“Milk Chocolate” by Hershey used to bring Mrs. Maroon running. Now I prefer LAGERFELD. ---

I have a few, depending on the situation - Samsara - If i am going to a bar or smoky place, it’s strong enough to go over all that Obsession - for day to day wear, mostly in the fall/winter Gucci Rush - Summer wear, before wasp season Sandalwood from the Body Shop - If I am feeling like it I also like Mademoiselle from Coco Chanel and the original Coco Chanel, but it reminds me of my sister ---

I wear Lillie by Lillie Rubin most often which is about 24 times a year. A few times a year I wear the Salvador Dali scent in the orange lip bottle. I don’t wear scents often because 1) I have asthma, and 2) I’ve worked in healthcare for most of my adult life and sick people get really nauseated by many, many odors so it is much kinder not to wear any scents. ---

to lovelyluka, i too am an estee lauder girl. my favorite is “pleasures”, then “white linen”. then just “estee lauder”. i have fallen in love with marc jacobs, it is michael kors without the heavy stuff. i also agree with masonite and ruadh, intrest us with it, don’t smother us with it. i hate to get hit with an olfactory sledgehammer. guilty pleasure: design. it smells so clean. ---
