Estee Lauder (Bronze Goddess)… I bathe in this stuff all year long. I live in the tropics. I buy the oil version of this. It’s awesome…
For cheaper alternatives, I use Bath & Body Works’s coconut lime verbana spray. i love it to death.
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Yay, at least I have the oil version, too :D

mat; by masakï matsushïma is my summer favorite! light and sophisticated with a slight oriental touch. one of few summery perfumes that doesn´t smell like candy on me.
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Nice! I need to check this out!

I have to use just a tiny, tiny amount, because it can get overpowering on me, but I LOVE Estée Lauder “Beyond Paradise” for summer. Despite the concentration of scent, it’s lighter and fruitier than what I normally wear (I lean toward musk, partly because my husband loves it so much), and it just makes me feel like going out in the sun and having a great time!
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Nice! Seems like Estee Lauder has a few sumemr favorites :)

Flowerbomb by Victor & Rolf

Burberry summer!

Ohh! I’m in love with Burberry the Beat right now. I’ll have to check out summer!

Ok, don’t roll your eyes but Paris Hiltons’ ” Paris ” perfume is amazing, I am obsessed with this stuff! I have 2 bottles in my room, one in my car, & a travel size one in my purse. Everyone always compliments me on my perfume ( especially guys ) & everyone always thinks Im kidding when I say its Paris Hilton! It’s pretty affordable & it’s great! Def. give it a try before you judge it!
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I have heard raves about this one :) I’m really glad it’s worked out so well for you!!
Aleks

I love Estée Lauder’s Emerald Dream. It’s very fresh and summery and the packaging is cute, too!
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Another Estee Lauder pick! :) Will put it on the list. I need to spend a few days in the perfume section of Sephora, I think!

I am using Marc Jacobs Daisy, But I also like D&G Light blue and Elizabeth Arden Mediterranean
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Nice! I’ve heard a lot of good things about Daisy.

DKNY Be Delicious or the Body Shop’s perfume oil in Satsuma – neither last super long but they both smell really fruity and summery.
Rabi
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I have to second this one for the Body Shop fragrance in Satsuma! I love this fragrance and love wearing the Body butter underneath the perfume oil.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Ohh, love layering of scents!
Beverly Vinson
Saturday, May 24, 2008
DKNY BE Delicious as well (the red and green both are great!), but my all time favorite year round is Inis. An Irish unisex scent…..MMMMM….it smells like the ocean….to bad I am out of it though :(.
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I will have to see if I can track down Inis to take a sniff!
valentina

Bronze Goddess EL, Youth Dew Amber Nude EL, Songes Annick Goutal, Eau de Naphè and Aloha Tiarè Comptoir Sud Pacifique ;-)
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Oh, Bronze Goddess is night! I have the oil!
valentina
Saturday, May 24, 2008
If you love Bronze Goddess you should take a sniff of Comptoir Sud Pacifique too! They are perfect for summer! I don’t know if it’s easy to find them outside Europe (I live in Italy) but if you have a chance to smell them, do it!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Thanks for the tip, Valentina! I will try!

I was all over Donna Karen Cashmere Mist, but I want to get L L.A.M.B., it smelt soo good when I sprayed it.
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I haven’t smelled it yet, will have to do so…
Mimi
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I recently got Marc Jacobs Daisy and it’s just amazing! It smells lovely and it’s just a great summer scent
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Ahhh, everybody raves about this!
Terry
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I don’t like using perfume in summer, but when I want to use one, it is always Shiseido ‘Relaxing Fragrance’. I’ve been using it for years and I still think it’s the best spring/summer perfume ever.
Christine
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Do you use any scents in the summer, Terry, or do you just prefer to go scent-free?
claudine
Monday, May 26, 2008
oh i love this too its a really nice scent i even spray it on my pillows before i go to bed
Ummilkhair
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Right now I’m so loving Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Nina by Nina Ricci, Juicy Couture, Live Luxe by Jennifer Lopez, Rock N Rose by Valentino. And I’m still faithful to my Paris Hilton!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Ohh, very nice picks!
Courtney
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Comptoir Sud Pacifique Vanille Abricot is my current summer scent, but if i can get my hands on it Lili perfumes (a company based out of Bermuda) makes the most amazing summery scents (i bought one when i was there a few years ago, might have to order another online!). my fave is Frangipanni, but Coral and Passion Flower are really nice too.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Oh, nice! I wonder if Lili perfumes are available anywhere else but Bermuda…
Melissa
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I love Chanel Chance eau fraiche (the green one)!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Good choice, Melissa!
Molly
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I absolutely love Paradise by Alfred Sung and I don’t remember the name but it’s a Issey Miyake product and I get compliments from my bf and my co-workers ^_^
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Hey Molly!
Interesting, I will have to look for those!
lisa
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Dkny red delicious.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Ohh, yum, Lisa!

Marc Jacobs Cucumber is my everyday scent. I change it up sometimes by wearing NARS Monoi body oil. It’s super summery – almost beachy.
In the summer evenings I wear Ange ou Demon by Givenchy. It’s light but sexy. I love it.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Nice! Is that a splash, Shefali? I need me some MJ stat!

Lancôme Hypnose Parfum :)
Kharina
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Lately Hypnose has been my perfume of choice, and I love it too!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Looks like this is a fave!
Christine

Ohh, classy, Lala!

