I like Cacharel stuff. Amor Amor is one of my favs.

Joy is also my favorite. Has been for 50 years. The only time I didn't wear it was when I couldn't afford it. Once in a while I switch off to opium when I am in the mood for something a little (very) spicy.

Hmmm...I have a few favorites, and I wear them depending on my mood.

Herve Leger
Paloma Picasso
Prada "Infusion D'Iris"
Burberry "The Beat"

I love perfume by the way, I really do.

Oy, I'm extremely sensitive, bordering on allergic, to perfumes and fragrances.

Sorry, I guess there's one in every crowd  :(

Two.  Two in every crowd :(

Some is worse than others, but being too close to it makes my eyes very red and watery.  If it gets on my skin the area puffs up.  I can't even use fragranced soap or laundry detergent.  I made the mistake just once in college of not paying attention to what detergent I was buying.  I get all itchy just thinking about it.

Can you beat the fragrance of high mountain air, first thing in the morning, with the faint hint
of campfire smoke?

Or maybe the delightful fragrance of your sweaty lover lying close to you?

The aroma of the crystal clear waters of a pristine beach in the Caribbean?

The smell of fresh powder and pine on the first run of the day on a deserted slope?

The leather interior of a Porsche on a hot day? Or the intoxicating smell from a leather jacket on the
person you love?

I love perfumes... but memorable and favorite fragrance's are always natural smells for me :) And
I can't wait to experience all of those again while on HRT :)

I have almost no experience with perfume.  I got a sample of Victoria's Secret Heavenly and liked it enough to buy a bottle.
I haven't found anything else I like better (at least not yet).  I look once in a while, but there's just so many kinds!  It's completely overwhelming.  How do you pick just one?  ??? One, or even several, out of hundreds?  It's worse than the scented candle store.  After a while, you can't even tell what you smell anymore.

BTW, I also like the VS lipsticks.  I found a nice dark color that looks good on me.

Me too! I can't barely stand perfumes but I love all sorts of natural scents. Boy smell being one of the top ones, of course. :)

Yeah I always liked the smell of high grade, light machine oil, fresh sawdust and fresh cut grass (as long as I didn't have to do the mowing).  Still, I'm not about to dab some chain lube behind my ear and go off to the opera.  "Oh how enchanting you smell.  10-W30 or 5-W40 dear?"  Nor do I think that going in smelling like a pile of wood is going to cut it either.

I can come close to the grass however in Elizabeth Arden's Bluegrass, and I like her Red Door a lot too.  The more teen ager in me like Jean Nate, Cotton Candy and sugar/vanillia floral scents, the street walker in me loves Nina Ricci's  L'air du Temps, the more plain side of me like Charlie Blue.

And what's with perfumes not being natural - the best ones are all natural essences, very expensive stuff.
