What scent to you prefer in your lipstick/gloss? Vanilla? Fruity? Perfume-y?

.

I like vanilla the most, from what I’ve smelled. It’s safe, not too much, and pleasant overall.

  1. Vanilla and Berries!!! Melon could be a hit too!!! LOL

  2. Miss_M says:

    I’m a sucker when it comes to vanilla scented products so I prefer the vanilla scent of MAC lipsticks and glosses.

    I don’t really like fruity scented (like orange or watermelon) lip products.

  3. Anitacska says:

    Vanilla mostly, but fruity’s okay too.

  4. The vanilla scent in he mac lip products is my favourite!

  5. I am over thinking this but I love the way Clinique’s Air kiss gloss smells. I buy it because it smells like some Aziza gloss I had when I was 13. It’s not fruity or vanilla.

    I like just about any scent in gloss except the perfume-y ones. I’m thinking Clarins or Guerlain smell a bit old for my tastes.

    MAC’s Vanilla.. It’s JUST enough :)

  7. Natalie says:

    Agreed. Vanilla.

  8. Sylvie says:

    I’m fine with MAC’s vanilla. I don’t know if anyone else’s noticed, but chromeglasses were caramel-scented (I think). I also used to like Origin’s mint scent in its liquid lip colour but my lips itched after a month or two of wear (the scent had started to go wrong and I guess it was time to throw it out).

  9. Kell says:

    The only scent I like in a lipstick is MAC’s vanilla smell… it’s light enough that it doesn’t bug me. Other than that, I always prefer that there is NO scent.

  10. Jennifer says:

    Anything light sweet and natural mostly. However for lipglosses like Diorkiss I’m up for food scents .

  11. Kat says:

    Peppermint. It’s nice and fresh, I don’t like sugary sweet scents near my face – it always makes me feel overindulgent, which is a feeling I prefer to reserve for actual overindulgence of the calorie- and sugar containing kind.

  12. Adriana says:

    I prefer Fruity!
    Vainilla is a little bit boring for me

    hahaha!!

  13. I like chocolate, or vanilla. I’m fine with most.

  14. Erica says:

    Mint!! I love lip products that have a minty smell/taste to them. I wish more high end lip products had this sort of scent. Otherwise I like vanilla and other foody/candy flavored sorts of scents in lip products as long as they are not really strong. I *hate* putting anything on my lips though that smells like roses or some other floral/perfume-y scent, Anna Sui I’m looking at your here.

  15. missy crace says:

    great giveaway I like them all

  16. cloudburst says:

    Mint – it’s clean, fresh & not too sweet.

  17. Christy says:

    Light sweet scents are always best for me. Either fruit or candy.

  18. Proximity says:

    Whatever Dior puts in their Creme de Gloss … apparently a “refreshing white tea fragrance”.
    I also like citrus … I have Philosophy’s Let Live Let Love Lime, and I love it, I just wish it was a little less sticky.

  19. frini says:

    Vanilla,but I like the taste of Kiss Kiss lipstick also.
    I cannot go with YSL mango taste and Dior’s.

  20. Marina says:

    I prefer them non-scented. Too many products are too heavily scented so i can’t use them (like YSL Golden Gloss, yuck)!

  21. Rachel says:

    Non-scented!! But I can tolerate light vanilla.

  22. amy says:

    I like vanilla, strawberry, grape and watermelon but I dont like perfume smells in my lip products.

  23. Sarah M says:

    Coconut, Mint and Vanilla scents are my favourites. Ill normally get a lipstick or lipgloss based on the colour so if they dont have the best fragrance Ill still put up with them somehow. I do however prefer for them not to be too fruity.

  24. Ashley says:

    I prefer no scent tbh!
    Sometimes the fragrance comes out so.. fragrance-y and fake, which makes it difficult to stand.
    If I had to pick one type of scent I can handle most though, it would be fruit scents. Im not fond of flowery smells, I like woodsy smells though, or the smell of spices. Basically, anything that smells natural, light, not too saturated.
    Vanilla scents can make me sick sometimes.

  25. Missy says:

    I like that vanilla-cake like smell, its sooo yummy I wanna bite my lips lol and boys love it and they like fruity scents too but I perfer the vanilla/cake scent.

  26. Michele says:

    I prefer non-scented but fruity ones are usually OK. I cant stand perfume scents in lipstick — have bought those and have to toss as they make me ill.

  27. rose says:

    Rose!! vanilla is boring but just ok

  28. Valerie says:

    Anna Sui lipstick smell nice (I think it is tea green tea scent)
    As much as I like Guerlain product their lipgloss cupcake scent through me a little off :(

  29. Tina says:

    nothing flowery! yuck! I like chocolate, vanilla, fruity.

  30. Heather says:

    I like vanilla and fruity!!

  31. Sheila says:

    I love rose scents! That is why one of my favourite lip products come on Anna Sui, even though their products are the best…

  32. Heatherette says:

    Vanilla. I love the scent of Mac lipstick and lipgloss

  33. Maria says:

    I can’t stand YSL glosses because they have such a perfume scent. I like MAC’s cremesheen gloss smell. I feel like it’s a different variation of their regular vanilla. lol.

  34. Charlene Daalling says:

    vanilla or strawberry

  35. Dorie says:

    I prefer them to be fragrance free, but I’m really happy if I stumble across something honey-scented.

  36. Paige says:

    The Maybelline Moisture Extreme have the best smell. I want to eat them they smell so delicious. Like watermelon.

  37. Adriana says:

    i bought a givenchy gloss and it smells pretty good, but… is so sweet… it’s boring

  38. Ruth says:

    Vanilla & Floral

  39. CrystalS says:

    Vanilla!
    Love Mac Vanilla..

  40. Bridgette says:

    Fruity scents are number 1 for me. Like YSL’s Golden Gloss. Favorite scent of lipgloss. I do like MAC’s Vanilla scent in there lipglasses and lipstick. Peppermint is okay with me.

  41. cmferrets says:

    i hate berrry or fruity scents – like estee lauder ! ewwwwww! i hate the smells and the taste- it grosses me out- like im gonna hurl!
    i also dont like perfume rose scents /tastes- liker lancome or loreall.
    the ones i prefer and dont mind are a light but not too strond scent/tste like macs l/s and l/g. they are vanilla!
    i also rediscovered origins l/s and l/g. they smell and taste like chocolate mint – mmmmmmmm!=)
    i dont like stuff too sweet or else i cant keep my mind on anything else.
    some other brands could make their items not soo plasticky too !

  42. penny says:

    MACs vanilla!

  43. Lorna says:

    i like MAC’s scent.

    i can handle fruit scents if they are not too sweet or cheap smelling. i just got a rimmel lipstick and it smelled like cherry cough syrup. i threw it away and i hate doing that…

  44. Vale says:

    Anything that has to do with food! I simply think is horrible, after just have washed my teeth, to put on my lips something which smells like food! :-(

  45. Trixie says:

    I like fruity, but more like a raspberry or strawberry, not so much a tropical like pineapple or mango type smell. Also not crazy about a perfume type smell in a lip product, though I do like L’Oreal’s smell – it is very faint to me. I find that unscented lippies smell like paste or playdough, so I would rather have a nice light smell to counter that.

  46. Heather says:

    I love something floral/perfumey… it reminds me of my first lipstick when i was young!
