It isn't exactly a perfume, but every time I wear "Cinnamon Bun Heaven" body lotion by BBW I am told how good I smell! My favorite used to be "Green Tea" by Elizabeth Arden, and I was also complimented on that.

Great topic!

I wear Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana I tell myself all day long that I smell lovely! I've been wearing it since Mother's Day and no one had commented on it so either they can't smell it or can't stand it. I think it's beautiful!

I have 2, well one is a lotion. The lotion is Kisses by Candlelight by Mary Kay. It never fails when I wear it I get asked a few times what I'm wearing. My other is Beautiful by Este Lauder. Love, love, love it! It is my husbands favorite.

Lauren by Ralph Lauren, and Very Sexy by Victorias Secret. I wear the latter when I am going out, it's kind of strong for the daytime!

I've gotten the most compliments when I'm wearing Gardenia by Elizabeth Taylor...The first time was when I was dropping off some things to the local Goodwill...The guy helping me unload asked me what I was wearing...He said it was "heavenly" and also told me that I resembled Drew Barrymore...LOL...I think it smells ok, but my favorites are Anais Anais and J'Adore...I don't like sweet smells...I feel like a walking Cinnabon! That doesn't make me feel sexy...JMO ~Lisa

Pink Sugar! I love it! My surgeon loves smelling me when I visit him. he compliments me every time and tells me I smell like Cookies and he said he LOVES cookies! HAHA
He also said I smell like cotton candy, coconut, cookie dough, coconut pie... I guess the scent changes with my ph for that day.
I also had a home health nurse who use to come out to checkme..she loved the smell so i bought her a bottle

I always get compliments when I wear Chance by Chanel. I love wearing just the lotion for a subtle smell. My dh loves it.

Chanel 19 and Clinique Aromatics Elixir.

Anyone remember an old perfume (I think it was by Coty?) called *You're the Fire*? It was very, very sweet, not at all what I like now, but it was my fav for a long time.

I HATE PERFUME!!! I am allergic to it. My sister is one of those girls that puts on half the bottle. Pleasures by Este Lauder is the worst . If someone is wearing it I have to leave the room or I get a migraine within 5 min. Dhs grandma likes to wear it and then wonders why I never sit and talk to her.

I like the smell of mens cologne but I am allergic to it too.

I second the Beautiful by Estee Lauder. My DH loves it and I have been wearing it since I was 16 (which by my calculations was only about 13 years ago (wink).

My all time favorite, LALURA Exclusive by parfums D' Ornas Beverly Hills, Ca. (which they don't make anymore)

The closest thing that I've been able to find that smells similar is Heavenly by VS. (which I wear now and get compliments on)

When I was single, they guys use to love my Aviance Night Musk by Prince Matchabelli.

Another one I like but they apparently don't sell anymore is Nature Millenaire from Yves Rocher. I wasn't sure if I liked it when I first got it and tossed it in the closet with the rest of my perfumes. Then, like a year or so later, a woman came into where I worked one day and she smelled really nice. It smelled familiar so I asked her what she was wearing and she told me "Millionaire something, I got it from this website called Yves Rocher. " I knew exactly what it was, so after that I pulled out and started wearing it. I decided I loved it and used up the whole bottle. But, when I went back to Yves Rocher, they no longer carried it. If I type in the name to search, another perfume comes up, Neonatura. I ordered some of it, but it's no where near as nice smelling. Maybe if I toss it in the closet for a year or so, it might smell better. (LOL)

I have never 'met' anyone else who wears this!!! I have worn it for years and am now having a hard time finding it in my area. The only place I can get it now is Bon Ton but they may even be discontinuing it. I'll have to make sure I can get it online in case they do stop carrying it.

Perfume- Opium - the only perfume I will wear

Lotion - Juniper Breeze from Bath and Bodyworks.

I get compliments with both of them.

If you wanted to try online, Perfumania carries it:

Perfumania

I get some things there present-wise for my family when I'm shopping for cologne/perfume.


Obsession always got the most compliments for me. It's not one of my big favs, but I had gotten it as a present so I wore it. Every time I did, someone would say something. My smeller must've been off. I thought it smelled nice on me, but not THAT great.

I work in a call center and there is an older woman who sits by me everyday. Around 10"oclock in the morning when she goes out for her ciggerette break, she comes back in and sprays something on her. It smells so strong that I get a migraine right above my eyes. I stood up today and played dumb and asked who over sprayed the perfume. I am sure she wanted to clobber me but i couldn't take it. I think I may put an anymous note on the managers desk if the smell keeps up. I am not sure what is worse,.... strong perfume or pickle feet from some of the women wearing sandals.

If it's causing you to suffer physical pain I wouldn't wait. There's no reason you should have to be subjected to physical pain because someone wants to smell nice. (Even if she did pay a lot of money for her fragrance.) If you don't think this "older woman" would respond to your polite request, then you should definitely discuss it with a supervisor or HR. Maybe you could be seated elsewhere.

I'd probably discuss the "pickle feet" as well. (LOL) I've worked in a call center once upon a time myself. How about those people who walk by and let out an SBD (silent but deadly) when you're on a call and tethered to your computer? "gag"

Red Door by Elizabeth Arden.

I get stopped many times a day to ask what I am wearing. Men completely go batty over it and love the smell.

Makes me feel very flattered since I am getting compliments and literally hunted down in the stores by both men AND women!

This is "my fragrance". It is my signature.

I love the way it smells on me, and I get compliments all the time.
