Hi all, Well as I said on another thread, I first was hooked on Shalimar because of the next door neighbor who always smelled so good. From Shalimar I graduated to Opium. Such a complete switch. Then I dabbled with various Musk fragrances when Musk was so popular. My mom kept giving me Estee Lauder products and for awhile to use them up I used Youth Dew although I never really liked that on me personally. I also kept getting White Shoulders as gifts which I had mixed emotions about. I liked Heaven Scent. Do you all remember that one? I dabbled in Vanilla scents for a while and had something like Vanilla Fields that was yummy. Then I discovered Alfred Sung several years ago. I still wear that from time to time and I still get compliments. Too bizarre. It seems to really evoke a reaction w/ my natural chemicals. I also currently wear Realm which is loaded with pheronomes (supposedly) and Dior (yummy). I also like some of the Elizabeth Taylor fragrances although they do seem a little heavy. Believe it or not, I still have an unopened bottle of Opium in my closet from about 5 years ago. Please share your list of fav scents. Best wishes, Karen ------------- That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger or drives you totally insane. :-) |

Exalting by Guerlain & (original) Poison by Christian Dior Those smells contain huge memories for me. They are my signature scents when I am not perfumed with essential oils. ), R '. `p % |

Estee Lauder pleasures, Estee Lauder pleasures intense, and Ralph Lauren Romance are my favorite "classic" fragrances. For something hip, I like Clinique Happy and Ralph Lauren Ralph.

| The only fragrance that gets my husbands gears spinning is 'Wild jasmine' from Avon. I was wearing it when he met me 21 years ago. Unfortunatly they do not make it anymore. Occasionally they carry it on a retro campaign but that is about every 3 years. I have found it on e-bay a few times. !- A `badera -, , @ )20`p )2$-!) !-,- )!4 r $( |

Lili, It must be a man thing. My husband LOVES Imary by Avon. It's what I used to wear when we met and he said I always smelled "powdery" LOL...whatever that means. I tried wearing it again a couple of years ago but couldnt' stand the smell. It smells like old closet to me now! I also do Love Romance by RL. Very classy. |

I mostly wear Estee lauder Pleasures, it's not too heavy, my husband loves it-everybody loves it...my son says I smell fresh, the kids in his class used to say how good I always smelled. I love Channel #5, my mom wore that. Memories. Red & Georgio are good too, but haven't worn them in a long time, since I discovered Pleasures. Romance and Glamorous I borrow from my daughter once in awhile. Speaking of Avon, when my husband and I met 27 years ago, my fragrance was Sweet Honesty. I used to get compliments from strangers on that one. Remember Tempo, Charisma, Field Flowers, Sonnet? Loves baby Soft? He didn't like that one. |

Yes Cora, have to agree. I also forgot the Charlie Blue, My hubby loves that one. LOL...so many memories. My gosh Bluebees, I completely forgot about Sweet Honesty. Perfume and deodorant combo. For me particularly, POISON and Paloma Picasso bring me memories from the 80's when I was in my teens  aaaaaaaaaaaahhhI've tried them again in the past...but too strong for me now. I also forgot to mention Pleasures, love it. It's so fresh. I have a little one I keep in my purse and days like today that ran out of the house without spraying myself, got my little bottle handy. Has anyone tried those sweet lotions? I've been tempted to buy the Burt's Bees Milk & Honey Lotion but haven't yet. I love  the sweet fragrances.

Love's Baby Soft!! I used to wear that all the time...loved that baby powder scent. Is it still available? When i was younger i remember that Sunflowers was a big hit. Wasn't that Estee Lauder?

