Hey
Carnation!! Say hi to your daughter for me!!
That's really cool that mother and daughter are GCers now!!
I absolutely
LOVE citrus scents!! For some reason, I always am attracted to citrus scents. In fact, there was an issue of InStyle a few months back with a special fragrance section. For some weird reason, there is a GROUP COLOR Test which you can take which will show which group of fragrances you are attracted to the most (i.e., floral, oriental, woodsy, sporty, etc.). I was attracted to the group with baby pink, baby blue, baby purple (is there such a color?!), soft aqua. That put me in the citrus category...and it's so true!
The scents which I listed in my first post in this thread (under "For Me:") are mostly citrus! Have you ever tried Clinique Happy, YSL Babydoll, Px Calyx, or Ralph by RL? (I'm wearing Babydoll right now--and I love it!) Those are truly citrus scents! I think Stila Aqua Flaunt in Gardenia is also pretty citrus too. In fact--I am going to Sephora tomorrow! I will go there and check out some fragrances--I will report back to you in which citrus fragrances I really liked. Have you ever been to a Sephora store near you? The Salespeople are great--they are genuinely nice, helpful, and generous! You can pick up 3 free vials of perfume samples each time you go to the store (of fragrances that you like). The vials, IMO, last quite a long time! They are also generous with cosmetic samples, too (like foundation perhaps). HTHS!@! Like I said, I will report back to you soon on what I find!
P.S. I just remembered--Davidoff's Cool Water for Women is supposed to be a very popular, light, citrusy scent! I have never smelt it though (but the men's version is DELICIOUS!!)-- *making mental note to check it out tomorrow*
--will tell you about it soon!!
P.P.S. Have you ever logged on to
www.icompact.com ? I love that site! They have fragrance sections, makeup sections, skincare, etc. Also
www.beautybuzz.com has a big section on fragrance and fragrance smell-a-likes!
