i dont know why,but i love everything from Giorgio Armani. Code,Armani Mania and the older scents,love them all :-)
Melanie
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Agreed with Armani Mania and Armani Code. They are gorgeous scents that aren’t overpowering!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice! I love his scents for men :)
Susanne
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I love the Escada summer perfumes.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice, I loved Moon Sparkle (I think that’s what it is) for summer.
Sarah

I like musks with a little hint of masculinity in them. I think these are really sexy. Every time I wear them I feel like I can take on the world.
Sandy
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
same with me, musky scents are my favourites!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice! I love the scent of cologne, so I need something with some masculine notes in it for most of the time!
Nicole
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Gurelain Insolence, or Gucci Rush. Those two can be worn at any time.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Two classics for sure, Nicole!
Winnie
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
My absolute favourite is Lancome’s So Magic, very pretty floral smell! I also love Chanel Chance En Fraiche. I don’t usually like their perfumes as they seem to mature but this scent is much younger! I definitely go for more summery perfumes!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Hey Winnie1 Nice :) Sounds like some classy choices!
vinna
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
i like really sweet smelling ones… like Miss Dior Cherie or CK Eternity Moment. But for now… i’m soooo in love with my new Marc Jacobs Daisy. Its still sweet but more musky? (sorry i aint good with the perfume lingo :x)
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Got it! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Marc Jacobs perfumes!
bec
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I love sweet, girly scents. Some of my favourites are Anna Sui Bonjour L’Amour, Britney Spears Fantasy and Miss Dior Cherie.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Hey Bec! Nice choices!
Erin
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Oh, I love the Escada summer scents! You can’t wear them everywhere though, almost too young for like an interview or something….
I really like clean citrusy sweet scents, like Burberry Brit and Diesel ++. I also like heavier, more musky stuff like Angel and Angel Innocent is a nice blend of the two. I also have DKNY Red Delicious and Gucci II for different reasons.
On an unrelated note, just bought the fiance Dolce’s Light Blue for men… rawr!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
I agree, sometimes summer scents can be too fun and youthful, lol.
I’m digging Burberry The Beat right now, though.
Love colognes!

Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I’ve never been a perfume person, but I have one that I love and just had to have! Insolence by Guerlain. It’s beautiful and edgy and powerful. :D
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice! I’ve heard that’s a classic :)
Kathleena
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I really love the scent by MAC called Turquatic. It smells so clean:)
Winnie
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I’ve never thought to try the MAC ones, will have to check them out properly next time seeing as they are right on the cashdesk!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
I can’t remember what that smells like at all. Must sniff it next time!
Courtney
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
oh i have a few favorites — Miss Dior Cherie, Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Abricot, Dior Addict Shine, MAC MV2 (i think that’s the one LOL white cap), Cartier Delices………i could go on and on.
ooh, and Marc Jacobs (the original one)
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
I adore Dior Addict :) It’s my favorite perfume of all time!
Vee
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Givenchy “Haute Couture”!!! I loooove it!

Vera Wang
Dolce Gabana The One
Gucci Pink II
Chanel Coco Madamoiselle
Sean John’s Unforgiveable Woman
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008

