colognes and perfumes

online -- my boyfriend got me one of their samples, with a small bottle of 5 different scents. they were all so pretty and it lasted forever

I used to love Clinique Happy! It's been a long time but I'm sure I'd still like it, but now I'm pretty much 100% Burberry Brit, all the time. It's so lovely.

yeah see i really likd the Brit when i was at sephora. but for summer, clinique happy would be great

if i had to wear one, i'd use comme des garcons man 2. its really really good, but my best (female) friend uses it already

saying u dont wear cologne is punk rock!!!

i just switched to aqua de gio bcuz its a light citrus-y smell that seems nice for summer

i dont wear cologne

think its gay old spice is all u need

yah old spice just smells like old men

I don't know why this board brings me such pleasure. I guess I am a closet style obsessive

"I came to not-lol at deeznuts' trolling, but then I stayed for the eyebrow waxing advice"

deej have you ever noticed that old men are NEVER gay??

u have clearly never seen the chicago pride parade

Also, I have never waxed my eyebrows. I am monobrow and proud.

Also, I am defiantly heterosexual. "The man can't make me go down on other guys; fuck you GWB and big corporate fat cats, get off my ass!"

^^^
omg, what???

Why is the HOMOSEXUAL AGENDA always trying to ruin my FAMILY VALUES??!!

stop ruining my thread nitwits

My wit is more akin to beehive than lice eggs. Just sayin'.

Lately I'm wearing Carolina Herrera 212, but my old standby is Chanel #19. Mr. Que's shaving cream smells awesome on him and is better than any cologne he could ever wear.

i think i missed something

that's what happens sometimes when I try to be "funny"

mm i'm trying to remember the hermes scent i tried this weekend...it's new i think?

I also have a thirty year bottle of Givenchy perfume that my Grandma gave me (among other testers in charming ridiculous boxes and bottles) - it still smells good and hasn't burned me yet so I must assume it's safe to wear? The scent drives my boyfriend wild, it's fun to watch!

still wearing mandragore + un jardin sur le mediterranee. i love un jardin sur le nil and want it but am so broke.

there is some body shop scent that i have a weakness for (when worn by the xy chromosome contingent)...i don't think it's "white musk", but maybe it is???

i got this as a gift from my shmancy XGF and it sees some action about once a month:

it's kind of mild and citrus-y. it's also the first (maybe last?) bottle of cologne i've ever owned.

xposts to myself
oh wait, are woman xx? oops

i love egoiste

i'm currently wearing flower by kenzo, which i love because it's a soft kind of citrusy-chocolate. i used to love au blanc by bvlgari, but that shit is super expensive, i can't find it in a parfum (only a weak cologne spray, which is still like $75).

i really really like perfumes that lean more towards the unisex, soft citrusy scents.

i want un jardin sur le nil, too. also the comme de garcons series 6 synthetic: tar.

lol, there is a beer in philly named "kenzo".... streets of kenny

also, "fleur de lehigh", good grief

belgian brewing aspirations meets penn. dutch culture

i would dab fleur de lehigh on my pulse points

kenzo's main line is linens and high-end comfy home things i think

one of my favorite simpsons lines is when moe says "kids, i'm less of a bath guy and more of a cologne guy"

One of my coworkers gives himself an injudicious slap of cologne in our work lounge 1) after arriving in the morning 2) after eating lunch and 3) possibly other times that I don't catch. It is most noxious. People need to realize that some of us have a rather delicate sense of smell.

i love egoiste

enjoy!

I haven't worn fragrance regularly in a while. When I do want a scent however, I really like OP Juice. It's cheap as hell, but it's actually a reasonable light, summery kinda thing.

My nose isn't that discerning, but what comes off most are cucumber and citrus, with a woody kinda base.

The bottle it comes in sucks much one though. I've bought it on three occasions and each time the level that you press to dispense the fragrance has broken off, so that I have to jerry-rig it.

My first signature scent was a mess of CK Contradiction, two dabs of sandalwood, and the Camel smoke.

thank

you

so

much

its the french version... i liked the america version because it ended with a model swinging around in a bird cage.....

I use bvlgari au thé blanc and every time I think of switching I end up far too dizzied by the selection: nothing else seems right, it's all too flowery or too blustery or too acid. So, even though it's pricey... every time one of my family travels via a duty free area I beg them to pick some up for me.

A couple of months ago I went to hug a friend's husband and found he was wearing it too: it was really weird to smell 'my' perfume on someone else's skin, like being stuck in an olfactory loop.

yeah perfume choosing is hard work. i would never have bought kenzo cuz it smells like shit on a swatch, but somehow smells completely different on my skin. a friend had some and we were goin out in a hurry so i just sprayed it on, and fell in love.

I wear A*men in winter and B*men in summer. Best ever.

Although I'm thankful they dropped the naming convention at that point.

haha

i am still overwhelmed by the world of perfumes but wld really like a nice one. i kinda just want it to magically come to me.

has anyone tried dior eau de sauvage?

Boudicca going high concept, hark on this:

Not a cologne but I used to slap this stuff on post shave. Made me smell like a barbershop.

Pope Pius has his own cologne:

A rather odd spelling of Woad there.

I've been going with Dior's Eau Sauvage for the last two years. I'm now thinking of trying sth else

i really want to try it

really understated and perfect for the summer, but it is extremely discreet

yeah sounds awesome for summer

Ooh, Ben used to wear that, I think I bought him some in...well, almost 10 years ago. I like it!

Perfumed Court has 20% off the entire website tomorrow for one day. Code is TPCanniversary.

Eau Sauvage isn't TOO citrusy right?

lol apparently according to ILX i've been talking about this cologne for 5 years

....

but this time it's for a gift! for my man!

i love citrus fragrances, personally

It's one the most perfectly designed citrus fragrances ever. Very lemony but really well balanced.

for nostalgic reasons i am still a big fan of royall lyme since it's what my grandfather wore
