Sex sweat. Not available in stores.

Habanita is my "signature scent". It's amazing but quite heavy:

Evening after a hard rain. A lot less dust for one, but there's something else.

I like this the best... but haven't tried the new formulation, I don't know if I will

I use this occasionally and it's good to a bit too strong

Scents tend to give me headaches so no perfume for me.

"The top note is delicate and softly fresh (clementine, almond blossom and cyclamen). The heart reveals jasmine, peony and amaryllis. The drydown is warm, opulent, and balsamic with amber, musk and sweet powdery vanilla. The fragrance was created by Jacques Cavallier."
It smells like a French girl at the cinema supposedly. (Actually it kind of does). I wear it often.
**edit: I found this picture for it.
I want to see a picture representation of every perfume before I purchase from now on.

I love the smell of fresh goat milk in the morning.

I'm not a French perfume girl. I much prefer Russian and New York.
I can bath in Lily, honeysuckle, and this one type of plant on Martha's Vinyard that is exquisite...I'll try to find the name of it.

I'm constantly looking to align the real with the ideal.I've been more oriented toward being overly idealistic by expecting the real to match the ideal. My thinking side is dominent. The result is that sometimes I can be overly impersonal or self-centered in my approach, not being understanding of others in the process and simply thinking "you should do this" or "everyone should follor this rule"..."regardless of how they feel or where they're coming from"which just isn't a good attitude to have. It is a way, though, to give oneself an artificial sense of self-justification. LSE

Lucky You. http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/L...-You-8971.html I've occasionally switched to other things, but I always end up going back to this because it suits me so well. I get a lot of compliments on it, too. This site is fun!
I find it interesting how the same perfume smells different on different people.
My favorite scents in general (as opposed to in perfume) are probably sandalwood and jasmine.

I don't wear perfume, but I love the scent of bookstores, chococolate and cinnamon, tobacco and an evening in summer.
Like others here I'm allergic to most perfumes and the smell of them generally give me headaches (or asthma fits - take your pick). However, the least offensive ones for me are the ones that smell like a very light soap, or lightly scented laundry detergent (heck, I even have to watch out for laundry detergents setting me off).
Essential oils aren't too bad, though, as long as they're very light florals.
Mr. Bubble and white Dove soap.

I totally wore this for a while!
I don't wear perfume that much anymore, but when I do it's usually Red Jeans - Versace. It's been my go-to since my parents got it for me one Christmas when I was 13. It smells like raspberries and jasmine and I don't know what else, but it suits my skin really nicely. It smells a bit strong imo though.

When I want to perfume, but something lighter, I go with Demeter fragrances. They have some pretty friggin weird scents, but some really subtle nice ones too. My favourites are Earl Grey, Pumpkin Pie (during the fall), Green Tea, and Gin & Tonic.

My mom collects perfumes, so I grew up spritzing myself constantly with what i found to be the most delicious of all scents. I love so many of them.
Last year, I was in this little underground shop in Kuwait, where I picked up a 2 dollar oil-based nutty/fruity perfume that I just utterly love. Even hubby loves it. I can't believe I bought only one. I asked my mother to pick me up as many when shes down there; she only found 2 :_;
Winter scent is Opium
http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Y.../Opium-93.html
and Gucci eau de parfum (It's discontinued but I still find it)

I thought I was ordering my usual Gucci scent but somehow I was so preoccupied that I ordered "Gucci by Gucci". I won't bother sending it back but it cost enough that I will now have to wear it during autumn and winter. I do not like patchouli but others, I asked to smell it, like it. I feel really put off by this scent. Maybe I can give it to someone else.
http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/G...ucci-1150.html
It lasts a long time even when I washed it off. Perhaps I can learn to like the touch of patchouli in this formula but it just reminds me of some wannabe hippies I used to hang with. The pure stuff never smelled nice on them, or anyone else, that I can remember. It is the 2.5 oz bottle too. Would take a long time to use it all since I have others I prefer.Perfume water named simply Gucci by Gucci is planned to be the main fragrance for women by this company. The perfume was announced as a floral chypre, with a fruity opening of exotic guava, beautiful Haitian Tiare flower in the heart, and patchouli, musk and honey in the base. Advertisement was directed by David Lynch, known for the movies "Wild at Heart", "Mulholland Drive" and many others, as well as the cult TV shows "Twin Peaks", and as music background of the video the legendary hit of the band Blondie "Heart of Glass" was used. Gucci by Gucci was launched in 2007. The nose behind this fragrance is Ilias Ermenidis.
Edit: I had to add this in because it was so...

It actually grew on me so I wore it during the winter. I recently bought some Paris and Opium (new formula) and a new bottle of Opium (original and no longer made due to ingredients being unavailable for export) off ebay. It was overpriced but nostalgia or something. It reminds me of a girl I once knew. I also bought a bottle of Obsession, Lolita Lempicka and Si Lolita (this one I never tried so it will be a surprise). All the scents I own are perfect for my body chemistry and strangers comment that I smell good.
I spent way too much on perfume the past few months since I was running out. They will last me forever. Most days I am shampoo/conditioner/jasmine bodywash scented.

also love http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/S...ura-11258.html cause it feels like an enhanced version of the above, but unfortunately what makes it initially "better" to me is amber - which for some reason in perfume tends to get me headachy & sneezey after a while...
(it's also safe to say that anything that looks yellow in a bottle will be "too warm" for me... I tend to go for not chokingly sweet pink, some more pronounced whites and less grassy smelling greens.)
favourite smell? napalm. in the morning.
I used to love Chanel V only.
Last year I found a lovely French Gardenia, and now I like nothing else.

Awesome thread!
This is what I wear daily; it doesn't last long and it's kinda cheap, but it smells delicious and the ladies love it:

This is what I bust out for special occasions; it's potent, complex, unique, and unmistakable:

I am a perfume junkie... I have at least 10 bottles, maybe 15... and about 40 decants (samples going from 5 to 20 ml).
I like pretty much confidential products like Serge Lutens, l'Artisan Parfumeur, Guerlain or Hermès Exclusives... Creed, Penhaligon's... but also classic French parfumerie.
My last crushes:
Hypnotic poison DIOR EDP
http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/D...fum-23098.html
L'Instant GUERLAIN EDP
http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/G...erlain-51.html
For Her NARCISO RODRIGUEZ EDT
http://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/N...r-Her-209.html
I like it to be sensual, suggestive and a bit animalistic.
