OnTheBrink Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Totally frivolous thread. No controversy, elitism, or judgment. Just a little fun. What scents do you wear? Body wash, lotion, body spray, perfume, essential oils, soap, what? I have three that I rotate, depending on my mood. Amazing Grace, by Philosophy. I have the lotion, body spray, spray cologne and roller thing. Belara, by Mary Kay. I have the lotion and roller thing. And a newer one that a lovely net-friend gave me: Rain-Kissed Leaves from Bath and Body Works. Smells like summer! I have the shower gel and lotion. I like things that smell like nature, flowers, leaves, grass. How about you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avila Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Another Amazing Grace fan here. I love the stuff. I also like the FC5 line from Arbonne, which almost smells like the Tutti Fruit Jelly Bellies to me! :D I usually tend to go with really clean smells or soft florals though.

Mrs Mungo Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I wear Bathos perfume from Lush or Lemon Sugar from Fresh. So, I smell like violets or lemons. My husband says that I generally smell like vanilla. I like things that smell fruity, sweet or spicy over floral or woodsy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikeBookBread Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Pure Grace by Philosophy is my main fragrance, but sometimes Baby Grace (which doesn't smell like a baby :lol: just really fresh and clean). Faconnable Femme (I know that is spelled wrong!) but it's really hard to find so I use it sparingly. I have some old DKNY Be Delicious but it doesn't smell good on me anymore (hormones changed, I guess) so it's just sitting there looking cute.

Imprimis Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 My scents of choice are always citrusy, spicy, or woodsy. I don't like sweet or flowery fragrances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i.love.lucy Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Happy by Clinique. :) In my house I use candles that are either apples (mostly in Fall) or clean linen smell, so I sometimes think I smell like those things since I use them often in my home.

Dawn in OH Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I wear Sung. It's ridiculously expensive. My husband buys it for me for Christmas. Every year I'm reminded to hurry up and use it up before Christmas (I tend to be sparing with it because it's expensive). I used to also wear Poison and Angel Mist (Victoria's Secret) but I haven't been the past few years. I seemed to wear perfume and body sprays less often since I had the 3rd baby. I sometimes also smell like apricots. It's my Tom's of Maine deoderant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E_Edgerton Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I tend to wear vanilla or lemon scents. But, I have recently been having a great time on http://www.demeterfragrance.com I am thinking of buying several of my favorite smells and wearing them either layered or as individual scents! Be warned....you will spend way too much time at this site!:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidsHappen Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 (edited) I have no idea. I don't wear any deordorants or perfumes. I'll have to ask my hubby as he says he likes the way I smell (I really think that's just phermones). I can tell you about the rest of the family though. All my dd's smell lightly fruity-flowery. My youngest is the only one that still smells like a child. My grandbaby smells like vanilla. My dad and brothers like old pennies and my mother smelled like tomato soup. My hubby wears men's musk deordorant and I like that. My SIL and to be SIL both wear some kind of men's cologne. I don't know what it is but I can pick it out if I smell it. My ex wore Brut and the smell always reminds me of him. I wore musk as a teen so women's musk always reminds me of my younger days. And whenever I go to my dd's house all my stuff comes home smelling slightly like ferret. I actually don't find that unpleasant either. It is a very subtle musky smell. I love the smell of fresh mown grass and cinnamon. The other day my 13 year old had a friend over who smelled exactly like my 16 year old so I asked if she was home. When I was told she wasn't I asked why it smelled like her then. Turns out they use the same body lotion. I am very smell sensitive.

dirty ethel rackham Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yep - a no scents girl here. I stopped wearing "scents" when my oldest, as a baby, went on an nursing strike because I wore perfume to go out for the evening. It was a miserable 2 days for both of us.

SheWillFly Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I smell like eucalyptus, mint and coffee. I do much better with essential oils than with actual perfumes. I also sometimes smell like lemon and tea tree oil. That is mostly in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiff in TX Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Cherry Blossom from Bath and Body works and my parents get me a bottle of Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker for Christmas and I ration it out through the year because I absolutely :001_wub: it. Around my house I prefer clean/fresh scents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Usually, Bvlgari White Tea (white tea, white pepper, and artemisia -- I looked that last one up & found out that it's in the daisy family). The perfume is great & I love, love, love the body lotion. It's a very mild fragrance. My next favorite perfume is Shi by Alfred Sung (water lily, fig leaves, orange blossom, and frangipani). In winter, I also like Knowing perfume by Estee Lauder (rose, tuberose, mimosa, plum, jasmine, patchouli, orange flower). I'll have to pull it out now that the weather is getting cooler. For some reason, Knowing smells delicious to me -- it's almost like it makes my mouth water, lol. I also love having peppermint or eucalyptus lotion to put on my feet, esp. if I'm getting ready to put on socks & boots. (Bath & Body Works has a great Eucalyptus/Spearmint lotion.) Someone else mentioned "Happy". A friend of mine wears it & it smells sooooo great on her. I love it. I tried it & it just didn't smell right on me. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 When I wear perfume, it's usually a vanilla musk, especially if I have certain 'plans' in mind, IYKWIM. ;) Otherwise, it's something spicy. Usually, I don't wear any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy loves Bud Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I guess I smell like me. :001_huh: I don't like scents. I do use 7th Generation laundry detergent with lavender. But that's about it. Bud isn't allowed to wear scents either. Somehow the other day he got ahold of some scented deodorant and I couldn't sleep facing him.

mama2cntrykids Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Coffee? LOL. Other than that I will wear a perfume called Morning Dew on RARE occasion.

