What is your favorite fragrance? I tend towards the drier, spicier scents, so my favorites are Paloma Picasso and Burberry. I also wear Samsara, Aromatique, Opium, Aro, Youth Dew, and Shalimar.

Please, if your preferred scent is body odor, please keep it to yourself. That is just way more than I want to know.

uuuhh. touch, the axe flavor.

L'Occitane en Provence's Orange and Cinammon (canelle orange).
I also like Happy and green tea.

Bob Mackie......only thing I wear perfume wise. Its absolutely breathtaking. Go smell it!

I do wear a Vanilla/Caramel scented lotion sometimes when I'm in a jeans and t-shirt kind of mood. It smells like a sugar cookie.

I wear Ralph Lauren Style or Georgio Armani Sensi. However, for my birthday I am hoping for a bottle of Hugo Boss Deep Red (its really different, but I love it).

On men, my new obsession is Christian Dior Higher Energy. The power that has over me is insane. :)

uuuhh. touch, the axe flavor.

that's a good one. My husband is a cabinet maker so he uses that body spray as a body deodorant in the summer. Phew! When he cleans up and goes respectable he favors Aramis.

Old Spice or Axe: Voodoo

I look for essential oils that are skin safe. My favorite right now is ginger lily. Second is green tea.

Patchouli and stale cigarette smoke.

Lynx during the day, something more expensive on nights out.

We could add to this thread by telling what scent you like best on your significant other. I like Aramis and Dakar Noir.

my favourite smells?

burning pete
freshly cut grass
petrol
new car smell

Vanilla and caramel, and other "comfort" scents.

Thierry Mugler's Angel,
Gift by....I forget.
I quite like the Ralph Lauren one too.

Burning rubber's good too. Nothing like the smell of a car in a garage though. And for some reason, the smell of silicon sealant.

What scent do I like on my girlfriend? I have no idea, I just buy whatever she points to in the shop. Easier that way. Expensive, but easy.

cuecomber/watermellon.. omg adictive..
orchids and violets :D~~ very sexy scents

two good ones there

I like the smell of clean linen.

I'm so domestic it makes me want to cry. :(

I do wear a Vanilla/Caramel scented lotion sometimes when I'm in a jeans and t-shirt kind of mood. It smells like a sugar cookie.I'm not sure whether that makes me hungry or horny... :confused:

I wear Drakkar Noir.

Guys: Unless you already have a GF (who just wants to avoid smelling BO), do NOT wear Axe.
You may think it says "sexy", but any reasonable single woman could tell ya,
it just says "cheap".

Fresh clean linen, freshly ironed, does smell good. I can't claim being all that domestic. I do what I have to do to keep us socially acceptable.

I wanted to give that same Axe advice, but I decided to keep my mouth shut.


So yeah...from a girl's perspective....Axe=YUCK.

I'm not one for ironing linen. If you hang it just right to dry it doesn't need it. The same goes for most clothes. :P

And is Axe what we in Australia call Lynx? It seems like it. It's called Ego in South Africa... My darling bf uses it. I actually prefer him without it, unless he's all sweaty of course. *wrinkles up face*

I like Drakkar on a guy ....and this one fragrance at Bath and Body works. I cant remember which one...but its a fresh, clean, but manly, rugged smell. If that makes sense.


(You should smell the Bob Mackie, Eichen)

of course some things smell different on different people. I let a friend wear my perfume once, and it did NOT smell the same as it did on me.

I wear the cheap shit that stops BO. If they made a nice marijuana scent I would wear it...... Nothing like the smell of freshly cured bud :D

This will probably offend someone, but I really hate the Avon colognes. Those things are just plain nasty!

It does a good job on controlling perspiration odor. Summer here in Arkansas usually produces some 100+ (F) days so the alternative makes it smell pretty good.

Some guy wore Brut(that icky stuff in the green plastic bottle) the other day and came in my office and I almost had to go outside. Do NOT use that stuff. I thought he had spilled something on his shirt that smelled like a combination of diesel fuel and mustard .

Yeah...way overpowering....reminds me of the junior high days when the guys would DOUSE themselves with Aspen. Makes me nauseous just thinking about it.

LOL, that's the kind of stuff that dirty old men wear. You know, the kind with bad haircuts, stubby shorts and sunburn.

Mmmm diesel fuel...


Youd love the way my jobsite smells Mc.....I work for a construction company. All kinds of manly smells going on there-lol

I'm old enough that I shouldn't have sniggered at that. Ah well, never mind. Its nothing compared to the smell of an aircraft hangar, I can tell ya.

tea green, morning glory, and peach

sweaty, hot, mango-laced sex

Bath and Body Works Warm Vanilla Sugar - especially during cooler weather

lavender in hot weather

frankensence for a spicy scent in fall and around the holidays.

and on men - Aramis

What is your favorite fragrance?

Aloe vera and tea tree, with lavender tangerine a moderately removed third. I love natural, soothing green scents, followed by citrus.

Esscence of YAK.LOL

Issey Miyake or Dolce & Gabbana

Classic fragrances for the classiest of occasions. :)

Axe Phoenix. The Lady loves it, and some random girl I didn't know complimented me on it last year.

My Lady wears cucumber watermelon when we go out. Or when she wants to seduce me. It smells very yummy.

[/FONT]I'm new here... uh... my scent is dove :p

Crotch.

Not other people's crotches. Your own.

Now I have to ask:

What colonge/scent/whatever do women like coming off a guy? (in all seriousness)

As I said before, I am currently in love with Christian Dior Higher Energy. But I also love Ralph Lauren Romance for men. Mmmmm. Makes me all shades of randy. lol.

