RE: What is your favorite fragrance?
Permalink Closed

I'm just starting to really get into fragrances, but I too am a Gemini and I need my variety. I've got a whole list of fragrances that I want. I'm stalking Comptior Sud Pacifique's Vanille Abricot and Vanille Coco, Guerlain Jicky, Chanel Coco Mademoiselle, Fresh Sake and Lemon Sugar (I want to go to the Fresh spa for that though) and YSL Paris right now.


My first fragrance was CK One (I know, so typical). I actually stil like it although I don't wear it anymore, it radiates freshness.


I have in my collection right now



  • Burberry London: my fall winter staple, really crisp apple-y vanilla and musky at the same time on me.

  • Lolita Lempicka:Love the anise and licorice notes, despite the fact that I can't stand to eat licorice. It's soft on me so you can't smell it unless you're close.

  • Kenneth Cole Black: staple summer fragrance...love it, it smells like crap in the bottle IMO but on me, it's a really creamy white floral.

  • Castelbajac: A weird fragrance I wear only occasionally because it offends my SO (he literally gets drowsy) but I like how it starts out really clean (the almond note comes out in full force) but ends up being warm and powder-y musky on me.

Stella by Stella McCartney fan here.  I can't get enough of it.  I just wish it stayed on longer, it fades fast.


I also wear Breathe by Lollia, which comes in the cutest little bottle and is very femme and flowery - but not overpoweringly so.  I actually got a compliment on it recently.


Another fragrance I got compliments on was Dzing! by L'Artisan Perfumiers, but I ran out of that long ago.


I normally don't like flowery perfumes which is odd considering that both the perfumes I wear right now are flower based.

Right now it's Salvatore Ferragamo Incanto. I usually wear one for about a year, then get sick of it and switch, and it takes me forever to find one I like.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue.

Unfortunately a lot of people wear it...I was at a family reunion a while ago and three of my cousins were also wearing it. Maybe it's a family thing. Anyway, it's really soft and one of the few scents that doesn't give me a headache.

I'm with all the other women here who wear Stella - it's so wonderful!


For work: Chanel #5 (just a bit) plus usually a B&BW body spritz of some kind, depending on mood & sometimes in the winter I wear Vera Wang but it's really strong for warmer weather


For going out: Stella & B&BW Moonlit Path


For sexy going out: Chanel Allure (my all-time favorite sexy fragrance) + the Moonlight Path - the two compliment each other splendidly and you can only smell the Moonlight Path if you get close...


For summer days: various other fragrances like Escada's yearly one, VS spritz, L'Occitane Linden (smells just like fresh flowers)


For travel: Hanae Mori b/c it's so sweet and powdery that it makes me feel calm and at home when I'm traveling in a new place (I know it's weird)


I'm sure I'm forgetting some but that's what I remember currently!

my absolute favorites...


-philosophy Amazing Grace for everyday


-VS Heavenly for nighttime/special occasions


-Bath & Body Works White tea & ginger for work/when I am tired (it smells citrusy on me and keeps me awake)


I really like the way these smell in the bottle, but they're bad on me: D&G Sicily (I have a sample bottle of this if anyone wants it, btw), armani mania, Lolita Lempicka, DK Cashmere Mist, J'adore

I wear Breathe by Lollia, Amazing Grace by Philosophy, and Fresh Sugar. I like them all, but I want something more unique and interesting.

You girls with LOTS of perfume are cracking me up!!!

Many perfumes give me a headache for some reason, so I rarely try something new & only use two:

Victoria Secret PINK & Alfred Sung Shi.

Boring

My absolute favorite is Prada, which I wear every day. I think half the reason I like it is the using the pouf (I think it's actually an atomizer) because it just feels so retro and glam. (Surely the intent!) I also love Calypso Mimosa, but I'm out and I can only get it in New York. I want to start collecting but am far too poor for that.


My first perfume (and I'm so sad no one has mentioned it yet...) was good old Love's Babysoft! Remember that stuff? I Loooooooved it and had the lip balm, lotion, body power (what were you supposed to do with that anyhow?). I probably reeked of it. Does anyone know if you can still get it?

This may be a stupid question, but does it smell like a mimosa? One of the reasons I want YSL Paris so bad is because of the mimosa note. Thanks!

I have a lot of body sprays from Bath & Body Works for whenever.  I also have Happy, which I really like.


My favorite are Kenzo perfumes! Parfum d'Ete and Flower are wonderful scents.

Mine is BY Dolce & Gabbaba, I first got this from a sample in one of the Sephora gift bags, about three years ago and I loved it. Its the only one I wear.

Right now I have GAP's Closer, Demeter Pumpkin Pie and I'm still working on a two yr-old bottle of  Eternity. Before Closer I had the Marc Jacobs stuff, which I loved. I try to get a new sent everytime and also finish off the bottle before buying a new one, note the word try. When I was a teenager I liked Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers and in my early twenties I was all over Happy. In fact Happy is the only fragrance that I bought more than once, but I eventually outgrew it. Next I want Armani (darn it I forget what it's called, but the ad is pinky peach colored) oh yeah Armani Mania. I'd like to get Burberry too, but by the time I use up what I have there'll be a dozen knew ones i'll want.
