Sublime by Jean Patou

I initially bought this because I got an amzing deal on ebay, I had never tried it. I thought I might give it to my mom cause she has liked other Jean Patou perfumes. Then ma says that she doesnt bother much with perfume anymore now that she is retired. After reading the reviews here I was very curious, so I opened it and WOW I was so surprised to find I LOVE IT ! The reviews here already say it all. I find it soft and powdery. The first time I wore it to work, one female co-worker went nuts and is going to go buy some. Another female co-worker wasnt too impressed she asked if I spilled baby powder. I dont care what she thinks anyway, I think it is dreamy.

Noir Epices by Editions de Parfums Frederic Malle

Love it ! Some of you have described it better than I can. I find it soft, warm, powdery, intriguing. I dont think it is sweet like most vanilla perfumes. The first 30 seconds it was a bit sharp. I sprayed in on in the bathroom the night I got it, and the next morning the bathroom itself smelled wonderous. I tried it on my husband, but he finds it a bit too delicate to use for himself.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana

I really like the way it is not sweet at all. I would say it was fresh and clean, a hit fruity at first. It is very different than anything I have experienced. It seems perfect for a sunny day.

Poison by Christian Dior

I found this appropriately named. I almost want to die when I smell it. Literally makes my stomache turn. Far too sweet and nauseating.

Giorgio by Giorgio Beverly Hills

Love it !! Wore it to death in the late 80's, I had soooooo many compliments. It was time for a a change. I do not wear it anymore, but I do still own a small bottle of perfume. Tried it just the other day - I still quite like it. Current fav is Coco Mademoiselle.

L by Lolita Lempicka

Love the bottle ! At first I liked the fruity orange scent, but within 1/2 hour and for the rest of the day all I could smell was Vanilla.

Touch for Women by Burberry

I dont mind this, nice enough, but it reminds me so much of CK One.

Pleasures by Estée Lauder

I like soft florals, and this one was recommended as being similar to Contradiction, but not even close. Pleasures is far to much Lily for my liking.

Contradiction by Calvin Klein

I love it ! There is something warm, and perhaps sandalwoodsy? I wore this for a few years and have owned several bottles of the EDT and have had 2 bad bottles, where there is some sour note, like sour lily or something. The body lotion was the same, hint of sour, and didnt work.

Jasmin de Nuit by Different Company

I was excited to recieve this, but disappointed. It is just ok. I think it is soft & sweet, smells alot like CK Obsession, which is fine, but not as outstanding as I was hoping for. I will have to try it a few more times.

Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel

I have been admiring this scent on a co-worker for a long time. I finally bought it (although wont wear it to work). Can be overpowering, I wonder if the body lotion might be more delicate. I am new to this and do not know the perfume lingo, but there is something very earthy and warm about it. My current fav.
