I used to love the Body Shop's Tobacco Flower which sounds vile but smelt divine and was in a really nice art decco style glass bottle... then they stopped making it! Grrr! I always thought that smelt quite burly.

Just wondering if there are any perfumes that have burlesque connections or are considered to be burly?

I don't know about burly connections; but I've just discovered one that makes me not want to wear anything else - not a stitch. I think it's like lingerie in a bottle. As soon as I put it on I feel sexy as hell! I guess it's not for everyone as it's quite spicy and potent but I adore it. It's supposed to be a combo of rose, amber and patchouli. Midnight Poison by Christian Dior. Mmmm. Makes one feel entirely womanly.

Hi honey
I am a channel girl and always have been at the moment I will not wear anything else but Chance and don't feel right on stage if I have not got it on.

My mum used to use the original Poison and I loved it as a kid - that plastic crystal lid was always being stolen and used as some sort of jewel in my games! That Midnight Poison sounds fab Innocent, I love patchouli. But the only perfume I've ever used is Amor Amor, really nice and girly scent!

Innocent - I think I will!

BB - do it! There's something about that woman that really grates on me - oh yes, it's the lack of talent ...

(I'm not bitchy really ^_^)

Poison makes me sick I can not stand the stuff I can't not be near anyone wearing it I don't what it is but its like I have an allergic reaction to the stuff.
Sorry ladies if you like it and you are wearing it and I am not friendly don't take it personally lol

The Penhaligons range of perfumes are rather splendid, I wear Malabah, it's rather exotic.

I personally love Dior Poisen, everyone always compliments me on it!
I love the bottle design!

You should go and see some of B Make up (sister company of Lush) their perfumes are divine & the bottle have the little puff spray!!!

Have a try of the B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful range - 1000 Kisses Deep is my favourite scent. There are even fans imbued with their scents, and in some of their ranges, pomanders.

They do make rather lovely scents, it's just such a shame their make up is such poor quality as the packaging is divine too.
