Oud Queen Roses by Montale
All I can say is "exquisite". If you love rose this is the one. Rich, dark, and excessive! The color it evokes is deep red and the feel...velvet. The oud stays long...wear it to bed.

Orange Blossom by Jo Malone
I just obtained a bottle and I will be wearing it a lot this summer. Great orange scent with some added softeners! Layering with this should be great as well. Very pure but soft orange. Stays on well too and will be great with cinnamons for winter

Oh My Dog! by Dog Generation
Oh my dog is very gentle and formulated for dogs to wear. My bishons have mixed feelings about the fragrance however. Bobbie hates it and makes the funiest face when he gets a whif or sees me coming with it...he curls up his upper lip and wrinkles his little black nose and puts his paws over his face. Edward though, seems to enjoy the frag. He comes to me when he sees me coming with it and will stand still for a spray. Both boys will roll it off on the carpets whan I am not looking :) Doggies like more stinky things to wear like eau de dead fish or eau de cat poop. But think about, many humans love ambergris :) I say hurray for Dog Generation! What innovation and fun. The website is cool too!

Love In White by Creed
I absolutely love this fragrance. I can't get enough of it and will keep my wrist close to my nose all day if I am not careful. Beautiful! The white flowers here are so ravishingly lovely...seems like flowers just a day away from falling petals...heady

Vanisia by Creed
I like Vanisia a lot after it's on a while. Very sweet and old fashioned on me at first...but then it gets very sultry and sexy. Good tillage too, enough to make a statement. I am glad I bought it blind simpy because I liked the descriptions I found on various webpages and the name. Definitaely a fragrance for women and not little girls though. You probably have to remember perfumes from the 50's and 60's to love this one :)

Original Santal by Creed
I too love this scent. I have a large bottle on my dresser for everyday wear. I did take advice from missaldaco and mix with "love in white:...great together! More women should wear this one. I get compliments all the time from my girlfriends and women colleagues on OS. I love the cinnamon opener

Jasmal by Creed
I love, love, love this. I wish is stayed with me longer though. It is definitely worth re-applying during the day. I love the somewhat smokey scent of this even if brief.

Irisia by Creed
I love the dry and somewhat dusty smell of the iris in Irisia. It reminds me of the real deep purple flowers on a hot day in May. I was raised in an area where all of the farm ladies swapped irises for their gardens in many varieties and colors. I think it's nostalgia with me and Irisia.

Blue Grass by Elizabeth Arden
I have to say I love this on others, on me it just doesn't smell like anything at all...seems to sink into my skin or just float away within minutes. My best friend wears it all of the time and I can tell when she is around because I can smell her coming??? Go figure??? I do think that on average, women like Blue Grass (at least the ones who still remember it :))

Pure Lavande by Azzaro
I have this and I enjoy the scent very much, I especially like the sort of old-fashioned feeling of this one. I use it with other things in layers when I wear it...I like to play with perfume...but I especially like to spritz the sheets with this when I put fresh ones on the beds...I think it does help relax a person...and then I don't feel that I have wasted money on a very average scent. From this line I do love "Cedrat" however.

Pavlova by Five Star Fragrances
Very, very sweet and powdery and it is inexpensive. I have owned this one for several years and I seldom wear it due to its longevity. Sometimes want to wash it off during the day. It gets stronger and more cloying as the day moves along.

Alien by Thierry Mugler
My son gave me this for the last holiday season for the solstice. Because he and I share a love of SciFI, we thought perhaps this would "eat your face off" like its namesake; or at least melt something. However, I am glad to say it does neither and I quite like it. It lasts and lasts. I love the mysterious notes that you cannot quite identify...hmmmmm must be alien.

Lucky Number 6 by Lucky Brand
I have this one and I never wear it. It is ok, but to me it is a bit "little girlish". More for very young women and teenagers I think. Nice, flowery and sensual at first, but doesn't last...then just smells very clean.

Spellbound by Estée Lauder
I love Spellbound. The top notes for me put me in mind of cinnamon and oranges. Yes, this is a strong one that you need to spray very carefully. My dog hates it and barks at me when I use it...go figure? Maybe that means he doesn't hate it? Seriously, I like to use a little of Spellbound and layer it with Creed's Original Santal...beautiful together.
