Archive through November 29, 2002
Fluff | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 07:10 am     I am a perfume junkie I know! Right now, I like Forever Elizabeth by Elizabeth Taylor, and sometimes I use Cool Water by the Healing Gardens. Also, Calgon has the best body sprays ever! Particularly their Morning Glory scent. It is the best. And their sprays actually last! |
Dahli | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 07:16 am     My all time signature scent is Angel by Thierry Mugler, it is not available in my city, as it's too chi chi for a dinky town like this (capital city of the province) so every relative knows to bring it in when visiting or travelling to larger centres LOL! I have a lot of stuff, all the way from the Victoria Secret heavenly scents to Joop! for Women, there is a lot of Givenchy product (newest one I like is Hot) on my dresser and recently ordered two, Marily Miglin Pheremone (BLECH!!) and Isis (Not bad)created for Princess Di supposedly. Can you tell I love scent?!! |
Fluff | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 07:20 am     You know, I posted this question somewhere else and Victoria Secret just kept popping up! I'm gonna have to take a visit to sample their scents! |
Bigd | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 08:13 am     the perfume I always wear is Beautiful by Estee Lauder. But my favorite scent is simply baby powder or baby lotion. |
Zeno39 | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 08:22 am     My favorite is Escape by Calvin Klein. It's expensive, but lasts a long time. The scent is light, and I like that. Revlon used to have one called Moon Drops, and it was so nice. They discontinued it, and I don't know why. |
Cablejockey | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 09:19 am     The Body Shop has some glorious scents in their soaps, body shampoos, and oils. The African Spa collection, Snow, and Satsuma are just 3 of my favorites. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 09:50 am     My favorite is Encounter by Victoria's Secret, but they haven't made it for a few years now. It has a vanilla base but its very light and fresh at the same time. I can still get it off of Ebay, its expensive, which I don't mind because I love it, but I wonder how long a fragrance can stay "good". When I first found out it was going to be discontinued, I bought about five bottles of it kept it stacked in the vegetable crisper until I ran out. That was about a year ago. They haven't come out with anything quite like it since. I have been seaching for a replacement but haven't found anything yet that I'm fully satisfied with. The closest I've come is Cucumber Vanilla and Cucumber Melon Fantasy from the Body Fantasies collection by Parfums deCoeur. They can be found at any drug store or Wal-Mart but don't quite hit the mark. I can't stand anything heavy, it gives me a headache. Although, I love the smell of Opium, but can't actually wear it, so I'll spray some around my bedroom once in awhile for just a hint of it.  |
Halfunit | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 09:52 am     My dad bought me a bottle of Mackie (as in Bob Mackie) years ago, and I'm hooked. The description says: It's fragrant nature explores essences of bergamot, tuberose and lily of the valley. Blended with notes of carnation, cedar and amber. Hubby wears Drakkar. |
Car54 | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 09:52 am     I love White Musk from the Body Shop and Happy from Clinique. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 09:54 am     I haven't checked out the Body Shop yet, do they have a website? Are they in malls? |
Car54 | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 09:59 am     In this area they are in the larger malls. The Body Shop |
Ginger1218 | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 09:59 am     I love Dolce & Gabbana (the original in the red box). I have had men follow me in airports because they love the smell. I get soooo many compliments. Dahli, I once smelled Angel on someone and fell in love with it. I ran to buy it and did not try it on. Needless to say, with my body chemistry, it was so horible. It smelled like a cross between Bug Spray and Grapefruit. Yet, on the other woman it was so wonderful. I wound up giving it away, because I could not wear it. |
Dahli | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 10:25 am     OH Ginger....Bug spray and Grapefruit!!! ROFLMAO! that's too bad, I sure do get a lot of compliments on it. I am intrigued by your Dolce & Gabbana - does it have an actual scent name that I could refer to if I looked for it?? |
