Thymes Ltd. perfume…all of their scents are wonderful. My favorites include: Lavender, Wild Ginger, Eucalyptus and Goldleaf Hydrangea. Truly though, all of them are fresh and slightly intoxicating.

As I age, I no longer wear any. The aromas all smell artificial and irritate my nose now.

J’adore by Dior. I’ve been using it for 4 years, which is the longest I’ve ever used a perfume, and I still love it. I’ll probably be wearing it for the rest of my life – I have yet to find one that I love as much! I get compliments on it all the time, and I love that it’s not too heavy for summer, so I can wear it year-round.

Odessey by Avon.

A lot of perfumes have musk in it. And animal urine and animal fat. When a whale pukes, score for the perfume company. GROSS! Why would you put that on you?

For everyday use I like Gloria Vanderbilt for its nice clean fragrance.
@jjmah I just discovered The One and it has become my favorite. I am not normally a perfume type person but The One smells awesome.

@Aster Do you also like Estee Lauder’s Beautiful?

Aster's avatar

It’s ok; I don’t wear any of it anymore. I just keep the bottles that are half full.

I’m not much of a perfume person, I tend to lean towards less powerful body spritzes. I always go for a fruity scent. I hear that men don’t like that… but I don’t particularly care, because I like it.

I’m actually embarrassed to admit that the spray that I wear regularly smells like cotton candy. Juvenile, maybe, but I get a ton of compliments on it. I think something about a scent that makes us think of something fun and frivolous is something that most people subconsciously enjoy, even if they wouldn’t necessarily choose to wear it for themselves.

Anyhow, my husband loves it and always buys it for me, so I’ll keep wearing it.

Burberry Brit, CK One, and Ralph Lauren’s Hot.

Depends on the season. Spring and summer I wear L’occitane or, more recently, Banana. In the fall/winter, I wear Voluspa. All of which smell amazing. I don’t like to smell like every other woman.

I don’t have a favorite brand, when I am out, I go to the drug store and start squirting until I find one I like. They are usually of a citrusy flavor or vanilla. Just so they are light, in the tropics the last thing you need is a heavy cloying scent trailing behind you.

Red Door fans – one time i was at a perfume counter and the sales lady sprayed some Red Door on me. I told her “it smells like old lady perfume” and she told me “It is a mature frangrance.”

I like Ralph Lauren Romance and Victoria’s Secret, i think it’s called Dream Angels. I also have Jessica McClintock and that’s nice, too. I tend to go for light flowery scents. now i’m going to try some of the suggestions posted here.

Genny Shine, by Diane DeSilva, Rho, Italy
I think it is now available in the USA.

Woody/musky scents are my favourite, particularly sandelwood…..ooooooooh….. :D
I don’t own a favourite perfume at this moment (i have a few cheapy body sprays that are yummy though), but there’s one that i recently got a whiff of and i want it, it’s Pure Poison by Christian Dior. But that’s a little more than i’m willing to pay for perfume at this moment (about $110 where i live).

Jasmin Noir by Bulgari. It’s spicy and jasmine-y, like it was made just for me.
