HELP-Male and Female-Need a new fragrance

[justamom]

I know there was a HUGE thread on this last year, but I want to get my daughter a NEW fragrance. She mentioned Very Sexy by VS...Personally I don't care for it, but I picked some up just the same. PLEASE give me an idea of something NEW she might like. ALSO does anyone really LIKE Very Sexy??? USUALLY, if I like it she does too.

Edited-my son requested Blue-I really like that!

I absolutely adore Michael by Michael Kors. You can get it at Sephora (http://www.sephora.com) or department stores. It's a little pricey but well worth it. I've got the glimmer creme and the Eau de Parfum.

I think J. Lo Glow smells pretty good too. It's kind of light and fruity. Also at Sephora and department stores.

My sister digs "Pink" by VS. It might be the same things as Very Sexy, I don't know.

For guys, I like the Hugo Boss that comes in the canteen looking bottle. Mr. Mox smells yummy with it on.

My favorite is still Gucci Rush.

I'm getting Miracle by Lancome this year (thanks mom! ). At DZ Convention this summer, we rec'd samples of it in our bags, and I love it! Everytime I wore the sample, I got mad compliments.

Very Sexy is okay, but I agree that I like Pink better.

For guys-This is kinda cheesy, but the Mr. is getting EB26 in his stocking. It's one of the Eddie Bauer scents, and I love it! Yum.

Amen, NIkki_DZ! My favorite BY FAR is Miracle! I always feel so special when I wear it!

Very Sexy smells good as well...one of my sisters works at VS and she is hooked on the stuff! She also recommends Angels as well.

My two favorite guys sents are Abercrombie and Fitch Woods and DKNY Noir. Both smell terrific! My brother likes Cool Water and Nautica. Hope this helps any!!!!

One of my favorite perfumes is Creed. It's pretty expensiveand I don't even know if you can find it in the States. It's classy without being old lady perfume (like Estee Lauder's Youth Dew), and youthful without being too trendy.

What is "Blue"?

The BEST perfume ever is Sexy Graffiti by Escada. I get so many compliments when I wear it.

For men, I really like Angel by Thierry Mugler. It is, however, difficult to convince men to wear a fragrance called Angel.

Creed fragrances are available at Neiman Marcus. I've seen the Spring Flower, which is the Audrey Hepburn fragrance, there, and others.

I vote for Marc Jacobs, which has a great gardenia scent, as a new fragrance. Marc Jacobs is also pricey -- $60 for 1.7 ounces, but you can find 3.4-ounce testers (if you don't care about packaging) at "grey market" shops in the outlet malls and such.
for about the same price.

Also Jo Malone makes good stuff, it's available at Neiman or Saks. Try Grapefruit or Tuberose.

I'm a personal fan of "Bellara" by Mary Kay.

I agree, Miracle by Lancôme is one of the most fabulous perfumes I've ever worn. I also wear Dream from the Gap--can't beat the price for a clean, sweet scent--and a French perfume called L'Phantôm--lots of white flowers and a rose top note. I enjoy Little Black Dress from Avon--a heavier night scent, rather Oriental and spicy--and Haiku from the same--very fresh and clean, with green tea notes.

I dislike Very Sexy for women, honestly. I prefer Pink, and Victoria's Secret's new line of numbered fragrances--I think No. 66 was the one I enjoyed the most.

This being said, my young man is getting some Very Sexy for men in his stocking. I like the cologne on him. I have to admit, however, a soft spot for a Stetson man.

I suggest looking at Reflect.com and trying their perfume creation process. It's a little pricey, but it's a fair bet the scent will be original and well-received.

I like Jaipur Saphir by Boucheron.It was a bit pricey but well worth it.Anything by Boucheron is worth it.I like Miracle as well.Lancome also makes some wonderful aromatherapy body sprays.

For gals- Romance by Ralph Lauren, it's an older fragrance, but gawd it smells soooooo good
For guys- Curve or Hugo Boss, Mmmmmm

[Rudey]

For girls: Isse Miyake
For me: Cartier or versace metal

--Of course any of those pearberry/dewberry/fake fruit combinations work too because they make me really hungry.

RUDEY!!!! How you make me laugh!!! You are one BAD BOY!

Thanks to ALL, I have a great starting point. We don't have a Sephora, so I will check out the link. Most of the others (exception Neiman Marcus) I can check out. You don't know how much I appreciate the responses. She ALWAYS peeks into her boxes and I would LOVE to totally surprise her! I will also surprise my son!
