Ladies, your favorite scents?

[EmmaK]

Curious what y'all like to wear to smell even yummier than your natural selves would be, of course. Perfumes, body spray, body lotion, or maybe even a shower gel where the scent lasts...

[EmmaK]

In the warmer months I was wearing Salvatore Ferragamo's Incanto Dream.
Right now I am favoring this amazing scented oil that I got in St. Kitts. It smells like warm glazed/powdered donuts.
At Jon's house I have some lotion from Bath & Body Works called Frosting Forever".

[Funshine]

I am allergic to a lot of scented lotions and stuff :sadpanda:

[badkitty3804]

Bath and Body works has this Midnight Pomegranate body spray that I lovelovelove. As well as a seasonal pumpkin lotion.

Aside from that, I'm pretty steady with the Tommy Girl and Alfred Sung's "Shi".

There's another one that I REALLY want to pick up that's similar to Shi, but I can't remember the name of it right off. I have a sample at home with it written down, I'll check it when I get home. :)

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

i wear victoria's secret "heavenly" exclusively now

before i got turned on to this i wore victoria's secret "very sexy" for a long time

i think its hot when you can pick ppl out by the cologne/perfume they wear, and maybe my fascination with this (as odd as it may be) keeps me from being a "scent whore"

[Killary]

#1 Perfume: Calvin Klein's 'Escape'. Something about it makes people want to suck my neck. Potent stuff.
#2 Perfume: Vera Wang. Floral and light and crisp.
#3 Perfume: Lanvin. Good for the office. It also makes people take a second sniff.

I scoff at designer stuff. But designer perfume... :drool:

Agreed. I try to find a signature scent and stick with it for a while. I went through a very long vanilla phase...I remember L'Occitane's was great.

[badkitty3804]

What pushes me with regular scents is 100% their reaction to my body chemistry. A lot of scents smell okay on me, but there's a VERY small handful that smells 'fucking awesome'. Usually I do the sample thing, walk around for an hour or so, then check the scent - did it last long? Did the scent change?

Will you go scent-shopping with me sometime?

We'll just have to go 'shopping' soon in general. :D
The holidays ARE coming up.

Indeed. But even then, I've bought some perfumes where, although it was enjoyable, it wasn't awesome enough to buy it a second time, so I'll try something similar (hence the very long vanilla phase, trying many brands).



One thing I hate is how I am straight up unable to imagine the scent of a product by the description (I mean for perfume, not something like a scented basic lotion). So many times I've been excited by the description of something, and gone to try it in the store and been completely disappointed.

Yeah, they're definitely the suck when it comes to descriptions. I'm really picky about my scents being subtle without a chemical smell or floral hints, and I get really annoyed when I go in expecting one thing, and end up smelling like a daisy barfed all over me.

[EmmaK]

I feel you on the chemical scent, and I avoid florals like the plague. The exception is that Salvatore Ferragamo, which I love, and I'm pretty sure has something floral going on. It has a flower on the bottle :shrug:


(My sense of smell is so refined :specialed:)


Bottom line, it has to be yummy, and it has to smell even better when it heats up with my body. I like simple, sugary/sensual scents. I still haven't found "the one" when it comes to fragrance though, been working on it for a while.

[badkitty3804]

Check out "Shi" next time you're out and about.

You sound like you have my tastes with scents.

SHI was created by the design house of Alfred Sung and launched in 2001. The initial impression of water lily and fig leaves infuse Shi with pure clarity, while the midnotes of orange blossom and frangipani create an aura of feminine tranquility. A unique water musks accord breathes. Shi and other genuine fragrances are available at our discount online store. Other women accessories such as body lotion, body cream, body powder, deodorant stick, deodorant spray, shower gel and body oils may also be available .

[EmmaK]

:ponder: I will give it a smell-arooni.

[badkitty3804]

It's yummy.

And while that description hints at floral, it's far from.

