Tell me about what fragrance you wear

I've started wearing perfume quite recently.. maybe like a year ago. My parents go to Europe a lot and always bring me back perfumes, but it's hard to buy perfume for someone as a gift.. I never liked any of them.. until they got me Kenzo Flower! :smitten: I lurve it. I spray it just once on my chest (directly on the skin) or sometimes I dab it behind my ears.. it's wonderful.

So what fragrance do you wear, if any? I'm not familiar with men's fragrances but there is one called L'Occitane which is just amazing.

It's called "In Black". Smells sooo good.

I also have something called cold water or blue water, not sure. But I wear the In Black stuff all the time. I always wear cologne... like no matter what.

Edit: I looked everywhere for pics. It must be rare...

oooh Nice thread. :D
I vear a lot of different ones, but my favorites are:

Hehe! Eau de toilette is like a watered down version of perfume. You can spray much more of it on. For instance, I can only spray my perfume on once and no more often than once every 6 hours or something like that. I ask because I don't recall seeing perfume in B&BW, but I've seen eau de toilettes.

I remember that stuff called cologne. I stopped wearing it a long time ago. Maybe it's because I realized that perfume does absolutely nothing for me and lost my enthusiasm for wearing the male equivalent. I'm probably in the minority on that.

That's not right... I wouldn't be wearing it if it doesn't work, somewhat. Gotta love compliments... Maybe you're just ugly :P

Oh, and Burns, I got my mom that cherry blossom kit for her b-day last month. Also, the same thing but in cucumber. :)

oooh, gotcha. No its eau de toilette then, it doesn't last very long. The Victoria's Secret one does though. I wonder why B&BW doesn't just make the perfume too??

Cool, did she like it? The cucumber one is good too :)

ESCADA Rockin Rio- It is delicious, as is anything by ESCADA. I spray it on my bare chest, each wrist, and behin my ears. I know a goo dnumber of women who don't wear it right, but I always get compliments on it. I guess i like ESCADA because it is not a floral scent.

http://img.products.howstuffworks.co...c/35957516.JPG
ESCADA Island Kiss- By far my favourite perfume. It is very tropical in scent and it's just plain amazing.

Universal Mind, you just gotta find the stuff that fits you best. It can be pretty tricky but once you find something, it will be amazing!! It will boost your confidence because women will always be telling you how good you smell. :P Yummy scent is a huge turn on.

BiVixen, oooh those bottles are gorgeous. You spray that one on a lot.. is it a strong scent?

Burns, dunno, guess it's just not their style to make perfume?? I think B&BW values very yummy but subtle scents. That reminds me, my boss has this green tea (or something) lotion from there and it smells so amazing. The whole office takes some when she's not looking. :P

First off, yes, a good smelling man or woman is....a huge turn-on.

Secondly, I wear both perfumes in the same places. They are rather light and the locations I spray it make it last longer instead of coming on so strong at first.

I didn't say it doesn't work. I just said I don't have a fragrance way of thinking. A lot of women like shaved chests too, but they can go ahead and count me out on that also. But I guess you need cologne if you're ugly. :D

I know a lot of women like it. An ex used to beg me to wear Drakkar Noir, and other girls made the biggest deal out of that stuff, so I wore it. But now I just rely on other things, like my rock star status and my fleet of yachts.

I'm in your boat yacht. I'd rather smell neutral than be assaulting people's olfactory glands all day by emitting odors like that. I've been around WAY too many people that I have to smell. I don't want to smell you unless we're having sex or - at the very least - holding hands and/or kissing.

Think of all the perfume scents you personally can't stand. Now keep in mind that many people can't stand the one you choose to douse yourself in.

In a lot cases, smelling of perfume is obnoxious and rude so better make it very weak and use it very sparingly. I always have nightmare about being that person who comes through the door and makes every one's eyes water from the vapor. I think of the customers who come in and whose reek lingers long after they leave. Yuk.

Have you ever been around a church group? For some reason, church groups always seem to contain a disproportionally-high amount of both men and women (especially woman) who can be detected by anyone downwind for miles. It's like everyone is so determined to outdo each other with dress and reek factor that they bath in the stuff.

I do know what you mean... my mother doesn't know the first thing about wearing perfume. She sprays it multiple times on her clothing rather than onto her skin and she definitely reeks of it. It's terrible!!

But anyhoo.. my point is that perfume/cologne can be sooo sexy if its just there subtly. You're not supposed to be able to smell it unless you're standing really close to someone, and even then it's supposed to be something sweet and subtle that compliments your natural smell.

I received the bubble bath and lotion for Christmas. I like the scent, but it can be overpowering if not used sparingly.

Well I like to smell good, and at the moment I wear, either:

Prada for men:

Or my current favourite Issey Miyake:

I cannot tell you how many people comment on how nice this stuff smells, and I love it too, I wear an antiperspirant too (non smelling) in case of an emergency.. But then I am the sort of person who likes to dress and smell good.. :D

I've never been fond of perfume.

I'm in favour of always being clean and not smelling of sweat and whatnot but either most people seriously abuse perfume or my sense of smell is just too sensitive to adore anything but natural scents.

Not exactly pleasant to walk by someone and have nasal passages blocked simply due to the thickness of the perfume odor in the air. :boggle:

When I go walking, there's a guy who is often riding a bike around the lake as well. That damn guy... I cringe when I see him coming. He smells sooooo strong of cologne that you can see everyone start fanning their noses and make disgusting gestures as he passes. And his overpowering scent trail lingers so long there's no escape.
