It is nice though, very fresh

For guys, I like Christian Dior Higher (airy, floral) or Farenheit (to me, it smells like SEX!, it's just raw appeal), or Giorgio Armani Acqua di Gio (light, transparent, oceanic). I don't like old-man- smelling stuff, and I don't want my guy to smell like a girl, either.

Someone I knew wore vanilla essence, but stopped after a strange man approached her and said that she smelt good enough to eat.

Just plain soap and water works fine for some people, but I have noticed that there are some people who just smell off like sour dough even if they bathe and/or shower regularly. Which is why the "no scent" option is sometimes dud.

I like Marc Jacob's new cologne. Except I don't like that it's advertised by pictures of Sofia Coppola.

People do have very distintive smells, whether they clean themselves a lot or not. I do remember another girl I knew who just smelled like a goat. It's not like she was dirty, it was her body chemistry.
Sofia Coppola is a complete dud, and it pains me to want to buy Marc Jacobs when I feel I am supporting Sofia Coppola by doing it.

Just kidding. I've never said "just kidding" in a post before, ever.
I'm wearing something called Croquembouche by Demeter. I don't know what a Croquembouche is, but it smells like caramel, which is a bit odd. WHy do I want to smell like food?

Otherwise, I prefer shampoo/soap/fabric softener/candle odors than perfume/cologne... I'd rather take a dip in baby powder than spend large dollars on little bottles of excess.

For men, I liked Vetiver by Guerlain (vetiver, tobacco, line), which I bought once on the recommendation of the nice man with a waxed moustache at Colonial Drug for an ex-boyfriend who smoked. 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.
Has anybody else read the very gothy Perfume by Patrick Suskind? THE UNDETECTABLE YET ALL- POWERFUL SCENT OF YOUNG FRENCH VIRGINS hehehe

I hate when people wear so much cologne that it's almost visible (especially because then I sometimes have slight allergic reactions), but I hate even more when people smell as if they haven't had a shower in the last decade (one of the many reasons I hate DC public transportation).
I'm bored with the fashion for fruit (especially citrus) scents, and thankful that the vanilla fad seems to have peaked.

"angel" was my scent for years, but just recently i decided to go for a change and am wearing the grandly named "jasmine for the empress" by creed, which was created for the empress josephine (napolean's s.o.) it was a limited edition and i probably won't be able to replace it. shame, cos it's heavenly!

I sometimes wear DK Men (discontinued, but I still find a bottle here or there online), it smells like manwhore.

Me, I want a bottle of Alexander McQueen's Kingdom. I don't even care about the perfume, the bottle is just a little piece of art.
