Originally Posted By Ursula I wear perfume everyday and I have about 10 bottles that I switch between. The worst was one I bought because the bottle was pretty. I know, lousy excuse, but I'll have to check the name of it later. My favorite so far is Chanel No. 5. I also wore Allure for a year and loved that. Coco was good, too. The strangest one is the one by Baby Phat. My husband smelled a bunch of perfumes (and he is not a label guy and would never be swayed by who makes it-he just wanted to buy me the best smelling one) and loved this and bought it. When I opened the present, I was all "you bought me a rapper perfume?" But I smelled it and I honestly love it. And it's pink. So, my other favorites are: Poison, L'air duTemps (spelling?), AnaisAnais, Love's Baby Soft (STILL!), Amor by Cacheral, and one called Ocean that I bought at the DL perfume shop before it closed and I still have almost a full bottle since it's very, very strong. The worst ever, ever? Brittany Spears' perfume.
Originally Posted By Lisann22 I agree with Mele - Musk is just horrid. Makes me gag. I wear Chanel 22. I used to wear it daily but I found it makes me cough, so now only once in awhile. I generally only wear lavendar and gardenia now. Both are body rinses that have a faint linger. I am finding that as I get older I'm more sensitive to perfumes and they bother me.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka My mom was really sensitive to perfumes so I tend to only wear faint scents, if anything. I bought a candle at Target last night that supposedly smells like "new cotton". I LOVE it. I keep taking the lid off of the jar and smelling it. I wish I could find soap/lotion/spray in this scent.
Originally Posted By LacyBelle Like you, Lisann, I'm also having trouble with perfumes as I get older. Scents I wore for years suddenly make me sneeze. I've pretty much abandoned perfumes for scented lotions. Fruity scents, not flowery or perfumy. It's made my nose much happier.
Originally Posted By Bucky N Satchel BAD- The stuff my former m-i-l used to wear (Paris?) and any fragrance that's someone has seemingly bathed themselves in. GOOD- I can't think of any brands, but fragrences with a fresh or natural scent (used sparingly).
Originally Posted By avromark BAD - rip off brands, Odour de No Deodorant or anything. Good - Ralph Lauren, Alfred Sung... One or two small sprays. Yes I am a simpleton.
Originally Posted By melekalikimaka Oops, my new candle obsession is called "Fresh Cotton" not "new".
Originally Posted By Goofyernmost Good...I love the smell of Chantilly! Sadly, as I age I usually only get to experience the fragrant Ode VapoRub and BenGuay (sp?)! Bad...I don't know the name of it but it smells like a combination of plastic and lipstick. If I could find the name of it, I would buy every bottle and immediately destroy them.
