Used to love Estee Lauder's Spellbound, but now I find it to be too heavy. My new favorite is called "Pure Soap" by Demeter. I can only buy it on-line. It really smells like soap and gives you that just showered smell.

My favorite fragrance is Tiffany of New York.

We had out of town vistors and played golf at Havanna and then had dinner. About half way through dinner a group of people were seated across from us. Within seconds the aroma of perfume permeated our breathing space. I am certain the carrier was more pleased with her selection then were we. This experience is becoming too familar in these parts and I hope folks who do feel a need to use perfume, etc recognize that less is more.

I personally rely on anti-perspirant, body wash and shampoo...To each his/her own.

Chanel Madamoiselle...love it.

Dove soap and Colgate toothpaste.

The same for guys. I do NOT like perfumed scent on men.

It isn't needed
 

I have to agree with Gracie Girl. Nothing is by far the best. There are a lot of us that actually become ill when exposed to strong scents, even those meant to be pleasant. More and more workplaces are requiring scents not to be detected more than 6 feet away. It is terrible when someone walks through a lobby area and you can still smell the perfume an hour later. Elevators are the worst.

Just something to think about, I read a couple of research projects as someone gets older they don't notice smells as well, which results in some women using more and more perfume as they get older.

I'm truly not trying to rain on your parade here. My wife has always been frustrated that I would prefer she not wear anything, and I don't complain when she does. But you can be hurting others if you go too overboard with the fragrance.

I am one who gets instant migraines from being exposed to most perfumes. As others have said, it could be from the next table at a restaurant, totally ruining my dining experience. If only you knew!
Doesn't matter if the scents are expensive or cheap.... it's the synthetics they are made with that cause the problem. I have actually had to eliminate some surely very nice people from my social circle, because I couldn't take their perfume!!! So sad!

PLEASE consider trying essential oils as an alternative.... REAL ones, made from one ingredient....roses, oranges, spearmint, basil, clove, cedar or something like that. Health food stores carry them and they will NOT offend the way synthetics do, unless of course you are allergic to the actual plant. A drop smeared between two wrists is all that is needed. Body heat does the rest.

Although I don't wear them, I have often placed a drop or two, usually spearmint (with an eyedropper) inside the cardboard roll of the toilet tissue in my powder room before a party. Fresh smelling without being intrusive. LOTS of compliments on THAT..... and NO migraine.

Then there is good old REAL vanilla extract placed behind each earlobe. People will think you're just yummy.... and won't even know why!!!

Euphoria by Calvin Klein
Chanel #5

I like only fresh light scents. Usually wear Clinique - Happy or Perry Ellis - 360. Had a hard time finding 360 the last time I purchased it. Finally found it at Sams.

Joy by Jean Patou

Eternity and Euphoria by Calvin Klein

I was a Fragrance Model for Dillards in 1994 in Tallahassee, Florida. I modeled fragrances by Liz Clabourn, Givenchy, Faragamo, and Tiffany of New York. Tiffany is my all time favorite.

My favorite is whatever my wife is wearing! She loves Obcession. Mmmmm, mmmmmm.

I have used and loved Aromatix Elixer for years and years. I still love it when I pass someone else who is wearing it, but can no longer smell it on myself. It's made by Clinique. They also make one called Happy that I like for summer (but not as much) I think it smells like gingerale!
