Unforgivable by Sean John

I'm quite irked by this....I really love MI and now thanks to Piff diddy/ Puff Daddy, whatever his name is, I'll probably smell it everywhere! I have nothing against "mainstream" fragrances-it's just that it's nice sometimes to have a scent that isn't worn by 10 other people at the office, gym, subway, supermarket etc..
He's got enough money to develop his own fragrance, so why not hire someone to create something unique? rather than copying Creed? No originality whatsoever.

Millésime Impérial by Creed

This at the moment is my absolute favorite fragrance. I usually test a perfume for weeks before actually buying it. But for this, I purchased it immediately without hesitation. It reminds me of Buddist temples in the East..the burning of incense, the ripe fruit offerings for all the gods on the mantle...the surrounding lush trees and tropical flowers, the wood beams of the temple...I just love love love this one!

No. 5 by Chanel

While I can't say that it's my favorite fragrance, I can say that this is truly a unique fragrance. It has endured through the decades and remains one of the top selling perfumes in the world. It is truly a work of art. I remember as an 8yr old, finding a minature of this in a junk drawer in the kitchen (my mother obviously got it as a sample? gift w. purchase?). I remember being so intrigued by it. I couldn't stop smelling it! Just try and picture an eight year old prancing around in Chanel No.5 all week long! I was quite disappointed when I finally exhausted the sample. Now I have a full bottle, along with 3 minatures on my shelf. Perhaps one day if I have daughter-she too will discover this!

Chic by Carolina Herrera

I quite like this one..maybe it's because I sampled it while I was on vacation in Spain. I can always remember where I was at, what I was feeling with each of the scents that I own. It's a nice floral, not too overwhelming, very fresh but warm.

Byblos (original) by Byblos

Extremely sweet smelling, very fruity and long lasting. This was a scent that I enjoyed when I was a teenager...it's fun and flirty. Not something I'd like to wear today. I'll keep the tiny wee bit that I have left and use it to take me back to memory lane!

Eau Parfumée au Thé Verte Extreme by Bulgari

I do like this scent, it's quite fresh and light. A nice alternative to the usual sweet fruity scents. I always receive compliments when I wear this, alas...it gives me the worse headache everytime I wear it! And I also agree with one of the reviewers that it has this odd latex smell to it -just a tiny hint of it, but it's definitely there.
