karen sharpe Posted November 21, 2006 #52 Share Posted November 21, 2006 My favourite is Marc Jacobs a crisp clean fragrance.Not sweet or flowery. I like to buy a different perfume from each of my travels and when I wear each one it vividly brings back the memory of that distant place.

Anatresia Posted November 21, 2006 #55 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I like Lucky Number 6 and Lucky You. I'm not a big fan of perfume, otherwise, but those scents aren't as in-your-face as some scents are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyitsmejudy Posted November 21, 2006 Author #56 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Wow ladies, I knew this would be fun but I didn't expect such an assortment of fragrance! I like the idea of 1) changing with the season and especially 2) the poster who buys scents on vacation and uses them to remind her of her travels! There are several here I've never heard of and want to check out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MGC Posted November 21, 2006 #59 Share Posted November 21, 2006 On one of my first cruises, I bought something at one of the perfume stores in Charlotte Amalie - not even sure what the fragrance was now... They gave me a sample of Angel with the purchase. I loved it... problem was, it was several years before I ever found it again near where I lived, and then it was in a city I was visiting for business. My sample had to last a long time. The next time I was in Charlotte Amalie, I bought some. Since then, it has arrived in my hometown, and I wear it almost exclusively. It's funny, though, everyone talks about how 'sweet' it smells -- there must be a top note in it that I can't smell at all, because it doesn't strike me as sweet. The other fragrances I wear: In Grand Case, St. Martin, I found a bottle of a Vanilla-Sandalwood fragrance, I think it's locally produced (on one of the other French West Indies islands), and a small amount goes a long way. And I'm out of it now. Generally, I only wore it on weekends since it seemed to me to be a more casual fragrance. Time to go back to St. Martin :D (Yeah! on my December cruise I'll be there!) In a hotel in Madrid, the 'house' toiletries included a bottle of toilet water-strength fragrance. It's marked 'Colonia' - I don't know if that is the fragrance name or a brand name or what. Being a toilet water strength, it doesn't last all that long, but it has a light scent that just reminds me of Spain. And, I'm also almost out of that too. Unfortunately, no more trips to Madrid in my foreseeable future...:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lynne Myrna Posted November 21, 2006 #60 Share Posted November 21, 2006 For daytime I wear Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana For evening....Chanel's Mademoiselle...which is the most delicious fragrance, yes it is expensive, but worth it, it lasts all night long.

Rare patrice1 Posted November 22, 2006 #63 Share Posted November 22, 2006 This is a great thread! It brings back memories of when I was a cosmetics dept. manager.:) Back in the day,:o I wore Georgio exclusively. Now I have 2 wonderful parrots with tiny, little lungs that can't handle the essential oils in the perfumes. No worry, I'd rather have them near my neck anyway. :D But thanks for the memories...

JudyKa Posted November 22, 2006 #64 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I wish they would come back out with just the plain original Victoria Secret. I wore that for a couple of years and got many many complements on it.......of course, they had to go and discontinue it....sigh! I kind of like the fresh green grassy smell and a touch of patchouli to that. It was something totally different than what I usually pick out; but loved the way it smelled on me. There are colognes that don't agree with me at all and at the same time smell wonderful on my daughter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shungirl Posted November 22, 2006 #66 Share Posted November 22, 2006 My favorite is Escada Rockin' Rio. I LOVE it... I like their new one too, I think is is Pacific Paradise or something, but to me it is too sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesky8130 Posted November 25, 2006 #67 Share Posted November 25, 2006 My favorite is Clinque Simply - especially in summer. I also love Dark Vanilla (or anything vanilla really). I used to wear Obesession but it reminded me of my ex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nugsmom Posted November 26, 2006 #68 Share Posted November 26, 2006 When my son was 17 (6 yrs ago) he went with his class to Europe. I told him to bring me back some perfume from Paris, very leary of what I would get. He brought back Sublime by Jean P). I love it! I have used that bottle up, got one on line, and had a friend who went to Europe bring me back more. I always get compliments and no one else uses it, which I like.

Jane110 Posted November 26, 2006 #69 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I always get compliments and no one else uses it, which I like. That's the reason I never tell people what perfume I wear. I don't want anyone else using it! Whenever I'm asked, I tell people I don't share that info, if they press on, I tell them the first name that comes to mind that isn't one that I wear. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavecruiser Posted November 26, 2006 #70 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I have so many perfumes I need to try out now! My biggest problem is finding something that will last on me. Most of them wear off in a few hours. Just wondering if anyone has a favorite perfume that actually stays on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bububr Posted November 26, 2006 #71 Share Posted November 26, 2006 There are three I actually like and wear. The cheapest is 'Arbor' from the Body shop. An every day cologne with a cedar/woodsy smell. The next is 'BelAmi' by Hermes which is a nice spicy scent for more formal evenings and can be found at most upscale stores. The last is my favorite and the most difficult to find. Last year I had to order it from Neimans, but this year they no longer carry it.....'Eau de Lavender' by Annick Goutal....Most people think of lavender as a little old ladys perfume, or to be really sweet and stinky...this is a guys lavender all the way...Its made from wild lavender and isn't sweet or flowery at all. It has a really great scent......however I'm on my last few sprays and untill I can find someone that now carries it again..I will use it sparingly Dave:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laing1 Posted November 26, 2006 #72 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Well I haven't seen my perfume..Paloma Picassa...it stays with you ..gentle wonderful scent..IF you can get it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happysinglemom Posted November 26, 2006 #73 Share Posted November 26, 2006 I rarely wear a fragrance anymore. It is frowned upon at the office as people are sensitive and allergic, and nothing is worse that walking behind someone that smells up the enitre hallway. Ugh. I don't care how nice the smell, I don't like being "caught" in an overwhelming cloud of scent. That said, I do like Boucheron. And of course Chanel#5 is always nice. However my bottle of Boucheron has been sitting there for 3 years now, and still not empty...and I know that fragrances "expire", so it just does not make sense for me to spend the money.

Most of them wear off in a few hours. Just wondering if anyone has a favorite perfume that actually stays on? Personal body chemistry is the reason and unfortunately, what lasts for hours on one person may only last for minutes on another. So recommendations for perfumes with lasting power are generally useless. The only way to find one for you is to go to stores and try them on and see which ones work for you.

Have you tried their Eau D'Hadrien for men? That's a nice scent too. I always visit the Annick Goutal store when I go to Paris and end up spending too much there. I like their scents.
