| My alltime favorites are Pheromone by Marilyn Miglin, Destiny by Marilyn Miglin and Chanel No 5. For a change of pace, I also like Sunflowers and nearly anything by Alfred Sung. |

I love perfume and have loads but the only fresh scents I like are Clarins Eau Dynamisante and Johnsons Baby Lotion!
My other favorites are:
Angel 
Stella McCartney Rose Absolute
Ghost Deep Night
Dior Midnight Poison
lolita lempicka
L'occitane patchouli
Basically I am very likely to love anything with lots of patchouli in!
I know these aren't quite perfumes but I also love these sented body lotions:
These two go great with my fave fragrances above:
Lush Karma Cream (patchouli again!)
Body Shop Rich Plum Body Butter (just wonderful with the Ghost Deep Night)
These are great alone!
Body Shop Coconut Body Butter (Men just love the smell of this)
Palmers Coco Butter (smells like chocolate)
Others I like:
Dolce & Gabbana Sicily
Anna Sui Dolly Girl
Anni Sui Love
Stila Creme Bouquet
Angel Inncocent
Lancome Aroma Calm Spray
Body Shop Strawberry Oil
Body shop Coconut Oil
I may not always look great but at least I smell nice! |

pandora, you are a perfume tart! 
I like the clarins as well actually, though I don't think of it as perfume.
Don't mind patchouli, but really really hate Angel 
have a few imps from the black pharmacy as well which are quite nice... |

From a man's point of view I have to say that nothing gets my attention like a woman who is wearing "Escape" by CK.

mmmm never been that keen on the CK ones. I think it's cos I'm more of a perfume woman than an edt type. I like the way perfumes build up depth and linger.
A few weeks back a bloke approached me in the street and told me that I smelled divine which made my day! And goes to show if something is 80 plus years old it can still be very potent! |

You are totally right guapagirl I am a hussy when it comes to perfume .
Looking at my list is enough to make even me feel a migraine coming on!
I don't really get the fuss about CK scents either I think they are boring, however it really does depend on the the persons own body chemistry and how it reacts to the perfume. I find lighter scents just disappear on me I need something a little heavier / darker. |

Dumb question time - do you perfume 'ho's' (meant only in the friendliest of terms of course, lol) find your scents preferences chance with the seasons?
I have a friend who insists that she has 4 seasonal type scents. Personally, I'm lucky to find 2 that I am happy with. |

Hi candy!
Rather sadly I have been wearing my TB whatever the weather and whatever the context. Which is silly cos at over $100 an oz I should eke it out a bit.
On really really hot days I did wear my eau dynamisante though  |

| My all time favorite is Spring Flowers by Creed. My tastes pretty much stay the same, regardless of the season. I'm a creature of habit |

I like a clean scent. My favorites are:
CK "Be".......summer, days, anytime.
Il Baccio.....my newest favorite, anytime.
Opium.........sexy nights + winter.
Compliments from men with "Opium"
Compliments from women with "Il Baccio" |

Hey Candy
I have some BP imps in various musky scents but am not too wild about them. They are ok, but they just don't have the earthy complexity of caron ones. That said, they are a fraction of the price!
Ebay used to sell decants but they have got a bit weird about it now, especially in the states. fragarantfripperies.com or theperfumedcourt.com sell decants so you may be able to get your creed there. Frag frips used to sell lots of not for export stuff as well and you get really great samples too. Though I wish I hadn't had the the santa maria de novella sample! It's too good! |

Here you go, Candy. This is a fabulous little shop in London. The staff are incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, and they do sell your Creed Selection Verte.
http://www.lessenteurs.com/
They also have a sample programme and will send you little decants for a small charge.
Let me know if you need any help with it. |

| guapa - Les Senteurs are about to stock a line called Etat Libre d'Orange. It sounds incredibly intriguing and kind of adventurous. I can't wait to try their scents. I reckon it'd be right up your street too. |

| My all time favorite for many many years is the old perfume made by Lancome called Climat. It was discontinued, and now only available at Saks or NM. But nothing is quite like it. |

You're very welcome, sweetheart. I love unusual perfumes, particularly as the high street ones virtually all smell awful on me. I have to search considerably further to find something that goes with my body chemistry, and I just can't do florals, no matter how hard I try. |
