The Fragrance Thread

http://www.smellmeand.com/index_2.html



but seriously... what is everyone wearing?

im trying to use up all my aqua di gio before i go, ive got a sealed issey miyake and some new ck to take with me tho.

can you get it duty free khem?

probably, but i probably wont bother... ive heard of people getting shit confiscated if they have over 100ml and it doesnt fit in one of those small plastic bags due to the new carry on restrictions to prevent people taking liquid explosives on planes. not just fragrances, but pretty much all duty free alcohol as well... havent heard if they have worked a way around that yet.

i'm using ck euphoria for men lately.

also use issey miyake and aqua di gio.

i wear flowers by kenzo!!  it is nice!

I wear Fire and Ice or Ralph Lauren Cool

Love Dunhill Red and aqua di gio boy smells mmm

I wear Fire and Ice or Ralph Lauren Cool :inlove:

I want to get either Aqua Di Gio and Issey Miyake next.

L'eau d'Issey Pour Homme - Issey Miyake

Davidoff - Cool Water

Celine Dion

Desperate housewives

Shiseido - Zen

And an Avon one - Be... Tempting

oh, and i also have dunhill blue.

used to have red, but found out ali hated it and sal loved it, so gave the rest of my bottle to some pirate.

My all time favourite is CK Be x eleventy billion

Dunhill Blue is what i'm sportin.. Love thst shit

Ali needs to have her nosebuds checked!

Ali needs to have her nosebuds checked! :E

Issey Miyake is completely sexual.

i obviously agree entirely.

 

agreed with. Its always in the rotation. At the moment, really diggin Polo Double Black(heaps different to what i normally run) and CK in2u. very fresh!

the CKin2u for women is the bomb too. Lauren wears it a lot. makes me want to bite her

i used to run polo sport a while back...awesome smell to it, might check that double black out mate, if its anything like the vodkas its probably the goods 

Depending on my mood I switch between these few...

•Issey Miyake L'Feu De Issey Light, Ltd edt (femme)
•Gaultier 2 (uni sex)
•Eden by Cacharel (femme)
•D&G By (femme)
•Armani Code (homme) - even though it's for boys, it smells damn fine on girls too!

I    D&G BY (homme) on men... Mmmm!

My man wears the blue Issey Miyake & this other one, I can't remember what it's called, but it makes me want to jump him
<<I'll find out, so all you boys can get that sort of reaction too hehe>>

for me, its dkny red delicious all the way, yummmyyyyy



i also love thierry mugler's ALIEN, but its siillllyyyyy money!



I'm a MASSIVE fan of any of Chanel's frangrances for men, most recently bought this for Gary, again silly money but sooooo lush and sexy

I'm still using Stella and love it but want to find something else too. I think I'm in love with ambery smells 

I was sometimes wearing Clarins Par Amour tou jours until my boss said I smelt like a winery and buzz thought I had been drinking gin!

 

double black makes me weak at the knees.

haven't smelt that blackXS yet but if the guy advertising it is anything to go by, phwoar 

has anyone smelt prince's fragrance yet?

Vera Wang for men... Dear lord! That is the ultimate scent IMO 

Vera Wang for men... Dear lord! That is the ultimate scent IMO  :biggrin:

I have a sample of Mark Jacobs Daisy coming in the post soon. I need a new smell, Tommy Girl is getting old ;p I hope this one is alright : )

on rotation at the moment....

Ralph Lauren - Polo Double Black

Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male

Kenzo - Male

CK - Be

CK - One

Davidoff - Echo

Just ran out of Heaven, and have a bottle of Cool Water i just want to ditch.



next to pick up....


Armani - Attitude

Jean Paul Gaultier - Fleur Du Male

and another one i cant remember, think it was a new Ralph Lauren one in a khaki bottle...


ADDICT!

hehe "Wang" *snicker*

not a fan

just smells like talcum powder to me

then again i could be confused

yeah i didnt like it till Lauren had tried some on herself and i smelt it on. Much different

nah khem u got it wrong! u can take as much liquids in your main luggage, long as u dont mind it rattling round in teh cargo hold! the only baggage restrictions for liquids involves carry-on - can only take a 1 l zip lock bag full, and every container MUST be 100ml or less. U can buy duty free stuff no probs, and carry it on the plane, but u have to check sometimes cause some airports (ie heathrow) will make u go through security a few times, and u may have some problems with bringing duty free items back onboard

passing through heathrow i bought the Lancome limited edition fragrance, Bengal. It certainly is spicy and very different!

yeah if you buy from duty free in the airport you get it sealed and you have to pick it up at the boarding gate

did that earlier yestoday

you said what I wa thinking!!!

