Spill the beans. What are your favorite fragrances?

Do you have different scents you wear seasonally? Or for date night vs. every day?
What about for your guy?

I wear Giorgio Armani Si. I would say it is floral with a vanilla base? I don't wear perfume regularly, just to work (sometimes), events, or date night. I want to buy the house perfume from Sezane but I don't see the point until I'm back in the office/more regularly socializing.

My everyday perfume is mademoiselle by Coco Channel or Princess by Vera Wang
I have a few different ones I wear on different occasions but those are my fave.

For the longest time I was wearing Daisy by Marc Jacobs

Now I wear Moss and/or Rain by Commodity.

I love floral eau de parfum from Coach. It's my go-to for pretty much everything.

@kgg2241 love Si! That’s my I-shaved-my-legs perfume.

My daily perfume is usually Juliette Has a Gun. It’s a hypoallergenic woodsy/earthy scent that isn’t heavy or overpowering.

In the winter I also love a mixture of sandalwood and vanilla oils.

On my “moving” flight from Canada to US 3 years ago, I had some time to kill a the airport Duty Free and purchased D&G Light Blue; it’s since become my one and only perfume.

I’ve worn a few throughout the year; I think immediately before discovering Light Blue, I was into Elie Saab Le Parfum; and before that it was Lancôme’s Miracle. But I’ve grown out of them both.

@inthewoods23 @BusinessWife I also never heard about wearing a special perfume to remind me of our wedding day. Then again we had a pretty atypical wedding so, I didn’t look into any special customs.

Aaaah, this thread is bringing back memories! I haven’t worn perfume since TTC (thanks ISWTE!😄) or nail polish, or anything else disruptive to hormones/the immune system. So this is a fun way to live vicariously through others. I want to try some of the ones y’all have mentioned. (I didn’t think I was really into perfumes at all but I wrote a novel here! Surprised myself.)

I’ve been a vanilla perfume person since high school?/college. Over the years I’ve graduated to roll-on vanilla oil. Then I heard that the scent of vanilla makes men feel attracted to you so I stopped wearing it at work. It’s my signature scent though and can’t wait till I can wear it again daily.

Way back when, I switched to Mademoiselle by Chanel for work. It’s a nice light barely-there scent perfect for work. I see you @daisy0322.😉

Then I found the original Juicy Couture perfume, which is light & faintly sweet: vanilla, tuberose, water lilies.

My last favorite is Bluebell by Jo Malone. It is so simple: fresh & clean & smells like springtime.

My absolute fave perfume of all time was Beauty by Kate Spade. It smelled exactly like Hawai’i: gardenias, honeysuckle, tuberose, jasmine, and fresh air all rolled into one beautiful bottle. But alas, as is the fate of every single amazing product that I find and fall in love with, it was discontinued after I got my first bottle. Tears ensued for years over this loss. 💔 💐

@kgg2241 I might have to look for that! I feel like I have always like the Armani
ones when I have sampled them over the years.
I have never heard of Sezane, but I am intrigued!

@daisy0322 My mom was always a die hard Chanel girl, so I myself
will wear Chance or Mademoiselle when I want to feel pretty 😊
Which like, why would I ever NOT want to feel pretty? Lol

@inthewoods23 Daisy is so pretty! Commodity is another one I have never heard of
but I bet I would like those fresh, earthy scents, too.

@awello That sounds to me like a solid go-to! :D

@rachelredhead That is some name right there! Lol Now I
pretty much have to find that one! ETA I searched and they have a lot of fragrances, including NOT a perfume. lol Which one do you wear?

@acleverusername Light Blue is so classic. I love that it has a significant moment when
it entered your life. Even if it’s not
from your wedding day, I’d say that counts for something!

@Keikilove I meant to say, I’m so sorry your whole post got
deleted, too! I hate when that happens.
But I don’t even remember which thread you said that on! Lol Do you
think even the vanilla oil would be problematic? Since it’s just a naturally derived thing? Like I mean, if you used just a bare bones
type of one.

 

 

AFM, I’m afraid to even give out trade secrets, so to speak!
Lol But I love hearing everyone else’s! So
I guess I can play, too. My wedding perfume
was Marc Jacobs, Blush. I had started
wearing it at some point while we were dating, but I just always loved it so
much, I wanted to keep it for a special signature of sorts. I even got wedding photos of the bottle in
the windowsill while we were getting ready! Lol

One I love for every day spring/summer is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, along with
Chance or Mademoiselle for a little something extra. For the longest time my winter perfume was
Dior Addict, but I have since run out and not gotten around to repurchasing… My
collection is just so big right now, mostly stuff I inherited from my mom, I
feel bad purchasing something new. :/ DH has a signature from when we started
dating, and he doesn’t wear it often, but when he does, man oh man! Gets me every time. I don’t know what it’s called, but it’s a Prada
one.

Love this thread. I'm terrible at trying to choose a new fragrance. However, my father in law bought all of his daughter in laws a bottle of Prada Candy for Christmas, and I'm really enjoying it. It's like the perfect combination of sweet but soft in my opinion. I smell slight hints of flowers, but mostly a caramel/vanilla scent

LJMoon6 · May 2021

I haven't worn perfume in a LONG time but back in the day it was the same as @acleverusername, D&G light blue!
