    Default Eau de Parfum | Eau de Toilette

    Ladies and gents, let's have a quality discussion on ze art of man-made fragrance.

    How many fragrances do you own? Some folks I know own as many as 20 to 30 at any given time.

    What do you consider to be the high end brands vs the medium tier vs the bottom of the line? Where would each of the following brands rank in your eyes: tommy hilfiger, polo, dolce & gabbana, diesel, versace, giorgio armani, prada, gucci, bvlgari.

    What is your favorite fragrance for man and/or woman?

    I don't use any since I'm allergic to most scents.....I have yet to find the perfect scent for me. =)

    My favourite scent has gotta be Johnson's baby powder

    I like any perfume (worn on others) with a light "sweet" fragrance. I don't know which brand is this but I vaguely remember the name is "Paradise". It does smell like one.

    I have a dolce & gabbana light blue + a number of mini free samples. Have yet to find my ideal - like it as sweet and fruity as possible.

    I usually use perfume on my clothes, bedding and room. Seldom wear it on my body.

    Guys, do you routinely wear fragrance?

    Deodorant when needed, but it doesn't count as a fragrance. I don't wear cologne. The only scene I want to wear is "money." I'll hang a few benjamins around my neck.
    What are you fighting for? Just mix them into pissing beef balls, stupid.

    I have a few. So far, I only ever finished 4 different perfumes and repurchased. The rest are unfinished and unused.

    What smell good on one person doesn't mean will smell good on you. I've sniffed few highly coveted perfumes and I found them smell like poison. I guess my brain is just wired differently than those who like it.

    I've tried DG Blue on my wrist several times before I bought it, and it was fine. So I bought the bottle....and wham, as soon as I put it on my body, I got the worst headache ever. Up to this date, this is the only perfume that can give me bad headache like that.

    Hehe maybe.

    But seriously, I do get headaches to selected/strong perfumes. Which is why I don't usually put perfumes directly on my body.

    I don't sue perfume, I just use Victoria's Secret body spray. It does the trick.

    I have two bottles of expensive perfume, both are presents from my sister. I have Victoria's Secret body spray too. I like putting on fragrance when I go out, makes me happy when I smell nice.

    i only have one from victoria's secret, one from bath and body works, and a body spray from bath and body works. like others, i have yet to find "the one" never gave much effort into finding it either, maybe thats why but i really like that crisp, fresh smell with a lil fruity side..
    Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

    Hey folks, is it OK to lay a bottle of cologne on its side? Any known bad effects about doing this?

    Have you ever tried Body by VS? To me, it smells clean and fresh eventhough some people say it reminds them of bug spray

    Has anyone tried Danielle by Danielle Steel? I like this sweet fragrance; I'm saving it for that lucky person who will embody this kind of sweetness in real life