:lol: you said what I wa thinking!!! :lol:

JPG Fleur da male for me atm

the misses rolls out the D&G light blue (MMMmmmmmm) sweet

Liar, you is alternating between:


&

for yer Sunday besterest

I wear Ghost.
I also like coco chanel

if you're into the dunny ya gotta get onto the Winnie Blue

I got a sample of Marc Jacobs for buzz... at first it's smells average good, but then it turns into nummy num nums 

Put on layby the Hilary Duff - In Love perfume - Got a massive pack for cheap as! 

Does anyone know what the DKNY red delicious and the other one smell like? If so can you please describe it?  I think I really want it but have no idea what it smells like.

getting ck electric this week for my birthday.

We get Armani perfume at about 2/3 of the price at work. Armani Mania is a heaps nice guy smell : )
I'm going to re-stock up on Cool Water, mine's almost empty !
Can anyone recommend something that's fresh and fruity like Cool Water ??

Yves Saint Laurent - M7 is my fav. Apparently it has a natural aphrodisiac in it, look out ladies 

I think you mean ladies 

... or do you? 

was a typo obviously, corrected 

The new Mariah Carey fragrance smells heaps pretty : )

The new Mariah Carey fragrance smells heaps pretty : )

Got some Diesel Fuel For Life for my b'day... not bad, not bad

Its divine!

My sister bought me Fantasy by Britney Spears yesterday

Got my Hilary Duff pack off layby a few weeks back now, oh my, its divine, I wear it all the time!!!

I've had so many people ask me what I'm wearing when I wear it! 

Getting more Ralph Lauren- Cool for xmas

Getting more Ralph Lauren- Cool for xmas :w00t:

Thanks to my uncle buying me duty free doubles of everything I already have, I'll be wearing the same rotation I've been running for years which is: Issey Miyake, Aqua Di Gio, Polo Blue.

I recently bought Hugo Boss Grey, didn't like it at first but I'm sold now.

I love Hugo Boss bottled on men, its divine!!!!!

pretty much my all time fave that one...just found out it may not be getting made anymore, found some on ebay though

i want more flowers by kenzo!

Been using DKNY Red Delicious lately

Still love J-Lo Live though

Oh and on guys, I absolutely love Zegna

thats my utter favourite! I was just about to run out and the kids got me a massive bottle and matching body lotion for christmas!! mmmmm...so so good....

I got more CK Be for christmas

I got Myles some Acqua Di Gio by Giorgio Armani for Christmas, mmm mmm!! Smells delish!

I wore CKone today ... I've been wanting to hump my own leg all day. An oldie but sooo nice !

I picked up some Hugo Boss Grey from the Jatujak Markets on Sunday, it cost me 900 baht so less than $40 and it is 100% genuine! There's this wicked little stall with all sorts of perfumes all legit and all around the 1000 baht mark. Awesome stuff!

Scored a 100ml bottle of Boss at Myer's after-xmas sales in the city last week for $59

Anyone want a 100ml bottle of Davidoff Cool Water Deep that my mum bought me for xmas?

I liked Cool Water for a few months YEARS ago and still have my original. Since then she has bought me another one and now this Deep shit.

farkern!!

Out of interest, how do you know it's genuine stuff you're buying?

DKNY Be Delicious is a fave of mine atm


Am yet to try the Red variety!!

Yeah I was taken there by a local specifically because it was 'the stall where they sell the real perfume', I don't know how he does it but this guy has this little stall and it's all genuine stuff in genuine bottles. Maybe he has some contacts somewhere and gets it at cost?

Realistically I suppose you can't tell for sure but it looks and smells legit, and it's not a significant saving you make, it's not like you're paying 20 bucks or something then it would seem pretty sus.

the boys love it when i wear that!!

