Perfumes
 

I've bought and been given almost every popular perfume on the market. Some or should I say most very expensive,$45 on up. But I found a fragrance that surpasses everything I own, and it's only $1.95. I couldn't believe it! CALGON has body sprays that put those $100 bottles of perfume to shame. I'm constantly getting compliments, and of course I have all the different scents. So my question is what is your perfume of chose, and have you ever tried CALGON?

My faves are:
Tiffany
Bath and Body Works, Raspberry and Pearberry
So De'La Renta
GAP, So Pink
and...
Sunflowers

Just to name a few http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif

I love the Calgon body sprays! They are the bomb indeed!
I usually wear body sprays b/c the fragrance is lighter and it's hard to find a good light spelling perfume. I usually wear the Bath and Body works body sprays in peach, vanilla and pear (although I dont wear the pear that much anymore)
My fav perfumes are Aqua di Gio and Pleasures. Oh and Cool Water is cool too.

I love body sprays as well. They're light, airy, and perfect for the summer. My favorites are Bath and Body works Warm Vanilla, Toasted Hazelnut, Plumeria, and Cucumber melon. As far as perfumes, I LOVE Clinique Happy but this summer, I'm really enjoying this perfume called "Tropical Punch." It actually spells like tropical punch kool-aid so much that it makes me thirsty. Has anyone smelled or tried it?

All this talk of body sprays & perfumes makes me think of my favorites~ I just love the Victoria's Secret Scent "Amber Romance" I purchased the perfume, body spray,bath gel, poweder, candle and air spray! The stuff smells SO GOOD! My favorite purfume is SamSara.

The new DKNY is my current favorite. I also LOVE the body sprays from Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works. My all-time favorites are Pretty in Pink, Sweet Temptation, any thing peach or vanilla, and Pearberry.

I like Amarige by Givenchy.
Bath & Body Works Raspberry, Peach, and Sunburst Melon

HOW COME i'm trying to find a man that will buy that set for me? it smells so good. it has a very sexy and lady-like scent (i know that might sound crazy http://www.plauder-smilies.de/rolleyes.gif ). it's definitely a scent for a woman, and not a little 13-year old.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean ? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind http://www.plauder-smilies.de/nut.gif

Sometimes body sprays smell better than their $50+ counterparts. I use both perfume and splashes.

My Fav's:


1. Jean Paul Gaultier
2. Crimson Kiss from V. Secret
3. Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden
4. Shalimar
5. Burberry's for Women
5. Lalique

I don't wear perfume that often -- too heavy. I wear cologne sometimes. When I do its Privilege (sp). I like the body sprays the most. I used to wear VS Vanilla Lace until this Alpha I know told me I smelled like cookies and ice cream. I need to lose a couple of pounds so I didn't want to smell like I was cheating on my diet. *L* Now I wear White Musk -- its cheap, but I like it! :-)

Dang, I just realized this, but it seems like for every stage in my life I get stuck on one type of perfume.

In 4th and 5th grade, it was that stank Malibu Musk. Anybody remember this? It stank sooo bad and came in a bottle shaped like a palm tree? But I thought it smelled good... I can't believe I ever wore that mess.

Middle school was all about Sunflowers. My mama always told me it smelled like fingernail polish remover, but hey. Then around 7th or 8th grade Bath and Body got really popular. Thought I would die without my country apple soap, body spray, etc.

In high school I wore nothing but Curve, but it started to seem like I couldn't smell it after about 10 minutes.

NOW I'm all about Tommy Girl. I love the scent, but I usually forget to put it on!

I'm a CK-B and Joy person myself.

My all time favorite is Fendi. I also like Gucci-Rush, Liz Claiborne Vivid and Giorgio's Ocean Dreams. Fron Bath & Body Works, Yes Sun Ripen Rasberry will always be top of the list, then there is Tangerine, Sunsweet Kiwi and Green Apple.

1. Yissie Miyaki (sp?) (talk about S-E-X-Y)
2. Jean Paul Gautier (SEXY too!)
3. Daulton (a fragrance I found in Miami)
3. Tommy Girl (for casual weekends)
4. Pleasures (perfect for summer)
5. Chanel No. 5 (a classic)
6. Beautiful (the name says it all!)
7. Pink; a new scent from Victorias Secret (flirty and fun)
I love to wear perfume everyday. I've never tried Calgon, but after this thread I'm headed to the Drug Emporium after work!