JenniferB Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 right now I smell like raw ground beef, onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. I just put some sauce on the stove for dinner. I don't wear any scents. I don't like em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Romance by Ralph Lauren is my perfume. I don't wear it very much anymore, because I have a hard time justifying the expense to myself just to smell good. But my dh is 'threatening', LOL, to buy me more, because he LOVES for me to wear it. My lotion is the Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Cream by Bath and Body works. It smells so good, I almost want to eat it. I mean, I DON"T eat it. I'm not crazy or anything...:001_huh: :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunaLee Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 If anything it's vanilla, but neither my hair nor skin will hold a smell. I thought I was wierd until my hair dresser confirmed for me that I wasn't the only one. And when I do wear perfume its Michael from Michael Kors, or some Sonia Kushak bergamont and vanilla smell from Target. My house smells like Hazelnut cream, because really sticky, flowery, sweet smells give me a headache. So much so that my poor dd has to make her personal scent vanilla too, so I don't get a migraine.

elegantlion Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I used some lavender body spray earlier. I don't like too much scent, gives me a headache. Besides that I probably smell like dog. I was just hugging my lab. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangerine Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 The best I can hope for is to smell like soap. I've always wanted this: http://www.cbihateperfume.com/in-the-library.html It's supposed to smell like used books. What better smell is there??

sparrow Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I am Patchouli. Occasionally, sandalwood. I only do essential oils and with that, just a drop. Patchouli gets strong reactions. People love it or hate it, but I've been told that it smells very good with my body chemistry, somehow. My dh loves it anyway :D. I get a lot of, "who smells like incense?" and lots of former 60's hippies saying it brings back memories :). The main reason I still wear it is because, to my kids, it smells like "Mom".

MommyRyan Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 I wear Clive Christian X for women when I want to feel sexy. Most days? I smell like Old Spice and baby food.

Saille Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 LOL, I smell like apricot b/c of Tom's of Maine, too. But right now, my soap smells like roses. And I use Burt's Bees orange facial cleanser. That's about it. I used to love Dewberry from The Body Shop, but I haven't spent $$ on perfume in forever. And I've been using natural cleaners for so long now that artificial scents give me a headache, so I imagine a lot of perfumes would bother me, anyway.

joannqn Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Nothing. I generally avoid all manufactured scents both on my body and in my home. They tend to make me feel sick...usually headachy and/or nauseous. Sometimes the scents from someone sitting near me even make me sick, and I have to move away. Essential oils are natural so I can use those without problems, and do use them in my home. I have a friend with multiple chemical sensitivity who has neurological symptoms from chemical exposure...symptoms like weakness, inability to walk, tremors, nausea, confusion, etc. What this means is that someone's bath soap from their morning shower can make her seriously ill. Because of this, she avoids public places as much as possible. When she does go out, she carries a cane and keeps a facial mask with carbon filters with her at all times. When we schedule a visit, I'm extra careful to not use products, even ones that are fine for me. On those days, everything is off limits including "unscented" products, deoderant, and toothpaste. BTW, "unscented" products are still scented. They use chemicals designed to cover the natural smell of the other ingredients. I'm not saying you shouldn't enjoy your scents. I'm just putting this information out there. The more people who know just how bad for our health these things can be, the better. Some day, you may find yourself in the same MCS predictament. My friend was fine (enjoyed scented products) a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlmiraGulch Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I LOVE Philosophy Pure Grace. A total soap and water smell. I also wear Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue...my all time favorite scent.

Aurelia Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Usually... Degree Powder Fresh :tongue_smilie: I don't wear a lot of perfume or scented lotion, but I like the Sweet Pea and Vanilla Sugar lotions from Bath & Body Works. If I'm dressing up really fancy (like a wedding) I have a bottle of Diamonds and Rubies. I love the smell, but can't wear it all the time because I'm sensitive to a lot of smells.

Audrey Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I make my own with blended essential oils. Usually I smell like a blend of bergamot, lemon and a hint of cedar and cinnamon.

Are there such things as scents for sensitive gals? :confused: I smell like me too. :D If I do try perfume (I don't currently own any) I can only stand it for a while before I need to shower it off. I do smell faintly of bleach today as I've been doing some particularly icky laundry, and used it for the first time in ages. One of my t-shirts ended up in that load. I can't wait to wash it again. I just realized that's probably why I had to take out my contact lenses. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secular_mom Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 I love the fruity (can't remember the name) Pink lotion and body spray by Victoria's Secret. There's also another lotion I really like, it comes in a purple bottle that looks like a wine bottle. It smells lovely- vanilla and fruit combination- not overpowering at all, and not musky (I don't like musk). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
