I have Louis Vuitton Attrapes Revés and my family hates it.
I have LV Roses de vents and they all love it.
Hmmm.

I love anything that is heavy on the citrus. The problem with that though is that citrus/lemon scents fade really fast and don't have much staying power.
Current 3 favourites are: MAISON MARGIELA - Under The Lemon Tree Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue - Italian Zest and a recent addition is Chopard Happy - Lemon Dolce

Polo in the green bottle! I am not a fan of perfumes but love men's cologne! My daughters are the same. Perfume is too strong for us!

I'm another who loves Bobbi Brown Beach. People online complain that it smells like drugstore Coopertone, and who knows, maybe it does, but I just love it. I got this last Christmas and I have really liked being able to wear a bunch of difference scents without much committment. www.maisonmargiela-fragrances.us/en/product/608810/replica-memory-box

Estée Lauder Beautiful is my all time favourite. I always go back to this one.
My other favourite is YSL Cinema. I always get nice comments when I wear that one.

I love these perfumes: Chanel Chance Eau Tendre (the one that comes in pink) Chloe perfume, the one that smells like roses Jo Malone English Pears and Freesia Fresh Sugar Lychee That’s so funny - the only ones I have are Jo Malone Pears and Freesia and Chloe in the rose scent. I love both of them. Though I don’t think Jo Malone lasts longer which is a bummer.

Pink Sugar. I wore Este Lauder Super forever. Switched to Donna Karan, Cashmere Mist. Pink Sugar seems to fit me more now.

I have a hard time finding perfumes I can wear because of my allergies to oranges and apples. I've had to give up quite a few. Like the Laura Ashley No. 1 I wore on my wedding day, Clinique Happy, Ralph Lauren Romance, Christian Dior Dune...
I adore the hair care line Oribe's signature scent. They make hair oils like Gold Lust you can also use on your skin, and then they came out with Côte d'Azur perfume. I emailed and asked if it was the same fragrance as in their hair care products and was told yes. But it has a musk scent the hair care products don't have. I'm not a fan, although it is an expensive smelling musk. I just don't like musky fragrances.
The original scent is available in hand cream and a new Gold Lust all over oil. I have the Gold Lust hair oil and just love it. I use it more for scent than as a hair oil. I'll rub it on my arms and neck and then smooth down fly away hair with the oil residue still left on my palms. They also have a Côte d'Azur hair refreshing spray that smells like the original scent. So I use that as fragrance as well. I don't like strong fragrance, but using the Oribe products gives me a light scent that isn't overwhelming.
The scent smells like me but better. I also use and love their Royal Blowout heat styling spray, supershine moisturizing cream (I often rub some on my arms and neck before the Gold Lust oil), the perennial beauty editor favorite Dry Texture spray, and the Côte d'Azur refreshing spray. I tried a travel size bottle of Maximista volumizer spray, but I don't think it's worth the money. The Impérmeable Anti-Humdity spray is amazing for hot, humid weather. I like that it's a fine mist instead of a serum so it doesn't weight down my hair.
Oribe doesn't sell a shine spray, but my stylist suggested Sebastian Professional Dark Oil fragrant mist shine spray, and the scents mix together really well.
The ingredients list of Oribe products gives you the impression that it's going to be fruity and cloyingly sweet, but it isn't. I don't like those types of fragrances. It's very sophisticated and dries down to a powdery finish. I think it would smell amazing with Jo Malone Wood Sage and Sea Salt.

Has anyone tried Lost Cherry by Tom Ford? It sounds like it would be amazing, or just way too sweet to me. Normally I’d order the roller ball to try it, but I don’t want to spend $75.00 on it only to dislike it.

The one I’ve worn the longest is Tresor by Lancôme. Still love it, and will continue to wear it some as it’s DH’s favorite by far, but have been shopping for another for a while now.
So far I really like these, but haven’t found a new favorite:
- Versace’s Bright Crystal & Dylan Blue
- Armani Acqua di Gioia (Opening up with the clean, fresh perfume of citrus, the eau de parfum reveals a heart of intoxicating jasmine fragrance and lingers with a scent of warm cedarwood)
- I combine the Atelier vanilla and orange scents to smell like a dreamsicle. There is another in the collection I like as well.
- Daisy Love is sweet and I enjoy wearing it, but it won’t be a staple for me.
I am drawn to citrusy, clean scents, but would like something a little warmer or more sensual. Don’t like much of a powdery scent, and there is one that I have such a bad visceral reaction to I’d almost think I was allergic, I am pretty sure it’s patchouli. (From my notes, I first noticed it in this cologne. Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace ~ Burn it. This was HORRIBLE and made me feel sick automatically). Would love any recommendations!

My all time favorite was Magnetism by Escada. Been discontinued a long time. I have about half a bottle left and I only wear it on very special occasions. My go to’s now are Candy Kiss by Prada and Hypnotic Poison by Dior.

I wear Amazing Grace by Philosophy, and Juicy Courture. I used to wear Light Blue but for some reason stopped. I think I was just tired of it.

It’s really really sweet, it smells like cherry candy to me.

My absolute favorite perfume is Ciara 200 strength but it has been discontinued so I wear Ciara 100 strength. Chanel no. 5 on occasion. And everytime I wear White Shoulders someone will stop me and say I smell so good.

I smelled in it Nordstrom recently and didn't hate it. I don't think that's a ringing endorsement, but I would love to get a sample and try it. Now, the Bitter Peach on the other hand, that was foul. Absolute garbage smelling. I felt like a criminal bending down and exposing my nose for like half a second to take a quick sniff!
