It was intended to be a very personal intimate thing. <br /><br />Most of the perfumes (more likely colognes and lesser products) are simply awful and highly offensive.<br /><br />I seem to enjoy a tiny bit of French scent on a freshly clean body. <br /><br />No French scent, ok, soap and water and a fresh starched shirt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-44149524807562485402010-10-03T19:36:13.040-04:002010-10-03T19:36:13.040-04:00I'm sick of the whole perfume thing.

"What's that perfume you're wearing?" "Oh, it's 'Very Hollywood!'" I refuse to wear it if I'm embarassed to say the name, I don't care what it smells like. It's ok if a man wears cologne if I can't smell it unless I'm right next to him.

I love interesting scents that churn up a range of emotions, and I always like to know who designed the perfume. Being a 'nose' is up there with being a couturier in my opinion. I'm a Jean-Claude Ellena fan for instance, whose scents really work on my skin (it isn't enough to like a smell, it also has to work 'on' you, at a molecular level I guess). My current favourites are Editions de Parfum by Frederic Malle, whose brief is to give top noses free reign to create their perfect scent without the usual commercial restrictions (cost/ market/ etc.). This has resulted in my all-time favourite, Bigarade Concentrée, which smells like sweaty sex in an orange grove (not something I've ever indulged in sadly, living in Northern climes as I do, but that's the image it conjures up... yes I know, I'm probably not selling it to you Americans, but the French in me loves it!), and my husband wears Geranium pour Monsieur, which smells like mint and pelargonium leaves rubbed onto one's skin (without the rash that would presumably ensue if one did it for real). Alternatively, a classic like Chanel's Pour Monsieur remains an all-time favourite.<br /><br />I introduced my husband to scent - he'd never worn any until he met me, now he has a collection of bottles to rival mine. Fortunately, his nose and mine seem to be in agreement, even if the scents react differently on our skins (which makes it all the more interesting I suppose). <br /><br />P.S. Can't wait to hear about the School reunion. I'm lucky I live in a completely different country to my several schools (I had an itinerant childhood), so will never have to face the ordeal!Nathaliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11570545194570856281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-17103435752015411072010-10-03T01:04:05.345-04:002010-10-03T01:04:05.345-04:00OK, I'm going to be quite un-PC, but I love a ...OK, I'm going to be quite un-PC, but I love a scent on a man, in fact, I love wearing men's cologne! <br />Forget the whole chemical-free, no smell allowed except a man's natural smell (really?? ugh). I'm sorry, men can be stinky, so I like a fresh, pleasant smell on a man, not necessarily all of the time, but some time (and not necessarily from cologne, maybe a good shower, but that wears off quickly).<br />Of course, then we can get into the whole argument of why some men choose not to care how they smell, but that's another post!Mirakelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02823036101143891443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-64836881888396579982010-10-03T00:56:34.854-04:002010-10-03T00:56:34.854-04:00I don't think anyone really needs any extra sc...I don't think anyone really needs any extra scent.

So many people (especially men, sorry) forget that at this time of year, and it makes them look dried out. A good coat of moisturizer makes one look younger and lends a glow to the skin as the fall air starts to get dry. Hope you have a great time!A.J.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05989531542525210531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-37294014273693582712010-10-02T13:06:07.725-04:002010-10-02T13:06:07.725-04:00Shelley, that IS Marc Jacobs!Shelley, that IS Marc Jacobs!Peter Lappinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05109154527996679077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-87544347960364573882010-10-02T12:59:07.122-04:002010-10-02T12:59:07.122-04:00I will add my voice to the chorus of 'clean, p...I will add my voice to the chorus of 'clean, please'!

Essential oil mixes are my favorite and applying them an hour or more before you go out make them quieter, subtler when you arrive.