 

Go to the Perfume Connection (or something like that. it's a blue store) in the C Area on the ground level of MBK for mega cheap perfume, costs about the same as from Chatuchak and its a much nicer environment to buy the stuff.

If you grab the tester bottle its even cheaper - I paid AU$30 for my big bottle of JPG Le Male!!

Oh yeah - its all legit too.

Sweet cheers Kurko, I'll check it out next time I am in need of a purchase!

I've been rotating RSVP by Kenneth Cole, Gucci Envy and Hugo for a few months now. Gucci isn't really for me but it is nice, Hugo is good but it's certainly missing the 'Wow' factor (and the actual smell doesn't seem to last as long as most imo), but RSVP is one I don't think I'll ever tire of.

my dad gave us all Green Tea by Liz Arden for xmas, at first I was like..>Whatever, but I really like it!! He also bought me a gift pack of it (mmm shower gel n the like). he also wanted me to buy myself a perfume I wanted, as another present (he never paid me back for it tho!!!!) so I grabbed Lolita Lempicka I really wanted Anna Sui's Secrets (or is it Dreams? I forget) but it was sold out

I've got some Boss, some Issey Miyake, some Aramis Life and some Joop (old school I know, but the chicks still dig it).

I smell pretty. 

Rya, Gucchi envy is hot hot hot! My favourite on boys.. I think.. altho I always have an open mind..(or open nostrils?)

I just bought Elizabeth Arden Meditteranean, which is a nice cool day scent.

Dior - Midnight Poison is my favourite sexy nightime fragrance right now...love wearing it!

Got some Mariah Carey perfume for my birthday, yeah I don't really like it.

It smelt horrible with the first spray, doesn't smell as bad with the second but it's not going to be one of my favourites.

Then again these are the people who gave me Chanel No.5 for my birthday a few years back

Currently wearing Mariah Carey M, smells divine!

Ooh I love that scent too Hayley! WIll have to check out Meditarranean, also

You like it?



I hate it, it might grow on me though, if it doesn't you can have my bottle

i quite like that one!!!


and liam... what did you wear friday?  it was yum!

I love it big time!

So are u also saying you hate the smell of me  

Bet you'd love the smell of me if I wore Eau De Cabbage!   

You don't smell like that perfume though .. hrmmm, i'll try it out for a week and see how it goes.

If not, it's yours

Eau De Cabbage!! Hot!!

That was the Miyake. Hot!

here is a fragrance for all the junglists in the place

image not archived: 0608119.jpg

 

Mmmmm just got a big bottle of the new Escada perfume from airport shopping.  Tony got the man version.  We are so gross out, that's 2 out of 2 fragrances that we have the same now. It's just cos we have the same tastes really, it wasn't on porpoise. 

chanel - allure

only bad thing about it is i wear it

i just got the new marc jacobs perfume - daisy

yum

I tried Zegna on the weekend and it smells nice. Might have to buy myself a bottle of that soon I reckon.

u just want the smell of me on you cos u can't have the real me on your chest 

but seriously good cologne - always draws a comment, but due to its "fresh" smell, it doesn't last as long as some of the muskier ones, still my fav tho

Zegna =

i need new perfume... accidentally knocked mine onto the floor and smashed it... nooooooooooo!

I picked up Black XS by Paco Rabanne the other week... it's been a hit so far

This oldish lady was wearing Cool Water for Women in the elevator this morning. I wanted to start humping her leg, after all these years it still does funny things to me ;p

 

it does funny things to me too. hahaha

I lourve cool water!

I also like Elizabeth Arden Green tea, its an oldie but a goodie

I'm currently wearing Eau De Sweat. Such a refreshing scent!

The female version is lovely, my girlfriend wears it - very nice. I smelt the mens one yesterday, it ain't too bad either, but they've outdone themselves on the ladies version IMO.

I'm rocking Clinique Happy for Men mostly at the moment, fresh as!

DKNY just released a 'delicious night' fragrance...very keen to try it since I am such a big fan of the red delicious scent

 


my new perfume gives quaz a headache

Oh no, what is it?

Daisy by Marc Jacobs

I always smell this horrible perfume on old women. I asked a friend ( as a joke ) ' Do they have a perfume for old women or something ?! ' and he said ' yes, it's called Red Door ' ... He was right. I've asked a few old women what perfume they're wearing and that was it !
Does anyone else think it smells horrible ?

