your top perfumes/after shaves

[Randetica]

i hardly ever find something i like

but here are my top three:

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p137/randetica/ulric-varens_lily-prune.jpg

lily prune! pretty much my life goal to get them in all colors
had vanilla, cotton musk and exotic wood so far

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p137/randetica/NIKE_W.jpg

nike woman! nuff said

http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p137/randetica/naomi_campbell_catdeluxe50_o.jpg

cat deluxe! by naomi campbell, not that i like her but she must smell nice and so does this perfume
it's more of a winter smell i think

[abcdefz]

I think I only have three in my cabinet. The oldest one is about gone after, um, five or six years. It's something whiskey-colored by Perry Ellis. Then Kenneth Cole Reaction (?), then the most embarrassingly-bottled and -named but really great smelling Le Male, by somebody. Yves St. Laurent maybe? I dunno.

[abcdefz]

Old Spice gets kind of a bad rap. I don't know about this arctic smell, but Old Spice itself smells okay. People who use it tend to use just waaaaaayyy too much of it.

[Caribou]

I'm normally not the perfumey type, but I got a gift certificate from my boss and just bought this one:

http://www.johnlewis.com/jl_assets/product/230402453.jpg

DKNY. It smells kinda sweet.

[QueenAdrock]

I don't know what mine is called. It smells lightly of oranges and suntan lotion and reminds me of being at the beach, and it's not strong at all so it's nice.

Oh, and Bath & Body Works Moonlight Path body spray...which when looking for a picture on their website I've found out that they've discontinued the spray. :(

[Randetica]

owned!

[Yorkshire~Rose]

My perfume of choice at the moment - Armani Code. I love it.

[DIGI]

Prince has a perfume on the way.

[abcdefz]

"Black Sweat," I think it's called.

The greenie is th cheapest deodorant ever (0.69€), but I like the funny jungle smell.

Does that bottle front left say Roma HOMO on it?

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

:D

[QueenAdrock]

Ah, Hugo. The first guy I ever had a serious crush on wore Hugo and one day he's like "You should get Hugo for Women" so I did and wore it for an entire year of high school. Brings back memories whenever I smell either.

[abcdefz]

That's my aftershave on the right.

[QueenAdrock]

It sounds hurty.

[abcdefz]

It's fantastic. Doesn't hurt at all. Very clean, doesn't smell, good for ya. (y)

[abcdefz]

It's fantastic. Doesn't hurt at all. A little tingle, if the skin's been hurt.

It's Roma Uomo. My dad has a bottle. I always thought it said Homo too. :o

hahahhhaha i prefer the thought of him smelling like a baby jungle monkey instead of worn out ass lol but i would love him anyway..i think..

I have the be delicious green one. I bought it cause its less sugary.

This is the best smelling lotion ever, pure citrus goodness. and its a milk so its not super thick and sticky

I'm dating a nectar nazi who works at Macy's', these smell great....I actually like the Eau De Cartier Cologne, it's fantastic. The other are in descending order of likeness, with the Fahrenheit being the one the cosmetic counter girls say a guy will most likely attract females wearing it.

[DIGI]

Alright! We get it! It's good and fantastic. Sheesh!!!


hahahaha.

Anyway, I think Prince's perfume's called 3121. Not positive on this. Black Sweat (hahaha). I'd look it up, but I'm at work. How am I on here, you say? I don't know.

[Otis Driftwood]

Does that bottle front left say Roma HOMO on it?
:D
Haha, sure looks that way. All the expensive stuff is christmas presents, amazingly enough, the girls like the cheap after shave smells like Wilkinson or Aldi brand far more than any fancy name brand stuff. Lots of "pepsi testing" proved it!

[Otis Driftwood]

[Drederick Tatum]

http://www.4-fragrances.com/men/lagerfeld-m.jpghttp://images2.nordstrom.com/ImageGallery/store/Product/Medium/14/_49334.jpg

both were gifts...from the same person. don't wear either of them much, but the Lagerfeld is pretty classic. the Gautier though, kinda looks like I should be out banging sailors or something.

NARCISSE ON A WOMAN...


