Oh yikes! ALL kinds of perfumes! Perfume is a personal treat for me. I love scents. One of my friends thinks it's freaky when I can tell what lip gloss she is wearing by the smell. No matter how yucky the work shift, you catch a faint whiff of your perfume up out of your shirt, and it's nice to smell your perfume, even if you are in steel toes, men's uniform, and a hairnet bent over a stinky manhole in the intersection getting the daily wastewater sample or a broken pump blorping fat substitute all over the floor. It's a little break from the ordinary, every day.
Like lots of florals, some musks, some chypre scents: Coty Emeraude, Prince Matchabelli (PM) Wind Song, PM Wind Song Ginger Lotus, Cachet, Lutece, Avon Rare Sapphires, Coty Chypre, Aspen for Women, that heavenly new damask rose scent from Yves Rocher (YR) called Rose Absolute, Avon Hawaiian White Ginger, Stanley Legend of Love, Stanley Esperanza, Avon Peach Soft Musk, Avon Peony Soft Musk, Avon Pur Blanca, Avon Incandessence, Avon Haiku, YR Pur Desir de Lilas, YR Pur Desir de Gardenia, Celine Dion Notes, Crabtree & Evelyn Extract of Mysore Sandalwood (actually for men, but I love it), and those are the big favorites. I was a terrible perfume hound for a long time, but I have reformed myself. I sold off a bunch on Ebay a few years ago and at yard sales, and I haven't bought a new fragrance myself in two years. Mom gave me the Rose Absolute for Christmas, because she knew I was mooning over it. My hubby gave me Celine Dion Notes for last Valentine's Day, because he knew I liked it.
I can't really wear makeup without breaking out from it, other than lip balm, lip gloss, and some lipsticks. I have never had a problem with perfume, other than Esperanza from Stanley. Esperanza is a slightly musky scent, one I quite liked when I was younger, but it grows very, very strong when I wear it. It reached the point that I would spritz one single spray into the air, wait five seconds, then walk through it to keep it at a normal scent level later in the day for me.

A lot of perfumes & air fresheners kick up my asthma, so I have to be careful. I absolutely love patchouli oil, but it makes my hubby's asthma angry. I don't wear it anymore, but I used to have a little bottle & wore it when he was in the National Guard & was gone for the weekend or the annual training. Now I usually just use some musk or some nag champa oil.

Does the Musk scents bother either of your Asthma?

I used to always wear perfume, but when I started massage school they advised us not to. I could not stand to not wear anything, so I switched to lighter versions such as scented lotions, splashes and body spray. If I have a client scheduled on a particular day that I know is sensitive to scents, I won't put any on until after their appointment. I also have to be careful of which candles I burn.
I like a variety of scents, so I really couldn't vote. All that I could say is that I don't like strong scents. It almost gags me when people smell like they dunked themselves in a vat of perfume.:eek:

No, musks don't bother either of us as long as they're just musk. Vanilla musks, or floral musks, or anything like that will put me right over the edge.

I used to wear white shoulders all the time, and white diamond. I just got a small bottle of obsession and sung by alfred sung; oh and the happy sample too :)

I loooove Ralph Lauren Ralph Rocks, but it was limited edition. I also loooove Clinique Happy and Cool Water by Davidoff.
I am very high maintenance when it comes to scents. I also own most of the scents from Bath and Body Works.:D

I tend to stick with the stuff I can afford though. I usually wear Bath & Body Works. My very favorite is Vanilla Bean Noel. I also really like Sheer Freesia.
