    Hello bees!  I am in the mood for some new perfume and I would love to find out what scents you ladies are sporting.

    My "signature scent" is   Issey Miyake.  I love it- but I find myself saving it for special occasions.  I want to try something new. 

    What do you love?  Do you mix/layer your scents? Tell me your perfume preferences....

    I recently started using Rebel Rose from mark. by Avon....not expensive or fancy or whatever but honestly the scent is amazing....the name is kind of a good description - roses with a twist!

    Fragrance notes: Rose Absolute, Pink Pepper, Pink Musk, and Vanilla

    MissZee    June 20, 2009   Western Pennsylvania

    For everyday, I wear Japanese Cherry Blossom, from Bath & Body Works. It's cheap, it smells excellent on me, and Mr. Zee loves it.

    For special days (and my wedding day will definitely count as that), though, I wear the first gift that Mr. Zee ever gave me--In the Library, by CB - I Hate Perfume. It smells.. well.. like a library. Old books, leather, wood polish, maybe a little pipe tobacco, definitely some patchouli. After it came in the mail, I put some on and we went to the library and went around sniffing books until we found several older ones that smelled EXACTLY like the perfume. It was both cool and bizarre.

    You wouldn't think it would smell great, but oh my goodness, it's a little embarrassing to wear it because I always end up sniffing myself over and over again just to get a stronger whiff of it!

    I haven't tried a lot of different perfumes. I tend to pick one that works for me and stick with it, because I can be very sensitive to scents/chemicals and a lot of perfumes give me insta-headaches.

    I've been wearing Ralph Lauren Romance for the last several years.  I've been thinking of buying a small bottle of their newer version of the fragrance, Ralph Lauren Romance Always Yours, which is similar but a little different to wear on the wedding day.

    I go back and forth between Givenchy Amirage(a peppery brisk smell), Anais Anais(a flowery smell) by Cacharel and Noa Fleur by Cacharel(also very flowery and sweet). Sometimes I layer the two cacharels for a slightly more complicated aroma. All depends on what mood i'm in - really.

    For everday I use Pear Glace from Victoria's Secret. DH LOVES when I wear that even though it's not perfume. But if I'm feeling extra fancy, I'll pull out my BCBG perfume Metro. Sadly, the bcbg line of perfumes I love has been discontinued, so I've started to wear some Ralph Lauren. I like all of the Ralph Lauren line.

    I love Curious.

    You know, the pre-pregnancy/pre-mental breakdown Britney Spears scent. I got the Fantasy perfume too, but it turns out it smells great in the bottle, but gives me a migraine when I wear it. Do you think it's a coincidence that Fantasy came out around the time that all of Britney's crazy antics started giving me a migraine???

    I also love Victoria's Secret Pink!

    ooh I love this post. I am looking for something to wear on wedding day. I used to wear issey miyake, then I went to marc jacobs, then marc jacobs in the yellow bottle(I can't remember what it's called but it is not daisy). Now I am tempted to look into vera wang princess but everyone seems to buy that for wedding day, it is really nice though. I am going to keep checking this thread!

    I wear Jo Malone Nectarine and Honey or Honeysuckle and Jasmine. Sometimes both. I despise most perfumes because I feel like they smell too chemically and more often than not, cheap! So, it's taking me a long time to find Jo Malone, but I love everything she makes for the most part.

    I was an Eternity girl in high school, then I went through many scents trying to find what I really loved. I fell back on Eternity for years, then did the RL Romance for a couple of years (which I got SO many compliments on), Mr. H bought me Marc Jacobs Daisy last summer for my birthday and I can honestly I have never loved a perfume more (not even Electric Youth in 7th grade!). I never get tired of Daisy and he loves it on me.

    I wear Calvin Klein's Eternity : Summer. They just came out with a new version that I don't like as much, though - boo! I'll have to scout around and try to find the older version online I think.

    I just recently became a perfume junkie, I don't know how, but I have acquired 10 bottles just this year and I can't even wear perfume to work, just on the weekends!

    Anyway, my 2 favorites are Vera Wang's Princess and SJP's Lovely. :)

    Hugo Boss - Deep Red, I love it. Its a sexy scent on me, and the fiance loves it too!!

    I also really enjoy wearing subtle body sprays during the days at the office as I find wearing perfume can sometimes get too stuffy and smelly with perfume inside my office.

    I also love using the Victorias Secret - Amber Romance, which is sweet but has a spicy smell to it, as well as one of my all-time fav's Vanilla Lace. You can NEVER go wrong with a light vanilla scent. Mmmm!

    I always wear Clinique Happy Heart, but I usually have some sort of Bath & Body Works body splash on, too- vanilla, mango-mandarin, raspberry, grapefruit, or cucumber-melon, depending on my mood. I'm pretty picky about perfumes, so I'm just sticking with my normal routine for the wedding day.