... END OF STORY

[RoryMC]

I used to wear a lot of Tommy Hilfiger, Joop and Gaultier but the latter 2 were always overpowering and suffocating if I slapped a lot on.

So far this year I've been wearing Caroline Herrera 212 for men and Calvin Klein Crave.

i had happy for a long time but i just didn't like it, ended up giving it away to a friend :\

i've worn this one for years. it's apparently my signature scent, because the boyfriend absolutely loves it and insists i wear it.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41EARJXAWTL._SS500_.jpg

the "urrday" (lavender, that is)

Mania is fantastic. I have to see what Code smells like, as the package is nice looking.

http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/41FB3MNDMZL._AA280_PIbundle-6,TopRight,0,0_AA280_SH20_.jpg

Tried it on a whim. Works very well, actually.

[beastieangel01]

I hate hate hate admitting it but
http://media.musictoday.com/store/bands/157/product_medium/BRAM05.jpg
is the one I use.

I think perfumes smell different on people. Maybe it's body chemistry or something. But for this one, people say it smells amazing on me. I constantly get compliments on how nice I smell and/or they ask me what I have on.

sometimes I wear this one:

I just got some of that this weekend. Store had in on sale for two bucks. Haven't tried it yet, either -- still have some other stuff left over.

Ah! -- it wasn't red zone. Or was it? Seems like it was a different flavor.

[Otis Driftwood]

Isn't that the one with ad: "This man loves sheep" ?

[abcdefz]

"Sleep." (y)

[ET]

The actual flavor is called "after hours" but I think Red Zone is like a sub brand of Old Spice?

Shower gels for dudes should not be this confusing.

[abcdefz]

...that's why they include instructions. (y)




...but, yeah. This Old Spice shower stuff I got smells nothing like Old Spice (which, I insist, is good in way moderation). It's pretty light, ocean sort of small. Like rotting, dieting barnacles.


That joke sucked.

[Otis Driftwood]

This guy LOVES sheep I tell you:

The Science of Sheep.

Is that Britney's fragrance? It looks girly and I can see you being ashamed of admitting it.

But yeah, perfumes smell different on everyone because of the pheromones you naturally produce. They have this pheromone-responsive stuff that I tried one time that smells different for every person, depending on their chemistry. It smelled flowery for me, it smelled musky and spicy on my guy friend. Apparently it smells really melon-y when girls getting close to their periods put it on.

Either way, it was cool.

[abcdefz]

...like the mood ring of parfume, eh?

When I was in my early 20's I always wore this:

http://www.osmoz.fr/statique/5th/Fragrance_Heroes/anais.jpg

then my hormones changed and it started smelling really bad on me.


Now I only use this daily:

I have these four on the go at the moment but I have worn the Marc Jacobs for years. I love it.

[DandyFop]

I don't wear anything ever. I have some floating around here probably but I couldn't tell you what kind it was.

I will say that Old Spice deodorant on guys = :o

Maybe I should give some of this isht a try

[kll]

http://www.azoli.ru/img/2bpic_parf/6349.jpg


I LOVE LOVE this for summertime... I got this last summer and need new!



but, this has been my signature scent since 2002...

http://i79.photobucket.com/albums/j123/klloughlin/lightblue.jpg

[Randetica]

depends on the strength of the perfume you're wearing, too. Eau de toilette is the weakest, then it's eau de parfum and the strongest is pure perfume. so with pure perfume you only need a little dab on either side of your neck because it has the highest alcohol content. people who wear eau de toilette tend to spray a ton of the stuff on them because it has the lowest alcohol content.

if you're spraying a ton of perfume on yourself then please remember to properly moisturise your neck and chest before using your perfume, the skin on your neck is very delicate. just look at the old women walking around with dry, crepey necks and chests, evidence of the years of damage they've done to themselves by spraying on tons of perfume

i can easily smell it on others but i have 100% alcohol perfumes even and still cant smell it on me!

and i sometimes spray that stuff on my skin and hairs but the strong perfumes only go on my clothes since my skin is very sensitive

