend of sandalwood, vetyver, oakmoss, jasmine grandiflorum, rose absolute, ylang-ylang, neroli, galbanum and bergamot. These are all the 'real deal' here, no fragrance oils, just 100% essential oils, concretes, attars, absolutes and infusions. It doesn't have the same staying power as synthetic perfumes, but it is gorgeous just the same.

Another is a custom perfume designed by Eleuria. There's a form on their website that asks questions to determine your scent preferences. Then at the end of the questionnaire, there's a blend recipe that they will make for you. If you're handy with essential oils and other natural aromatic materials, you can make it yourself. This blend consists of jasmine essence (styrax co-distilled with jasmine flowers), myrrh, rose otto, frankincense, bergamot, galbanum, tagettes, clove, petitgrain & oakmoss. Smells heavenly!

P

patchouli or Sunflower

Oh yeaaaa...Perfume


SHANIA.... I recently saw that and sprayed some on.... Really like it.

BANDERAS .... Antonio Banderas has a Perfume for Women out.... I liked that.

HAPPY..... I like that for Summer.

also love the smell of patchouli sky

Ralph Lauren is my most favorite!

I have two 'signature' scents, one for day-wear, one for evening.

I fell in love with Yves St. Laurant's Opium, from my first whiff of its exotic spiciness. With notes of tangerine, cloves, coriander, carnation, lily of the valley, plum, rose, myrrh, castoreum, cedarwood, sandalwood, opoponax, and pepper, its fragrance is warm, Oriental, sensual, sedutive. I'm convinced it's the sandalwood that makes it so incredible. Before its arrival on the fragrance scene, I had gone through a number of trials of colognes and perfumes, never finding one I really liked. Most women's scents are just too flowery-sweet, for me. Almost nauseatingly so. I use the Opium for evening wear, and just a touch is enough. When it dries on the skin, it has a very subtle, warm, more spicy than sweet, scent. My husband considers it one of the sexiest scents ever. I believe it was chosen by Allure magazine at one time, as one of the sexiest perfumes of all time.

I used to use a touch of Estee Lauder's Cinnabar, for my daytime scent, simply because it's lighter spiciness was Opium-like. I have lately begun wearing just a light spray of Moonlight Path, from Bath and Body, during the day. I like this scent very much. Just a hint of hyacinth, and lavendar, not too sweet. Perfect for summer wear, as well.

I love the smell of freshly fried chicken on a woman. Yummy.

Balahe by Leonard

My husband picked up a bottle when he was in Paris last year. He's fussy about perfumes (allergies) so I make him buy them! He'd rather I wear Patchouli, but I can't stand it on myself. (He says Patchouli reminds him of his old hippie days.)

I also love Chanel #5 and Chance, but both bother his allergies <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Ha ha, my boyfriend likes patchouli but I am too much of a yuppie puppie to pull that off. He is definitely born to let when it comes to the 60s.

Red Door by Elizabeth Arden is my fave! <img src="/images/graemlins/heart.gif" alt="" />

I've been addicted by Happy by Clinique for years, but I've recently aslo started using the Cynthia Rowley scent to mix things up a bit. It smells like honeysuckle and white tea, and it's really very sexy.

I'm a Gemini, so it depends on my mood..LOL

Hanae Mori
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
Victoria's Secret Mood - Sweet Craving
Attar - Robert Isabel ...discontinued...waaaa!
Modern - Banana Republic

Red Door by Elizabeth Arden. Yep that's me <img src="/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Can smell it every time I walk in my ensuite.

Dioressence by Christine Dior

Years ago I favored Miss Dior by Christine Dior

I don't know why Clinique's Happy smells like throw up on me, but smells lovely in its bottle. Maybe I am citrus intolorant! [color:"brown"] [/color]

Estee Lauders Pleasures, Organza, Organza Indecense, Irresistably Givenchy all by Givenchy, and the classic White Shoulders.. Avon scents give me migraines, Givenchy makes me feel oo lala!!! <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />

i love lavin et clat
and romance

I'm also on the clinique happy bandwagon (aww i guess it's not my own unique scent, tee hee!)...i like happy heart but there's something really special about the citrus-y nature of the oldschool happy. ahhh...

<img src="/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />my favourite perfume are gucci and paris hilton these are very nice and found at easily at http://www.1stperfume.com.