I’m in love with Wrapped with Love by Hillary Duff….raspberries, vanilla, white choclate mousse, honey dew,and delicate floral notes…. its lite and amazing!!! I work in a hospital and its perfect!!!!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Oh, haven’t tried that one yet! I think I just have “With Love,” hmm!
Manny
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I love ‘Moon sparkle’ from Escada, although it doesn’t last very long. Escada presents a ‘new’ scent every summer, but to me they all smell the same :).
Susanne
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I second Moon Sparkle by Escada. And Eau Pure by Biotherm.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
I haven’t sniffed Eau Pure, must do so!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
That’s a great scent for summer!
Rabi

My favorite summer fragrance is Bobbi Brown’s Beach fragrance. It reminds me of everything about being at the shore, and just really works well with the higher humidity. I also love wearing scented body butters in the summer time, like Satsuma by the Body Shop, or my new favorite, Lime Blossom from Sephora.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Ahh! I have it, too. It’s dead-on for smelling like the beach, but I don’t know if that’s what I want to smell like, lol.
Lydia
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Clinique Happy Heart! But I want to try Bobbi Brown’s beach fragrance because I keep hearing good things about it!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Love that Clinique scent!
Beach is nice, and it really does smell like… the beach, lol!
Vanessa
Saturday, May 24, 2008
This summer I’m wearing Dior Addict Shine! I love it, nice and light, not over powering but doesn’t last really long. I also love The Body Shop Satsuma body lotion.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Oh, awesome! How similar is it to Dior Addict? Is it just lighter?
kobri
Saturday, May 24, 2008
I alternate between DKNY Red Delicious, Bath & Body Works Pink Grapefruit and Jo Malone White Jasmine Mint. I wanted to love Daisy because everyone raves, but it was way too strong on me, my eyes were watering and I got a headache.
Zainy
Sunday, May 25, 2008
Oh im sad Daisy does’nt works for u.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Wow, I’m surprised to hear someone NOT like Daisy! It’s too bad that it gave you such a bad reaction!
Cristina
Saturday, May 24, 2008
Eternity Moment Summer, because it feels so light!
I may be too old for this, but I use Mary Kate and Ashley in Pink Grapefuit :)) No one could tell it’s a MK & Ashley fragrance.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Awesome, Cristina!
lol, how cute!! I haven’t smelled it, so I couldn’t judge it.
janet

Pink Jasmine by Fresh is dreamy but so is Sugar Lychee when your feelin a bit sweeter, actually I love almost all the Fresh fragrances!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Fresh has some great scents!
Bianca
Sunday, May 25, 2008
Happy In Bloom by Clinique. It’s so fresh and femenine. I just love it. Also Carolina Herrera CH it’s a fresh but sexy scent.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
I agree, Happy in Bloom is a great scent, Bianca!
Jessika
Sunday, May 25, 2008
i use armani white all year round, day or night! but daisy seems popular so i mite give it a try!
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Oh, awesome! It’s great that you have such a universal perfume choice :)
claudine
Sunday, May 25, 2008
Paris by Paris Hilton (guys really love it and me too haha)
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
I’ve heard guys love this too! How funny!

I have tons–here are a few: Incanto Charms, CSP Vanille Abricot (I wear this year round though, it’s my HG fragrance!), lots of the Escada LE’s like Sexy Graffiti, Ibiza Hippie, PP, RR; and a fragrance I got at PacSun a couple years ago — Lilu. Very fresh/floral.
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Sounds like you have TONS of fragrances! Are you a perfume addict? ;)
vbie3714
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Sort of–and I hardly use any, because I’m afraid they’ll all be gone! My MIL is more of an addict than I, however. She enables me most of the time! :-)
HeavenLeiBlu
Monday, May 26, 2008
Almost ANY Escada fragrance, which reminds me, I didn’t put any on today! *digs around in my bag for my Sunset Heat mini* Ah, I have it on now and I feel much better, LOL
Christine
Monday, May 26, 2008
Awww, how cute! Yay for minis and purse-sized perfumes!

Recently, my sister and I swapped Chanel perfumes. I gave her Coco for Madamoiselle. So far, I’ve enjoyed it for the warmer days but for the hotter dog days of summer…I’ll have to see how it reacts. One perfume that I’m considering on purchasing again is Presciptives Calyx…I used to wear this all the time during my college days. It’s a bold green scent.
Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
I’ll have to take a sniff at Calyx!
marquita
Monday, May 26, 2008
I really like fruity scents for the summer like all of the Ralph’s or Be Delicous by DKNY, or Light Blue I can go on…
or Escada
Christine
Tuesday, May 27, 2008
Escada is definitely a summer pick for me, too!
Molly

I just fell in love with MAC’s Turquatic!
Christine
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
Awesome! :) I only have one MAC perfume (Stylistics) myself.
Evangelia
Saturday, May 31, 2008
I just bought MAC MV 1 and I think I’ll like it for summer! But my other summer faves are BB beach and all of the Michael Kors “Island” editions (especially Hawaii, love that orange blossom)
Christine
Tuesday, June 3, 2008
Oh nice! BB Beach is a good choice :) Very summery for sure!

Christine
Thursday, June 12, 2008
lol, Shangrila!! Sounds like you have a lot of favorites! It’s too bad the Shiseido one doesn’t work out for you anymore.