[na§tee]

smell is a funny thing. there are situations where a smell can bring back a flood of memories you have locked up away in your head. some can even make me go weak at the knees the connotations i have with them. so i always found it important to be associated with a smell so people can be like "oh yeah, that smells of CLAIRE", and i have apparently been successful ; )

i have been wearing this since i was about 15. this is my signature scent. it is very rich and some would say a bit sweet, very evening-y, but i love it. if i give a friend a hug who i haven't seen in a long time and i am wearing this, they will comment on it:
http://www.comanalysis.ch/Images/PUBLICATIONS/PUBLICATION36/Diorhypnoticgd.jpg

have been wanting to get a good 'day' perfume for a while to get and POSSESS. i love love was great, i had that for a while, but i smelt this in paris:
http://216.13.60.134/cata/Images/Image1.jpg
and oh my jesus it is delicious. try em out girls.

cosmetic advertising is also a pretty curiously interesting thing.

.

this is such a great quote!

i wore a perfume in high school that was very expensive for a "kid" to wear and everyone knew it was me, since no one else really had it.

this thread has actually brought back many memories by seeing what all of you wear and reminding me of times i wore or have smelled that perfume at great events. i love coming across a scent by accident, then being overwhelmed by the memories.

[cosmo105]

oh my gosh, i know. if i smell vanilla lipsmackers body spray (shut up) i'm back in 6th grade with a huge crush on Raymond (i was the student body vice president, he was the president. siiiiigh). if i smell this old teenie perfume i used to wear - i can't even remember the name - i'm back in 8th grade with a broken heart over James. :( if i smell a really cheap girlie perfume that i got at hot topic or miller's outpost years ago, i'm back at the Glasshouse giggling with my friends outside between bands. if i smell Catalyst for men i'm lounging by the pool with Jeremy, and if i smell Cool Water for men i'm thinking of breaking up with Kenny, haha.

http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t304/beastiegrrrl/1-8.jpg

its not really perfume but it smells like some heavenly shit! and only like 15 bucks a bottle at victoria secret

body spray is like the perfume training bra lol

Yeah I am ashamed :( but!
pheromones are neat.
like I said, on me it smells really great I guess. So I keep it. Though I try to not tell people what it is when they ask me haha. Same with the pokemon ball one :p I get compliments on that one as well. I want to find something new but they have been tried and true for over the past year. I, like Claire, like that I leave a lasting impression with the scent I wear. I once got a text message "I can smell you on my clothes and it's so unfair that I cannot see you right now"

hehe :o

Just got some of issey miyake's l'eau d'issey pour homme for my upcoming b-day. it's a million times better than the polo blue i was wearing.

[HEIRESS]

Nina by Nina Ricci:
http://perfumeauction.net/images/Nina%20by%20Nina%20Ricci%20for%20Women.jpg
deep apply scent but not too sweet. I wear it mostly in the winter or on evenings out.


Fruits & Passion's Pink:
http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_jhwl0m2h33w/R6aSMBQ5bZI/AAAAAAAABbI/8PypGXtP6sU/s400/PinkEaudetoilette.jpg
errryday type wear. yeah yeah it's called "pink" but it's perfectly light and delicious. It's a Canadian brand too.

I also wear their scent "human" for the gym and such because it's quite a unisex neutral smell:
http://ca.fruits-passion.com/images/produits/human8_b.jpg
my fiance has the men's version, but I'll wear both because they are quite similar.

I've been wearing this on my wrists lately and getting compliments:
http://www.naturalfactors.com/images/PIM/NF/Products/904__1__Feature.png
it's a blend of:
Lavender – relieves tension, depression, and exhaustion, and enhances sleep
Bergamot – combats anxiety and nervous tension
Frankincense – calms breathing and restores relaxation
Spearmint – relieves stress, fatigue, and nervousness

Fuck yeah, frankincense!

I've also been using a lavendar blend on all my bedding at night and I almost can't sleep without it now. it's just so darn comforting :)

[gbsuey]

i tried the Nina Ricci one, and the Ricci Ricci but they're too strong for me. I always go back to the DKNY Be Delicious original, allthough the new Fresh Blossom version is nice too..if a bit ickyhttp://farm5.static.flickr.com/4017/4318638346_6e23579138_o.jpg
