Favorite Perfume/Body Fragrance

[Sowelu]

So, what's your favorite perfume ladies?
Favorite cologne men?
If you don't wear perfume/cologne, what is your favorite body scent/fragrance....(oils, lotions, body sprays, etc;,)

[shnen]

I still can't get over preferred stock and drakkar on certain guys...

and I love Adidas for women, and 360 degrees...:)

~~~ and my lavander body spray! :heartthro

[Myst]

Vanilla or tangerine :D

[Sora]

Oooh, I love the smell of frankensence oil. But I have the best purfume my friend made for me to aide relaxation, I think it's a blend of bergamont, clary sage and rosewood. Mmm...

[Azure]

I wear a lot of fragrances by Demeter. My favorite is called Dirt.

[cherrywind]

I really like Leap from the Body Shop for perfumes.
I also like (for lotions and those sorts of things) Satsuma, also from the Body Shop.
I also really really like mint smells for just about anything else. And sandlewood.

[Flaire-FireStar]

BonneBelle Emotion (thingies) in Shy!! :heartthro
Oh..and Calgon's Hawaiian Ginger! :mmm:

[Sora]

You know what I also like? Mango shampoo. It smells so good I get quite close to drinking the bottle.

[Gwyn]

For perfumes I like Happy and Cool Water. I like Cool Water for men also.

As far as fragrance, I just have so many favorites. Lavender and white lilac are wonderful.

[Gwyn]

Sora, I know the feeling! I used to have a shampoo with a citrus scent that just made me want to chug it.

[Sora]

Yeah, but don't. It's like vanilla :) Smells like euphoria but tastes so bad your tongue won't ever, ever speak to you again.

[Gwyn]

Lol, I wouldn't doubt it. I never did actually taste it.....but I've tasted soap.....like to make me gag.

[Flaire-FireStar]

:mmm: Satsuma is reeeeal nice too!

[Psyche Ague]

CK1, Sunny Skies, Thinking of You (by Amy Brown) is my latest favorite, Sweet Temptation, Truth, Contradiction, Sunflowers, White Linen Breeze, Tommy Girl, and many more. I like breezy, light scents.

[Arduinna]

Beautiful and True Love by Estee Lauder, and Escentual parfum by Bare Escentuals.

[Sowelu]

Okayyyy....(looks on perfume shelf), I am a perfume addict, so, let me see...........

If one of my friends (when I had friends before I moved) would come over, they'd head for my room to spray on my perfumes.

:D :p

[Flaire-FireStar]

:lol: That's quite a list, Jade!

[Sowelu]

I know:eek: and that didn't even count my less-expensive perfumes:eek: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Actually, I told myself I wasn't going to buy anymore of the expensive stuff til I use up some of the stuff me already has.:D


Besides, ya gotta have a different perfume for every mood........

No?

Oh well, I tried:lol: :lol:

[Azure]

I agree with you. And Green Tea is a fragrance I wear to work when I'm waitressing (ah, the inevitable actor sideline) - I find it's great fr keeping apositive attitude.

[Sowelu]

I agree Azure!!! Great summer scent!:D :) :D

I had to cut back too...:bug: Don't use all the stuff I have now anyway!

[AradiaSupernova]

my favorite is patchouli oil. I can't use it all that often. It makes my Mom and Dad want to gag.lol :) But its that unmistakeable aroma that gets me :)

[Sowelu]

Yep! Anyone can always spot a person wearing patchouli:D

[Flaire-FireStar]

:huh: Don't think I've ever smelled patchouli

[buttercup]

My favorite scents are Issy Miyake and my own combination of Jasmine and Vanilla.

[Sowelu]

Mmmmm! Jasmine and Vanilla....have to try that sometime:D

[buttercup]

It's a 3/4 jasmine 1/4 vanilla mix. I used to get it through Garden Botanika before they went exclusively online (at least up here in Washington State). I purchased five vials of it before they closed and am not sure yet where I'll be getting it when I run out.

[Sowelu]

I will definately try that. Thanks! Do you use pure 100% essential oils??

[buttercup]

I prefer to.

[SpikesPet5150]

My favorite perfumes are Happy and Jovan White Musk.

On guys, I like Aspen and Obsession.

