    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.

      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.

      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

    • Christine

      Saturday, May 24, 2008

      That’s a nice summer scent choice!

    Burberry summer!

    • Christine

      Saturday, May 24, 2008

      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!

      I have heard raves about this one :) I’m really glad it’s worked out so well for you!!

    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.

    • trojanchick99

      Saturday, May 24, 2008

      I just bought Daisy. I absolutely love it. And, the bottle is freaking adorable. I <3 Marc Jacobs.

        Arghhh, you guys don’t make it easy to resist!

    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!

  10. 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!

    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…

  13. 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!

  14. 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

  15. 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!

  16. 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…

  17. Melissa

    Saturday, May 24, 2008

    I love Chanel Chance eau fraiche (the green one)!

    • Christine

      Monday, May 26, 2008

      Good choice, Melissa!

    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!

    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

      Monday, May 26, 2008

    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!

  23. 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!

  24. Rabi

    Saturday, May 24, 2008

    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.

  25. 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!

  26. 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?

  27. 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!

  28. 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.

    Sunday, May 25, 2008

    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!

  30. 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!

  31. 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 :)

  32. 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!

  33. vbie3714

    Monday, May 26, 2008

    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! :-)

  34. 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!

  36. 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!

  37. Molly

    I just fell in love with MAC’s Turquatic!

    • Christine

      Wednesday, May 28, 2008

      Awesome! :) I only have one MAC perfume (Stylistics) myself.

  38. 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!

    Wednesday, June 11, 2008

    i’m a perfume addict. lol… i love d&g light blue the mostest! hee hee… but mark makes a perfume called sassy (it also comes in a dry oil) that i absolutely love! i think it is slowly becoming my new favorite. i also love chanel mademoiselle, clinique happy, ooh and baby phat goddess is my wear to work scent. yuuuuuum!

    i used to wear sheseido relaxing fragrance all the time, and i recently stumbled upon a bottle of it and my nose didnt like it anymore :(

    • 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.