[LilLemur416]

I <3 body by victoria - not only is is a perfume, but they also have body wash, lotion, etc all in the same scent

During the winter, I'll also wear Opium by Yves Saint Laurent

I've found that the Mango body wash from Body Shop has a yummy scent that lasts a long time (I'm also partial to all things mango, but whenever I wear it, Chris says I smell like candy)

[sassypance]

Fendi Fantasia
Coco Mademoiselle
Chanel No. 5
Hawaiian Ginger (Calgon)
VS Pear Glace'
VS Love Spell
and as much as I hate to say it.. Britney Spears' Curious

[AmandaHuie]

I used Gucci Envy Me and Envy Me 2

Gucci Envy me is a scent that plays on seduction. Full of magnetic appeal, it is the ultimate captor of desires, a source of irresistible attraction that is captured within a sleek, desirable bottle covered in delicate pink Gucci G's. The seductive top notes of Pink Peony, Water Jasmine and Pink Pepper blend intimately with the heart that combines Lychee, Pomegranate, Pineapple with Pink Musk, Seringa and White Tea. Finally the delectable base of Sandalwood, Teakwood and Sensual Musk emerges to reveal the true irresistible experience of Gucci Envy me.

Gucci introduce the limited edition Envy Me 2. Indulge yourself with the essence of desire. A delicious mix of orange, magnolia and violet sweetened with a heart of rose and heliotrope, deepened by patchouli. So irresistible, you can not help yourself - indulge.

[betseyxox]

My signature scent has and always will be betsey johnson. She discontinued her first perfume and came out with another. I like the new one, but am partial to the old one. Lucky for me, I had a heads up on the discontinuing and bought 4 bottles of it. It's a little strong though, I only wear it at night.
During the day I like to mix it up between Lolita Lempicka or Marc Jacobs. I've also got a big thing for philosophy's so in love. Hempz lotion also has an amazing smell, great lotion too.

[Jill]

I love the entire Demeter line, especially Mojito, which I wear all the time - I just wish they lasted longer. I switch those up with Boss Intense by Hugo Boss.

[badkitty3804]

Ohh, the other one that I fell in love with at the store and need to pick up is Davidoff - "Cool Water Wave".

Cool Water Wave for Women begins with fresh fruit top notes of watermelon, mango, passion fruit and guava over floral mid notes of peony, freesia, and heliotrope. The scent finishes on base note of pink peppercorn, iris wood, sandalwood, amber and musk.

[tinybutterfli]

I alternate between Ralph Lauren's Hot (my fave) and Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely.

I use to wear FCUK Her and D&G Feminine too. I really like Donna Karen's Be Delicious but it lasts like 5 seconds.

[GiveMeFunkyBeats]

Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male

seriously, that is like sexy in a bottle

[LizE]

My all time fave has to be Chanel No. 5.

I also like Allure (Chanel), Gucci Rush 2, Romance (Ralph Lauren) and this one by Karl Lagerfield that I can't remember the name of right now.

Oh! And Ysatis by Givenchy.

[CareBear]

I've managed to work in several places that sell perfumes etc. Most women understand you have to layer scents in order for them to last. When i worked at VS i would have people spraying me with everything all evening so I would go home smelling like a French whore. So I'm rather picky when it comes to perfume:

Lovely - Sarah Jessica Parker
Chanel No. 5
Organza – Givenchy

[Hitoi]

This thread makes me realize how much I need a new scent.

My favorite over the summer was Michael Kors Island. But all I've been wearing now is Bath & Body Works Japanese Cherry Blossom.

All time favorite: Body Shop White Musk

[Hitoi]

Alison's (hitoi) sister can pick people out by their scent. she has a great smell memory.

[ChicoMDK]

I really think like at least half the female population wears Love Spell at some point or another

[housecat]

I am a Marc Jacobs man myself. I have gotten many, many compliments and double takes when I spray some of that on.

I have heard that Acqua Di Gio is a well liked scent, but I have also heard that it's one that is used by lots of guys. Too many guys was actually the phrase used.

[badkitty3804]

I rarely smell it on men in public, but I know it's popular and men are aware of it's capabilities.

