ok, so even before shoes and bags, perfume is my one true love. You can look crap, but smell nice. So, what is your signature scent? You know, the one that people associate with you.
I love Dior. Love love love Dior. Hypnotic poison Dior (red bottle) is my signature scent, I have been wearing it for years and years, about 8 I think. (before that, it was lancome Poeme) and I don't know anyone else who I hang out with who wears it. One person tried to, but someone else asked her not to, as it got her confused thinking it was me, lol! I also sometimes wear Tendre poison Dior (green bottle), during the day, as the red one gets a bit much for day time sometimes, I swap that one for J'adore Dior just to get crazy and confuse people. I wear Lancome Miracle sometimes instead, as my boss bought me back a big bottle when she went away to conference last year. I love it, but forget I have it. And everyday, I wear Estee lauder Beautful, just for hacking around the house not doing anything, like some peole wear impulse or whatever, I guess. I like to smell nice. So i currently have 5 bottles of perfume, plus a set of 5 small 5 ml diors I got for xmas from work last year. So i guess that makes me an addict. How bout you lot? ------------- The Honest Un PC Parent of 2, usually stuck in the naughty corner! :P |

Giorgio G is mine too Gloria!  I've been wearing it for 5 years- they have this shop over here called the perfume shop and they had a sale on and the big bottles were 14 pounds so I got 6! I bought 2 back to NZ with me, one at the in laws and one at my Mums so I don't have to take perfume with me when I go and stay with them. Its the only perfume I wear and I wear it every day- haven't ever found another perfume I like as much.------------- Jen, Charlotte 7 & Kate 3

I loved Ocean Dreams from Georgio Beverly Hills but they don't make it anymore and I lost mty bag one night and it was in there and have neither been able to replace it.
At the mo I were tommy girl I love it and the summer ck one . On special Ocasions I wear Estee Lauder Beautiful or Gerruti Image its more of a unisex one but I love it and have been wearing it for years you only need a little bit or else it's a bit over powering. My favourite now after ocean dreams would have to be Issey miyaki think thats how you spell it should buy a bottle havn't had any of that for ages maybe I will wait till I finish a bottle I already have. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">  Was danni-chick Mum to James My Angel 28/07/08 |

I get terrible allergies to perfumes and scents, sometimes if someoine is wearing some near me i can go from just getting a snuffly nose to having full on sneezing, wheezing runny eyes etc. So i have to be careful what i myself use because once it's on it's hard to get back off again, i'm stuck with the results for at least a day.
I used to love body shops white musk, anything vanilla, MIL recently got me some CK one i think it is, i finally got up the courage to try it and it seems to be ok in small doses. Mainly i just stick to body butters and moisturisers and shower gels in all the same scent to layer the scent - all from body shop - so usually am quite fruity. I love their Mango ones, and i got their strawberry one too mmm smells like hubba bubba, but have gone off it with increased sense of smell lately. ooh and a few others i used to nick from my mum sometimes were Paris, and poison (the green one) and J'adore.. they seemed to be ok too. (must be anything slightly expensive, lol) my brother buys her the expensive stuff and she never used it so someone had to.lol instead she had this really nasty stuff called Tabu that she used to splather all over her everytime she went out - that caused serious reactions with me. (hopefully not offending anyone who likes tabu) lol ------------- Janine and her 2 cool chicks, Paris & Ayja

My favourite is Ana Sui, Sui Dreams.
I just love it so much and so does Hubby. Second to that is Red by Hugo Boss. LOL at Tabu, Janine. My best friend from school had that one and another classic called 'Tweed' that she would smother herself in when we went out with the boys. It would have my eyes streaming and sneezing along with an awful headache. I never had the guts to tell her to tone it down though. ------------- Mel, Mummy to E: 6, B: 4 and:

My absolute fav is Diorella. Unfortunately they don't seem to sell it in NZ anymore, but it's probably cheaper on strawberrynet anyway! After that I love tendre poison, hypnotic poison, chanel no 5, chanel chance, in love again, paris springtime edition, jean paul gaultier summer.

| Kenzos - Flowers is the one i'm currently wearing. I usually try something different when ever i'm going thru Farmers. Estee Lauders Green Tea is nice. I like florals, and refreshing scents anything with vanilla. I had Jean Paul Gaultier's Summer i love the bottles. |

Oooo Maree... my mum's scent is Paloma too... she can't go without it. (Don't worry - my mum is a funky lady)
My absolute all time favourite is Clinique Happy. I would almost die if I couldn't wear it. I do have a few others that were given as gifts but I am so taken with Happy that they rarely get used... Baby Doll, Oscar de la Renta Citrus, Arden Beauty. I just bought Hugo Boss Femme, but decided that I probably won't use it enough so put it on trademe (Note: auction running now )
Perfume is looovely... feel naked without it. |

I love strawberry net too!!!! Purfume is also my big love!!! When I was at uni I worked in a pharmacy so got to play with purfume all day 
Hmmm...let's see what I have... D&G light blue, gucci rush, gucci, madness, jean paul gaultier (spl?), christian dior addict, diesel, coco mademoiselle. My mood and the weather influences what I wear. Gucci rush reminds me of my partying uni days and (sort of) reminds me of a hangover so I avoid that now... I wore coco mademoiselle on my wedding day, so thats a pretty special one. I'd love to have more purfume, but it costs too much $$$ now that I'm a mum ------------- My beautiful 2 girls...nearly 4 and 13 months

I really love Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and in the past if I've been asked in regards to Christmas/birthday presents, that is the one that boyfriends in the past have bought me.. But!! Current DP decided (Virgo male) that because he had to smell me, he would get one that he liked. Namely, Charlie Red.
He managed to dig his way into a rather large hole when coming up with numerous reasons why he liked it. 1) He used to flat with a woman who wore it and when she got in his car, it made the car smell nice for a day or two. and B) It was in the bargain bin at the Warehouse
