I have to admit that I didn't wear perfume (or even a fragranced deodorant) when DS was a newborn... I didn't want to interfere with things...and I don't wear it on my body whilst BFing... just a little behind my ears, well away from his sensitive little nostrils LOL
When i was young and reckless and met my DH i used to wear White Diamonds (elizabeth taylor)....even now, when i put it on, it brings back memories about the times we used to 'court'......its amazing how the sense of smell can do that......
I love SJP - 'LOVELY' too....
Im going to buy Baby Doll - Yves St L....... next pay day .....love perfume....
My dad for years has been wearing Blue Stratos (I can remember buying ot for him for fathers days/birthdays etc as a kid) and even tho it is one of the cheapest scents out there (I think Brut 33 may be cheaper lol) I think it smells like the best most expensive scent there is.
I LOVE good smells, but have had a terrible time finding a lovely perfume that isn't "overpowering." Until now, I've just being using a light after-shower body spray. I think I've finally found a perfume that I love, though - Clinique Happy. I haven't bought it yet (waiting for a sale!) but my younger sister wears it, and every time I smell it, I love it! I've tried it on myself a few times at the store, and love the way I smell the whole rest of the day. So, next special occasion, or next time I'm feeling wealthy I know what I'm getting!
how embarrassing-
i wear- body shop vanilla and sandalwood together- been doing this since i was 12!!!
and sometimes just some rose geranium essential oils.. reminds me of labour...
i once got given a bottle of poison and i love the smell of one called illuminate- dunno who makes it tho...
I have worn Clinique
Aromatics for years...
and Estee Lauder Youth Dew when I fancy a change.
The other I really like is Fendi - I wore this in my late teens/early twenties - brings back memories...
They are all quite oriental sandalwood is a theme that runs thru them all.
But Aromatics is "my" perfume. My friends all say when they smell it it reminds them of me so I must have been wearing it a loooong time!
I love fragrance - I adore it. I always have essential oils burning in our home or incense. I also sprinkle lavender essential oil on my kids pillows when I change the sheets...
I have never tried the body shops vanilla mist - but with so many people saying it is their favourite I guess I better check it out!!
My favourite perfumes in no particular order are
-Christian Dior Pure Poison (although I only have a sample bottle)
-Gucci Rush
-J-Lo
-Red Door Velvet - Think this is only new cause I only just tried it in Myer through the week, It is gorgeous and so not like the original Red Door.
Every time I wear the Vanilla mist, without fail, I get a compliment. The Neroli Jasmine comes in a mist too.
Bath, it's hard to tell about the musk, however most (esp french) perfumes do. The synthetic version is exactly the same as "real", but a hell of a lot cheaper and not aquired by cruel, unethical means. That's why I just use Body Shop as I know for sure.
Ralph here. In summer. I love it. Funny, cause that's the word I used to use instead of vomit
Don't tend to bother with any fragrances in winter... don't tend to bother with much in winter, LOL.
OK, my all time favourite that i've been wearing for years is Dolce Vita by Christian Dior - like Deb, my friends tell me this is 'my' fragrance and everytime they smell it it reminds them of me.
Second favourite would have to be Sui Love by Anna Sui - I brought this for my wedding and honeymoon because I wanted a different scent that would remind me specifically of that time - works a charm! Every time I wear it i'm back in Fiji on my honeymoon, young and in love!! LOL! I am a nut for butterflies (I had live butterfly displays as centrepieces at our wedding!!) so I admit the bottle is what caught my attention!
These two are what I wear to work or of an evening. Day to day I just wear the Dolce Vita spray mist or something lighter and cheaper, atm it's Fire & Ice Cool by Revlon.
In summer I love Ralph by Ralph Lauren or Aqua Di Gio by Christian Dior.
For DH I LOVE Dune for Men. I brought it for him years ago and I can't stand him wearing anything else now - it just smells like him!
OK girls, you've inspired me to go and buy some new perfume before I go on mat leave, I'm nearly out of everything!!