Was it the 80s when women were bathing in Giorgio? Or was it the early 90s? I didn't have to buy my own, I worked in an office where that was the perfume of choice...whether you liked it or not you went home smelling like it! HA I did like it, so I didn't mind.

My favorites over the years:
Chanel #5
Cinnabar (very lightly in winter)
Anything Alfred Sung

My current scent favorites are:

Sublime by Jean Patou (everyday)

Vanilla Fantasy (weekends)

Jaipur Safir by Boucheron (occasionally)

and in winter,

Aromatics Elixir by Clinique

FLIRT by penshoppe

Journey by Marykay

L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake is my scent of right now. It has been for a year or two now.

Oh I couldn't say a favorite

Yves Saint Laurent - Paris
Lauren by Ralph Lauren
Perry Ellis 360
And Anyone near a "Body Shop" they have a perfume oil, which is absolutely divine, called "satsuma"

Cherry vanilla, they discontinued it!

My very fav is Cool Water for Women! It's a nice light scent! I agree w/ Stephanie too, Happy is an awesome scent! It seems to be not as heavy either.

One of my favorites is the Fresh Ginger Lime that used to be sold by Bath & Body. Fortunately a local shop can recreate it for me.

hi everybody i am new my favorite perfumes are samsara by guerlain , amarige by givenchy, and all of the estee lauder perfumes i have toooo many perfumes i like it,s ridiculous but i wondered whilst i am here does any body know were i can get my hands on a bottle of innoxa gingham perfume spray?

I am in love with the Juicy Couture perfume. It is a blend of watermelon, mandarin, pink passion fruit, marigold, green apple, water hyacinth, crushed leaves, tuberose absolute, wild rose, princess lily, caramel cr�me brul�e, vanilla, precious woods and patchouli. It is a sweet perfume but is light at the same time. Perfect for the warm weather =)

Hands down Michael by Michael Kors. This is the only perfume that I wear and I love it because my favorite scent is gardenia and this has tons of gardenia in it.

My favorite is Inspiration.

What about men's colognes? All those captivating smells! Burberry and Drakkar Noir?

I was shopping at Lord and Taylor the other day, and tried Stella McCartney's new perfume- I've forgotten what it's called, but it smells SO good! After wearing it around for a day, I've decided to go back and buy it.

i favorite perfume is the james bond perfume . so like this brand is best choice for men fragrance.

Aumor by Kenzo is my FAVORITE smell!!! I was out somewhere ans someone said, "you smell expensive"

I use an Amber essential oil exclusively as a perfume scent...I have never found anything I liked on me although I have spent hours and hours trying! And I must say that the fellows I've dated have been intrigued by it and surprised when I tell them what it is...

my favorite is Ambush

My favorites:

- Rush by Gucci
- Quel que Fleurs (don't know the maker)
- Dream Angels - Heavenly by Victoria's Secret
- St. John

Pure Grace and Amazing Grace by Philosophy are my favorites

I also like Cool Water and Blv by Bvlgari

I have asthma so sometimes perfume bothers me.

However I have worn Ralph Lauren for women for more then 20 years. I also used to wear one by Yves Saint Laurent, the bottle was pink and black, it smelled like roses, I think it was just called YSL.

My Dad used to have a thing for perfume. When we would take him shopping, he would get lost in the perfume department and come out smelling like a French Whore. He loved to buy the women in his life perfume, unfortunately he also had to try them on so it was a LONG ride home from the mall afterward.

He was the one who got me the YSL that smelled like Roses. He loved to grow roses so I guess thats why he loved that perfume.

I have two,actually.
Chanel No.5 and Coach

I do not care for strong scents or even wearing perfume. I prefer to use shower gel or body lotion. They are much more subtle.

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is my favorite.

I love Calvin Klein Euphoria. But lately my pure essentials laundry detergent has been my perfume. It smells really good so I've been able to save my Calvin.

I love Euphoria too. Another fave is Touch of Pink by Lacoste.

I love my Light Blue Perfume by Dolce and Gabbana. It's light and very refreshing. My boyfirend loves it!

Tonet

I recently fell in love with Stella by Stella McCartney....it lasts a really long time, also, which is unfortunately pretty rare for me.