NowOrNever, Tropical Punch is new by Escada and I LOVE IT. The first time I smelled it I was like I have to have that...It just makes me think of Summer, It's my new favorite summer nice perfume. For everyday I wear B&BW Sunsweet Kiwi Spray

My current favorites are Mimosa by Calypso St. Barths, Michael by Michael Kors, Eau de Touch by Tocca and Amour de Cacao by Comptoir Sud Pacifique, and I just bought Eau de Parfum Sugar by Fresh.
I'm not into body sprays that much.

Although I wear perfume everyday; I will not go anywhere without first applying Bath & Body Works Toasted Hazelnut. I am a finatic for this ritual; using the shower gel, lotion, and body splash. I use all 3 religiously every day. Anyhow, perfumes...I wear beuatiful daily (to work). Casually, curve and Gucci Rush. Ralph Lauren's Romance when going out for occassions of various sorts. However, the BIG BANG amongst perfumes for moi, and I have searched diligently for the last 4 years to find the perfect perfume to compliment my natural body frangrence, is...are you ready...okay now, I am giving away my pride and joy, the one that makes people's heads turn and ask me "what are you wearing, it smells delectible?" Christian Dior's JADORE. I am one with that fragrance, and only use it for SPECIAL occasions; ya dig!

Fragrances often are descriptive of your personality. I love floral and citrus oriented perfumes...they are uplifting and feminine, much like myself. My favorites are:

Clinique's Happy
Prescriptive's Calyx
Bill Blass' Amazing
Issac Misyake for Women
Il Bacio- Princess Marcella Borghese

Contradiction is by Calvin right?? I love that smell and also Susan lucci (Erica Kane) has a perfume out that I would like to try, they say it has a citrus smell and is an aphrodisiac.

I also do body sprays by Bath and Body ...

Some of my favorite scents

*Coconut-Bath and Body Works
*Of A Woman-The Body Shop
*Cotton White-The Body Shop
*Obsession (a classic)
*Oscar de la Renta
*Allure by Chanel
*Donna Karan

My favorite calgon spray is just picked tulips it smells heavenly... I do admit to buying the brand names... I just paid over $60 for Gucci envy, I just love it!

My signature scent is "Ashante", I have no idea who makes it, but i buy it at JCPenney's http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif People are always tellin me I smell good, one guy stopped me on the sidewalk and asked me what I was wearing cause it smelled so good he wanted to get some for his wife!

Ok Ladies--
This topic is something I definitely know something about:

Aqua di Gio-Giorgio Armani
Casual-Paul Sebastain
DKNY-Donna Karan
So-Oscar de la Renta
Gio-Cacherel
Romance-Ralph Lauren
Chanel No. 19-Chanel
Happy-Clinique

I love Victoria Sercet Heavenly.

Kay

Nothing has graced my wrists but Chanel No. 22 since I was in 7th grade.

well the scents the I like the most but haven't restocked my shelves as of yet are:

Victoria Secrets:
Love Spell
Whispering Mist


I'm trying to venture out in the scents that I wear but I have to be extremely cautious because I have extremely sensitivity skin and I can't tolerate certain smells.

Although the spellings varied a little bit... http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gif...I can't believe I didn't think to put Issey Miyake on the list!

Because I want to own my own clothing store I mainly work retail jobs. I was fortunate to work in the Fine Fragrance Department at one point. I think I wore every scent at least once!


More of my fav's:

Jivago 24k by Ilana Jivago
Romance by Ralph Lauren (I was so MAD when all the publicity started. No one was wearing it when I bought the bottle!!!!!)
Opium by Yves St. Laurent
Angel by Terry Mugler

WHERE have you been?

Alfred Sung- Forever
Ellen Tracy
CK-B

For the last year, I have never come across anyone else who had even heard of Privilege!
It has a wonderful smell... My mother bought the perfume because it came with a white bear with pink trimmings that she knew I would like - I just happened to like the perfume also. In any case, I am a 5th Avenue girl at night and in winter. During the spring and summer I lean toward DKNY and Polo Sport for Women...

Has anyone else come across Pure by Alfred Sung? I think it smells great...although it smells a lot like another one in the family of Estee Lauder....