I love my Armani Mania : ) Smells heaps yummie : )

Haha, I've thought that for years!!!
And yes, it is horrible... it reminds me of wrinkley, old, saggy women!!!

One lady told me that when she wore it, it attracted wasps !

finally got a bottle of polo sport, used to run it non stop but haven't had any for years. it is out of production but me old mate ebay came through. oh the memories of a few summers ago came flooding back when i first sprayed it

Reminds me, Polo Black is frikken HAWT!!

haven't sussed the black one. this is what i'm on about.

I am on Polo Black right now, I like it's sparkling top notes and fruity boquet

  @ Rob!!!

old school

i was devo when i dropped my bottle of it and it smashed everywhere, was still about half full...

I have the ladies version...

The mens is divine too!

there's a perfume I like but i don't know what its called

might need to do a sniff-a-thon at myer soon :p

I've definitely seen that round here mate, all over the place, the real deal too. Don't think it's out of production...get your olds to grab you some, doubt it's available duty free, but it's still cheap in the shops here.

will do g to tha lock. cheers mate.

From skrufff...

Scratch N Sniff DJs Come Up Smelling Of Roses

A new study of Turkish perfume buying habits has revealed that more men
 than women now wear scent, with 49% of men splashing it on, compared
 to 46% of women.

The TGI Turkey survey also revealed that one in three men consider
 aftershave as unequivocally perfume while one in four ‘don’t care about the
 price’.

The findings matched the habits of DJs including Gavin Wyn, Sweden’s
 the Touch and London man-about-town DJ Paolo Mojo, who told Skrufff
 ‘price is never a factor - you cant put a price on this (points to self).’

“Scent is an integral part of the overall image, mate,” Paolo
 continued, “Currently I'm feeling Armani Black Code and Gucci Light Blue.”

Admitting he favours spicy colognes (‘we're talking sandal wood,
 cloves, cinnamon with undertones of citrus, lemon grass, kaffir limes and
 fresh ocean breeze’) the notorious metrosexual stressed the importance of
 selecting the right aroma (‘get it right and you’ll be picking the
 knickers off your face as you DJ’) and had sage advice for non-perfumed
 clubbers.

“Personally I’m not in the habit of smelling other men but I’m aware
 that smoke free clubs have brought the stinky chickens home to roost for
 a lot of individuals,” said Paulo, “There’s a lot of gentlemen out
 there that need to take a good long hard look at the hygiene mirror.
  There’s no place to hide anymore.”

Uber cool Gothenburg scenesters The Touch told Skrufff perfume is now
 mandatory in Swedish clubs following their own smoking ban, revealing
 ‘Andreas wears Bulgari (got it as a gift), Olov wears Fahrenheit 32 (got
 it as a gift) and Johan wears Human Existence by Laudamiel (really
 liked the book).’

All three Gothenburgers admitted being put off by inappropriate perfume
 selections (‘most people have very poor taste and go around smelling
 like flowers and window shine’) and disagreed with Paolo’s assertion
 that price doesn’t matter.

“You can't put a price on expensive hygiene,” they suggested, “Or maybe
 you can but we refuse to see the paradox.”

UK trance star Gareth Wyn also told Skrufff he routinely wears perfume
 (‘Gucci; my girlfriend chose it’) and agreed that ‘it’s never been so
 important for clubbers.’

“Perfume says a lot about a person. If you pong, it's wrong,” he
 quipped, “With everyone now smoking outside, men need to wear perfume in
 clubs to hide their BO (body odour). Perfume is now a must do.”

Gareth shared Paolo’s devil may care financial attitude (‘money is no
 object when it comes to a man's scent’) though admitted he’d started out
 on gateway scents including notoriously cheap and cheerful deodorant
 Lynx.

“I've worn Lynx Africa many a time, and I used to rob some of my old
 man's Brut talc 'n' powder and Old Spice splash on before a night out,”
 he confessed, “Add to that a pair of Kickers, gelled back hair and a Ben
 Shearman shirt, and I was ready for any party, any time, any where.”

The temp at work is wearing Dunhill Blue ... Smells soooooooooo nice !!

