I love buying perfumes, I have loads although to be honest I usually buy them as much for the bottle as for the smell!

Some of my top 'smells' are: Dior addict, which is my performing one, DKNY is my 'not performing but doing something Cherry Noir-ish' one, Angel is my favourite going out one and my all time favourite is Les Belle De Ricci, the scent of my mis-spent youth - unfortunately discountinued now, but I do have a couple of bottles stock-piled and stashed away for emergencies  Wink   I also really do love the pink Brittany one, think it's Fantasy, although I got Paris Hilton's for Christmas this year and whenever I wear it I get accused of smelling like a whore...

I wanted Boudior for the bottle just as much as the smell

I'll have to have a smell of this Boudoir - I thought I had but maybe I didn't.

I got Delices De Cartier for my wedding and I lurve it Smile

I've also got Angel & Armani Elle/She that I wear quite often. I used to love All About Eve by Joop! It smelled of apples  Smile

Ooh, I do love appley fragrances, must seek that one out!  My very best apple smell was a Lush soap called Temptation - it was bright green and smelt of crisp, tart apples and cinnimon.  When I found out they were discontinuing it (as is the way with all my favorite scents, and annoyingly red lipsticks), I went out and bought 1kg of it - I still have a chunk left hidden in a draw that I can't bring myself to use as it my last - yes, I am a bit of a horder  Embarassed

I wear versache(or however you spell it)  red jeans in the day (i think it smells a bit like red jelly laces) and AP maitresse on nights out.

I used to love the perfumes from Sephora ... they did a tangerine one (not just regular orange but tangerine! drool) and a parma violet one... i do love violet... but i don't live anywhere near a sephora and anyway i think that range was discontinued (nuts!)

I remember buying a perfume in the 1980s called My Sin (it was by Arpege) simply because I loved the name!  From memory it was quite bitter but I loved it ayway, and it came in a red box.  I'd love to have another smell of it, but I expect it is long gone.

Oh smells, they are so evocative.

I wear the new Stella in the purple bottle for daytime. It's just a touch more heady than the original.

I use Tigi Oatmeal & Cookie body wash and moisturiser, Oatmeal & Honey Shampoo & Conditioner and Palmers Cocoa Butter body shine topped off with L by Lolita Lempicka EDP.  Is wanting to smell like cake a fetish? Smile

I'm a Jo Malone girl.

My fave is figs and Cassis. And I love the whole scent combining, you really can tailor something to suit your personality/mood/time of day etc.

I highly reccomend her stuff Smile
