Looking for a sexy evening fragrance....

Thread Starter 
I love sweet, flirty, fruity, fresh fragrances. I use to love Avons wink, however since being discontinued I have been exploring other fragrances.

I love Burberry Brit, its so tasty, I wear this when I just want to feel yummy and tasty!

Still by J Lo and Paris Hilton, I wear these when i want to feel flirty, sweet and innocent.

Cool Water by Davidoff, when I want to feel fresh, for a beachy feel.

However the trouble with these is they dont really suit evening wear, only day time wear.
I do own JPG which I do enjoy wearing, but it sometimes feels overpowering. I find alot of evening frgrances remind me of elderly ladies, and being in my early 20's really dont think they work well on me.

I loved CK's obsession on my bf but I really dislike the female version. I want something they is going to make me feel sexy, any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi & welcome

I'll try to suggest designer fragrances- easily available at most dept stores and/or Sephora.

Guerlain Insolence
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
Stella McCartney Stella
Narciso Rogriguez For Her
Bulgari Omnia
Badgley Mishka
Flowerbomb
Hermes Eau de Merveilles
YSL Elle
Bulgari Jasmin Noir

These have woody or musky bases, a little deeper, richer & "darker" than your daytime choices, you might enjoy one of them as a evening scent. Most of them have a nice sweetness to them as well, which you seem to enjoy in your other choices. Good luck!

I recommend Trish McEvoy's Sexy #9

It is a close wearing vanilla/blackberry musk, well suited to your youth, and not overpowering.

Good suggestion, Bath and Body Works has one with similar notes called Black Raspberry Vanilla that my niece loves. Another one that is a little more mature is Japanese Cherry Blossom, I've seen good reviews for that. These fragrances are under $20. (Not sure they have a store in Europe, but they are usually available on Ebay.)

I second Black Orchid and also recommend Hermes 24, Faubourg (a jasmine amber) and Dior Poison. Poison, IMHO, is a truly in-your-face sexy scent.

Bandit. Not sweet and fruity, but far more alluring than most of those.

If it has to be sweet and fruity, go for Poison, but not too much.

Yes, speaking as a guy, I do like all of these, and lamented my wife not liking a couple of them!

Two others that I like on women are Black Orchid Voile de Fleur (EDT, more strongly floral than the regular EDP, and about to be discontinued, I think) and the new Guerlain Boisé Torride. The latter is a strong, fruity, floral, sweet, Angel-type concoction that I just find very sexy.
