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.

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.

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

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

baaderonixx, Thursday, 24 July 2008 08:48 (fifteen years ago) link

i really want to try it

Surmounter, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:34 (fifteen years ago) link

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

baaderonixx, Thursday, 24 July 2008 14:37 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah sounds awesome for summer

Surmounter, Thursday, 24 July 2008 18:52 (fifteen years ago) link

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

Eau Sauvage isn't TOO citrusy right?

surm, Wednesday, 10 July 2013 18:39 (ten years ago) link

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!

surm, Wednesday, 10 July 2013 18:40 (ten years ago) link

i love citrus fragrances, personally

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