Coz it the best 

walked past a guy today that smelt unbelievable, it made me all weak at the knees. never smelt that smell before. gonna have to do some research i reckon.

Sat on the train next to a girl who smelled delicious today! Wanted to ask her what it was, but too shy

Oh hayley, even i'm not too shy to ask that. ask her if you see her again.

I reckon it was JPG for women or something like it...mmmm delicious.

OK if i see her again I will ask 

i get shy to ask too lol, it sounds like a pick up line!
wanted to ask a girl at uni the other day

Red ftw!

Traitor.

I loved Gucci Envy for men for so long but mostly cos my ex wore it and I was still in love (or something like love)..finally realising there are other sexy smells out there for guys 

stop calling me that!!1

i havent actually smelt blue but simon wears red, smells awesome

I was amazed when I first heard of Dunhill fragrances. I always associated that name with smokes! What was the smell gonna be? Eau de Tobacco or something?

Please tell me it's not the same company?

man i dreamt of that smell that made my knees weak last night. i was at a department store and seriously smelling every smell i could to find it but every smell was gross. they all had smells like burning rubber or dead ants.

 

haha not sure. but if it's aimed at bogans then i'm all for it, generally bogans will be stinky.

Same company. Dunhill is a mens brand.

Glock - go check out the store on Level 5 of Gaysorn Plaza, west side of BTS Chitlom Station. It's mackin'! The whole plaza is mackin actually.

Sweet, cheers. I think I know that plaza, I went there last year, haven't been back there yet. Might check it soon!


How in hell do you know what dead ants smell like, pretty handy with a magnifying glass when you were a kid hey? Sssssssizzle!

i thought everyone knew what dead ants smell like. Its highly recognizable

definitely - sif anyone hasn't smelt that! imagine ant smell.. but dead

I hate dead ant smell. The taste is even worse.

I fucking hate ants, a good cheap way to kill shitloads of them is to pour boiling water into the entrance of a nest.

Cunts.

any of the lads stumbled across any nice new fragrances?

I'm a fan of Armani Mania and Code, also for a more everyday scent I think its just Boss by Hugo Boss... Could be wrong on that one though.

I also have a full bottle of CK Obsession though I dont use it because its apparently an old man smell. Smelt heaps better from the tester I had. Dang.

oh so am i john, so am i!

Is it this one? I've got this it's pretty nice! Boss No. 6.

image not archived: MakeCappedImage.html

yeah thats nice-had it a few years ago. Very warm

Nah its in like a silver ball type container *confused*


Oohh just been told its Boss in motion...

Hugo 'silver ball with orange belt' is v. nice!

Ahh yes, I've got that one (if it has a blue ring around the ball) and it's quite good, doesn't have much staying power though.

Also got myself some of the original Issey Miyake today

my aqua di gio has almost run out, luckily i have an unopened box of issey miyake ready to take its place

goin on a hunt tonight - will report

im tapped out at the moment and looking for a new funk too

usher has a new fragrance out

i cant comment on it tho as i havent come across it yet

i love my lolita lempicka, its more of a winter fragrance so only just cracked the bottle for the first time since buying it for xmas

well - tried a few

New diesel is pretty nice - not my style tho
tried a couple of joop - Go & one in a red bottle

tried some oldies - amen, issey miyake - both nice

range was pissweak @ myer but ended up findin a new one for me - see what the review's are like saturday

i like what you wore before

I haven't had a new fragrance in ages.
There is so much out there it's totally overwhealming. When I worked for Calvin Klein many moons ago I used to be able to name a fragrance by smell, but not anymore!

I will definitely treat myself either duty free on my Thailand holiday. I am thinking Michael Kors.

- which one tho? Armani or Zegna? - both awesome imo

anyone recommend a decent place, usually chemists that has a decent range? is that place in the david jones basement good?

only if ya know what you want.

Perfume Connection - Marion & Harbourtown.  Online store too!

National Pharmacies .. for 20% off 
The one in the city has got a good range.

i believe its the zenga one.

nat, that reminded me, i get to get some duty free too in june, huraah/ better pick one.

I got some samples with the Issey Miyake I got. Intense by Issey seems to be quite nice, but I haven't tried it on the skin yet. There was also a little bottle of Dunhil London which seemed a little different, but quite good.

beats your usual Bong Water for men by CK

is that still the bottle i gave him?

