Mine is Givenchy's Organza Indecence! Unfortunately, it has been discontinued so now I restrict myself to using the body veil which is a luxurious, shimmering body lotion that is devine. When that runs out I shall be most upset because I cannot buy anymore. I even contacted Givenchy by email and they confirmed that it had been discontinued...but will not tell me why! I do know that it was expensive to produce as it had no flower scents in it, just earthy, woody notes amongst others.
I have a few miniature bottles of various perfumes and when I get some cash together there are two I really like. One is D&G Feminine that I like to wear during the daytime, the other is a mesmerising scent called Addict by Dior.
I would need to be on here 24 hours a day every day to afford 'em both lol.

I don't ussualy stick to just one scent. I like to mix it up! For awhile I was wearing the Guess feature scent for women, but then I got sick of it. I was obsessed with wearing Happy by Clinique for awhile, until some girl I really can't stand started wearing it too. I really like Romance by Ralph Lauren. Lately though I've taken to wearing a guys scent, believe it or not. I know it's meant for men, but I just love Light Blue by Dolce & Gabanna.. sooooo good smelling.
I hate anything designed by celebrities I can't stand, like Paris Hiltons perfume, which smells like dirty baby hookers and garbage mixed together to me.

Hi!
Thanks for your comment and I agree with you. The celebrity perfumes are really bad. It seems the manufacturers don't put the effort in because they know they are all gonna sell. I wouldn't touch these fragrances with a barge poll ALTHOUGH I did like J-Lo Glow for a while when it first came out. It's the only big bottle of perfume I have left but I just can't stand it now...especially when a work colleague a couple of years ago said something horrible about it! You are also right about the male scents. My nephew wears Le Male (or something, bottle shaped like a bloke's torso) by Jean Paul Gaultier. It's gorgeous, really nice! :-)

That's ok my friend, I'm not offended or anything. I used to make my own perfume when I was little, from rose petals. It didn't smell very nice but I thought it was great at the time!!

My favorite is CK's ETERNITY, and the next one I like is Ralph Laurens POLO. As you have correctly mentioned, they are quite expensive, and I usually buy it and use it very sparingly.

My mother-in-law actually bought me some Eternity for Women. It lasted ages cos of the spray thingy on the top. Not got any now though :-(

Though I hardly put perfumes that often, I will still share what I put on once in awhile when I go out. I only have a few favorites and the first one would be Banana republic the one for men. I love it! The next would be GAP just love that scent and the last would be D&G light blue. But I have a few more but these would be the first ones I will grab.

Men's fragrances have come on leaps and bounds haven't they! They seem to have a wonderful, fresh smell. I have heard of Light Blue by D&G because I used the other one..it has a red top so the blue is a lighter version of it. The red one used to drive a workmate of mine crazy because he loved it so much hehe lol. He'd be disappointed if I forgot to put some on. :-)

I, there.
I love cool water by David doff. I like the scent so much. I love it even more when I'm sweating. The scent is so perfect to the person who perspire easily, it won't turn you down. The scent is so outstanding. Now, my partner forbidden me to use my favourite scent because it catches attention and the scent is kinda flirty.

Hello there! I, too, have used Cool Water by Davidoff. Unfortunately (even though I like the smell very much) it gives me a headache. It reminds me of the sea. Fabulous! :-)

My favorite is La Coste's Touch of Pink. I really love this scent, it's so feminine. :-)

I've never tried that one but I love the colour pink so I probably would if I sampled it :-)

Lol. I like the sound of that! Hubby wears Boss and I wish he would wear it more because I love it, love it, love it hehe! I also like Kouros on a bloke. A guy I worked with many years ago wore Joop! and it drove me crazy, I just loved the smell!

Good for you that you can afford it. For me I am not very particular of putting on scent until my friends went abroad and brought me some Victorias Secret Collection it was then that I started to use it. But I am only concentrating on the scent that I find normal & not irritate my sense of smell. I can use any kind of scent as long as it will not bother my sense of smell.

I could afford it then but I couldn't now as I don't work but I take your point about Victoria's Secret Collection which I have heard of, glad you like it.
