Aromatics Elixir by Clinique

I LOVE this scent. I can wear it really well but I have smelled other people who wear it even better. A little goes a LONG way. I love that the scent lasts forever, even on clothing. The patchouli & musk are the strongest notes imho.

My husband HATES it and it makes him ill. Oh well, ya can't win em all!

Lolita Lempicka by Lolita Lempicka

I got my Lolita EDP in the mail today! Wow am I ever impressed!! This does not strike me as gourmand at all. It's sweet, but more woodsy to me. Sounds funny but I can smell the ivy. The anise is wonderful, not too much. I don't smell the licorice at all(I found that really weird because my sense of smell is extremely keen!). This could almost be a nice hot tea! The dry down is like a dreamy, womanly powderish scent. It was well worth the wait!
Beautiful, unique bottle & packaging*****

In Control Curious by Britney Spears

I have finally tried all of the Britney scents and this is my absolute favorite. I haven't smelled anything quite like it. The first spray is absolutely delish, my favorite part of the experience. The loquat is really complemented by the musky/woodsy scents. Makes me think of sexy fruit--don't ask. LOL

As wonderful a scent as this one is, it does not last at ALL. Not even an hour on me. It is truly a shame because this scent has such potential. I wish the folks at Elizabeth Arden would go back to the drawing board with In Control and give it more staying power.

Like the person who said it smelled of Playdoh on her, the last remnants smell salty on me also! Weird! So I just keep spraying it on, I am addicted to that first burst of woodsy loquat fruit.
Another cool bottle design from the EA company.

Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears

I do like this Britney scent also. To me it smells like blueberries. It doesn't transform much from 1st spray to drydown. After an hour or so it just smells like faint blueberries and a bit of vanilla. It only seems to last a couple of hours on me. I wish it lasted longer, it is a really pretty, fruity scent. The bottle & packaging are neat~~think of Elle Woods' evil twin! lol

Love's Baby Soft by Love's

My first cologne! Brings back great memories. Such a nice, powdery girly smell. This goes right along with "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific"!

Liz Claiborne by Liz Claiborne

Ah, this reminds me of high school! Good times:) I still wear this retro scent once in a while. It smells delish right from the first spray! Mellows into a lovely, fresh floral. Last all day. My daughter loves it also. Wears well on most ages IMHO. This is a good pick-me-up scent, makes me very happy:-) Also smells good sprayed into your purse lining.

Red Door by Elizabeth Arden

My mom wears this so well! She always gets compliments. I'm not very good at identifying scents yet but it smells really clean and reminds me of a warm breeze. All my mom's clothing smells like it too.
However, RD smells like plastic crap on me, plus I am allergic to it and I break out in hives. It's definitely not for some folks.
Mixed feelings on this one!

Miami Glow by J.Lo by Jennifer Lopez

Holy cow this one was BAD. Very shocking since I love the original JLo. I couldn't even identify the horrible smell, maybe fermented citrus? UCK It just made me sick and gave me a headache. I had to wash my wrists several times to get the stench off.

Black Suede by Avon

I really enjoy this on my husband. I don't get "old man" from this at all. All I smell is sensuality:)

Fantasy by Britney Spears

I don't usually like sweet candy-type perfumes but this one is very nice. My daughter loves it as well. More for the younger set. The bottle is cool as hell. Reminds me of an Elle Woods paperweight.

Curious by Britney Spears

I didn't want to like this one, mostly because I can't stand Spears. It's pretty good though. Reminds me more of a summer scent. Very clean. It seems to last several hours. You don't want to overspray though. Less is definitely more with this one. The bottle is adorable!

Jaïpur by Boucheron

Much lighter and sweeter than Jaipur Saphir and not as powdery. Such a pretty scent. Very feminine, but it faded rather quickly. I was allergic to this one too unfortunately. Allergies suck :(

Jaïpur Saphir by Boucheron

I really love the smell of JS. It's very powdery and girly. I was so pleased I bought it, and then my skin broke out in a huge rash :( I wish so much that I were not allergic to it.

Another beautiful factice by Boucheron. The bottles are almost like jewelry to me LOL

Joop! Homme by Joop!

This scent is extremely harsh at first. After about 20 kinutes or so, it's HEAVENLY. And it lasts. Love love love it on my husband!

Wild Musk by Coty

This is my #2 favorite scent. I wear it very well and always get compliments, even from strangers. It's very soft, feminine and sexy all at the same time. I like to use the cologne spray(the tall can)on my clothing and in my hair as well. The oil I use for my wrists and neck. This is a perfume you can never use too much of.
I also enjoy the fact that it really pushes my hubby's happy buttons, lol!

Boucheron by Boucheron

My absolute FAVORITE perfume of all! It makes me feel classy and sophisticated. The EDT does not last very long IMO, so now I only buy the EDP. I use the pure parfum for night. It's so wonderful and lasts a long time. Boucheron is a beautiful day or night scent, cool or warm weather. It's just pure elegance. I love all the different bottles too. Some day I hope to own a piece of Boucheron jewelry:)

Tabu by Dana

My grandma told me that hookers used to wear this LOLOL Oh well, I love it! It lasts all day. My aunt and I can wear this scent very well. This does not smell good on everyone.
