Most "smelled" in your area... - Page 2

I don't go clubbing, but I've heard 1 Million and Le Male are the most popular scents there, but that's obvious.
It is extremely rare for me to smell anything in the city when I take walks - mostly women wearing very popular designer scents.

I agree. I think it's interesting how TdH is common in Italy/Europe but at least here in MN, I've never smelled it on anyone else other than me.

Thank God I don't smell One Million anywhere! Probably my least favorite release of the past 5 years!

I recently asked the girls of the Douglas perfumery in Frejus what the best sellers were at the moment. The male best sellers are 1 Million, Allure Sport and XS Black. I think for females it's Angel and Alien.

The ladies wear a lot of the just-out-of-the-shower clean and fruity varieties. Versace Crystal and Clinique Happy are very popular along with anything from Victoria's Secret. Guys normally neglect scent other than deodorant for hygiene. I reside in the Upstate region of South Carolina.

In Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia you'd be quite sick of 1 Million.

Of the perfumes I recognize, I have smelled Alien, Angel, A&F Fierce, 1 Million, and Wind Song in public. I live in the northwest suburbs of Chicago.

Where I live, speaking strictly about male scents, ADG, Le Male, One Million, L'Eau d'Issey are the "usual suspects", with some occasional, on-and-off bouts of popularity and/or boots in sales for Joop Homme, CK One, M7, Cool Water, L'Instant the Guerlain, TDH, while more recently, also Bleu de Chanel.

In London, I smell a lot of CK One and also TF Black Orchid. But that's not surprising because both are projection bombs.

On women, the most common still seems to be Coco Mademoiselle.

Le Male here in Finland, been so for a long time.

I guess there are some flavour of the month scents, but many are so indistinctive that I can't recognize them. Well, never having sampled most of them makes it even more difficult.

If I had to guess it would be that tacky gold bottle.

$1 million, for sure. Mostly on teenage boys.

it must be Acqua De Gio because I live in a city with no perfume shoppes at all. The ONLY places to buy scent in Idaho Falls, is at the mall dept stores (dillards, macys, sears, rue 21, ross, tjmaxx) So everyone is still replacing their bottle of ADG with another bottle. It's as though we are stuck in 2000 here.

I live near Salem, Oregon which is the capital city, and we do not have the luxury of high end shops around this neck of the woods. So if I do smell something on someone (I don't actively sniff people out) it most likely has come from Macys or Nordstrom, and our Norstrom doesn't carry anything special just the regular designer stuff.

One of the rare times I went out for a night on the town I did notice a lot of Armani Code and Di Gio.

Lately it's very varied.

Last frenzy was Tuscan Leather.
