Thought I'd share the perfumes that I bought today for all those perfume lovers out there I have to admit that I have been wearing Paris since I was about 14! Holly molly that is like 20 years But for years I couldn't find anything that I liked better until I found 'Romance' and then just as my Paris was running out and I was going to buy Romance someone gave me more Paris as a gift! I know I could have still got other perfume but over the last 5 years I have barely ever worn any perfume. Anyway I just decided last week that I was going to buy some Romance but today I was in the pharmacy and saw a Sex In The City mini pack for only $14.95 (bargain) It has 7 mini bottles which as still a pretty good size and I like the scent of all of them plus they aren't too strong. So I got another pack as a gift for my SIL as she loves perfume.
I am a perfumeaholic I love Samsara, Midnight Poison, Hypnotic Poison, and a Alien .......... BUT my FAV in the whole widest world is Flowerbomb! Its amazing!
I love Issey Miyake it's my all time favourite.
I also love Dior Addict 2.
It's really hard to find a new scent..I am always on the look out, nothing every comes close to Issey Miyake.
i have been wearing romance by ralph lauren for a few years now. i used to always wear paul smith for women - i started wearing it when i lived in the uk. it's still my fave but couldn't find it duty free last time i went on holidays i don't feel properly dressed if i'm not wearing perfume! (although i did take a break when DS was a nb)
Me, though I don't buy the expensive stuff - at the moment I am loving a fragrance I recently bought called golden apple, and I love marousia - have done for years.
Hahahaha I love that you guys thought of me when you saw this thread... I admit, it popped up in the 'new posts' and I was like 'BROADBAND CANNOT OPEN THIS THREAD FAST ENOUGH! PERFUUUUMMMMEEE!!' lol
Yes, I'm obsessed! I have a collection ranging from Vanilla Fields and Imari Seduction, all the way up to Dior and Gucci. I'm a big fan of heavy florientals, but living in such a warm climate, I'm always on the hunt for summer-friendly fragrances that won't give me a headache or stink out a room Dior Poison was my signature fragrance until I got my hands on a bottle of Addict (had been waiting forever for that one!) - it truly is my 'dream' scent, if I had been able to get into a perfumer's nose and design my own scent, Addict would be it
I have heaps of Dior frags, unfortunately Chanel just doesn't seem to work on my skin - I've tried so many and they just come off yucky on me
The perfumes that I wear on a regular basis (and I admit that this is just a tiny percentage of my collection, I tend to collect perfumes because they mean something to me even if I don't wear them, or I just like the bottle or the brand) are: Dior Addict, Dior Poison, Hypnotic Poison, YSL Cinema (omg I LOVE this one, it's so vanilla-y and creamy), Gucci Guilty (I'm hanging out so hard for Guilty Intense!), Angel (wish I could love Alien but it smells like fly spray and cough lollies on me), Bvlgari Black, Reb'l Fleur by Rihanna (more on celeb frags in a minute lol), Maitresse by Agent Provocateur and Lolita Lempicka.
My DDs are turning into mini-perfumistas as well - I got DD1 a bottle of Britney's Fantasy for her 4th birthday and she wears it once or twice a week (when we go out shopping and she wants to feel all dressed up), and DD2 always hauls me into the local Terry White after we get coffee and donuts, to try perfumes - she loves Versace for some reason (I only like Vanitas myself lol). I'm not at all a perfume snob but my skin 'eats' perfumes so I find I have to carry celeb frags or other cheap ones (Avon etc) in my handbag to respray during the day, I like high-end perfumes because they're so complex and last all day (I have a dress that absolutely reeks of Addict even after washing it two or three times lol, it just stays in the fabric and smells delicious). There are quite a few celeb fragrances that are wonderful, I was really impressed with Rihanna's first effort, and I'll definitely be blind-buying her new one when it comes out because the notes sound perfect for my tastes. Britney's are super-sweet but I like Midnight Fantasy on cool, sunny spring days - unfortunately Radiance gives me a splitting headache, DD1 loves the bottle but I won't allow it in my house hahaha.
I started wearing perfumes before I hit puberty - nothing fancy, but my mum got sick of me stealing her Miss Dior and started buying me cheap ones like Ici (which I don't wear any more but still keep a bottle of because it brings back lovely memories) and Body Shop perfume oils (I love the old Cinnamon Spice and the old Vanilla - the new one smells like car air freshener). These days, I don't feel 'dressed' until I'm smelling good as well
My latest purchases were Agent Provocateur's signature, and Eau Emotionelle - both picked up on an auction site that is getting rid of stock from Perfume Empire (which some of you may know went into liquidation earlier this year or last year). (Anybody who's interested, PM me and I'll tell you where to find them - they have 30-100ml bottles of high-end and celeb frags starting at $20 up to about $70 - RIDICULOUSLY cheap, and absolutely legit!)
*sigh* I could talk perfumes all day! Love them - there's such a huuuuge range out there, they're all so different and beautiful in their own ways, and I'm a huge believer in scent being a big part of making memories.
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
Who Loves Perfume?
