    I usually wear Philosophy, but I went without perfume for the day and instead wore essential oils.  I used some of my SILs oils, so it also served as my "something borrowed", and she even let me use rose oil, which is over $200 for 5ml.  Rose oil can boost confidence, hope, and mental strength, and it's an aphrodisiac to boot!  ;-)

    Hmmm, never thought about this!  I'll probably wear Burberry.  It's what I usually wear if I wear anything.  It might be hard for me to remember to put it on that morning though!

    my fiancee always thinks of me when he smells britney spears fantasy, i wore it back in the day when we were dating. i now wear fantasy but tossing up between going back to what conjurs up memories for him or a little bit more classy like Dior Addict?

    I love Chanel Coco Mademoiselle and FI knew it so when we first started dating he bought me my first bottle so I'll be wearing that.

    I'm torn on mine. I have several fragrances, but it seems like when I wear one in particular for several months, I get used to it, then when I spritz something else from my collection it smells funny to me - like I notice it all day (kind of annoying to smell yourself all day). Right now, my favorite is Victoria's Secret Lace Orange Blossom. It's sweet and spicey and FI loves how it mixes with my own body scent.

    However, when I dress up, I usually like wearing SJP's Lovely. I think I need to practice wearing that scent a week before the wedding so it doesn't annoy me the day of.

    I will most likely wear my Laura Mercier perfume, can't remember the name but it is the one that is pink, she also has two other ones too!  It is very light and refreshing.

    I actually still like the Ralph Lauren Glamorous perfume that has been discontinued but I have searched and searched and found two bottles from online perfume shop.  It is definetly heavier than Laura Mercier but I like it so not sure what i will be wanting to wear that day.

    Also I have to make sure I pack my perfume with me because when I had my first marriage I forgot to bring my perfume with me and I didn't end up wearing the hubby's fav perfume.

    I am a perfume whore and ADD so who knows maybe I will go with just my sweet smelling self!

    My all-time favorite is Olivier Durbano Black Tourmaline, but it's pretty smoky and has a lot of cumin in it, so I'm not sure if it will be the wedding fragrance- it can smell a bit sweaty. Serge Lutens Fumerie Turque is much more incense-ie, which would be very nice for a crisp fall day. My romantic perfume is Juliette has a Gun- Citizen Queen, a rose-leather. But I don't want romantic that day, I want unexpected and dark! And Bandit would knock the room dead, hah so that one's out. Bvlgari Black I love, but it wears off too quickly and leaves me with just a hint of rubber-vanilla. I recently tried Nasomotto Black Afgano, and it has fantastic sillage, but I haven't settled on whether or not I want a bottle of it yet. I don't know hah, it changes constantly, I doubt I'll know until a week before! :D

    I wear Gaultier "Madame" every day, but my special occasion perfume is Dior " Miss Dior Cherie". It's too heavy and romantic to wear all the time.

    I will most likely wear my D&G Light Blue.  I think that one lasts longer than the others I have.

    This is a toughie! I have so many perfumes and I don't really have a signature scent. My friend asked me "haven't you trained your FI to recognize one scent for you?" Haha. I guess not.

    Lately I've been switching off between Benefit's Laugh with me Lee Lee and Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue. I also love Salvatore Ferragamo's Incanto Dream. Oh, and Gucci Envy Me!

    I think I may buy a new scent to commemorate the wedding. So many of my perfumes remind me of a specific memory - like when I bought Ralph Lauren Cool from Duty Free on my way back from studying abroad and saw FI (my then-boyfriend) for the first time in months. Every time i wear that perfume it conjures that memory. For that reason I am thinking of getting a whole new scent for the wedding. Not really sure which one!

    I haven't decided for sure yet but I probably will wear Oui by Lancome.  It is the perfume I wear the most and it smells amazing on me... not to mention it's FI's favorite!!

    I have no freakin' clue. The closest thing to perfume I own is some Dove body spray, and I hardly even use that. If I don't get perfume at my bridal shower I'll probably go scentless, and have my "signature scent" be the smell of the flowers (lilacs and sweet pea...yummy!).

    I am going to wear Chance by Chanel. I love it and my mom brought me a bottle back from France. My FH loves it too, and it will work well for our Sept. evening wedding

    Right now, I use either Philosophy - Falling in Love, or Bath and Body works - Japanese Cherry Blossom (this one isn't really a perfume)....both smell delicious. But I don't know if I'll use them for my wedding...maybe, maybe not.

    I have quite a few perfumes, like D&G Light Blue (which my fiance loves), and CK Euphoria, but I NEVER use them.

    I think I'm probably going to wear my Vera Wang "Princess," since it's as close to wearing a Vera dress as I'll get ;) Come to think of it, though, I'd prefer to wear Monique Lhuillier. The FI is a very smart man and listened to all my non-sensical ramblings about dress designers, and asked if I was going to wear my Vera Wang perfume! Love him.

    I have a tattoo of the word "Grace" on the inside of my left ankle, and the FI was there when I got it, so I've been thinking of checking out Philosophy's "Amazing Grace" collection. I used to have the body wash, and it smelled so pretty-- something special.

    I never wear perfume, but my makeup guy used to work for Chanel and he gave me a sample bottle of Chanel No.5.  He said all brides should wear Chanel No. 5 on their wedding day, so I did!  I actually really like the scent!

    I'm a Michael Kors girl myself; I'll probably wear Very Pretty or Very Hollywood.  Plus, both bottles look sooo pretty and my photog loves to get photos of all that stuff.

    I'm not a huge perfume girl but I have to say that I was at Victoria's Secret today and tested their Sexy Little Things perfume and...

    I'm OBSESSED with it!  I can't stop sniffing my wrist...it smells so good!  Check it out if you haven't already!

    I have Ralph Lauren's Romance right now but may buy refill of Stella in Two Peonie because I love it so much. It's the only perfume I've used the entire bottle of. I tend to become allergic to scents before they run out!

    Ooh I love black orchid by Tom Ford, but I think I'm going to wear champs elysees by Guerlain.  I've worn it since I was a teenager and it was the scent I wore when I first met my FI - and he loves it on me :)

    @Noelle-a-belle I didn't realise they still made Guerlain's L'Heure Bleue, that was my mum's fave, she passed away maybe I should wear that on my day, as I know smelling it will remind me of her.

    I love Daisy too! FI bought me Chance by Chanel a couple weeks after we started dating and I've worn it a lot in our relationship so it reminds me and him of each other (I still wear it but lately I haven't worn much perfume at all)  I'm saving what I have left in the bottle (2nd bottle) for our wedding.  I cannot wait to marry him...just thought I'd share...  ;o)

    I wore Ralph Lauren Romance on the wedding day.  It's my usual "signature scent" (Fifty, I feel you--that sounds cheesy to say), so I wanted to wear that.  For the record, I love Tom Ford Black Orchid, but it just doesn't smell right on me.