SO FUNNY I FORGOT TO LAUGH

lol i had a bit of a chuckle for ya  i'm not a big CK fan either

I had the Lauren thing today, smelt this chick walk past,  no idea what the fragrance was - had pretend my shoelace was untied for 2mins

it's called pheromone for men.

horny bastard.

  its annoying hey. sucked in for having a willy.

I think it's more to do with me being the biggest stoner on the planet in Quaz's eyes. I've never worn a CK fragrance in my life. I'm an Armani Code man from way back, way back when it used to be Black Code. Which gets me thinking about why they changed the name? Was it deemed to be "OMFG RACIST!@$@"?

 



 

I love love love CK Be. It's my ALL TIME favourite, ever since I was 15.

Caroline sprayed me with some Paris Hilton fragrance and it's divine, I want some for myself!

i like CK In2U- both the mens and womens. The chicks one makes me tingly in the pants

I've got the mens one - I liked it so much I bought it the first time I smelt it but I rarely wear it for some reason...

i wear it everyday and it makes me want to have sex with myself.

 

when i sprayed my polo sport i felt as though my mojo had returned..

it seemed to work last nite 

You had sex with yourself?

the mind boggles.

 

really liking my new one its the beckham cologne - "intimately beckham" i certainly feel more intimate with my inner multi-million $ earning soccer playing self wearing it, but all female reports have been good so far

 

Sense of smell must have been a bit distorted the other day as this smells completely different now. Wearing it for the first time and loving it, might have to pick up some of this stuff.

Scored this on eBay.... I loved it when I was a teenager! 

image not archived: 3f0c1hf6.jpg

i'm intrigued. might have to check it out.

has anyone tried the shop just behind rundle st (ebeneezer place) for stuff? they seem to do really big discounts and i'm tempted to have a look (as long as they're not cheap rip off).

anyone?

not sure about that but check out price attack, got my davidoff game from there for $55 and it is a huge bottle.

I thought that said Om-nom 

nom nom nom

nah, i usually just get my grandfolks onto it for my birthday and christmas each year. means i get 2 different ones every year but only really go through half each.

the last couple of bottles though have lasted fuck all. need some more so i don't smell the same constantly.

ebay is also pretty cheap if you know what ya want...

lol at deathmaze that is an awesome name for a fragrance 

image not archived: om_nom.jpg


Had to be done! 

 

Awesome!

Went for a gander in Myer today....

Calvin Klein Mens Intense Euphoria

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb

oh I want to smell that one, the description sounds like my type of smell 

really?

First Sensation: bergamot, cardamom, sambac jasmine, orange blossom

Heart: centifolia rose, cattlya orchid, crimson orchid

Lasting Sensation: india osmanthus, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla



you can make sense of this?!?!?

it's great stuff, cross between angel, red door and light blue. sophisticated as phuck!

Kind of 

It all sounds good except for the vanilla... I never trust a perfume that contains vanilla!

Just scored this off of my points rewards scheme at work..

image not archived: EMPORIO-Armani-He-S.jpg

Gotta love not paying for fragrances

What one is that? My eyesight not so good anymore

Emporio Armani He
From the style guru Giorgio Armani comes this deeply sensual scent. Fresh green notes of Japanese yuzu and Mediterranean sage are mellowed by heart and base notes of cardamom, cedar, sandalwood and musk

ran that a few years ago-really nice

Good to hear.. Thats the only thing that sucks about ordering through the net.. you cant smell before you buy.. Totally trust your judgment though Q

sounds sweet! almost like Kenzo for men.

Yea the discription has everything I look for in a fragrance.. Nice fresh scents with woddy undertones

I need some new biz actually. My 3-4 on rotation are all getting low


and the shit your getting Grimes is perfectly timed. I always wore it in winter cos it has a warm vibe to it

same.

really need to get onto it.

Nice! good to know 

just ordered some anna sui  Dolly Girl on the beach, waiting fr it be delivered...Dolly Girl is one of my favourite scents ever so I'm hoping this new summer ltd edition version will be so nice!

I have absolutely no knowledge of perfume whatsoever (meaning I keep forgetting the names of the ones I like and I keep being given horrible ones) and I need to find a nice new scent.

