    Okay, so for years I've been wearing my favorite scented lotion "Endless Love" by Victoria Secret...come to find out recently my Fiance never liked. So changed it up a little and tried a sample of Sarah Jessica Parker fragrance and he did not like. I need to change my fragrance. What kind of perfume or scent drives your man crazy, what does he love. Need suggestions?

    My partner loves anything I've worn from Lavanilla. Right now I have Vanilla Passionfruit and Vanilla Blackberry. Wearing the Blackberry more in cold weather. He also loves cocoa butter (put it on after my shower)

    @Lemma you using Aveda Shampoo, is there a specific one?

     

    @ItsHollyAgain I did read in an article somewhere that Vanilla scents attract the opposite sex, not sure how true it is. Have to try :P

    i wear rock princess by vera wang. its actually discontinued in stores i believe but you can find it online. i love it. thats the first and only fragrance that my SO ever has commented on as far as my nicer perfumes go. he also has said that when he smells country apple by bath and body works he thinks of me because after i leave the bathroom after a shower if he walks in there it smells like country apple lotion and to him thats "my scent", i have been using that though since i was about 12 lol so that doesnt surprise me.

    He likes a few that I wear, but I have to say the perfume I get the most compliments on from men in general is Philosophy's Pure Grace perfume. I don't know what it is, it drives them crazy haha! It smells like clean soap and water, like you just stepped out of a shower.

    Also anything earthy. I know patchouli gets a bad rap, but if done right he really loves it. Just don't get the cheap hippie stuff.

    I can't handle it anymore with super pregnancy nose, but also Tom Ford Black Orchid. It's strong, so just a tiny dab on my throat is all I need. It's weird, some people's chemistry works great with it, some people it doesn't, so order samples first.But it's really dark and sexy, a good going out scent.

    My FI loves the Black Amethyst from Bath and Body Works.  I had gotten it as a gift, and was using it when we first got together.

    When he moved to Virginia, he went to the mall and bought a bottle and sprays his pillow with it.  

    I dont wear it on a daily basis, only when I am with him.

    It takes a while for some men.  After many spending $$$ on various bottles of perfume, lotions & body washes, I finally found the one that drives him nuts.  I found it at good ole' Walgreens!!!  JLo - Glow After Dark    I only wear it when we go out... that way he doesn't get too spoiled with it!  Laughing

    My husband likes anything sandalwood on me but I find that's just my skin chemistry. Otherwise, I've always favored light floral scents like J'Adore or Sheer Love from VS and my husband loves them.

    FI loves Mariah Carey's M perfume. The original one in the purple bottle. A few men here at work have complimented me on it too. The other one that gets ooh and ahh from men is when I wear Dolce and Gabbane The One, notthe gold package but the one that comes in the silver packaging.

    It's awful, but I've had to wean my FI off of Gap's Dream. I wore it in high school when we started dating, and it conditioned him. Haha. Eventually I felt the need to move on. For a while it was Sweet Pea from Bath and Body Works, and now I have Chloe, but I almost never wear perfume.

    My SO always says how good I smell when I wear Very Sexy by Victoria's Secret or Tommy Girl. I'll change it up on him every so often and wear something else and no compliments.  My Clinique Happy which I absolutely LOVE makes him sneeze lol.

    I'm somewhat of a perfume junkie, but the ones FI comments on the most are Light Blue by Dolce & Gabbana and Viva La Juicy by Juicy Couture. When I wear Light Blue, he says I smell "pretty" :). And Viva La Juicy is such a warm, sexy smell. It's got a solid vanilla base and some fruity, pear-like scents. It's a bit sweet, but the stuff is like sex appeal in a bottle to me.

    If you want something a little less expensive, Victoria's Secret has a body spray called Noir Tease which is a DEAD RINGER for Viva La Juicy at about 40% of the price.

    My DH LOVES just about anything with a honeysuckle base.  He likes either light fruity, floral, or clean scents.  Not so much into vanilla or anything heavy.

    FI actually picked out perfume with me this December and was stern to have me pick up "Forbiden Euphoria" CK. And I love it, too. I think it's just right for a small spritz and a night out together.

     

    And just to add, we went through the whole nine yards of searching, and if it was too fruity he said it smelled like "Wine" lol. men.

    My husband doesnt really care for perfume much, and neither do I. I barely wear perfume but when I do its usually red delicious by DKNY or J'adore by Dior and he likes both of those.

    I just started wearing Bond No. 9 Madison Square Park and it gets an overwhelming positive reaction.  Smile  It has notes of grape hyacinth, huckleberry, prairie dropseed grass, red leaf rose, red hunter tulips, and teakwood

     I also just bought the Tom Ford Black Orchid which is very sexy but a little heavy on me so I don't wear it very often - it has notes of truffle, ylang-ylang, bergamot, black currant, orchid, fruity notes, lotus Wood, dark chocolate, incense, patchouli, sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver.

    I don't wear perfume at all - it gives me a headache and I swear I can smell alcohol in all of them.  I know, weird.

    I wear a lemon scented body lotion that FI really likes.

    Ok...I took a psychology class on this, and I'm kinda crazy...so in high school I picked a scent that I loved, (ck1) and I've worn it everyday ever since...it's VERY popular, so he will frequently be out & about & start thinking about me because he smells me...(told ya--crazy)...anywho, ck1 has been around for years and years, and it's a scent that's not going anywhere...it'll prolly never be discontinued, and he'll always smell it & think of me! I'm like this with everything...same shampoo & soap & stuff forever...I'm super loyal to my products! Lol!

    FI absolutely hates anything 'vanilla'. We cannot even light 'vanilla' candles and/or have vanilla potpourri, etc.

    I personally like Tommy Girl on me. And also Issey Miyake. (<-- Latter is EXPENSIVE.) But I wear so many different ones every day. I have a drawerful and I am not afraid to use it. Lol!

    I have lots of perfumes and my husband loves them all. His favorite is "Ghost Deep Night" but he also likes Chanel Mademoiselle, Issey Miyake L'eau D'Issey, Tommy Girl, Miss Dior Cherie L'eau and the blue Ralph by Ralph Lauren.

    He's never said one way or the other. He's actaully not big on perfumes or colognes. My favorites are Daisy eau So Fresh by Marc Jacobs for day, and SuperModel by Victorias Secret for night. He probably doesn't even notice! Lol.

    I wear Chloe all the time and SO loves it. Very rosey, which we both like. I want to try "Lady Million" - the sample smelled really good in my magazine.

    @SamanthaLovesJames: I'm not sure how well it works for every guy, but most guys I know tend to like some vanilla. I recently had a student (they're all over 18 so it's not as creepy... but still weird) walk up to me adn essentially sniffing me? Idk, weird. He asked me what I wear and when I stumbled over my words telling him he was just like, "Okay! I wanted to get my girlfriend a new perfume". Hopefully she likes it :)

     

    I also love Ginestet's Botrytis. It's more of a honey scent on me, but still a little foodie smelling. My partner likes it, but not as much as any of my Lavanilla's (even the Vanilla Grapefruit, which I think is his least favorite). I have gotten a ton of compliments on Botrytis though!

    My FI looooooooves when I wear "P.S I LOVE YOU" from  bath and body works. But sad thing is they have discontinued it. I loooove the smell too. I still have lots left, because I always buy in bulk, but am sad for it to run out. Anyhow, he looooooves it sooooo much, he always comments on it when I have it on. And he can NEVER keep his hands, nose or lips off me when I have it on.