Shefali
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I’m not sure of the notes in these, but there are a few perfumes out there right now that I like and want:
Marc Jacobs Basil
Marc Jacobs Grapefruit
Marc Jacobs Pear
(these are all splashes really)
Vera Wang Bouquet (I’m dying to buy this next)
What I have:
Benefit’s Maybe Baby
Miss Dior Cherie
Marc Jacobs Cucumber
Stella McCartney
Vera Wang Sheer Veil
Touch by Fred Hayman
Shefali
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
oh I forgot to add that I’m totally wanting Covet by SJP and L for LAMB by Gwen Stefani.
I also own Jo Malone’s Orange Blossom…it smells really pretty and is great for the summer.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
That’s quite a list, Shefali!! A lot of Marc Jacobs scents on your list :P
Looks like Miss Dior Cherie is quite popular around these parts!
Carolina
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I like sweet perfumes. Almost buble-gum-y, but still tastefull. My brand of choice: Escada. I only have Escada perfumes and always buy the latest one. (I currently have 3 Escada perfumes in my bathroom.)
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Ahh, then it’s good that you’ve found Escada! I always find they’re fairly sweet.
Tonee
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
My favorites are:
Floral – Marc Jacobs Perfume (Gardenia)
Citrus – Jo Malone Grapefruit
Aqua – Davidoff Cool Water
Green – Gucci Envy (this has floral notes too but I feel there’s more green than floral)
I don’t like fruity or musk based perfumes. I haven’t tried that many “foody” perfumes – ones that have chocolate or pumpkin pie notes to it. I’m told they are quite amazing but prefer to stick to citrus or green perfume in general.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
I see you’re very well versed in your notes and perfumes :)
I’m not a huge fan of food scents, either! Maybe in a lotion, but not usually even in that for me.
Erin
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I bought Escada Magnetism but I never ever use it. It’s too… well, I don’t know, seems there’s a battery acid smell in it.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Wow, that’s awful, Erin!
Leeann
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
This is going to sound absolutely crazy…but I cannot help what I am attracted to! With Love by Hillary Duff. I know, I know it sounds ridiculous, especially since in a 24-year-old, but the scent is amazing!
It’s the cheapest perfume I own (it cost like $20), but I get more complements on it than anything else I wear!
Smell it before you knock it =)
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
You know, you’re not alone. I like that scent, at least in moderation. I don’t wear it, but I also rarely wear perfume, lol.
Poconos15
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
For day, I normally wear Moschino Funny (clean citrus smell that turns into such a soft scent) or Marc Jacobs. And for night, I’ll wear something slightly heavier like Vera Wang Princess or Prada or D&G’s The Beat…
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Isn’t it amazing how scents will change throughout their wear time?
Leigh
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
My favorite perfume is one that I got in France- it’s called “Belle de Nuit.” According to the parfumerie’s description, it’s a “soft harmony of delicate mirabilis, fresh violet, subtle geranium and fragrant rose, enhanced by a fruity plum note on a background of warm musk.” Loooooove it!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Hey Leigh! Nice, what brand is it by?
Erin
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
The Moschino scent is really called Funny? Ha! “It smells funny.” you’d think there’d be too many jokes.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
LOL, so very true, so very true!
Julia
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I am a huge fan of Givenchy’s Hot Couture. I used to love Davidoff’s Echo, as well.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Looks like I need to do some more sniffing around! So many great scents.
NOUNA
Tuesday, April 8, 2008

Lydia
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I like clinique happy heart! :)
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Ohh, totally classic, Lydia!
Shannon Anicas
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
My favorites are Covet & Lovely By SJP. I also like Este Lauder’s Happy and Love. On occasion I will go to a classic fave such as Glo By JLo. It also will depend on the time of year. In the spring and summer I like something light and clean with a touch of flower to it. In the winter I tend to use body sprays in the vanilla variety with a hint of glitter or shine.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice choices, Shannon :) I’ve heard great things about SJP’s fragrances.
Jessica
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
One of my absolute favorites is Bergamot Citrus by Fresh Index. I’m very particular about scents…most of them gross me out by the end of the day, even if I initially like the way it smells. This is going to sound funny, but I don’t like scents that linger really long. I’d rather it just fade away after a few hours. Bergamot Citrus is fresh and it smells a bit creamy on me, which I like, and best of all, I don’t feel nauseous (sp?) after wearing it.
I’m also a sucker for anything beachy, and I just recently got a few sample bottles of Creed Virgin Island Water (lime, coconut, rum).
Kai perfume oil is another good one, but it sort of falls into the “makes me sick” category if I’m not careful.
I’m really lemming Marc Jacobs Cucumber Splash right now, so anyone who owns it – what do you think of it? I’ve never sniffed it…but I hope it smells clean and watery. I’d hate to plunk down $50 for it to smell sickly sweet and reminiscent of Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon. Blehhh!
Shefali
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Hi Jessica – I own Marc Jacobs Cucumber and I absolutely love it. It’s fresh, clean, and watery and it’s not cheap smelling at ALL. I get compliments on it ALL the time too. The bottle is $65 and it’s totally worth it. I’m not sure but I thought it was limited edition last summer…but if you can get your hands on it…do it!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Hey Jessica! What’s the worst scent you’ve tried… something that maybe is quite popular?
Whit
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I love the original Paris Hilton perfume. I consistently get compliments on it. I’ve gone through three bottles.
I do wear the L.A.M.B. perfume as well. I love it!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
OMG, wow! I’ve never gotten CLOSE to going through a bottle of perfume, lol.
Stacey
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I think I don’t just go for one ‘type’ of smell. My favourite perfumes are Gucci II, Stella, Dior Addict, YSL In Love Again and DKNY Red Delicious. So maybe fruity and oriental? lol.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
lol! I love Dior Addict :D My favorite type of scent is anything similar to that, lol.
dee
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Moschino Cheap and Chic’s I Love Love.
I don’t think they make it anymore :(. It had a summery grapefruit type of smell to it. It smells similar to Dolce & Gabanna’s Light Blue, but I like Moschino’s better.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Awww :( I hate when your favorites get discontinued!
Chloe
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
My absolute favorite is Escada! It doesn’t matter which one, anything they make I love! I especially like the summer fragrances but the only drawback is they never seem to last on me. Does this happen to anyone else? One scent that seems to stick like velcro on me is Chance from Chanel. I would love to wear Armani Code but that one also wears off in under 30 minutes, seems like…. =(
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Seems like we have a lot of Escada fans here :)
Aww, that sucks that it wears off so quickly!
Amy
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I have two favorites…
My daily favorite is Kiehl’s Original Musk. My husband thinks it smells like Colgate Shaving Cream but I don’t care. It makes me feel like I’m in a warm blanket. Needless to say, I do not wear it on our date nights!!
My other favorite is L’eau Par Kenzo. It is clean and fruity with a touch of roundness (?) to it. I can’t explain it exactly–maybe a dry down of vanilla? My husband LOVES it and goes crazy every time I wear it. We can be in opposite ends of the house and he immediately knows when I’ve sprayed it. Before I know it, there he is with his face on my neck.