I dislike musty ones, vanilla based ones or anything with aniseed (yes, aniseed, I smelled like licorice!) in it! Anything clean and fruity is good.

Ideas please?

Have you tried D&G Light Blue? I haven't worn it but when you smell it from the bottle it's clean and citrussy 

flowers by kenzo = yum

she said musty, i take is thats musky.

not floral. not citrus.

although D+G Light Blue is a lil musky

they are both in my favourites, kenzo flower is wicked!

I wouldn't wanna smell musty either 

Flower is very nice but it might be too musky and vanilla-y   

arrived and its brilliant! just like dolly girl but beachy! fuck though i havent worn it for about 4 years and i've been going through that whole smells bringing back memories thing since i've been wearing it.

its actually really cool, understanding how they make and test perfumes. i was going to work as a perfume girl one summer, i'd definitely do it again just for the training course!

i am wearing this today:

I have a cute miniature of Lolita Lempicka in a little golden carriage 

The smell is nice but I couldn't handle smelling it all day!


I hate that smells bringing back memories thing! I can't wear any old perfumes I used to wear even if I like the smell because I can't handle living in the past 

Dunhil London


Anyone smelt it?

yeha i dont wear it often, just for pub and going out situations...its too intense for just office or everyday wear!

ha ha yeh! lucky its a slightly different version or it's be alll over!

Found another mens fragrance for yawl. Reckon I'll buy it for my boy. So completely sexy.

Davidoff - Adventure. Mmmmmm... 

i got given the Armani sampler pack,

"Code" is prolly my fav so far, never actually wore it - smells heaps better on than on test paper

"Attitude" is aiight, not as good as "Mania"

Yeah it's hot

yeah code is good. you aren't allowed to wear mania dan mmmk? thanks 

spent a while perusing the fragrance section today, cant wait to buy a couple duty free on my way home from vietnam.

I already told you it's dope, fag!

i would have to disagree and say it is wack. good taste in shoes, bad taste in smells headache.




though it may smell different on skin.

most do in my experience

lol take that

Whoops, yep, I meant musky!
Thanks for the suggestions guys, I will hit up the myers gauntlet of perfume sales people and see what comes up!

lol light blue is nice

Me and lauren were out smelling a few over the weekend. I picked up, smelt it, Said "hmm, this is nice, but i know someone that wears it....."

"yeah-I do"



My Bad:)

Haha I likes it. It does definitely smell better on skin too, it takes a little while to settle. Good work scent imo.

anyone want Daisy by Marc Jabobs? 100ml bottle. don't have the box but have only worn it about 3 times and dont like it on me. it is a really nice feminine smell.
not sure what RRP is but i will take $45 ono

had to laugh when you said "yeah, i like it, but i dunno, its too.....florally"



lol with a name like Daisy, no fkn shit!;)

yeah it's alright. kayla wears it sometimes, along with No5 and JLo Still.

it's a sweet florally young smell. sort of reminds me of ralph lauren blue

Too florally FOR ME 

I need a new smell. I mainly like fruity stuff. None of that musky nanna stuff.
What do people recommend ?
At the moment I have Cool Water, Tommy Girl & Armani Mania.

I love Tommy girl.

I tried some recommendations from here last night, none really struck me. Thanks for the help though!

I also smelled Chanel No5 for the first time, I didn't actually like it, far too 'chemically' for me.

Funny thing was that I had 5 or so little cards all held together with several different floral/fruity perfumes together. All stuck together they smelled fantastic!

Allure by Chanel.
I dont wear perfume cery often so Ive had this bottle since my 25th Birthday I think

Jessica Simpson: Dessert Fragrances
Jessica Simpson: Hula Girl

Salvatore Ferragamo: Incanto Shine
Hillary Duff: With Love
J LO: Glow

I know there are a lot of celebrity fragrances in this list but I am a man, so I don't know that much about womens perfume. Feel free to give me suggestions.

I wear Dior Midnight Poison..love it. HOT.

Also wear Elizabeth Arden - Mediterranean

I think Beyonce's Diamonds is lovely.

I also love Chanel Coco Mademoiselle...kinda light, kinda sweet, kinda mesmorising and sexy.

