I like to try different things. I do like to wear Versace Blue Jeans off and on. I think I'm getting the Kenneth Cole Reaction stuff for Christmas.

I really like my room and car smelling like something. I love running through the Glade isle and smelling all of the scents. There was this one by Renuit that was some waterfall thing. Very sexy!:-P

Depends. On mood I guess.

I have an Escada, I have "Fluid" from Iceberg, I have a "Navigare" which I use on a regular basis.

For special events I use Salvatore Ferragamo :)

I use Donna Karan's "Be Delicious" for Men - it's also available for women - it comes in a nice bottle shaped as an apple :)

Right now it's Hugo Boss - Deep Red. Also Calvin Klein - Eternity, Lolita Femicka, JP Gaultier and more. Depends on the mood I'm in, and the situation.

To make a small retraction to what i posted, Renuit is a air freshener, not a cologne. I would'n want to spray that on my self.

Red Door by Elizabeth Arden reminds me of my grandma (she wears it!). She's still alive, so it's not a sad rememberance!

Everyday: Paul Smith Woman

Going out: Ultraviolet or Pure Poison

If I run out of Paul Smith Woman or am trying to get a guy into bed: Hugo Deep Red. LOL (Apparently it has something in it that they subconsciously like? I dunno, but it works! hehe)

Jules - Have you actually made anything decent form the Body Shop kit?? I was gonna buy it but the scents they had weren't to my taste and I could not see how mixing those could create something good!

Some women wear men's cologne. I don't know why, but hey! Maybe it's so they smell like they've been in passion for about 4 hours.

It's true!! I worked in a perfume shop 4 years ago over Christmas and they really do, and it's not even the butch women who you're not sure what gender they actually are...

From what I recall, the most common men's fragrance used by women is Joop (the one in the red box) ... Which is also the favourite of trashy teenage boys.

Farenheint is what i do use now, but actually I don'0t really like it... it doesn't really fit much with my PH skin.
So i will back to use my favorite of all the times. Insensee Ultramarine by Givenchy

it does depend on your skin how the perfume smells, lol.

the perfume seller once told me that a good perfume can really stink on someone when their skin doesn't match, lol

and if you can't really smell your own perfume anymore and keeps on spraying more and more it's time to change to a different fragance :-D

well, I hope I am not smelling like shit because of the perfum... but it doesn't match with my skin, it goes away after some hours...

Or just buy EDP rather than EDT which is very watered down. EDP is closer to pure perfume and if you get a good brand, it will last hours.

That's for women anyway, I have no idea how it works for mens... But the purer the better!

well i think the purest perfume for men is called eau de toilette and the bit watered down version is after shave, which is much cheaper.

yes men perfums doesn't exist, there are just eau de toilette... but they aren't cheaper than female perfums I think.

I wear "cool Water" from Davidoff or "Pure Lavender" from Azzaro.
Sometimes I wear others but most of them tend to catch my throat except the 2 above.
I'm looking for something really strong n fresh if anyone has any ideas, hopefully it wont make me cough like most do.

Nothing, I am natural since 8 months back.
I get headache from some/most perfumes, but that is not the reason why I do not wear it. It's cause I don't want Colin to smell like a perfume store.

My mum didn't wear much parfum, because she was busy with us little boys, but she did have a lavender hand cream she would use. To this day, when I smell lavender it reminds me of my mother. You can think of that as Colin begins to make memories... I find smells so powerful.

Larzy » We wear the same! I love the apple/citrus/coffee/moss flavours in BE DELICIOUS! Though I always felt the name of the scent was funny.

Thats hot ;-) I just love that parfume - very me, but I love everything connected with an Apple :-O... Before that my favorite was Calvin Kleins "Be" - the black bottle for men and women... but I grew a little tired of that, but I use it as a deodorant stick still... But this thread is great, makes me wanna try out some new "flavours" *G* - Jill Sanders "Sun" sounds fresh and interesting, haven't smelled it yet...

Although not adressed to me, yes that is Robyn... Why do you guess she was a one hit wonder? Do you mean that you though she was a one hit wonder? She actually has a few albums released,

Robyn Is Here
1997 - I think - incl. singles Do You Really Want Me, You've Got That Something, Show Me Love (on the international edition)

My Truth
1999 - incl. singles Electric, Play, Main Thing

Don't Stop The Music
2002 - incl. singles Keep This Fire Burning, Don't Stop The Music

Robyn
2005 - incl. singles Be Mine, Who's That Girl

Thats hardly a one hit wonder - but her last 3 albums probably didn't make it big outside Europe / Scandinavian.
Her last album is really good - I like her a lot :) I won the cd "My Truth" in a competition in 1999 so I have it signed with a blue marker, and at the same time I won her single for "Play" which I got signed with a gold marker :) hehe.. nice items in my collection (at least I hope I still have them somewhere)... On her "self-titled" album from this year the song, Crash And Burn Girl is worth a listen :)

I think this is aimed at me- No its not supposed to be dirty, its supposed to be universal.
there are 5 different pics some ugly some cute(perhaps) and 4 words written in 4 languages.
The word "guapa" is Spanish for "handsome", I don't think I am, but there should be a question mark (or 2 even) but i thought they were too big for the pic.
Casse=rough- French
Malu=Shy- Malay and I guess you know "innocence is English.

I may change one or 2 of the pics and include AOB.

Actually, it was for Tender. That's okay though!

In the US, the only Robyn song that was popular was Show Me Love. It's like Ace of Base: not very popular over here, but elsewhere it's very cool.

Oh I love "Axe " body spray too except its called "lynx" here in the UK.
My faves are "Africa" "dimension" and "touch".... I don't like "phoenix" so much .

First of all...I didn't know that it is 'wearing a perfume'...learned s'thing again.

I have Versace-prfume. hey say it's a nice smell, and I like it myself too. On not-important-days I have Tommy Hills'thing. ;-)

One thing I realized: many people smell very nice themselves. It is s'times even better withot a perfume!!! Some people have a great own-smell!

Romance is my favorite :). Its actually the one perfume i have worn over several years... i like to try different scents. it is expensive, but wal mart seels it for 42 (?) dollars.. much cheaper than dept. stores.

what i wear for perfume depends on my mood, what im wearing (am i the only weirdo that does this?? lol) and the season.

J.Lo- Glow
DKNY- Be delicious
Armani- Sensi , Emporio
Channel- Chance
Lancome- Miracle (which i usually put on if im wearing something pink...lol im strange)


for a man::

I LOVE AQUA DI GIO!! chrome is hot, Armani works on some guys... i love when a man smells good.

actually i like how certain perfumes come to remind me of people i love and care about (male or female). its always cool when im out shopping or something and some chick will walk by wearing my best friends perfume... makes me smile :)


and just to say... i cannot stand the scent of Joop... bad memories i guess but i think the stuff smells gross.
