I don't wear perfume much, the only bottle I have ever used up is Poeme from Lancome.

But - I LOVE fragrant lotions/body sprays etc - does Victoria's Secret still have Tranquil Breezes? That was one of my favorites but I haven't bought from them in a while. Bath and Body Works has some yummy stuff, Pineapple Mango was another of my favorites that has been discontinued. Otherwise I like their Cucumber Melon.

Any other Demeter fans out there? The scents I've tried so far have very little lasting power, but fun for a little bit anyway. My favorite of those I've tried is Grass, Gap made a grass scent a while back and Demeter's is the closest I've found that I like.

I also adore scented candles - my new favorite candle is Root, they LAST and smell fabulous. Pistachio Biscotti - YUM, is all I can say, and I have also tried Fresh Tomato, Blackberry and Cinnamon Apple and loved them all.

Whit.. You and I have a few more things in common..I love vanilla too, and also loved the smell of gas when I was younger. Babies and baby powder...hmmmmmm..

I'm pretty sensitive to fragrances, but in the past Beautiful was one I liked. I can't remember some of the others, but if you go way back, I LOVED my Mom's Channel #5, and Grandma's White Shoulders. I can remember asking for a dime when we went out to eat at this one restaurant so that I could get "sprayed" with colonge in the restroom.

Most of the scents I have now have something to do with Vanilla. I have one bottle of Mezmerize from Avon that I like. I haven't shopped for a new one in years.

Believe it or not, The Healing Garden line at Target is awesome! I am very sensitive to scent and can't handle overly soapy or cloying fragrance- instant headache. I tried their Green Tea Therapy spray and absolutely loved it- and I have never gotten more compliments on the scent I wear than with that one. I also use jasmine essential oil and love that- wore that for my wedding.

Dahli, just ask for the original Dolce & Gabbana, in the red box, There is no name, that is it. But they have since put out other, not quite as nice as the original. It is magnificent

Whit, I love the smell of gasoline also, I always thought I was strange.

Now, this is weird, I love the smell of stinky cigars, and I hate the smell of pipe smoke (I know, I am different than most women) Pipe smoke is too sweet, sickly sweet smelling.

I also do not like the smell of Vanilla, it is too sweet smelling for me.

Trezor is very nice.
Yes, love cucumber melon by Bath and Body Works.
If you like vanilla, they have a holiday one called Vanilla Bean Noel. I got the lotion, it smells wonderful.

Melfie - I smelt Pistachio Biscotti and thought 'wow' this is too good to last, but if you're telling me they last AND smell that good, I'm gettin' one!

My all time favorite scent is fresh cut grass. I like the smell of fall leaves burning, hair perms (sick I know), Colgate toothpaste, carmel cooking on the stove and tropical beaches.
When I wear perfume, my favorites are Lancome's Magie Noir and Christian Dior's Dioressence. I'm one of those stinky chemisty types and options are few and far between.
I love bergemot in my house, lavendar in my tub, and the original cherry/almond Jergens lotion before bed.
I recently smelled a candle called "dirt". It was the real deal. I don't remember if it was a root candle or not, but there were some pretty obscure scents in the display.
Oh, and I like the smell of my husband's head in the morning. Is that part too much information? sorry.

Okay, now I will be taking a visit to Victoria Secret and the Body Shop! All these sound like great stuff.

I got some Mackie this weekend - it's yummy, reminds me of my banana creme brulee candle from Pier 1!

Ysatis by Givenchy (sp???) - YUMMY

I also like White Diamonds

My favorite used to be Opium but that is too strong for me now.

I still love the smell of gas. LOL
I'm 16(I might as well start saying 17. Only 2 months!!) but I think I'm going to be a late loser of that love

I also love the smell of inscents(Sp?). Any kind really.
Oh, and my mom burns Sage so our house sometimes smells of That...and even though it smells at bit like Tobacco, I like it too.

Meggie - I use Healing Gardens Green Teatheraphy lotion at work as hand cream and always getting asked what I am wearing and complimented. It's so fresh smelling. When I wear perfume, my light scent currently is Michael Kors, yummy!!! and for evening or when I am dressed in all dark colors, is Coco by Chanel.

Neko- You'll probably quit liking the smell of gasoline when you have been paying for it most of your life.LOL I love the smell of tons of things but nothing that smells rosey or too flowery. I love that canned fresh cotton sheet smell and I love my Yankee apple pie candle.

Halfunit - let me know ifyou do... the thing about fragrance is it smells different on everyone, so it would be interesting to know how different it might be on me from you!
Justme - please describe Michael Kors a bit... I have heard it's nice but cannot find any samples and don't want to order it without knowing a little more - do you know what it has in it?? (TIA)

Dahli - you are so right. I am intrigued since you referenced bananas. To me, it has more of a spice rack scent.

With my psoriasis, I try not to spray stuff directly on my skin. In addition to spraying my clothes, I try to get a squirt or two in my hair. I like the way I can smell it when my hair moves.

That banana scent is not offered on the Pier 1 website. Is it a new fragrance? I shall seek the candle out on Thursday at the store. I have a ginger/melon candle from them and love it.

Dahli, I'm not wearing it right now so it's hard to describe but when I get home I'll put some on and then let you know. All I know is that when I asked my coworker "The Nose" what he thought he tried to bite my arm LOL It is just so yummy!!!

This fragrance embodies the simplicity and modernity that defines the fashion of Michael Kors. At once polite and traditional, it is exotic and sensual as well. Creamy florals create its signature, made up of dewy freesia, tuberose, blue orris and white peony. Smoky Moroccan incense adds a surprising counterpoint, while cashmere woods, musk and vetiver Haiti provide a voluptuous finish.

Who writes this stuff?

My favorite perfume is "Design," and I got a really good price on a 100 ml bottle at the PX when my sister took me shopping with her. I share a much less expensive perfume with my four-year-old daughter: "Vanilla Fantasy" body spray by Parfums de Coeur. The lotion I use most often on my legs and arms is "Lavendertherapy" by the Healing Garden. I love wearing scent and I love burning scented candles or incense to make things smell wonderful. I've actually heated cinnamon and nutmeg in a frying pan to make the house smell good, too! It works!

LOL!! Halfunit... Well done and thanks! Where did you find that?? I'm also trying to find out about Marc Jacobs perfume and need a source
The Pier 1 candle is called Banana Creme Brulee, and only comes in this little squat two toned candle 'set', no other format availble as with other scents... (you know, potpourri and room spray and big candles etc which I have in Ginger Melon!) This is only about 2.5 inches high and is in a little plastic cube....I have them all over the house because I love the smell. It is not like the creme brulee at the Body Shop at all. Good Luck

Yep, my ginger melon is a 3-wicker!

The website where I found that exotic, sensual and voluptuous description is actually a pretty cheesy looking site, lol.

Click for luxurious perfume write-ups.

Thanks for the sizing info. on the candle!

Halfunit, you kill me. That is too funny! I swear before I saw the desciption I really was going to say "a kind of a creamy floral" but the "polite and traditional as well as exotic and sensual" never crossed my mind. hee!
