Wild Honeysuckle from Bath and Body Works. The whole collection probably costs less than one bottle of some of the designer fragrances.

It’s evolved over time.  When I was in my pre-teens, it was Jean Nate. (What?  Stop pretending you didn’t wear it.)  When I was in my 20s, it was Calvin Klein’s Obsession.  When I was in my 30s, it was Chanel #5.
Now I’m 42, and it rotates between Philosophy’s Amazing Grace, Kenzo Flower, and Bath & Body Works Sensual Amber body spray.  There are too many good scents to stick to just one.

9th grade i thought i was awesome b/c i bought BRUT aftershave and cologne from walgreens before the first day of class.  i was in gym and one girl said “oh my god, someone smells like disgusting cheap cologne.”  from that day forward my part time job money helped me pay for nicer smelling stuff.

Maybe they are wides.  I dunno.  Whatever everyone in Addison is smoking, that’s what I smell like by the end of the night.  I’m just glad most of the bars don’t allow cigars.

@C.Munro - I assumed you were a smoker.  Camel Wides are/were (don’t know if they are made anymore) ridiculously thick cigarettes, someone I knew a long time ago smoked them.  Looked like tampons at least that was the colorful description back in High School.

back when i wore cologne nightly, i had to rotate about every 3 months.  my cologne would start to smell like bug spray to me.  i could buy a brand new bottle, and it was all bug spray.  but if i rotated them about tri-monthly they smelled good.  anyone else stop smelling their perfume/cologne after awhile?

@MuchoMacho: I think being unable to smell a person’s cologne anymore is just because we become so used to it so we can hardly smell it anymore, even though everyone around us still can. It’s something all of those middle school boys have yet to realize, thus why you gag every time they walk by with their cloud of Axe (at least I know I do).

I actually never used to leave the house without perfume. But it always made me sneeze and my eyes water when I first put it on (even though I barely used any). I just stopped using any, but I still get complimented all the time on the way I smell. I think it’s my fabric softener

@MuchoMacho: Not smelling the perfume/cologne you wear anymore is totally normal. You’re just so used to it. I think that’s why so many people take a bath in theirs because they can’t smell what’s right under their nose…but everyone else can smell from a mile away.

Today, it is a lovely bouquet of Tarka Dall, Sag Panir, Vegetable Masala, Vegetable Korma and Egg Pilau Rice…...

C. Munro:  Stinking of cigarettes, eh?  I used to smoke Lucky Strikes about a million years ago but I gave up about 3 or so years ago.  I don’t miss ‘em, mind.

CK One. Don’t laugh, I’ve loved it since I was was in jr high.

other than that, I have a few bottles of essence my SO got for me while he was in Egypt, and they smell AMAZING. I can’t read the labels since some of it leaked out on the journey home, but, I’m fairly certain they’re both flower scents. I keep those for special occasions though since it’s not like I can just go out and buy a new bottle if they run out.

I’m a lime, basil and mandarin girl myself too. I got a bottle of pomegranite noir and though it’s too sweet for every day, it’s a great dressing up scent.

I was given Diesel Fuel for Life last year and I quite like that, but I’m so picky about perfumes.

Does anyone remember Charlie Red and Charlie Blue? Smells like Teen Spirit indeed!

BPAL—Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab for me. Today I’m wearing Love in the Asylum, which is: A song of love and madness: two roses, tolu balsam and ambergris with vanilla, labdanum, tobacco leaf, carnation and tonka.

My friend calls them trading cards for goth girls, and it’s a little bit true. They’re also delicious perfume oils, so they last much longer than sprays and don’t have any of the alcohol smell that others get.

For everyday:  Body Shop’s White Musk

For special occasions: Kenneth Cole Black for women

And for the record, has anyone come up with a polite way to tell someone they flat-out stink or they’ve oversprayed? My mom wears Clinique Aromatics and/or Bath and Body’s sandalwood rose and just BATHES in it.  It’s not just that the smell is unpleasant, I half the time end up with a headache or a sneezing attack.

My mother used to wear Estee Lauder Youth Dew when my sister and I were kids.  I remember not being able to pronounce the name.  I would call it “Youf Doof.”  That’s all I can call it now.  Mom’s going to be 65 in a couple of weeks, and I just might buy her a bottle to remind her to be forever young - if I can keep myself from asking the woman at the counter for a bottle of Youf Doof.

For me it really varies.  It used to be Amor Amor, which I still use every so often.  But now it’s based on my mood and what I’m doing and where.  I love Harajuku Lovers G because I adore coconut, but Pink Sugar is fun too.

But ever since I got some BPAL oils I haven’t used any of the others.  The BPAL oil I use most - and at first sniff it smells so strong, yet goes on soft - is Hellcat.

Hellcat: A soft, sensual, luxuriant blend with a wicked bite: hazelnut, buttercream, honey mead, rum and sweet almond.

I also wear -
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Bat: green tea, melon, mint, lime rind, and champagne grape with lemon balm, mullein, and toadflax.

&

White Rabbit: Strong black tea and milk with white pepper, ginger, honey and vanilla, spilled over the crisp scent of clean linen.

These oils are so addicting, and the scent lasts so long, they’re worth every penny.

we need some sort of survey of what men like in smells-I love my white flowers perfumes but guys either love it or think i smell like their grandma. It would be nice to have a ‘sexy’ perfume that I go to when I’m feeling like going on the prowl-right now I just use Cartier’s Delices for that.

I have tons of half empty bottles of perfume, mostly because I will love it, then my body chemistry will change and then it will smell completely different. My SO’s favorite on me is Coco Mademoiselle, probably because when I first fell for him I would put the tiniest dab on his clothes (without him knowing) so he would randomly smell it. Totally worked. It smells way too sweet for me now.

I rotate between three, with a fourth in when I need a change. As you can tell, I prefer sensual fragrances. I really can’t stand anything overtly floral or fruity.

Lolita Lempicka (original scent)

Thierry Mugler’s Angel, but only when it’s cold out, as the scent really doesn’t go well on me when the weather is warm

Victoria’s Secret Vanilla anything

Aquolina Pink Sugar (prefer the Chocolate but it’s hard to find)

I used to mix my own essential oils and wear my own creation. Can we please all wear less perfume, though? I don’t know how many times a chick walks past me in a thick cloud of whatever and it makes me gag. If I can smell you after you’ve gone it’s gross, regardless of the scent, be it expensive perfume, smoke, BO, whatever.

@MarieMacCee - I second that, if no-one else has yet…we ought to have the boys weigh in.

Gentlemen, what say you on how we scent ourselves? Is it the exotics, musky and laden with whispers of sultry nights that you prefer? Or is it with the innocence of flowers, tinged at the edges with a sweetness you can so very nearly taste? Maybe it is with the carefree brush of coconut or mango so that you can feel the warm sand when you touch her? Yet perhaps it is something else altogether…Queen Frostine’s Febreeze or C.Munro’s stale cigarettes? Mmm, sorry, likely not that ; )

Okay..so I totally get this scent thing… except this one time…

I had this boyfriend…and had just read something about signature scents, etc. I decided to go with Bath & Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar, because I figured vanilla scent was something fairly every day and he’d be thinking about me all the time.

One night, we were cuddling on his coach. He got close and said “mmmm vanilla”, so having had a few too many glasses of wine, confessed my vanilla secret. He looked at me with a sly grin and said “It smells just like the stuff I spray in the bathroom.”

Needless to say, I switched my scent fairly quickly.
