Perfume / Cologne

I wanted to buy my grandmother Bojour's Evening In Paris, which she used to love when she was my age (she tells me). It's been reissued in America, but the cheapest place I can find it won't let me buy it without giving a state. I don't have a state, or a Canadian province, because I live in the UK. It gave me a UK option in the pull down menu, but I still had to give a state. ARRRRGGGHHH>

xp

hell no:
annick goutal ce soir ou jamais
jo malone wild fig and cassis (and the new pomegranate one, sadly)
new edition youth dew (still reeks)

fragrance counters are very good for holiday shopping procrastination.

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").

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.

Other smells that are lol 90s:

Tribe
Exclamation
Charlie

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...

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

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

Angel is the absolute worst

Ad Rock smelled like Axe!!

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

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

So I can get a refund on this juicer?

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

Dibs on the juicer, unless neb wants it.

To juice some red apples.

gross

youre gross

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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