Ed Hardy Mens

Fkn yes thanks

Wow, it's been a while since someone's posted in here...everyone must really stink these days!


I picked up a couple of nice new scents in the airport when I got back here last week.

For her: DKNY Red Delicious (Limited Edition): smells awesome, fruity berries, vanilla and shit like that. Funky bottle too.





For me: Calvin Klein Euphoria: Really digging this one, I got onto it through a free sample bag so it was definitely going to be my next purchase. My only issue is it's extremely subtle, there is an Intense version available which I wish I would have got, able to use less and have it last longer etc. I can't really describe the scent much I think there's definitely some spices in there somewhere.




Saw this the other day too - coming out soon for all the pimps, playas and the pushers who wanna be like Jigga (or at least smell like him):

Rocawear 9IX

you never even got that in the end lol

yeah i kinda got side tracked by light blue didn't i?

One day:)

Yo Lauren are you still looking to sell this??

yeah definitely

Awesome let me know when I can grab it after xmas as I love that smell.

If I don't get Chloe Signature for Christmas this year I will die. My life won't be worth living if I don't enter the new year smelling that good.

Here's an interesting article I am sure many of you would be interested in. Titled 'The Scent of Man' from the Science & Tech section of The Economist. It's about the effect of perfumes worn by men, and how women react/recognise men based on the confidence men gain from wearing certain perfumes.

Got some new Estee Lauder Intuition for Men today
One of my faves!!!

well it seemed Santa listened... ended up with 2 bottles through lack of communication between family 

I got given a new cologne lately and it's amazing!

Jean Paul Gaultier LE MALE




Bit of a wanky writeup for sure! I wonder who these people are that make up the fragrance descriptions!

peterman catalogue much?? 

I was given J'adore the other day and I can't get enough of it! It's delightful! So nice and fruity, and it doesn't go soapy when it's on your skin. Luffly!

do they make it in Mens?

It has to be mens. The bottle has a package!

was joking;)

I know! I was mentally throwing my hands up as I typed my response, think of an old over the top aunty, but it didn't translate. 

 

Easy to tell with those bottles!

I was recently given CKin2u - absolutely love it! So fresh and pretty ....

Also love JLo Live (I think it is?) and Ralph Lauren - Hot

both the in2u's are nice.

Mmm, I love the mens one too ... I know of someone that wears it quite frequently and all I wanna do is lick it off 

I have the same problem whenever I see Quazza, but its not the smell I'm trying to lick off, its the freckles.

Anybody smelt Dunhill Black? Saw an ad for it the other night on tv.

Na but red and blue are awesome.. Will be keen to suss it

Fragrance's and ciggs......same company?



could make or break me

agreed

Just ordered some more Dunhill Blue, gonna get some Kenneth Cole - Reaction on pay day aswell

Yes, they discussed it on the gruen transfer... the cigarette companies bring out other products because they're not allowed to advertise cigarettes!

Dunhill had been making other products since well before any ban on tobacco advertising.

It’s illegal in nine countries…They’ve done studies, you know: 60% of the time it works, every time.



buy it here

Had a dream last night Professor X was trying to sell me issey miake.

kinda odd

yes, he is the type to be wearing it. 

alright, i got more reward points from work... looking at getting either armani code or polo black... which one should i get?

My favourite is Dior J'Adore. Mum bought me back a nice parcel from Bali. I open it up and it's J'Adore JASMIN! They made a beautiful scent even more beautiful!

I have em both-more "wow you smell hot" comments with the Black

everyone on facebook says armani code, but i am definitely feeling black a bit more

I found that I got a bit sick of the smell of code.. havent tried black though so can't compare.

black wins by a mile imo

Code is hot, but it is a bit common these days.

I went perfume shopping the other day, ended up after a few hours with Amarige by Givenchy.

Absolutely love it! Not only does it not remind me of douche-face, but it's far superior to the stench that he gave me.

 

im all about armanni the one right now.  and the old dunhill red gets a good crack along with armanni city glam.. fresh

dunhill red is classic biz

Polo double black is in a league of its own....

Thats what I am runnin at the moment

 

wish ali thought the same. i gave my bottle to spanks a few years ago cos she didn't like it. silly girl.

guess that's two for two with her not having any taste at all. me being the first obviously.
