What perfumes do you use? - Page 18

I've been using this:

But I'm seriously ticked off with the way RL views women's bodies and his obsession with using anorexic models. I've just ran out of this perfume and am thinking of getting this one:

I haven't read this entire thread, so I don't know if it has been mentioned before. I love the way this smells and am saving up to buy it!

I use Lovely by SJP during the day; it smells really nice.
When i go out i normally wear Jean Paul Gautier, i love it!

I've been trying to find an alternative to my all time fave Chanel No.19 but can't find anything that comes close. I've yet to find a "celebrity" perfume that doesn't smell cheap and overpowering (on me) and I still think that overall the French do it best. American perfumes always seem way too sweet and strong and not very subtle but maybe I haven't found the right one yet. Or maybe I have weird skin chemistry that makes everything I try smell like cat pee after about 10 minutes. I've taken to asking people what they are wearing if I notice something really nice on them but it's usually something I've tried and failed with already. I Chanel ever stops making No.19 I am in big trouble.

Sorry for the double post but I don't have an Edit on ^^^^ post.

I went to the local department stores over the weekend and tried all the spiffy new Christmas promotions. Came home smelling like a cheap ho but happy to report that I found my new perfume! It's the new Issy Mayake "Scent" (?) and it's divine.

Fantastic! I'm currently using Ghost Luminous, but I kind of have the same problem with a lot of fragrances, they smell great when you spray them on the little card but I put it on my skin and they smell really overpoweringly of white pepper, it's really odd.

I love all things Issey Mayake.

When it rains, it pours. I've also discovered Light Blue by D&G. It's been around for a while but I tried it last week and I like it. Very light and summery. I also tried the new YSL "Parisienne" and it smells like Windex.

I really want to get a fragrance by Kylie Minogue.

I'm with you on this one! You can't beat a classic, so I wear this every day.

Men's colognes work well on me. Met with a client and had to ask him his scent, which I don't usually do lol. Man by Calvin Klein. Smells good on me, especially if it mixes with the smell of a leather jacket.

I usually don't wear perfumes due to most of them bothering my allergies, so I don't have a regular.
But I've been really wanting "Princess" by Vera Wang.
I love the smell and it doesn't bother my allergies. It seems "fruity" and "woodier" scents don't bother me as really strong floral scents.

I usually don't wear much perfume, because I work form home, but my all time favorite is Donna Karan Cashmere Mist. Sometimes I'll also wear Burberry Weekend.

I am just about out of Dior Addict. I loved it but am ready to try something new. My old standby is Vickie's Secret Very Sexy.

same here. i am still in love with prada's infusion d'homme. and i stole an acqua di parma cologne from my brother last time i saw him because he said he never used it and it smells divine. clean, crisp. none of the sweetness you find in a lot of women's perfumes.
i'm also tempted to start using terre d'hermès. it really does smell like earth.
but i actually have 5 perfumes right now and that's way too much, i don't usually have more than 2 at a time.
