What fragrances do you and dh wear?
Just curious. How long have you've worn this fragrance and have you tried anything new recently? My dh hates to wear anything and I usually stick to the one bottle that I have. Currently it is Lovely by SJP. I have worn Cashemere by Donna Karan, Beautiful by Estee Lauder and Anais Anais by Cacherel. I have started wearing Euphoria by Calvin Klein. At first I didn't like it but now I do. It's one fragrance that actually last for hours on my skin.
I LOVE all the philosophy fragrances (amazing grace, pure grace, baby grace, falling in love and even have the new one too) and recently dd bought a bottle of Britney Spears Fantasy and I liked it so much I went out and bought a bottle of it along with the lotion. LOL
DH wears Halston Z-14 Aftershave. Yum! For a long time I rarely wore perfume because I'm sensitive to fragrances, and many make me physically ill. A couple years ago, thanks to Eve, I discovered Origins. Their perfumes don't bother me! My favorites are Ginger Essence and Fretnot.
Very Sexy by Victoria's Secret for me, and Burburry Brit for DH. I LOVE Brit, one of our friends had it, and I immediately bought a bottle for DH.
I haven't worn perfume since I started bf my daughter. I guess bf'ing for 15 months just got me out of the habit of wearing perfume.
I used to be a faithful Eternity wearer. My sister got me hooked on that when she gave me some as a gift. Before that, over the years, I've worn Charlie, Chanel, and various fragrances by Avon, because I used to sell it. One of Oprah's "Favourite Things" last year was "Lovely" by Sarah Jessica Parker. Like Annie, I just LOVE it! I had to go to the Mall to smell it first, because, like Karen, I've gotten very sensitive to a lot of fragrances, too. (One Christmas, poor DH bought me Halston. I couldn't wear it. It gave me terrible migraines. And this, after I complained that he never bought me anything "girlie". He'd always buy me floor mats for my car or something. LOL!) I bought the Lovely body lotion because I didn't want to spend too much. Then, my Shawn surprised me last Christmas and bought me the cologne. I LOVE it. It is very light and clean. As for DH (Mr."auto parts" ), he only wears Nivea after shave lotion for sensitive skin, which has no fragrance. He does use a masculine shower gel (Axe, I think) that smells nice. However, he only uses it because the DS's leave it in the shower. For years, all he'd use is Dial bar soap, on his hair and everything. The boys wear Axe or Tag body spray, and it is nice. My DD used to love Liz Claiborne, but come to think of it, I haven't smelled anyhting on her either since she breast fed Megan.
Annie, I LOVE Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan. It's my *new* favorite scent. I also have some Calvin Klein Euphoria. Vicki, DD Jen loves the Pure Grace - I had samples and she like them so much, I bought some for her. She also loves D & G Light Blue, which is all she wore until she discovered Philosophy. I still have old standbys - White Diamonds, V.S. Heavenly, Burberry Brit, Calvin Klein Obsession, Kenneth Cole Black and Paloma Picasso. The Burberry Brit and Obsession are my *winter* purfumes. I am more likely to wear Cashmere Mist or Heavenly right now.
Code by armani - dh's favorite on me, I think it's a little strong though and only wear it at night. Be Delicious by dkny - green apple scent, I love it. Pacific paradise by escada I have a few others but those are my 3 favorites.
my Dh wears obsession I don't wear any perfume because it makes my stomach upset and gives me a headache
Perfumes and scents often make DH sneeze, badly, so I don't wear anything. I usually forget, anyway. In the past, I have loved both Lauren (for me) and Polo by Ralph Lauren. One of the doctors, where I used to work, always wore Polo.
I never wear perfume!