And my favorite body spray is this stuff I got from Walmart.. Vanilla Pear. Yummmmmmm
~Bree

[AradiaSupernova]

patchouli is...umm..well...it smells like burning leaves :) Its great stuff though! patchouli incense helps me relax and/or meditate(along with sandalwood and lavendar)

[Sowelu]

I like a good strongly scented patchouli candle...ususally I make it myself:)

[Azure]

I had an ex who used to burn patcholi candles in his bedroom all the time. I can't smell a patcholi candle without thinking of Kyle. . . At least, that one isn't a bad thing. Just a long over one :)

[Neptune]

Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea

[Kalosi]

I love Fresh Patchouli by Jovan an White Musk Fantasy by Parfum de Couer. (My lifemate loves them too - I get great results!!)

For guy's smells, well, there's no beating a fresh shower smell. That clean smell is really great!

[Mnemosyne]

I agree Kalosi; I love when a man has a nice fresh, clean smell.

I could never get into patchouli. My friend will only wear patchouli, so when I smell that scent, I immediately think of her. I love how smells remind us of events or people in our lives.

Like other people, I love Elizabeth Arden's Green Tea. If I wear perfume, I either wear that one or Lancome's Oui. Lately, perfume has been bothering me, so I am leaving all my other bottles alone for the moment.

Usually, I wear vanilla scented lotion or freesia scented lotion. The smell of vanilla and freesia are definitely my favorite.

[Azure]

I love layering fragrance on scented lotion too. . . Green Tea combines well with lots of stuff - especially citrusy stuff.

[Sowelu]

Yah!:D :thumbsup:

[Neptune]

The citrus part is what I love about the Green Tea

[Annika]

Well, maybe not an actual observation since it's related to smell and I always consider an observation to be something I see.

Anyway, when the girl your roommate is dating wears a considerable amount of patchouli and your roommate is impressing her with homeade spaghetti sauce (I'm sure the spaghetti came with the sauce), the aromas do NOT mix well together.

As for my favorite scents, I love Green Tea. And a guy wearing just the right amount of Drakkar is very nice to be near.

Annika

[Sowelu]

Peoples here gots good taste!:wave:

Once again, thanks for another good tip, Azure.

What is up with so many of us on this community liking Green Tea?

[Danustouch]

On men, either Drakkar (i know..old and corny..but..ahhhhhhh), Sandalwood, or Patchouli.

For myself, I use Body Shoppe perfume oils, Vanilla, Fuzzy Peach, or Cucumber (believe it or not..it's just a nice, clean, light scent..which is very nice).

I also use some hand blended perfumes that I got at King Richards Faire, I couldn't even tell you what scents were in them, because I don't know anymore..lol.

I used to love Odyssee from Avon...

and I also sometimes use Rose Perfume Oil, or Lilac Perfume Oil, and right now, am using Ginger Lotus (don't know who makes it).

[Sowelu]

I start with a shower gel....something like grapefruit scented (great in the summer time)

Put on a body lotion of similar scent

Dust on some body powder of similar scent

Then top it off with a light mist of Green Tea


Did you know there are also Iced Tea and Spiced Tea out now by Elizabeth Arden???:mmm:

[Neptune]

My man wears Eterity OOH MY GOD I LOVE IT

[Azure]

You know, I find fresh sweat kind of an appealing scent on a guy. Now, he has to have been clean to begin with, but then coming in from jogging or something with the adrenaline flowing a bit. . .

Or maybe it's just me.

[cherrywind]

I agree Azure, it must be those pheramones!
I don't like any sort of cologne on a guy, either they really bother my nose and make me sneeze, or they just stink.
What I do like is the smell of "ocean surf" speed stick deoderant. Of course, I might be a bit biased because that's what my boyfriend wears ;).

[Azure]

I had an ex who used to swim in cologne. Usually CK, but whatever he thought was trendy. I still really like scents on men, but, as with women, there is a need for subtleness.

And I hate guys who pour on the scent rather than shower. EEEwwwwwww.

[Danustouch]

Ugh..I SO agree with that Azure. Nothing is more disgusting. It smells like a sweaty gym sock, just being covered up by rubbing alchohol when they do that.

Another GREAT guy scent..don't know if it's still around..but

Abercrombie and Fitch!

[Azure]

;) Pretty sure it is.

You're right, it is nice.

[Mythrel]

for me, I wear 2 primarily...

expensive: Escape from Calvin Klein
cheap: Adidas Moves...walmart special!!!

