I cut my fragrance teeth early with a cologne given to me for a birthday, then with some Revlon crap that I thought was lovely!
The stakes were raised when my GF got me Elizabeth Taylor's White Diamonds. I LOVED it, till I got sick of the smell mingling with ciggie smoke, because I'd wear it out clubbing in the bad old days.
I moved on to Moschino for a little while.
I have Be Delicious, Cashmere, a lovely Estee Lauder dab that DP hates, another one DP bought me that I forget at this moment in time but is a Hugo Boss one, and my current fave...a $7.50 perfume oil from a local-ish craft shop called Erotic Amber that is divine, and seems to be doing the trick with DP
I did love a Body Shop one called Rose Musk for ages, then I worked for Body Shop and decided I didn't like their oils much, after all.
My all time favourite has got to be one that I don't think did anything for many people (because it wasn't available for all that long) - Versace Yellow Jeans. Many, many years later I realised what the main note in it was because I almost fell over in a nursery one day, realising I could ask the nursery owner what it was - boronia! The simple boronia scent makes me swoon!
After working in that kind of area for department stores for a while, I got over the perfume thing and have stuck to what I already have (the Cashmere was a gift when I worked for Estee Lauder, and it's quite sophisticated, I think) and the perfume oils that get right to the heart of what I'm feeling
Ohh i Have Coco Mademoiselle and Coco Chanel & love them both
I have the Gwen Steffani - LAMB- it's ok but not GREAT
I loveds my SJP Lovely
I have Nina - Nina Ricci - this is my 2nd fave
Cool Waters Women
