I hav ehte brittany one too but my absolute fav is the kylie manogue one i have gone through 2 bottles in 2 years and get awsome comments when wearing it, its just a really nice delicate smell. highly recommend it.

For anyone interested I read something intriguing today.
You can design your own perfume at Yves Andre (Company who does Yves saint etc) in Auckland for $500
Yes very dear, but you can make it a group event and everyone chip in. ]]> Sat, 14 Nov 2009 17:28:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=838409&title=perfume-recommendations#838409 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=825466&title=perfume-recommendations#825466 Author: gypsynita

Oooh I love perfumes, I want a new one too and know what it is but have totally forgotten the name lol.

Some of my all time favourites -
Clinique Happy
Estee Lauder Beautiful (I think it might be Beautiful Love, its not just the plain Beautiful one) - I wore this one for my wedding day. Yum!
DKNY Be Delicious (I like the green one)
Body Shop Vanilla (do they still do that one??)

I second Cool waters by davidoff. Really fresh and not musky at all! Im another hater of musky smells. Baby doll is another nice one, a bit stronger than cool waters though!

I'm a bit of a perfume nut, at the moment I have:
Pure Poison (Dior)
Romance (Ralph Lauren)
Romance - Always Yours (Ralph Lauren)
Envy (Gucci)
Envy Me (Gucci)
Sun, Moon and Stars (Lagerfeld)
Eternity (Calvin Klein)

The other thing to remember with perfumes is that they don't last forever, they do go "off" with time, so sometimes buying the biggest bottle doesn't work out to be more economical - I always buy the smaller bottles as I have several fragrances I wear so wouldn't get thru a big bottle.

And you can help them last longer by storing them in a cool, dark place. I keep mine in a drawer in my bedroom.]]> Mon, 26 Oct 2009 09:11:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=816717&title=perfume-recommendations#816717 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=816664&title=perfume-recommendations#816664 Author: emz

For a light summer fragrance I wear DKNY or Gucci Rush 2.

But my favourite is Chanel No 5 although its not fruity at all.

D&G is a favourite of a friend of mine but its more soapy smelling if you ask me.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:22:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=815235&title=perfume-recommendations#815235 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=815212&title=perfume-recommendations#815212 Author: Lizze

I'm the same, love fruity/fresh smelling fragrances but not flowery or musky scents.

Floral by Paul Smith is a fave (is not strong or flowery, despite being called floral).

Reaction by Kenneth Cole is another.

I Love Love by Moschino is my other fave, it smells bad when you spray it out of the bottle (IMO) but give it a few mins on your skin and it smells divine.]]> Fri, 23 Oct 2009 01:20:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=815001&title=perfume-recommendations#815001 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=814995&title=perfume-recommendations#814995 Author: TansP

I agree with emz! Perfumes that smell great on some people can smell disgusting on others. Buying perfume is sooo overwhelming these days because there are so many to choose from!!!

I usually wear Hypnotic Poison. I also have Stella by Stella McCartney and Issey Miyake for a light summer fragrance. ]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 23:49:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=814995&title=perfume-recommendations#814995 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=814966&title=perfume-recommendations#814966 Author: emz

I'd recommend trying before you buy - it's amazing the difference in reactions on certain people's skin. You don't want to pay heaps of money to smell like cat pee

Maybe take a few suggestions off here then try those ones on? That's what I plan on doing (need a new one as I'm completely over Rush (Gucci) but was a pressie so will use the rest of it.]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:21:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=814966&title=perfume-recommendations#814966 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=814961&title=perfume-recommendations#814961 Author: Aprilfools

Mmmmm perfume. My fave thing in all the world. I don't care what I look like as long as I smell good.

Estee Lauder - Beautiful Love, (NOT Beautiful)
YSL - Rosamor
Versace - Bright Crystal
Bulgari - Rose Essentielle (a must have)
Bulgari - Omnia Crystalline
Kenzo - Flowers by Kenzo (also a must)
Nina Ricci - Nina
Vera Wang - Vera Wang (also an absolute must in this house)
Lanvin - Oxygene if you also like Cool Water

If you like Poison you might like Tresor by Lancome. This one lasts really well.

Who am I kidding they're all absolute musts.

There's a few more but can't be bothered going back downstairs plus I got told off for making a 'stink'.
Life pharmacy usually have the best selection so perhaps go in there and try a few out.]]> Thu, 22 Oct 2009 22:15:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=814961&title=perfume-recommendations#814961 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29513&PID=814957&title=perfume-recommendations#814957 Author: Bobbie

I wear Bulgari BLV and Hugo Red.

There are lots that I like, but they turn a little funky after being on my skin for a while.

Apparently the chemicals in perfume can get "tainted" by your body chemistry, so it might be worth the effort of going to try-before-buy.