I also like Very Sexy from Victoria Secrets (it's a men's cologne)

[shnen]

Adidas rocks! *sniffs Mythrel* :D

[Mythrel]

thankies...I happen to be wearing some right now!! ;)

[Flaire-FireStar]

*insta-cling* :D *sniffsniff* Luuuuurve that stuff too

[Armitage]

For myself, I like rosemary or sandalwood oil, sometimes patchouli; there're very few perfumes I can stand for long, though I like Love's Rain Scent. Anything green, sharp, and herbal or mildly dark and musky.
I like pretty much anything for guys, used *in moderation* on them. It scary when they drive by and you can smell cologne. That happened earlier tonight.

[Azure]

Just discovered the perfum market on ebay. i am doomed.

[WandererInGray]

*chuckles*

For moderately expensive, I like Aveda's Equipoise Chakra III scent and a perfume by Aroma M called hana-cha

Recently though, the only thing I've been wearing is a dab of Frankenscense and Myrrh oil. I like the spiciness of it, I think.

*gags* Can't stand the smell of patchouli, it reminds my of my college years and unwashed potheads who thought it covered up the other smells.
To this day I can't smell the stuff without also having my brain dreg up pot and dirty socks. :D

[WitchJezebel]

Oh cripes, here we go:

Happy - Clinique
Hypnotic Poison - Christian Dior
Wrappings - Clinique

From Victoria's Secret - Amber something or other, Sweet Sensations, and the Pear one.

Spring Fever - Origins

Pure Joy, Pure Calm and Pure Sensuality

Oils I wear: Patchouli, Sandalwood, Orange Blossom, Violet, Lavendar, Rain, Bergamot, Cinnamon.

I know there are others, but I'm not at home so I can't check :D

As for men... I prefer my men scentless or something EXTREMELY faint and subtle...

[Bainidhe Dub]

on a man than Stetson. omg I can't even go there how much I love it. *grins with evil thoughts in her head* Oh why can't it be Friday?

For me though it's Coolwater or Lady Stetson. Otherwise I go with this heavenly lavender lotion and body spray combo I got for my birthday

[Ahautenites]

Drakkar on guys. (I have no taste, but I know what I like.)


For myself I like Calgon's White Musk and Lilac, too. But my new favorite scent is Blue Musk perfume oil. Got some at a metaphysical fair and I absolutely love it.

[Trinity Faith]

Perfume: Hugo Boss for women and Bonnie Bell Emotions in "Flirty".
Cologne: Hugo Boss for men
Shampoo scent: The new dove shampoo line. I love the smell of the shampoo. :)
General scents: Patchouli, sandalwood, lilacs, lavendar/chamomile and vanilla.

:eek: :eek: you just reminded me....i broke my friends Hugo Boss Perfume after she bought it brand new. I've got to buy some more!!! :p

[TornadoAli]

YUM I wear Burbery's for Men (despite the fact that I'm a woman). I love it, and no one ever recognizes it as a man's cologne!! ;-)

[April]

I really like Satsuma from the body shop.

[adament]

still can't get enought of calvin kleins C-K1



ada

[Foxbarking]

I wear a fragance called Black Ice. I love it and you can only get it at the H2O stores. My absolute favorite.

[Nissala]

Thats easy - Todd Oldeham perfume - for women
Paul Sebastian - for men
and a mixture of aphrodesia and sandlewood oil when I can't get Todd Oldeham:)

[AstraSkye]

I'd pick someone's natural body scent over any artificial scent any day - granted they shower once in a while, of course. I don't even use deodorant! The closest I come to artificial scents - except for my shower gel, which has a very soft and neutral smell - is the lotion I sometimes use on my feet, hands, and face, but it contains very little perfume - if any - and doesn't really count, IMO.

I'm mad sensitive to strong perfume-like smells - we were in the mall the other day and tried to found a nice bathing oil. After smelling three bottles (lavender (HATE!!!), eucalyptus, and ylang ylang), my eyes were burning. We ended up with a bottle of oil very much like my shower gel (same brand even - the mall's own) - soft and neutral.

Not to mention the bathroom at home... Don't get me started! My mom claims to be sensitive to strong smells too, yet the bathroom smells perfume factory after she's been there...

