I've discovered two really lovely perfumes recently. As you guys may remember, I have an uber-sensitive sense of smell and can't wear most perfumes and scented lotions. (Usually I just stick to Baby Bee lotion and solid perfume. Burt's, are you listening?? Bring back my Baby Bee solid perfume!!!!) However, I've discovered that I can wear a few very simple scents by first spraying them on a cotton pad, and then touching the cotton pad ever so slightly to my wrist so I only get a drop of fragrance on my skin. (Are you guys glad you aren't me yet??) Recently the two fragances that I discovered I can wear this way are Demeter's Waffle Cone and Serendipity 3's Serendipitous. Both are very similar scents actually--- I detect a vanilla ice cream note in both of them. Waffle Cone is mostly vanilla to me, while Serendipitous is vanilla with marshmallow and milk chocolate. However, NEITHER of them are overly sweet. Overly sweet scents, like most vanilla perfumes, pink sugar, etc etc make me sick to my stomach. These two are light and wearable though, and very yummy. Serendipitous also has some SERIOUS staying power! I applied it to my wrist last night after my shower, and now 24 hours later I can still smell it! It comes in a gorgeous bottle too, so I think it would be a great gift---- I'm already planning on getting a bottle for my Mom for M-day instead of the usual chocolates. The Waffle Cone bottle on the other hand isn't as fancy, but the perfume itself is cheap so it's a great way to treat yourself without spending $$. |

My all time favorite right now is my Tiffany. I ADORE it and I have NEVER gotten SO MANY compliments when wearing it.
It's sooo fabulous. I love love love it. Even my Mademoiselle didn't get me so many "oooh you smell so good!" compliments. |

I am loving Philosophy's "Falling In Love" right now. There are many Demeter fragrances I covet as well...Waffle Cone, Mojito, & Grass to name a few...I even like Dirt but I draw the line at "Playdough". What's next, "paste"? |

OMG! I totally adore Calvin Klein's Euphoria! The straight Euphoria, not the Euphoria Blossom... It smells soooooooooo good! and it's fun to turn yourself on don'tyaknow.. LOLOL. Like Scally, I too prefer the spicy/oriental scents. I love Royal Secret by Germaine Monteil and Opium by YSL. These are the three I always keep coming back to...Oh I forgot the other one--and this is the one men seem to like best--Interlude by Frances Denney. All of these have the spicy/oriental notes. |

Victoria's secret Angel. It's cheap, but nice and slightly vanilla scented. Easily accepted by most people. |

Definantly Dolce & Gabbanna Light Blue. People ask me ALL the time what I am wearing - and it's not that strong of a scent (I hate too strong of scents) |

I love CK Eternity (summer edition) and Moschino. Both of them make me feel so refresh and won't be too 'sweet', I think they are really good for 20s girls like me. |

Anna Sui - Secret Wish
It's pretty hard to find a right one, have been bought a lots of perfume in sample size or full size and finally all given to mum. Thought would like Michael Kor when it announced, rushed to get one and tried the gift sample size ......then not loving too much at all, now the entirely whole bottle still in the drawer. Recently considering to try a new one by Sarah Jessica Parker (the lady of Sex in the City)..... |
