GTKY NTTCR: What Are Your Scents?

URMySunshine77

Do you regularly wear perfume? If so, what is your signature scent? Are there any non-perfume scents that you love? Did you wear any scents in the past that you can't bear to wear anymore?

I like Dolce and Gabbana's Light Blue - my grandmother wore it and it makes me think of her. I also have a jasmine scented perfume, but I cannot remember who it is by (it's another Italian designer). I don't wear perfume often as it can be a detriment to a chef's palate.

ETA: I remember now, it's Bulgari.

I am not a big perfume person. They often make me break out. 

I mainly use lighter body sprays. The one I love right now is by The Body Shop and it's Grapefruit/Peach. In the winter time though, I will sometimes use a little "Very Sexy" by Victoria's Secret.

I'm a perfume ho. Off the top of my head, I have the following:

Clinique Happy

Prada (it's amber-y and sexy)

Molinard Vanille (an amber-vanille)

West Third Brand's Old Bourbon (it really smells like having a bourbon on the rocks while sitting in a leather club chair)

Diptyque - the exact name is French and escapes me, but it smells like a garden after a rain

Estee Lauder White Linen (my favorite when I was a teenager as well)

Tresor

Years ago, I dated a writer who reviewed perfumes as a side job. So he was always giving me different samples to try out, and I wound up getting really into it. I find I like amber scents in cooler weather, and citrus or florals when it's warm.

I use a bunch of Calgon's marshmallow scented products.  I have sophisticated tastes.

Most real perfume is just too much for me, but I do like lotions and stuff like the above.  I used to love Bare Escentuals Showers before they stopped making perfumes.

I mostly wear Sandalwood because perfume gives me migraines, but I used to love, love, love O De Lancome. It smells so clean and fresh.

I wear Fresh Blossom, part of the Be Delicious collection. I love it, which I don't typically love perfumes. They are usually too strong. I really dislike musk and patchouli (sorry @kimberlyjware‌) smells, I usually remove myself from the room because they give my headaches.

My favorite scent is Bulgari's White Tea. It smells very similar to @meredithcarole's Light Blue, but it lacks the citrus element. I don't usually wear perfume because DH and I have opposite preferences and he gripes when I wear it. 

@austrogermokee: I think that I would like a lot of your scents because I'm drawn to woodsy and musky scents.

I don't wear perfumes on a daily basis but when I do it's either Burberry or Cool Water for Women.

I really can't do anything too floral or heavy.

I loved Bath & Body Works Bali Mango scent as far as body sprays go, but I am pretty sure they discontinued it

URMySunshine77

@xxAveryxx: I wish that Bath & Body Works didn't discontinue so many scents. I really liked a Tahitian flower scent, and it wasn't in the store for more than a year.

Yes! I bought it and lotion once.. and next time I went it was gone! Sooo annoying!

Perfumes make me queasy. Kind of a recent aversion. I was never really big on them but I used to use Gloria Vanderbuilt perfume that came in a red triangle bottle, Clinique Happy, and CK One back in the day. Now, I will occasionally wear lavender or grapefruit essential oil.

I'm not a daily perfume wearer, but when I do I like the following. Paris Hilton's Can Can, Dior Addict, Ralph Lauren's Blue, Ralph Lauren's Ralph (I think it's called).
As far as body sprays my #1 fav vanilla. Other than that it's Moonlight path & sea Island cotton

I wear Estée Lauders Beyond Paradise and Bath &Body Works Japanese cherry blossom body spray. DD gets a smidgen of JCB if I am putting it on when she is in the room. I will have to find a new scent soon because I think they have or are going to discontinue Beyond Paradise. All the scent posts will hopefully give me ideas.

Most perfumes give me migraines  

Before i had to stop using it my favorite was Calvin Klein's Euphoria Blossom. 

I can wear sweet scented lotions Vanilla, Coconut, lemon, basically anything that makes me smell like a cupcake....lol. 

I miss Euphoria Blossom.....it smells sooooooo good.....but gives me a huge headache now.

Clinique's Happy Heart is my only scent for the past few years, anything else is too heavy/strong for me! It has a wonderful light scent.
