Favourite or Signature Fragrances 2008

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,212 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	It is that time again ( methinks) to have another chat about perfume! So what are we all currently wearing and enjoying, or have discovered? Here is last year's thread - http://www.pricescope.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=66243 I am still loving Caron Tabac Blond in the parfum extrait...sigh.... Also I am still wearing Frederick Malle Lipstick Rose, Caleche by Hermes and I am awaiting a decant of Guerlain Vol de Nuit parfum, looking forward to that one. Recent scrubbers.....Guerlain L'Heure Bleu smells terrible on me, also does Jicky, which is a shame, I was hoping these two classics would work - oh well, can't win them all in perfumery! Nothing is more sacred as the bond between horse and rider...no other creature can ever become so emotionally close to a human as a horse. When a horse dies, the memory lives on because an enormous part of his owner's heart, soul, very existence dies also...but that can never be laid to rest, it is not meant to be... - Stephanie M Thorn

Ellen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 22,894 Last Post: 11/6/2009 Member Since: 1/13/2006	I am still wearing my "Casual" all the time. After a few years, I still get compliments from strangers on it. I did pass a pretty bottle in Macy's the other day, and sprayed meself. It turned out surprisingly subtle and lovely on me, something I rarely find. I might actually get some of this and stray from my signature scent. gasp I won't even attempt a "flowery" description, as it would surely pale in comparison to yours Miss Lorelei. I'll just copy and paste. Lancôme TRÉSOR L'Eau De Toilette Spray This new fragrance brings together the essence of love with a hint of laughter. An exhilarating accord of Apricot Rose and Lilac represents a light and airy interpretation of Trésor, for the lighter side of love. L'eau de toilette is an invigorating fragrance form designed to give a subtle but lingering suggestion of scent. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It is also important for the State to inculcate in its subjects an aversion to any 'conspiracy theory of history' for a search for 'conspiracies' means a search for motives and an attribution of responsibility for historical misdeeds." -Murray N. Rothbard, in The Anatomy of the State John Swinton [1829-1901] Chief Editorial Writer of the New York Times (Considered "the Dean of his Profession" by his peers), when asked to toast an 'Independent Press' in a gathering at the National Press Club, circa 1880 "There is no such thing in America as an independent press unless it is in the country towns. You know it, and I know it. There is not one of you who dare express an honest opinion. If you express it you know beforehand that it would never appear in print. I am paid... for keeping my honest opinions out of the paper I am connected with. Others of you are paid similar salaries for doing similar things.... The business of the New York journalist is to distort the truth, to lie outright, to pervert, to vilify, to fawn at the feet of Mammon, and sell his country and race for his daily bread, or for what is about the same thing, his salary. You know this, and I know it and what foolery to be toasting an 'independent press.' We are tools, and the vassals of rich men behind the scenes. We are jumping-jacks. They pull the strings and we dance. Our time, our talents, our lives, our possibilities, all are the property of other men. We are intellectual prostitutes."

ecf8503 Ideal Rock Total Posts: 1,008 Last Post: 11/13/2009 Member Since: 2/14/2005	Oooh - fun thread! I've been wearing EA Red Door off and on for years, and I always get compliments on it from strangers. Problem is, I don't know if I care for it personally! I like Sung fragrances. I've also been experimenting with samples and decants of various things, and I like one by Diptyque called Do Son. I have also been lucky enough to receive some BPAL (Black Phoenix Alchelmy Lab) decants - YUM!

SanDiegoLady Ideal Rock Total Posts: 14,219 Last Post: 11/23/2009 Member Since: 7/6/2005	I am still wearing Design, but I'm looking for a new scent.. so.. this thread should be helpful. I loved Daisy when I got it sprayed at me in Macy's.. and I never got it last year, so that's still a possibility. My kids still recognize me or think about me by my scent if they smell it anywhere, isn't that funny?

Pandora II Ideal Rock Total Posts: 6,257 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 8/3/2006	Profumo by Acqua di Parma - I wear it always. I do have a couple of bottles of Cologne by Antica Farmacia Santa Maria Novella (I always go there when I'm in Florence) - I have Ginestra and Iris. I used them on sheets when I'm ironing. Is that a waste?

I recently had the DH pick up a bottle of Jo Malone Grapefruit and I am lovin that. And when in the States for our vacay I do plan to shop for fragrance and cosmetics--honestly it IS much cheaper across border than here (yes yes the dollar is equil, so what's up with that.....). I like the Lauder Tuberose GArdenia (afterall) and that is on my list for sure. I am convinced there will be ample choices in Beverly Hills ETA: I went back to see what I was wearing last year, and I am totally off Bucheron! Still like the others and wear Black Orchid often as well. cheers--Sharon "People who possess great qualities, do not need to show off".

AmberGretchen Ideal Rock Total Posts: 7,046 Last Post: 11/11/2009 Member Since: 1/6/2005	I'm still wearing the scents I found in October 2006 on our honeymoon in London. For special occasions, I wear 1707 by Micallef, which comes in a day version and a night version. I love how subtle and complex these are on, and a little goes a long way, so the one bottle of each I got should last me until I make it back over the pond... For everyday, I'm still loving my Annick Goutal Mandragore - its subtle and spicy. I did get some samples of Jo Malone, and while I love them, unfortunately DH doesn't. My two favorites are the lotus blossom and waterlily, and the nectarine and honey scents. They are lovely for very hot days because they are so light and subtle.

Lorelei Ideal Rock Total Posts: 34,212 Last Post: 11/22/2009 Member Since: 4/30/2005	Date: 7/1/2008 12:40:07 PM Author: beau13 My one and only scent is Ralph Lauren's HOT! Love it, the rest of the fragrances are probably going rancid on my shelf. I wish I could find ONE perfume that fits all occasions, but I can't seem to! Although Tabac Blond is my grail, I also love the others I mentioned above, and I am now on a classic Guerlain crusade, very old perfumes appeal to me, ones with a history. I am narrowing the field somewhat now, Tabac Blond is my glamorous evening perfume, Lipstick Rose a fun and very " pink" perfume, Caleche is sharp and elegant, also I forgot Chanel No 5 is always a staple in EDP and parfum.

Cleo Ideal Rock Total Posts: 931 Last Post: 9/21/2008 Member Since: 1/26/2008	Ooooooh! What fun! My absolute favourite is Dior's 'Hypnotic Poison' - which has a fabulous exotic, spicy vanilla-based scent (that all men seem to lurrrrve!) and which I can't get enough of. I also love & wear Agent Provocateur and Chanel No 5. I still love Obsession, but only wear that in the winter as it's such a lovely incense-y warm smell. I love spicy and oriental smells - rarely wear very floral scents and never wear anything fruity. My FI loves the smell of Body Shop's White Musk (bizarre, I know but I think his first ever childhood g/f wore it!) so I sometimes wear it as a bit of a treat for him. ;) He also really loves a perfume called "Two Hearts Beating as One" which is a stunning rose & jasmine scent he finds irresistible. Linky. I'm inspired & going to have to go & put some more perfume on now! x x x
