What kind of Perfume?

My everyday scent is usually Somali Rose oil... godawful hard to find outside of Detroit, tho. Lately I've been experimenting more with "real" perfumes... I'm addicted to Aquolina Pink Sugar, just 'cos of the sheer ridiculousness of walking around smelling like cotton candy (well, hell, guess it fits w/the Dark Carnival & all that). CK Contradiction is a nice light hot-weather scent. I also love Lolita Lempicka, that's going to be my next fragrance purchase. Weird licorice notes & groovy blue glass apple flacon- doesn't get much cooler than that!

All thru my 20s & early 30s I wore Jungle Gardenia (the Tuvache original, not the Coty knock-off) almost exclusively... been trying to find a bottle on eBay for a while now but they always end up out ov my price range. Maybe when I sell my next batch of Psychopathic merch...

While we're on the subject, what do people scent their homes with? Airs incense ROCKS- one stick will scent a whole room without even being lit.

My personal favorite is jadore by Christian Dior. I rarely ever wear it because I often use scented lotions and fear a bad mix. It has blackberry in it - so if anyone knows of a blackberry scented lotion, let me know!

I often wonder how women keep from clashing their lotion with their anti-perspirent with their hair products with their perfume. I realize that perfumes/colognes have complimentary lotion products as well, but that just sounds like overdoing it to me.

A guy with the right cologne can just make me want to breathe him right in - I wish I could find the perfume that does the same for me!!

I am always burning incense when I'm home, either nag champra, patchouli, sandalwood, lavender, rose, "ancient times," or lotus (when i can find it).

I don't use room/house fragrances...but I did buy some enviro-safe floor/all purpose cleaner. It is called "Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day" and is rose-geranium scented. http://www.mrsmeyers.com/about.html

Caldrea brand cleaners also smell divine, I like the Green-Tea Patchouli and Jasmin-Lily scents. You can find this brand at drugstore.com for cheaper than in most stores.

I love how my house smells after using these~ Much nicer than chemical, pine or lemon stink.

I love Caldrea linen water, & I love shopping Drugstore.com! I've found some mad righteous products there & the prices are indeed reasonable. Yummy stuff!

I'm afraid to say what scents I use, for fear the everyone will end up smelling like me and I won't be memorable anymore.

Yes, I realize that's insane. I'm just sayin'.

I have absolutely no fear of this... I wear Egyptian Musk, the kind Isle of Avalon used to carry. I can't find ANYWHERE that has the same stuff, so I'm gaurding my last 1/2 ounce with my life. IoA stopped carrying it because the place they got it from either stopped carrying it themselves or went out of business, I can't remember which. Does anybody know where to find it? It came in a 1 oz. blue glass bottle.

ACK!!! Can't stand the stuff.  Way too strong.

That might depend on the delivery method. He used the body spray and unless he had just put it on, I usually didnt smell it until I was right on top of him (literally and figuratively :wink of course).

Maybe Baby by BeneFit. Every time I wear it, I have to beat Wayne back with a stick.

I love Maybe Baby, the lotion is wonderful also with little sparkly effects. That's the perfume I wear everyday because it's very fresh smelling.

My special perfume is Anne Klein II. It's been discontinued a while back and my fiancee found a bunch of little bottles on e-bay for me that I savor.

#1  ANGEL by terry mugler....obsessed with this scent

hmmm mostly ANGEL....yummy stuff..

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I just bought angel for way more than I could afford...I LOVE it! I've smelled it before but thought, oh that wouldn't work on me...but it does!

I also like lilac, bergamot, this stuff a friend gave me just called Snow- the fragrance is very light but it does smell like fresh fallen snow! and this oil I picked up at ren faire just called Siren. Good stuff.

    • I am currently floored.   FedEx did a massive 6 box delivery to the wrong address.  I had an autoship order scheduled to arrive before this past weekend.  Nothing showed up.  I contacted the order site and they had a link for the order...a photo of all my boxes thrown in the snow and up the sidewalk of a residence that was not mine.   You would think that at some point, the driver would have looked at the delivery address after they kept throwing box upon box at this location with no shelter from the elements.  They didn't even knock on the door to inform the residents that massive 65+ pound boxes were left all over their walkway.  Nope.  Just dumped them, took a photo as they were walking away and left.   I wonder what the person who found all of those misdelivered boxes must have been thinking when they saw them.  Maybe they kept everything to use, distribute or sell.  No idea.  No claim was filed on that end as of yet.   Fortunately for me, one of the sites that I ordered from, replaced everything at no extra cost.   Unfortunately, now I'm concerned for the other items yet to be delivered.   Needless to say, I'll be watching my notifications like a hawk.