[MidnightSun]

I don't use perfume but I have a body spray. It's Fantasy Fragrance I think..it's Pear. It's the best stuff :)

[WitchJezebel]

I like those Fantasy fragrances as well - every Spring they sell the small trial size bottles for about $1.99 and I stock up for the summer!!

[WynnJera]

There is a store called Fruit and Passions here in Edmonton and I am just a silly fruity girl ... fruit bath bombs / gels / oil and everything they carry comes in a line of scents and then they carry it in a line of options ... body milk / soap / oil / bubble bath / and last but not least perfume .... I love feild berries and fruits of the island ..... be careful if you smell fruit as it may be me ... lol ...

[Emerald Oak]

The best smell ever? My girlfriend's skin/hair :D

[Garnet]

Anything lilac....I haunt shops for lilac scented stuff.

I have essential oils & sometimes mix my own scent to mirror how I'm feeling (or wish I were feeling). I like oil of myrrh, especially for days when i expect people to irritate me.

[vespertine]

Truth- CK. mmmmmmmmmmm

[Skye]

I really don't like many perfumes, I nor my husband wear them much...fresh clean body scent is usually the best.

I do like the scent of Anne Cline 2 for women...but they don't make it any more, so...
Gloria Vanderbilt is the scent I use on occassion.

For men I really love, Grey Flannel by Geoffery Beene, it has a very masculin scent that is not overbearing or sweet.

[Xentor]

I found my body to smell most pleasantly with Hugo Boss for men. But I use it seldomly, most of the time I just shower and walk around smelling like myself.

[Morrighana]

This is kind-of surprising, but my fav perfumes (and cologne I like smelling on guys) haven't even been mentioned here!

I alternate wearing two Versace perfumes, Red Jeans (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P4113&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=S22222) and Metal Jeans (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P6988&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=S22222) , depending on my mood. They highlight (to me, anyway), different facets of my personality that I want to bring out that day.

On men, I just can't get over Calvin Klein's Crave (http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P36737&shouldPaginate=true&categoryId=S33333) . It's just sooooooo good. :mmm:

[Azure]

Bath and Body Works has a new "Love" aromatherapy scent - Vanilla and Jasmine - which I just got in shampoo, which really makes my hair smell brilliant. I also got it in a linen spray for sheets and pillowcases ;)

[Rævyn Cigány]

Monoï by Yves Rocher

[Neptune]

New scent ... Clinique Happy Heart, got it for my birthday LOOOOOVE IT

[~ Monk ~]

*re-reviving the thread*

Since we're talking about wading in colognes...:D

My favorites are Cool Water, Happy for men and Paradise.

Anyone else?

[Pesha]

Used to ne Georgio of Beverly Hilss and then I found one by Avon which I now love called Pink Suede. I alos have loved Topaz by Avon. When I was in high school we all used Canoe by Dana.

BB
DS.

[Karma Chameleon]

So, what's your favorite perfume ladies?
Favorite cologne men?
If you don't wear perfume/cologne, what is your favorite body scent/fragrance....(oils, lotions, body sprays, etc;,)


How about Deep Woods Off? :ahhhh:


Just kidding, but there are too many bugs here! :ugh:

I'm for the most part allergic to perfumes and colognes. I hate it when people douse themselves in the stuff instead of actaully taking a bath. :blech: Disgusting!

I reckon my favorite scent would be the smell of clean clothes when dryed with a snuggle fabric softener.

[~BEBZ~]

As a rule I hate musk and vanilla but my signature scent is
Jovan White Musk
I also like Sugar Vanilla Fantasy by Body Fantasies
and their Fresh White Musk Fantasy
and the melon one.
Oh, and White Chantilly
I used to wear Malibu but not anymore
I have a really strange body chemistry and those are the only ones that smell good on me.



For guys I like
Totally Ripped Abs
Drakkar Noir
Adidas Dynamic Pulse
Aqua Velva Ice Sport

[Lewen]

I love Juniper breeze by bath and body works. :)

[Sowelu]

Ahhh CRAP!!! I replied to this thread not realising that it isn't in the right area/section....booooyyyyyy am I gonna get it!

Oh yeah? I used to wear Malibu a loooooonnng time ago...that scent brings back memories!
I like the Sugar Vanilla Fantasy one too!!! I just got the cotton candy one yesterday for mothers day.

[BrigidMoon]

I think I may have already answered this but... I wear Red.

[AutumnWitchie]

I wear Goddess by Avon. Sometimes, Coty's Elemental Grass

[Sowelu]

I think I may have already answered this but... I wear Red.
