@MrsLa3, woman after my own heart! Haha. That's my favorite as well, when and if I decide to splurge in myself and actually buy perfume.
My sister is actually a frangeance nut. She owns a TON of different scents. I find it particularly interesting how different scents smell differently on different people. Juicy smells awesome on me, it doesn't smell so great on her. Something about how the different smells mix with the body's individual chemistry and hormones.

I pretty much hate perfume - there has been only one I ever liked and it's been years since I had it so I am not even confident the fragrance is the same. It's Laila by Geir Ness. I might have to order a bottle now, I should have at least one...
D&G light blue or miss Dior...unfortunately I'm super sensitive to scents and most set off my allergies. I try not to wear anything but those are my go to it I'm able to.

Sorry for the poor man's siggy...ticker won't load regardless of how many tips I read.
Flowerbomb by Viktor & Rolf. Found it in a really random way - our honeymoon got canceled due to a hurricane, so we went on a last-minute trip to Vegas instead. Stayed at the Cosmopolitan and walked through the adjacent Crystals shopping center every day which smelled amazing. When I got home I googled it and they actually pumped this scent into Crystals! Now it reminds me of my honeymoon and happy times in Vegas
La vie est belle by Lancôme is my fave! I don't wear it much during pregnancy because it's too strong for me right now but DH gets a bottle for Xmas most years.
I really like Realm perfume. Apparently it contains pheromones...which is maybe a little odd, but it smells wonderful. My other fave is Elle by YSL. I don't wear much perfume these days, so many places are 'scent-free.'
I'm never consistent enough with perfumes. I used to wear bvlgari coral rather consistently but it got expensive to keep up and H got tired of it. When I was getting ipsy packages I did get a couple of winners in the fragrance department. My two favorites there were Yves Saint Laurent- Black Opium, and LaVanila Pure Vanilla.

Even if they smell nice, all inevitably make me sneeze up a storm.
The only thing I use, really, is a vial of this oil I got at a Renn Fest many moons ago. It's "Virgo" and it's musky. I love it but use it very sparingly because once it's gone, it's gone. It does not make me sneeze.

I never purchase perfume for myself because it feels selfish, but for Christmas my mom got my one of my faves Envy Me by Gucci. I only use it for special occasions so it'll last, but I love it!
I also love Clinique Happy and the cheap Victoria Secret Pink - Fresh & Clean because it seriously smells so fresh and... well clean!
And I am sorry, but my name must have changed when I updated my password and I have no idea how that happened. I used to be acstec1. I'm not even sure how that picture uploaded...
I was also a fan on Clinique Happy for a while. I also loveee Davidoff - Cool Water (Had to get DH the men's cause they both are amazing to me) and another favorite is Michael Kors - Sexy Amber
Maybe this belongs in a FFFC, but one of my (high school male) students has some amazing cologne, and I want to know what it is, but I don't want to be a creepy teacher. I seriously love the smell, though.
I used to love Burberry Brit. Now, I wear Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. I used to wear the No. 5, but DH prefers the Mademoiselle. I love vanilla and musk, or a clean, flowery scent.
@jessesgrl11 I didn't know there was an EXTREME version of Flowerbomb. I thought the original flowerbomb was pretty extreme. But now I will have to go investigate....
I don't wear perfume; most trigger my allergies. I do love the smell of Elizabeth Arden's Red Door though because that's what my Gran wears every day. When I travel and see the spritzer in the Duty Free shops I'll spritz a little on sometimes to feel closer to her.
I can't wear perfumes myself (allergies are too sensitive, even some scented candles and lotions cause me to have sneezing fits and irritated sinuses/nose).
I absolutely LOVE when DH wears Gucci Black though.
I'm another FlowerBomb gal, though it's a heavy scent and I only wear it for special occasions.
My everyday one is Body by Victoria, which is a VS scent. It blends wonderfully with my shampoo and the smell is just perfect. Subtle, but still there.
