What's your favorite cologne/perfume?

I wear Chrome, by Azzaro. My favorite for me.

My favorite on other people is some scent one of my ex’s wore. I keep meaning to ask him what it is, but I always forget. And I’m not sure if its his cologne or if its a combination of pot smoke and the incense he always had burning.

Right at the moment, I favor Saphir by Guerlain.

It’s simply wonderful.

Some perennial favorites are Poison, Passion, & Jil Sander.

Kouros, by Yves Saint Laurent.

The only one I’ll wear, ever.

The only perfume/cologne I wear is Opium.

Everyone who knows me says both the name and scent are very fitting.

I love that stuff. I wish I were a girl just so that I could wear it.

I wear * L’Heure Bleu* by Guerlain. It’s a very old perfume and has been around for a hundred years or so. It means “the blue hour” – and refers to that time at the end of the day just after the sun has set but before complete darkness.

When my first husband and I divorced and he remarried, he gave his wife a bottle of this perfume!

For casual wear in the summer I use Blue Grass. I think it’s by Elizabeth Arden. It is the freshest, cleanest fragrance.

I hope all of you store your fragrances in dark places!

I have a few favourites!

One is Kouros, by YSL, mentioned by Zenster. A girl I had a brief fling with wore it and even now the scent still makes me weak at the knees.

I also really like CK One (I wear it when I’m feeling happy and upbeat), CK Be (I wear it when I’m trying to pick up) and Tommygirl (I wear it when I’m feeling happy-go-lucky).
Mmmmmmmmmmm.

Whatever it is, please wear less of it.

After years and years of looking and buying and trying perfumes ( and always coming out smelling like rubbing alcohol) I finally found a nice, soft fragrance that does not overwhelm nor make me smell like a hospital ward.

**Summer Hill ** by Crabtree and Evelyn.

At the moment I use, ** Acqua di Gio ** (for daytime) and ** Armani Mania ** at night - both Giorgio Armani.

My primary fragrance is ‘Amarige’ by Givenchy; second favorite is Tuscany by Estee Lauder (I believe), and third would be Caroline Farrera. I’m sure I just butchered the name. :slight_smile:

Chanel #5 for everyday wear.

Jean Paul Gaultier about once a week.

For me my two favorites are “Antonia’s Flowers” (from a floral shop in the Hamptons, NY) - and “Origins Ginger Essence”. Yum!

For men my all time favorite is “Cacherel for Men”. The first love of my life was a Swede. He wore this all the time. If I do encounter it now (very rare that I do), I feel an odd mixture of intense desire and extreme heartache. It’s really wild. Darn that olfactory memory bank!

I like the smell of Ralph by Ralph Lauren, but when it gets on my skin it smells a little soapy.

I like Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden, the White fragrance from Armani, and Tommy Girl.

Patchouli - not on me, I mean, on a lady.

It brings me feelings of inexpressible longing, memories of a glorious summer day with a long-haired hippy girl in a flowing dress, out in a balmy sweet pasture.

Which really sucks, because I never had such a girl and don’t know why I remember it whenever I smell patchouli…

Exclamation- So far the perfume that has received the most positive comments.

Free Fall and Don Algodón are the other ones I use.

My old standard is Poison by Dior, but I have a weakness for Black Pearls by Elizabeth Taylor. I try to collect all of her scents, but they’re usually too feminine and soft for my personal use. Pearls has a heavier, muskier scent to it that makes me a bit fluttery in the tummy.

:wink:

But Kouros is a men’s fragrance.

I like L’eau par Kenzo (a very fresh, clean scent), Feu d’Issey Light (warm, some floral with a hint of spice), and Chanel’s Chance (floral/fruity). Chance is the only Chanel offering I’ve seen that smells good on me. Embarrassingly, I also like Jennifer Lopez’s “signature” scent, Glow. It’s surprisingly subtle, a mild and pleasant floral that doesn’t seem too “young”. I bought a bottle and tore the tacky little rhinestone “JLo” pendant off. I’ve gotten a lot of compliments while wearing it.
