I doubt I'd like Vetiver any more now than I like Chanel's Coco which I wore when I was 16 and thought I was chic. Now I think it smells like whore.

so true. i sprayed myself with a bit of coco, which i wore in high school, to see if i still liked it. it immediately put me in mind of the french prostitutes in the kids in the hall hotel la rut skit ("i am theenking of tony").

I think my next perfume will be Chanel No. 5. After 40. How long can you keep perfume anyway? This bottle of Paris I had got so stale I had to throw it out. Anais Anais reminds me of high school and Molly Ringwald in Pretty in Pink.

My sister asked for Jill Sander no. 4 EDP for Xams. I ordered it for her on-line so I haven't smelled it yet. Any one familiar w/...?

i recently started wearing parfum for the first time ever, starting on thanksgiving. for years, i've always disliked any/all perfumes and other "stanks". people have ruined it for me by wearing insane amounts, etc etc. anyway, when my stepmom was over for thxgiving, she smelled so lovely, i was actually following her around and 'secretly' sniffing her. well, she caught on and introduced me to dior's addict. i was really skeptical, but she let me try some and it just worked. i mean, it seem to work well with my chemistry. and i have to admit, it made/makes me feel so womanly or feminine or something. so, yeah, christian dior's addict. lovely.

i've been wearing noa fleur for about a year.. it's floral, but not too heavy. i like rose, but i hate the grandmother tea rose thing, and this is nice because it gives you a hint of rose but it's mixed with other niceness and is not overpowering.
today, i bought a little bottl of the banana republic perfume on a whim - it is very fresh and clean smelling :)

I bought Britney Spears' perfume for my friend's xmas pressie as she likes it for some strange reason. Talk about a red face when i had to ask for it.

Can any Mitsouko wearers tell me where I can find a bottle for less than forty quid?

― Mädchen (Madchen), Monday, 19 December 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

http://www.strawberrynet.com/ is cheap and ships anywhere in the world, however if you need it for christmas it is probably too late.

― Lars and Jagger (Ex Leon), Monday, 19 December 2005 14:05 (twenty years ago)

You should be able to get Mitsouko for about £25 in the perfume shop, i think there's one in the Buchanan Galleries.

― leigh (leigh), Monday, 19 December 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

The thing about Mitsouko though is that the difference in quality between the eau de toilette and the eau de parfam is massive, far more so than with other scents. You can get small bottles of the eau de toilette in Superdrug for about a tenner, but I think it lacks the clingy dark edge that makes the eau de parfam so great. (I know this is verging on the obsessive, but I've been wearing Mitsouko for years and it is an additcion.)

I'm thinking of getting that new gualtier scent for the g/f - is it any good?

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 19 December 2005 15:03 (twenty years ago)

gualtier=gaultier

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 19 December 2005 15:05 (twenty years ago)

I think I'll go and buy a new perfume at lunch now that you've all held forth -- that sounds like something that would sweeten the day.

― Laurel (Laurel), Monday, 19 December 2005 15:09 (twenty years ago)

Can somebody confirm whether Fendi Donna is a man or womans scent??

Santa hates me :-(

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:22 (twenty years ago)

I don't wear perfume because I am too poor to spend money on smells. But I like people who do.

― Cathy (Cathy), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:24 (twenty years ago)

I need to get more l'heure bleue.

― leigh (leigh), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:26 (twenty years ago)

This one looks and smells like a mans, I won it as a prize. It may just be a masculine ladies scent. The bottle gives no clues.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:32 (twenty years ago)

Hey does anyone want to hear my theory about the difference between perfume and cologne?

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:34 (twenty years ago)

I do

― cozen (Cozen), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:35 (twenty years ago)

Go on then. Excuse me while I drink my Fendi.

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:36 (twenty years ago)

I don't think you can drink cologne.

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:38 (twenty years ago)

It's okay with lemonade....

― Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Wednesday, 21 December 2005 13:42 (twenty years ago)

two years pass...