By Giorgio? Charlie?

[Athena-Nadine]

At the moment I wear Clinique's "Happy to Be."

[BrigidMoon]

By Giorgio? Charlie?

Giorgio. It smells wonderful!

[Faeawyn]

For men...Baldessarini by Hugo Boss is an amazing fragrance...as well as Polo Blue. My husband wears both and I just drool when he does.

For me...Givenchy Irresistable and Dolce and Gabbana's Light Blue

[ravenmyst]

if I wear anything its a dab of essential oils, usually frankinscence, myrrh, sandalwood mixed with a dot of floral, like jasmine or rose. whatever my mood dictates

[FlyingBear]

I wear an amber resin oil that's so rich and earthy I'm pratically wearing a tree. Seabhac wears this goregous oil called Tree of Life, by a gent who makes his own oils out in SF. Pretty much all the commerical stuff is just too fake smelling for me.

[melantha rose]

Commercial perfume is White Diamonds for women. Drakkar Noire for men. Natural scent is rosemary essential oil.

[Philbo]

Acqua di Gio for me.

[blueangel]

Currently crazy about Ghost original although I am eagerly awaiting the new summer fragrance - I'm hoping to buy it when I go through Duty Free on Saturday! Yipee!!!

[skyler]

My favorite perfume right now is Intense by Hugo Boss.
As for cologne, I love smelling Diavolo by Antonio Banderas on men. _cloud9_

[whitewater]

i don't waer perfume, i just put Bath and Body Works lotion on every morning. my fav scent is cucumber melon.

i do, however, collect perfume adds that you lift and smell, for some reason... :weirdsmil

[Limey]

The best perfume I've ever had is Gloria by Cacherel. I got so many comments when I wore it but I've never seen it since. On men I'm a sucker for Joop, the last 3 b/f's all wore it. The smells i love in general are petrol and new carpets. Whenever iget a new carpet I have to crawl around the floor sniffing it.

[AuroraSilvermist]

I'm now totally hooked on Bath & Body Works and their Coconut Lime Verbena body spray, lotion and shower gel. For a commercial product, it really contains a lot of natural ingredients, which I like. And the smell is delicious!

Perfume? I'm actually drawn to the cheap stuff. I like Sand & Sable. I've liked it ever since I was a teenager, and I still wear it 20-some years later.

Natural scents/Essential oils: Bergamot! Neroli, lemon verbena, lavender, sweet orange, lime and other citrus-y scents.

Mmmmm anything coconut scented I love!!! Michael Kors perfume reminds me alot of Sand & Sable.

[Gracecat]

BPAL BPAL BPAL BPAL!!

Preferrably Cheshire Cat, Juliet or Lampades.

[Bainidhe Dub]

*chants with Gracie*

BPALBPALBPAL!! *giggles*

I would recommend Hell's Belle, Wicked, Darkness, O, Jezebel, Tempest, Fallen, Blood and Blood Rose.

OH! LOUP GAROU FOR MEN!! *dies*

[Brielle LaLune]

Perfumes and colognes typically give me mad headaches... I looooves essential oils though! My faves are citrusy scents (satsuma in particular) as well as sandalwood and patchouli. (Yahyah...dirty hippie, i know! :bigredgri)

[LadyAutumnCat]

Vanilla oil

[Bainidhe Dub]

Pretty much all the commerical stuff is just too fake smelling for me.
you know, my favorite used to be Cool Water.. but since I started buying stuff from BPAL, I've noticed even that smells just.. cheap and yucky to me, very fake.

for those who are wondering, BPAL is Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs and their website is www.blackphoenixalchemylab.com

[Avalon]

My perfume is "Lavendertheraphy" from the Healing Garden. Smells amazing and is only $5 a pop, too. :smile:

[Necrosapien]

Oooh! I had to post here. Okay, so I'm not a girl but I do have a favorite body fragrance...my girlfriend has it and it drives me insane! It's called Love Spell by Victoria Secret. I don't know what it is about that smell but :heybaby:

[EponaCapaill]

I wear Lauren, just plain Lauren, not all the new scents he keeps putting out. I only wear it when I go out though. Daily I like the Aveeno stress relief body wash and lotion. It has camomille, lavender and ylang ylang. Smells great!

[Teresa]

I love Lavender and Passion Flower!