I feel like a bloodhound when I pick up on the scent, I immediately look for the source.

[velvetgoldmire]

I have gotten similar reactions to me + Marc Jacobs. One of the latest reactions I got was "You smell so good, it's not fair."

You probably rarely smell it on men in public because guys don't usually wear cologne in public. It's usually reserved for date nights and other such booty times.

:yes:

I've been told that I naturally smell good...but that's probably the body scrub I use or whatever. I haven't worn cologne in...well, probably not since Barrett and Renee's wedding which was like a year and a half ago.

[sassypance]

What is wrong with men today?

You would totally pick up more booty if you wore cologne more often. Don't you know how powerful scent connotation is on the female mind? (Male mind too)

Just... don't take a dip in it. A little smelly-water goes a long way :yes:

[maynard]

I'm not resorting to bottled scents to get me laid. That's what college was for.

Besides, only douches wear cologne out regularly, getting laid or no.

[sassypance]

Cologne's don't get you laid, they get you noticed.

And if it's Acqua Di Gio, tackled on the street.

[housecat]

:haha:

Honestly, on guys my fave scent is that freshly showered smell. Sometimes, just soap is enough.

Otherwise, a HINT of cologne.

[badkitty3804]

I like natural scents. Some guys just smell yummy naturally. Especially with a hint of sweat from squishy time.

[maynard]

I'm the same way. I guess women wear perfume for themselves, because we could really care less. Honestly, you all smell nice enough on your own (you know, provided you shower regularly).

It sounds gay but I like loaning sweatshirts and the like to a girl I'm dating b/c I get it back and it smells like girl for at least a week afteward.

people always comment I smell like laundry. (cuz Lisa uses like 5x as much fabric softener as she is supposed to)

not sure if this is good or bad

[betseyxox]

Lots of you have said SJP's, and although I don't own any I would have to agree. They are all good, I just hate having something that a lot of people have.

I also conquer with the aqua di gio. Kenneth Cole black does it for me too. :badkitty: It makes me all weak in the knees and gives me the urge to suck on the guys neck.

My cologne time is reserved for weekends and date nights. I have worn scents to work from time to time to get unbiased female opinions. I like to keep it subtle, so it's usually 1 spritz on the inside of each wrist, and spread that around behind my ear and along the neck and collarbone. Colognes tend to be heat activated, and these areas of the body tend to be the most reactive.

Don't lump me in with the rest of these jackals.

I'm just joking with you. Smelling like the Snuggle bear is... cute. :)

It depends. Perfumes and colognes either smell really good and subtle, because they bring out the natural flavor of your pheromones and mesh well with your scent, or or they smell like an absolute disaster. That's why I am very particular about the colognes that I will wear. The vast majority of them smell way too overbearing and way too musky. On both myself and women, I prefer a much more subtle scent. It's the same way with women and makeup, Wear enough to bring out your natural features. Maybe so I don't even notice that you're wearing makeup. If you wear too much, you look like a clown.

[Matt Sanborn]

I'm just joking with you. Smelling like the Snuggle bear is... cute. :)

I used to really like Givanchy and Dolce Gabanna.

[Transmattic]

I wear Lui By Armani. The last time I saw it in a store though was in Las Vegas at the Emporio store in Ceasar's Palace. I have to order it online now, although I can usually make a bottle last a year or more.

[Matt Sanborn]

I cant believe nobody has said they wear the Michael Jordan cologne.

I second that approval-

tackled and molested. It doesn't smell the same on every guy but the idea makes me as badkitty would say -- ready for squishy or at least some playful neck biting.

me?

summer - VS pure seduction and endless love
winter- Origins Ginger Souflee and/or Hugo Boss

I thought I was the only one that still liked the scent of Drakkar. If I bought that for a guy I would put it in another bottle though, can't have medicine cabinet riflers finding it...

[Chrississippi]

I used Gucci Envy Me and Envy Me 2

Envy Me is my favorite. I love it long time.