I love LaVanilla, Pure Vanilla. It's made by a company called Vanilla Laboratories. It's smells just like vanilla pods, but with something else. There is suppose to be a hint of freshia and one or two other parts to the fragrance. It's suppose to be entirely natural, but it lasts all day. You can only get it from Sephora though. I just love it.

Sorry it's made by LaVanilla Laboratories not Vanilla Laboratories.

I like poison, but most of my absolute favorites are the ones the body sprays that come around each season. Like this winter, it is peppermint, gingerbread, and merry vanilla.

They smell so good. Then in the springtime I roll back around to raspberry, apple, cotton candy etc.

Men go crazy over this stuff because it makes you smell so edible. lol

White Shoulders....hands down...

Favorite perfumes:
From Mary Kay - Affection
From AVON - Imari
Gucci Rush
Casimir by Chapparal

Most perfumes do not smell right on me...so when I find a scent that I like, I tend to stick with them.

Always hunting.....

For the last year I've tried a number of different ones but they really didn't win my heart. I'm a Clinique Happy girl through and through.

Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker is my favorite right now.

I am allergic to strong perfumes. There is one in particular, I think it is White Diamonds or Poison, that gives me watery eyes, burning sinuses, nose bleeds and asthma. I just use herbs for fragrances or citrus peels (rub them on my arms and neck) or the best I ever bought was a little piece of amber. I have had this amber for years and it never loses its fragrance. I just rub it a little on my wrists.

I commented about... oh, more a year and a half ago (!) -- that my favorite was Safari.

I think I've changed my mind.

I'm wearing Eternity Moment right now and I love it. It's a lot softer than Safari, with more of a floral/feminine scent.

I like a few. Issy Myaki's Night Fragrance and Christian Dior's Gardinia also Elizabeth Taylors Gardinia are beautiful whiffS! LOL
Also Paul Smiths Rose is lovely
Sorry I have five fav colours too, I am greedy!

Lanvin used to make a perfume called Pretext...I would give anything to smell that again it was pure 'Paris' and there has been nothing like it since.

Anis Anis by Cacherel

One of my new favorites is Roma by Laura Biagiotti. It's hard to find here in the US, but with the Internet it is available.

I love YSL!
I own cinema and babydoll but my mum and sisters own different ones and they all smell so beautiful.

Also a friend wears Gucci but I am not sure which one, and I love when she visits she smells so nice? thats the only perfume where it has really had an effect on me. I will find out which one it was

I like Paloma Picasso (spg), but haven't had it in years, so I don't know if it is still made.

I also like Halston.

i think this would be the best place to ask.
im looking for a new perfume. something fresh & summery.

anyone with any suggestions? ive just been hanging around perfume counters and starting to think im not going to find one

Fresh and Summer-y...........I am going to run through a few that takes on all budgets. I also do not know your age, so forgive me if I go too old or too young.

My friend smells GREAT in "Goddess" by Avon

Have you tried Estee Lauders "Beyond Paradise Blue"?

How about the old standby - "Angel"?

"Tresor" by Lancome

"Light Blue" by Dolce and Gabbana

Those might start you off.

I like Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden and their Green Tea is nice too.

thanks robin. ive taken those down and will take a look.

maybe if i let you know im 19 it might help?

I would also like to recommend Belara by Mary Kay....possibly Journey, too.

AVON has a lot of perfumes with many layering possibilities. I only mentioned one with them.

My favorite now for many years is Dioressence by Christian Dior. When i was young I liked the fragrance of Cashmere Bouquet powder. Does anyone know what brand that is?

Susan,
Colgate-Palmolive makes the soap and you can find the talc here:

Hey, LadyLvsNyt, thanks so much for the link to Cashmere Bouquet powder!

The word perfume used today derives from the Latin per fumum, meaning &quot;through smoke.&quot;

i think it's perfume for male...

i like lady blue which is awsome.

dolce and gabana is also good brand of perfumes.

I like fragrance of RASASI one's.

I like eternity. These have one of the best fragrances i have come across.

Secret Crush by Victoria Secret

Dioressence by Christian Dior

Mexx ;)

Here are some of my favorites: Elizabeth Arden Green Elizabeth Arden 5Th Avenue Ck Eternity Women Versace Bright Crystal Women
