Favourite Scents

[Violeta]

I love Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea. It's perfect for me. I have a very hard time finding perfume that won't make me dizzy or get "stuck" in my nose. I don't know if it's just me, but I find that some perfumes smell ok for about 2 or 3 hours, then they fade off into this thick, heavy scent. It happens with alot I have tried. Wonder why?

This is my new perfume, which my husband got for my birthday. It's Onyx by Sage and I love it. The notes are apparently dark coconut, oakmoss, tobacco, and vanilla nectar. The vanilla is very subtle, though. It's a really unusual scent.

That sounds absolutely delicious! I'm going to search high and low for it.

I currently wear "In Black" by J. Del Pozo
It always gets positive comments

I just ordered some samples from The Perfumed Court - can't wait to try them out!

Caron Nuit de Noel Pure Parfum
Caron Poivre Pure Parfum
Caron Tabac Blond Pure Parfum
Bvlgari Au the Blanc

I know what the Bvlgari one is like as I tried it on before - it reminds me of being on honeymoon last year when we stayed at The Ritz in Halfmoon Bay - the toiletries in our room were all Bvlgari Au the Blanc. The scent brings back such happy memories!

My absolute favorites are Jean Paul Gaultier, Anna Sui's Flight of Fancy, and Burberry London. I love sweet, creamy, and unusual scents.
And I love Christian Dior's Poison, because it reminds me of my mum.

My favourite is Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. I also enjoy fun body sprays by Victoria Secret, especially Strawberries & Champagne and Amber Romance, and La Senza's Beauty Rush.

Thierry Mugler's Angel is lovely too, and the bottle is a plus!

My newest one is Bath & Body Works White Citrus (which is also Victoria's Secret!)

Can't believe I haven't posted this yet! I love perfume, and my absolute favorite is Angelique Encens. When I found out it was being discontinued, I went into panic mode and bought the huge flacon. I wear it everyday but already live in fear of the day that it runs out and the only way I'm able to get more is to buy it in Paris!

Mine are Reminiscence patchouli and Fuel for Life....

When I turned thirteen, my aunt bought me a bottle of Ralph Lauren's "Lauren." It came out in the 1970s, is a floral, slightly musky, and delicious scent and the ruby bottle is just lovely. I've never worn anything else, nor have I ever met (or smelled!) any other devotees. I fear the day it is discontinued- I will horde bottles, if I must!

I love that scent - Always reminds me of my mum, because it, too, is her favourite

Your mom and I need to keep buying to insure that it stays on the market!

I am partial to Magnolia, Jasmine, and Lemon Verbana scents and I also found a place online where I can buy my grandmothers favorite perfume, evening in paris.

That's a lovely scent. Smells light and sweet in the bottle, smells alluring on other people, but on me, it's just icky. I sample 4 scents when I shop for oils or perfume - one on each forearm, and one on each wrist - then I keep sniffing the scents to see how they change after being on my skin for an hour or so. Sometimes, I can't get to soap and water fast enough!

Thanks for posting the link to Wiggle Perfume. Their perfumes sound wonderful, and it's cool to see they made one inspired by Anna May Wong!

 

[exquisitebones]

The are lovely and they have a little roll on top to them, so you can just roll a dab on your wrist and be set! and the packaging is just toooooo cute!

 

[PS]

I forgot about this perfume, I bookmarked it and wanted to order! I just ran over to Etsy, thew it in my cart and by the time I was checking out someone snatched the last one from me!:rage:

 

[maggiethespy]

You all are awful influences! I just ordered samples of Speakeasy Vanilla, Maggie, and DuBois.

Speakeasy vanilla on ETSY for $7.50

I am SO glad it works for you - I was worried after I posted about it on my Twitter. The scent just does not work for me at ALL - it smells so lovely in the bottle but really horrible on my skin.

 

[Lady Day]

Fleur, try this brand. Get the Vanilla musk, not the regular Vanilla, it smells too 'candy'. The Musk one is sweet, and natural and a bit subtle.
