Smells.

I tend to wear Cerruti 1881 these days, and I love it. If I want something a bit stonger and spicy I will go for Clinique Aromatics Elixir and I also like Clinique Happy.

I remember having some Opium perfume in the 80's, it was really popular then, but it makes me gag now. My mate always wore Poison, and it used to knock me sick.

I'm really fussy with perfumes and it takes me ages to find one that I like. Sales people usually run for cover when I enter a perfumerie. On men I like L'eau d'Issey (or whatever it's called)....

I could never afford expensive perfume in the 80's and early 90's, so me and my sis used to go halves on a copy of Cosmo, rip out the sniff pages of all the new perfumes and rub them all over ourselves for a night out.... A different designer perfume every night for about a quid.... Bargain or what!!!!!!:D
 
I think it was Aqua Manda Willow, i used to use it when i was a teenager. I ended up with four bottles of the stuff one christmas.

Isn't persomal taste a funny thing? Someone I used to work with must have taken "splash it all over" far too literally and put me off Brut for life. :eek:


Mmmmmm yes 1881 is lovely.


Yes! I think that orange thing was by Coty but what the flippin heck was it?

I know im like that too :o pmsl
 
Can't stand any overpowering perfume at all. Someone I know wears tons of the stuff and when I've been in her company for even a short while I can smell it on me.

I was once paid a big compliment and told that I didn't smell of anything except 'clean'. Sorry, but I always think that people who wear too much perfume are trying to mask some other sort of smell.
 
wish i could wear perfume there are some lovely ones around but unfortunatly im allergic to em all ... & men have some lovely smellies too these days.:(

yep your right mez ! what about good owd fashioned body odour, lovely healthy smelly feet,huummm!whats wrong with using coal tar soap...he...hee that lingered for ever,wearing scent only appeals when it suits the wearer!everyones body chemicals are differant so you may like it on someone else but it pongs on you!:D
 
i like amarige de givenchy...

for my birthday i got a very tall slim bottle called flower by kenzo ,with a poppy on it 'thats lovely'
for men i like good old fashioned arromiss,ermmmmmmm nice
 
I dont know what the perfume i use is - theres no name on the bottle all i know is that its estee lauder but i dont wear it that often anyway only when im going out. I'm not one that will use it all the time. A bottle of perfume lasts me ages sometimes i even end up throwing a bottle out because its smell has gone awol!
 
i love flowers by kenzo....
on men i love diesel (in the red bottle) and lynx africa! i do find that i follow some men around like the kids on the bisto advert if they smell nice...ive ended up in some very embarrasing places doing that!! ;)
 
Yes it was Aquamanda......iwas just about to post the name when I noticed that Janet had beaten me to it. I like Clinique Aromatics Elixir......I wear it for me, but strangely I can never smell it on me.......I also like Flowers by Kenzo........I like Lagerfeld for women, but never seem to see it unless I go abroad.......and there was a perfume I bought in Spain.....it was called Hash.......I loved that, but haven't seen any for a long time.
 
i wear hugo boss Deep Red, and Eternity, and i wear So for my everyday perfume there are a few people where i work that are not very good with hygene and i dont want to walk past and it be mistaken for me!! (nightmare).

I buy daddiboo Lacoste, and blue water.
 
I don't know if people in London stink more than they do here, or it might be the fact that you are herded together closer on the tube, but your nasel senses are definitely invaded more by people's bad smells there.

I did try to restart the fashion for nosegays whilst I was there. Those little posies of sweet smelling flowers our ancestors used to hold under their noses to mask the smell of the hoi-poloi's stench.

Valerie Singleton showed how to make one on Blue Peter many years ago. You take an orange and cover it with cloves, then leave it to dry for a month, attach a pretty ribbon and hey presto!
 
Aqua Manda!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have been racking my brains over that for ages! The lemon one was Aqua Citra. I remember that now.

As a teenager I loved Aqua Manda talc and body lotion.

There was also one by Coty called Kiku and someone once bought me a spherical container of the talc with a big fluffy puff inside. I loved it at first but the lotion version of it seemed to go off after a while.

It's funny how we wear a perfume for ourselves and then get so used to the smell that we end up not being able to smell it.
 
i have just thought... i must be getting old,,, i can remember evening in paris and california poppy. ............................
 
My grandma always used evening in paris, it was in a little blue bottle, if i remember right. You can still buy it, but it is now under another name but can't remember what it is.
 
I don't like strong smelling perfumes either. You know the sort you can still taste 10 minutes after you leave a person. I know its old fashioned now but I like the smell of old spice on a man.