Love cinnamon and mint (I have scented lipbalm in both, and I love them ever so much). Vanilla&Raspberry scented body lotion/lip balm/hair spray was a huge favourite for a while. Still is, really, but I'm running low on supplies.

Always loved lemon grass. Mmm, so nice. Especially when it's really hot out and I use lemon grass scented body-spray in conjunction with my tiny-battery-powered fan.

With perfumes I tend to like spicier scents... in fact, my favourite 'perfume' is actually an Italian aftershave I stole off my dad before I was old enough to know any better... hang on, I'll check what it is:

'Roccobarocco; Jeans', apparently. I might be mistaken about it being aftershave, but that's what I seem to recall.

On guys I tend to also like spicy-ish scents... pretty much anything that I can't smell unless I'm up close is good though. If I can smell it from more than a foot away it's a turn-off. Bleah.

My crotch smells of strawberries and willow blossoms.

Winston Churchill actually had a cologne made that smelled like booze and cigar smoke... It didn't take off, wonder why? I'd certainly wear it.

Love cinnamon and mint (I have scented lipbalm in both, and I love them ever so much).Um, what does it taste like? :D

My crotch smells of strawberries and willow blossoms.
Strange, mine smells of *sniff*... oh dear god!! :eek:

Um, what does it taste like? :D

Hee, they're two separate lipbalms... and, they taste like sugar mainly. The cinnamon one tastes a *little* bit cinnamon-y I think, but that might just be the over-powering scent confusing my poor tastebuds.

The mint one tingles when I'm wearing it. It's the bestest ^.^

Mmm... perhaps I can find out for myself? May I... -ahem- have a taste?

You know, in the interest of science of course! :D

i actually smell like chemiicals most of the time though, esp. during busy weeks at work.

Natural body odor is ok but not unhigenic people

i would pay to see a black chick head banging to heavy metal in scrubs, smelling like dead body.

Christian Dior's Hypnotic Poison

Now I have to ask:

What colonge/scent/whatever do women like coming off a guy? (in all seriousness)

I like the scent of fresh-out-of-the-shower guy, unless he uses one of those man-scented soaps. Really, they screw with the pheromones, don't use those.

Personally, I hate it when you are sitting next to a guy and you can smell his cologne. Or those sport-scented deodorants. Ugh, it's like walking down the detergent aisle at the market.

I like a cologne that's really subtle and that you can't smell unless you're really close, intimately close, like take your shirt off close. As far as the best scent, it's different for every guy. Depends on how it mixes with your own scent.

I like the scent of fresh-out-of-the-shower guy

Mmmmm....

*drools* And you know how people's skin has its own unique smell? And I'm not talking about sweat or anything here... Yum.

that's exactly what i'm talking about.

really guys, i think you've been conditioned to think that by nature you smell a lot worse than you really do. take a shower and do your laundry and you'll smell great just as you are.

Something between Chemical Fire and Burnt Waffles.

My animality *growl*

Please, if your preferred scent is body odor, please keep it to yourself. That is just way more than I want to know.
Oh.... sorry. :( :fluffle:

That's pretty much what I do. Shower, do laundry, etc.

I wear a neutral deoderant, but I use patchouli and cedar oil in my laundry, so that's pretty much a constant smell following me around. I smell positively ancient.

Something between Chemical Fire and Burnt Waffles.

mmmmmm ... sporty!

but I use patchouli and cedar oil in my laundry
Ooh, nice. I shall steal your idea now... :D

At the moment Very Irresistible by Givenchy.

I also liked some of the Armani scents.

Fran

Cool Waters........mmmmmm

Dior - Higher

and not just caus my g/f likes it either! :D

I'll wear whatever people buy me for Xmas/bday etc...at the moment it's some Hugo Boss thing. Oh, and those Impulse body sprays. And due to the fact I spend much of my time in smokey/sweaty clubs and pubs, there's also the faint aroma of smoke and things. Nice...

On my bf however...Ultraviolet (he got heaps of that for his birthday...*whistles innocently*)

I like Jean Paul Gaultier's Le Homme - and before you even think it, I even wear Calvin Klein underwear, so little surprise I get mistaken for being gay all the time!
However, my g/f (that's GIRL-friend! in case you got the wrong idea from the above sentence) gave me some Armani black code for Valentines, and it's a really nice smell. Also stays a long time. I sprayed some on my t-shirt at 11am before going to work. After work (7pm) I went to the gym, showered and went to a dinner party (where I met a guy who's a promoter and has met Chris Martin, Gyneth Paltrow, Westside and REM among others which was interesting. 6 degrees of seperation and all that), and when we went home at 1am, my g/f mentioned she could still smell it.
So very impressed. I would recommend it.

Lagerfeld's Chloe, or The Body Shop's Japanese Musk.

The Healing Garden Jasminetherapy. I have the body spray and body wash

What is your favorite fragrance? I tend towards the drier, spicier scents, so my favorites are Paloma Picasso and Burberry. I also wear Samsara, Aromatique, Opium, Aro, Youth Dew, and Shalimar.I also prefer spicier scents. My favourite is Penhaligon's Night Scented Stock (from the Language of Flowers collection), although I'm beginning to worry that they don't make it anymore. :( In any case, I really love it - has a very cinnamon-y scent.

I also love Chanel N.5 - spicy, powdery, no wonder it's a classic!

We could add to this thread by telling what scent you like best on your significant other. I like Aramis and Dakar Noir.Whoa, now this is getting freaky - I, too, love Drakkar Noir.

(The powdery, spicy, musky scent scent always makes me melt!)

EDIT: sometimes men's fragrances smell a little sweet to me - and I'm sorry, but no man should smell like he's bathed in powdered sugar.