My signature smell is Chanel Chance. I like Allure Sensuelle and Coco too, though No. 5 smells like a grandma to me. So over DKNY Be Delicious at this point. I like Vera Wang Princess. I guess I tend to like "young! fresh!" smells, for better or worse. Embarrassingly, I even like the "Music" smell out of Gwen Stefani's LAMB line. When I feel like a grown-up (rare) I wear Givenchy Amarige.
My BF likes Thierry Mugler's "Angel" which at first I refused to wear, but it's grown on me. Kinda smells like cake or something on me for some reason.
I praise and sometimes wear cK one why because it lol 90s.
The worst thing I've ever smelled: tie between Paris Hilton's Heiress and P. Diddy's Unforgivable. Totally apt name on that last one.

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 13 November 2008 21:02 (seventeen years ago)

Other smells that are lol 90s:

Tribe
Exclamation
Charlie

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 13 November 2008 21:35 (seventeen years ago)

I remember a New Girl coming to my middle school and she had this awful, rubber factory-esque smell to her. It was unexlplicable, until one day I saw her with a bottle of Tribe. Wonder if Jaymc remembers her...

― Granny Dainger, Thursday, 13 November 2008 21:55 (seventeen years ago)

Ad-Roc doesn't smell like any of those things.

― nabisco, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:07 (seventeen years ago)

exclamation... haw! i guess debbie gibson's electric youth fragrance was more late 80s, but i think of that in the same way.

― lauren, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:08 (seventeen years ago)

Angel is the absolute worst

― gabbneb, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:08 (seventeen years ago)

Ad Rock smelled like Axe!!

xpost neb, we are just not meant to be, i guess

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:12 (seventeen years ago)

yeah, i don't think maintaining a 10-foot distance would work

― gabbneb, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:13 (seventeen years ago)

So I can get a refund on this juicer?

― nabisco, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:14 (seventeen years ago)

I like the Jo Malone jasmine and mint but I end up sniffing my own wrists.

― ljubljana, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:14 (seventeen years ago)

Dibs on the juicer, unless neb wants it.

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:14 (seventeen years ago)

To juice some red apples.

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:15 (seventeen years ago)

gross

― gabbneb, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:20 (seventeen years ago)

youre gross

― roxymuzak, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:21 (seventeen years ago)

You two are making me think I should hang on to the juicer

― nabisco, Thursday, 13 November 2008 22:28 (seventeen years ago)

one month passes...

Well, Marc Jacobs Daisy smells like shit and I was stuck with it all day.

Also: when I got paid the other day I went to the perfume counter and bought a GIANT cK one. I will be lol 90s til I die, I guess.

― rox qua rox (roxymuzak), Monday, 15 December 2008 10:06 (seventeen years ago)

I've been using a sample of Stella by Stella McCartney lately. Hope to get a gift card for xmas to buy it with.

atm it's l'occitane's green tea for me.

― jed_, Monday, 15 December 2008 14:47 (seventeen years ago)

i love perfume so much. it doesn't have to be stinky and artificial.

my two every day scents are l'artisan premier figuier extreme (notes of fig, fig leaf, milk of almond, sandalwood, coconut) and les nereides musc de java (notes of light musk, berries, blackcurrant, violet leaves, sage, fresh cut hay)

i just found out via my mother who is awful at keeping secrets that i am getting a full bottle of serge luten chergui for x-mas

― homosexual II, Monday, 15 December 2008 14:50 (seventeen years ago)

i love l'artisan stuff. no more perfume for me until i use up most of my gigantic bottle of bulgari red tea, but i really want mure et musc extreme or premier figuier.

― lauren, Monday, 15 December 2008 15:03 (seventeen years ago)

roxy is it like one of those small 375 ml Jim Beam sizes? I have seen those & they are rad.

― Abbott of the Trapezoid Monks (Abbott), Monday, 15 December 2008 18:22 (seventeen years ago)

I wear Delices de Cartier because it smells vaguely like cherries to me.

― craven, Tuesday, 16 December 2008 02:24 (seventeen years ago)

Yep, Abbott! I got the same size cK one lotion, too. :X

^Is growing on me, but I feel like it doesn't suit me for a reason that is difficult to put into words.

What do y'all think about Kenneth Cole Black?

― roxymuzak, Monday, 2 February 2009 04:22 (seventeen years ago)

i cannot get behind any perfume. it all smells really bad on me.

Recommend me something manly.