Webkitty | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 10:47 am     Thanks for the link Car Ginger, I know what you mean about body chemistry and fragrances. I once had a neighbor that wore Eternity and it smelled SO GOOD on her! I ran out and bought some and it just smelled terrible on me! I was so disapointed. That was one reason I liked Encounter so much. I had the most unlikely people asking me what I was wearing and where they could get it because it smelled so good on ME. My father even said it smelled good and he NEVER comments on things like this! This is important to me because some women love a fragrance but it doesn't go with their body chemistry and they don't realize it. My late mother-in-law is an example. She loved Ciaria. It is a strong perfume, and some can pull it off, but something about her body chemistry with it was just hideous. She was hard headed and always looking for a scrap so we couldn't say anything to her. It invaded everything she had. Even things like books and pictures. Even her tv when it got warmed up would ooze the smell. We had to get rid of every thing she owned after she passed on, it just gagged us. Sad little tale, but its true. Ever since, I always ask my husband if what I am wearing is too overpowering or unpleasant, I know he will tell me the truth. |
Neko | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 12:30 pm     My smell is Satsuma and Starfruit. Both from Body Shop. |
Dahli | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 12:37 pm     Another really interesting fragrance line I find at Luxbeauty.com is the Comptoir Sud Pacifique blends, those are amazing... one is even called Lait Sucre and smells just like it! I received a packet of samples from them and can;t decide which one to order, they all smell amazing and truly good enough to eat! |
Max | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 01:10 pm     Obsession by Calvin Klein |
Squaredsc | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 03:01 pm     i love light somewhat fruity scents. i love happy by clinique too. my d.h. gave me a bottle last year and i am down to a corner so im saving it for special occasions. for everyday i use sheer freesia from the body shop. i have the body splash and the lotion. i love it to death. |
Squaredsc | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 03:06 pm     oops its not the body shop, but it is some kind of bath and body store, can't think of the name. |
Sabbatia | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 03:39 pm     A man that has been working hard. |
Whit4you | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 04:56 pm     I love the smell of vanilla..and coconut yummmm.... love the smell of cinnimon I love the smell of a baby specially one that's been baby powdered. When I was 10ish.. I loved the smell of gasoline (not unleaded gas) I didn't like inhale it or anything like that - I just really liked the smell - I have NO idea why, don't like the smell now but it always reminds me of a time when I did lol. I absolutely love the smell of angel food cake... |
Wargod | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 04:58 pm     Lets see...on hubby, definitely Obsession for Men. On me, I'm pretty simple. I love vanilla, raspberry, and peach, and usually switch between those three most days. Bath/shower gels, lotions, and body sprays. For going out, I use Imari by Avon. |
Webkitty | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 05:20 pm     Oooooh, I guess I'm old fashioned when it comes to mens fragrances! I like Old Spice on my husband. I've bought him other (expensive) fragrances over the years, but always come back to Old Spice. He doesn't care, he puts on whatever I buy, he's so easy! lol Whit, I liked the smell of the old fashioned kind of gas to, weird, huh? I love whenever I go through the candle section of any store, how it smells. They don't smell as good at home, I guess I have to buy more than one to get the effect. (duh) Sometimes I'll put some cinnamon and other similar spices in a little pot and gently boil it for a few hours. The whole house smells so good. Usually after I've done a really good cleaning. The clean house and the good smelling house just make everything seem right with the world. As least for a little while anyway! |
Jbean | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 07:35 pm     i love rapture by victoria's secret also mary kay's elige (smells SOOO good), also like belara, but not as much as elige. for general scents (not cologne)i like vanilla and cinnamon |
Webkitty | Friday, November 29, 2002 - 08:00 pm     Jbean, VS is phasing out Rapture! If you love it, but some now! ~warning, warning~ Will Robinson! There original three were: Encounter (long gone) Victoria and Rapture. They have gone with a whole new line. I was able to buy the huge display bottles for Encounter and Victoria, (empty) still looking for the Rapture bottle. I collect stuff. |