Meredith
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I tend to rotate my scents according to the season. This past fall/winter all I wore was Black Orchid by Tom Ford. I was obsessed with it. I love amber and incense notes in my winter perfumes. For this spring and summer, I’m wearing Monyette Paris and Fire Island by Bond No. 9. I always tend to gravitate towards tuberose/gardenia scents during the summer, and last year I was all about Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
That’s what I try to do, too, Meredith. I adored Black Orchid!
Kandice
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
My favorites:
Daytime scents: Gucci II, Valentino Rock and Rose, Victoria’s Secret Heavenly, Stella by Stella McCartney
Evening scents: Calvin Klein Euphoria and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
I really want Dolce & Gabbanna The One, Burberry The Beat, and one of the Prada perfumes (can’t think of which one but I know it’s well over $100!!)
I LOVE perfume!!!!!!!!!!! It’s right up there with MAC makeup…I like having an extensive perfume collection and I am super picky!
Sandy
Thursday, April 10, 2008
oh, I just loooove Euphoria and Gucci II :)
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice picks, Sandy!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Hey Kandice!
Nice lists you have there!
How many do you own?
Quynh
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
It changes as I grow older each year and my tastes change. Before I was in love with J Lo Miami Glow, but now I just -cannot- stand it, at all. I also liked VS Heavenly, but now I think it’s a so-so scent.
Nowadays I tend to go for the “musky/tea/leafy/sweet” smells like Burberry London and Lolita Lempicka.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
I agree, I am definitely drawn to different scents as I get older!
ElleBelle
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Original Clinique Happy and I use Frederick Fekkai’s shine spray which has a nice light fragrance. My guy friend once told me that I know how to smell to make a man want me!! SO I guess I got something right…
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice! I remember Happy :) Memories!
Tanya
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
Currently I am wearing Betsy Johnson :)it was part of my Vday gift…my other current scent is Barbie which is a fun light and kinda fruity scent…both are very odd choices for me since I don’t really like girly scents. I am very attracted to dark, spicy and very heavy scents…I have yet to find a womens perfume that I LOVE so the Sephora sales person suggested I try a mens scent to find something that is heavy enough for my taste :) Ah and the search goes on
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Aww, how fun! I’m also attracted to really dark scents, I love cologne in general, lol.
ilovecheese
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
I like nearly all scents, except for Rose and Jasmine based ones!
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
You’re pretty easy to please then!
Sanayhs
Tuesday, April 8, 2008
My favourite scent to use is actually an essential oil blend (lime, bergamot and patchouli). It’s a gorgeous blend that I love dearly, and I’ve never encountered anyone with an allergy to a hint of essential oil, which is good. Some perfumes DESTROY me… so, I have to be careful for myself, and it makes me all the more aware that other people have allergies too. :)
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Interesting! Who makes it?
My dad is allergic to perfumes, and I can be, too!
Zainy
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Hey Sanayhs,

I am really in to Stella in Two by Stella McCartney nowadays.
Marc Jacob’s Blush is really nice and sweet.
Blvgari’s Amythest is very sassy…
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice! I need to take a whiff of these!
jes
Wednesday, April 9, 2008
Clinique’s Happy Heart and Givenchy’s Very Irresistable are my two signature scents, so I guess floral notes are my thing. During the fall, though, I’ll wear Abercrombie’s 8 or Burberry Brit.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Nice picks, Jes!

It’s a good, fun scent!

Thursday, April 10, 2008
Strange, but I absolutely love Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy. My new fav, though, is Moon Sparkle by Escada. Also like Paris Hilton’s Heiress and Ralph Lauren Ralph, Hot, and Wild.
Christine
Friday, April 11, 2008
Moon Sparkle is a fun summer scent!
Jessica
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
I really like Lacoste perfumes. I wear Lacoste pour femme and Lacoste Inspiration. I also like DKNY Be Delicious, Estee Lauder Pleasures, Guerlain Insolence, Marc Jacobs Daisy and many more!
Christine
Wednesday, April 16, 2008
Nice! I have a Lacoste perfume sitting around here somewhere, lol!
