That's exactly what I was thinking!!!


Because of work, my scent is probably Eau du Jet-A!
Which is NOT a good thing.

i'm sure they must smell differently to the people who like them
Now that you put it that way, I think I'm the same way, too: it's not so much the strength, but the smell. And Sunflowers is a bad one for me, too -- my mother really likes it, and finally I had to tell her it was triggering my migraines. Once I get a whiff of it, that's it -- I'm down for the rest of the day.

I love fragrances. Flowery ones tend to give me a severe headache, so I tend to stick with more spicey undertones. I'm lucky that my body chemistry allows me to wear pretty much any fragrarnce.


Sexual Perfume for Women by Michel Germain
- I didn't like this one when I first smelled it. To be honest when I first smelled the fragrance card it smelled like gasoline! After about 40 minutes of sampling all kinds of fragrances on sample cards, and going back to smell each one periodically, I settled on one that I really really loved! Surprise! It was the one that initially smelled like gasoline! LOL Turns out that note in the fragrance vanishes very quickly and the perfume is one of my favourites.

Raffinee Perfume by Dana
- I've always loved this perfume. It's hard to find now so I have to buy it at specialty fragrance shops. But it's worth it! It has a nice spicey/cinnamon scent that is not over powering.


Poison Perfume by Christian Dior
- I love this perfume on me. However, I've smelled this fragrance on some women and it really smelled like gerbil shavings on them. That was my introduction to the perfume actually. I used to work in an office and the boss's daughter used to come in and help out occasionally. She always smelled like gerbil shavings. One day I asked her casually about the scent she was wearing in my attempt to get her to notice that she smells like her gerbils. Turns out that it was "Poison" perfume. It really stunk on her


FEMINITE DU BOIS perfume by Shiseido
- Probably my favourite next to Raffinee. It has a nice spicey/cedar /orange blossom fragrance. It's hard to find and I have to buy it at specialty fragrance shops or have it ordered in special.

I'm hooked on Guanahani (it's a perfume out of the Bahamas). While DH loves the scent, he's never very happy when I have to special order it into Canada.

Perfume sometimes gives me a headache if I wear it (but not if I smell it briefly on someone else). I try to stick to lighter scents and body sprays. I am usually known as the "Warm Vanilla Sugar girl" I LOVE that stuff! I am also stuck on Coconut Lime Verbena and Creamy Coconut! Mmmmmm! I like smelling like yummy things!!!

I have to be really careful about perfumes...I'm allergic to a lot of them, especially anything with musk.

DH loves White Shoulders, so I usually wear that on weekends or when I'm with him.

I mix up the stuff I wear the rest of the time. I'm currently rotating:
-Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden
-Sunflowers by Elizabeth Arden (though it makes me itch if I wear it more than one day a week)
-Happy Heart by Clinique
-Shine on Me (I don't know who makes it...I got it as a gift)
-Eat Me by a friend of my brother's (He has a friend that makes essential oil perfumes and had her make up this special scent just for me...which she named "Eat Me". It's a mix of floral and homey smells and I just love it!)

I like Dior Addict too, and the new Lucky Number Six, I forget who makes it. I have a bottle of Opium that I wear on occasion too... Sunflowers is nice as well, but I haven't worn it in ages.

most of my perfumes are actually body sprays. i love victoria's secret amber romance, pear glace, and i have a few others. i also like bath & body works sensual amber (i think that's the name), sweet pea, and a couple others.

the only actual perfume i have is a britney spears one. i like the way it smells. and even more important, my DH really likes how it smells.
i can't remember what it's called though.

bath and body works sweet pea!!

i cant wear or be around anything spicy there are several older ladies that come to our store and they always smell like they took a bath in some of the spicy perfumes i always turn the register off and let someone else take the order cause i will get an instant severe headache and start sneezing like crazy. i have to sick with the softer scents but they cant be too sweet either cause i will get a headache with them too.

I don't have an opportunity to wear much perfume but I usually wear

Seringa by Floris -I first discovered it in London and had a friend buy it for me but now I can find it here in the US

Michael by Michael Kors

I like the smell of the new Coach perfume too.

I would like to buy some of Jo Malone's scents like Lime Basil and Mandarin or French Lime Blossom

When I was in Vegas last I stopped at a store in Caesar's Palace called Penhaligon and the clerk gave me a sample of Artemisia that I like too.