For a scent to be appealing to me, it has to

1) Smell good
2) Not smell to "teenbopperish" (like Britney's perfumes, imo)
3) Not smell like a old woman (ex., Shalimar)
4) Have a distinct smell that's not common
5) Still smell the same (or better) after an hour of wear

The problem with scents, for me, is that after a while they start to smell like something more familiar. I used to wear J'Dore but it started smelling like fabric softener and now Envy Me is starting to smell like grapefruit. After this happens, I have to change scents because I get bored of the smell, but it sucks because it takes me forever to find something I like.

Two of my favorite lotions are brown sugar and fig and gardenia, both by Bath and Body Works.

[badkitty3804]

bruce campbell is more than just 'the guy.' :D

Someone clearly needs to read "Make Love! The Bruce Campbell Way".

bruce campbell is more than just 'the guy.' :D

I really didn't know who Bruce Campbell was or that that guy's name was Bruce Campbell. I didn't realize he was huge in horror films and B films, but is a seemingly smart guy. (watched some youtube interviews).

I did know he was the star of the show, Jack of all Trades that I used to catch. It was a WB, Xena, Hercules type of show where he swashbuckles around in time or someting. It was amusing.

[maynard]

Can't forget Bubba Ho-Tep, either. :D

[badkitty3804]

Well yeah.

And most Sam Raimi films he's at least got a bit part.

My man wears "Realities".....MAN, does that smell DE-LISH!!!!!!

(I like when a person wears one scent rather exclusively - then whenever I smell that scent it reminds me of that person.)

[AmandaHuie]

I cant believe i forgot to mention Creed. I love a lot of their shit. They have far too many scents though.

i'm bumping this thread because i love the new scent i got for xmas. Daisy by Marc Jacobs. sure the bottle looks like it belongs in a child's section, but i love the subtle scent. looove it.

[Hitoi]

My mom bought me L by Lamb (bless her heart for loving Gwen Stefani) but I'm still getting used to it. I haven't worn anything other than B&BW spray for so long.

Narcisco Rodriguez For Her

I got a ton of compliments last time I wore this, I wasn't big on it at first but it grew on me.

I smelled that at Macy's recently it wasn't my type.

Yeah, it's not really my type, either. I felt bad returning it since I had to return 2 of her other xmas gifts so I'm hoping it ends up working for me.

My other sister ended up with Marc Jacobs in her stocking :crying2:

[sassypance]

I would be jealous :puppydog:

[Mandaba]

no really. there's no way to make it over powering. i absolutely love it. im glad they got me the big bottle. i wear it almost every day. Haiku by Avon comes in second.

[aspen]

On a man, I absolutely love Curve...make me melt.

On a women, I like Ralph, Tommy Girl or Victoria Secret Very Sexy.

I <3 Cupcake Cult's "Vanilla Cupcake." It smells like a mix of vanilla and malibu rum. And it lasts FOREVER when I put it on.. If I crash in a shirt or something that I wore out for the night, it still smells yummy the next morning. And I ALWAYS get compliments on how good it smells.

A friend of mine has GOT to have that, because literally every time I see her I'm like wow... she smells like vanilla and rum! It's especially delicious.

My two favorites for myself are Victoria's Secret Very Sexy 2 (which I think has turned into VS Hot) and the original Very Sexy, as well as Burberry's Brit. Brit I use mainly only in the winter though, whereas VS seems to be alright no matter what the weather.

Nice! Though I don't think I'd want to smell like rum...

I really didn't know who Bruce Campbell was or that that guy's name was Bruce Campbell. I didn't realize he was huge in horror films and B films, but is a seemingly smart guy. (watched some youtube interviews).

I did know he was the star of the show, Jack of all Trades that I used to catch. It was a WB, Xena, Hercules type of show where he swashbuckles around in time or someting. It was amusing.

He was also on Hercules as the prince of theives, I think that's why he's got those cameos in spider man since it's either produced or directed byt he same guy, raimi or however his name is spelled.

It's available at any Hot Topic.. Or at least it use to be.

The rum scent isn't too overpowering. When people smell it, they usually ask if I'm the one smelling like vanilla.
