This topic is so goood, cuz its opening me up to a lot more perfumes that I hadn't heard of. My favorites are:

Shi- Alfred Sung
Oxygene - Lavin
Boss Woman - Hugo Boss

I dont use Calgon, but I needed a quick body spray one day, and I was in Wal-Mart (you find everything at wally world) and I saw these body sprays by a company or group called Simply Basic (SB) and they smell so good, my favorite is Seascape. I have gotten so many compliments off of that body spray, and it was only $6.00 so I am happy!!

Note:: I was just thinking and remembered I had a friend who used to buy whatever smelled good on someone else, and unfortunately some smelled like hot trash on her. So I want to remind you ladies, if you can, get a tester from the store and try it for a couple of days before you make mistake!!

Ann - Ann Taylor
Happy - Clinique
Cristalle - Chanel

Hey I wore Malibu Musk in highschool!!! Hahaha remember that ozone layer killer? I used to wear Electric Youth in Jr. High, remember the commercials with Debbie Gibson? Yeah, I knew I was the only one. I later moved on to CK 1, omg I loved it but his child porno/homosexual ad's killed it. Then I wore vanilla, raspberry and ocean scented thingys from Naturistics. Afterwards I wore Motivation by Aveda and Juniper Breeze from Bath and Body Works. Next 2 years it was all about Tommy Girl. Then I moved on with the times to Tommy Freedom. Right now I am enjoying Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. It's sweeeeet http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif

I went to MF's yesterday just to check out some of these perfumes.
I really liked PINK from VS. Bought it!
That Tropical Punch was not for me, reminded me of something I had before, but can't remember what. Amber Romance was ok, but not a Vanilla person, a little to soft.
B&B all that stuff starts smelling alike to me, plus I think it's overpriced. Calgon is much cheapier and smells better. IMHO. Thanks ladies for the input

Donna Karan - Cashmere Mist

I love perfume, and although I shouldn't, I wear it every day. http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif

I just bought it TODAY! A++ Check, check!

Next...Gucci "Envy" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I luv my Gucci, also Love Spell from Victoria's Secret, and last but not least my most favorite ---- from Calgon -- Hawaiian Ginger!!!!! YEESSS! :D

I don't know if anyone has tried this scent. It is a seasonal scent so I don't know how much longer it would be available but Escada's Ibiza Hippie is very nice. It reminds of candy somehow. And it sorta reminds me of the Sweet Pea line form Bath and Body Works which also smells great. :)

I also love:
Gucci Rush
Jean Paul gaultier's signature scent
Christian Dior's J'adore

Yup! I wear it al the time. It replaced my old fav Tropical Punch

Mmm...

Michael by Michael Kors.
Marc Jacobs (just got a 3.4 oz. tester for $40. That size is normally $80.)