Hi Whitney, Oh wow...Love's Baby Soft. I just love that. I haven't seen that in awhile though so I am not sure it if it still around. Did you know that scientific evidence shows that the aroma of Honeysuckle is an appetite suppresant and triggers relaxed and happy thoughts in the human brain? Scents are so fascinating. I just love them. Thanks for all the great scent memories all. I am ready to do some serious perfume shopping. :-) Best wishes, Karen !$ Shab` dbe ,%4 b` , 8bp - )%! )-% !$ -,$`r /2 |

Love's Baby Soft will never die. I had a nearly-full bottle for a LONG time. I think my mom finally threw it away. I bet that smelled good! I like White Shoulders, but it's too old lady for me wear. I sample it when I pass it at the dept. store though. It reminds me of my Grandma, but I dunno why, cuz she wears Estee Lauder Beautiful. I really don't wear perfume anymore. Until I found this Coconut Lime at Bath & Body Works last weekend!!! I am hooked on that. HOOKED! Addicted. I used to wear Crabtree & Evelyn Vanilla, but it went sour after a year or less. Grrr. My ex-boyfriend loved it. He thought I smelled that way naturally! The first time he saw it on my dresser, he was so crestfallen. No one ever accused him of being bright. !) ic a p`` -& `b . @p )2 ,-$ ! ! $ -$ ` , |

LOL You are too funny Grover! I gotta agree about the White Shoulders, it reminds me of my Mother-in-Law, that's probably why. That's all she ever wears. I haven't heard of the Crabtree & Evelyn Vanilla, is that the brand name? Where do you buy it? It sounds like something I would like. I love vanilla...

I used to like Chanel No.5 and Coco - the european made ones not the ones with NYC on the bottom label. I then moved to lavender water, and orange flower water which are available in the mexican section of my local walgreens or walmart. Two years ago I really enjoyed using Bare Escentuals perfume (deep yellow/almost orangey), and now I use Origins Gloomaway - which smells a little like grapefruit and citrus. |

Back in High School I used to wear CK Eternity. Then I went to Hugo
Women, and now I've been wearing Burberry Brit, but I think it's too
heavy for springtime. I also wear J-Lo's Still. I also am a big fan of
the Bath & Body work's sprays, my favs. are Moonlight Path and the
new Cherry Blossom.

| Michael by Michael Kors is my fav, it's different than what everyone else my age wears, more grown up maybe. But for everyday wear I love dream anglels heavenly. but my all time fav was made by Victoria's secret. Years ago, they used to make a scent called Tranquill Breezes. It was part of the garden line. I was told it was discontinued because it too closely resembled pear glace and most people prefered pear glace. |

Ok I have a new summertime fav. I usually hate Avon
frangrances. I think that most of them smell cheap. However they just
made a new one under their .Mark label called, Instant Vacation. It
smells fabulous!! This frangrance is ideal for summer and it's only
15$. Check it out

I can't pick a favorite, I have a couple of perfumes I like: Cool Water Ralph Lauren Romance (the guys smells good too) Estee Lauder Dazzling Silver (not Gold) Most of the stores in the mall are good such as Abercrombie, Hollister (both smell alike) and American Eagle - AE Aura. American Eagle's body sprays are good, I get them when they are on sale - good price for a great fragrance. Everyone compliments me on how I smell. (% Aicd tard $ $ ` & `` )2 $(!$ $% ),% 4`` ( |

Well as a teen, I liked Jontue. But by age 22 I was into Eternity, and then Lancomes; Tresor. But for about 10 years now, I sparingly use a body spray, usually by Calgoon, or the Healing Garden. I so badly want to experience a new fragrance! Maybe JLO Glow, or Estee Lauders Pleasures? Not Sure, I'm not a mall rat, but I hear great things about fragrances at Victoria's Secret. Hmm..... I'll have to make a visit over to Victoria's Secret, Plus my Fiance' Steve wants me to buy a sexy teddy, so it may be worth my while, with Valentines and our wedding on the 18th this month, anything goes, right? ;) |

I've just gotten into a new perfume Avon is coming out with, aptly named Surreal. It smells purple. . . as in, it smells like what purple looks like O_o;; . . . Wonder how they managed that? Since I mostly like sweet and/or "food"y scents, it's hard for me to find perfumes I like. Most of the time I could just live in kiddie perfumes or the scents like you get in bath shops that are like strawberry, vanilla, coconut, stuff like that ^_^ . ! % Aaebade d !, ` . 4`` |
