Is Charlie still around? I used to wear that in the '70s. I'm a perfumaholic. I prefer the classics: Chanel #s 5 & 19; Yves St. Laurent: Rive Gauche & Opium. Caron: Bellodgia. I miss the original L'Interdit. The current one smells nothing like the original. Why do they do that? I also like Shalimar, Caleche and Diorissima. I wore L'Air du Temps when I was younger. Also White Shoulders and Anais, Anais. Oh and an old Estee Lauder one - Azure (it's a similar scent to the men's cologne Aramis). I don't care for most of the perfumes that have come out since the 1980s. They smell noxious. I do like Dolce Gabbana's Sicily - a nice warm scent -- and Jo Malone. I'm currently wearing Pomegranite Noir. Ah, I could go on and on about perfume. So glad you asked.
My sister gave my a bottle of Lucky last year since she changes so often and I fell in love with it. Then this past summer I was staying with them and needed some perfume. She had a bottle of Dreams by Mary Kay. It's very light and romantic.
I don't do alot of makeup but I love perfume. I have done many over the years--expensive- Poison was my favorite, but then I smelled Lovely while out with my daughter and hubby bought it for me for Christmas--less expensive range--Sunflowers,LeJardin & Jontue. Lately I have been using Serenity in the Breathe line at Bath & Body Works & an aromatic blend called Egyptian Goddess. Bought my husband Chrome for Xmas and daughter likes Love Spell and Romantic Wish Sprays from Victoria' Secret. She isn't afffected by others wearing scents and has used mine over the years on special occasions but she gets headaches when she wears certain scents. She had to give away a bottle of Britney Spears Curious to her friend that loves it--it gave DD a headache and a rash and in the store she loved a Jasmine Vanilla Aromatherapy Blend but after she took the lotion and scent home and started wearing it--she got headaches from it. I guess that's why everyone has different favorites.
Oooh What a great thread! I too am a perfumaholic...in addition to being addicted to Bath and Body Works!!!! (right now I am loving their Warm Sugar Vanilla)
I love 273 by Fred Hyman... I never fail to get comments on it and it's become my "signature" scent!
I wear "Sung" by Alfred Sung or Chanel #5 and good old Yardley's English Lavender at bedtime. I used to wear some every day but too many people have allergies these days or say they do!) so I go easy on it. Avon Magnolia and Water Flowers body spray are nice and light for daytime too.
I love Jo Malone, my two favourites are wild fig and cassis and the lime, basil and mandarin. They are such clean pure fragrances, a bit pricey, but so gorgeous they are worth it.
I also love Paul Smith and have Paul Smith Extreme and Paul Smith Woman.
I've smelt the Britney Spears, Sarah Jessica Parker and the Jennifer Lopez perfumes in the store and love all of them but can't decide!!! I think my 199 target gift will have to be perfume!!!!
I like Britney Spears's Curious, but it wears off after about an hour. My absolute FAVORITE is Burberry London....it smells soooo good. It lasts all day and it's not too powerful
