... closely followed by, umm, a few:
- Romance by Ralph Lauren
- Blue by Ralph Lauren
- Happy by Clinique
- Chanel #5 (in VERY small doses)
So mostly, I prefer the light, floral type fragrances. Chanel #5 is very a strong, oriental type fragrance - not my usual, but I do love it for romantic nights out, and never more than 1 spray or I end up trying to wash it off my skin as it's so overpowering.
My all time fav, but it is a winter one - Christian Dior - Hypnotic Poision! They also do a summer one, Pure - I have smelt this one and when my perfumes run out want to get that one next....
All in all, I have a few bottles at the moment - I keep them in the fridge so they last 'longer'.
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.
