Drakkar Noir (my #1 fave!) Mine too!!!
#2 is Grey Flannel
#3 is Cool Water
#4 Old Spice. I know, but it it so retro, and soothing.

[Rellevart]

The only thing I ever wear is Gap's "So Pink". Sometimes I wear scented lotions or something, but I'm really not too big on cologne. I have two guy friends who wear some kind of cologne and they smell great, but I've never asked them what they wear, for some reason.

[ChrisG134]

secret deodorant

[Lynner]

My husband wears Pierre Cardin, which I like, but I also love Drakkar.

I usually just wear Clinique's "Happy" cuz I like the citrus scent. Halston used to be my scent, but now I just wear it on occasion. It's a bit stronger than what I prefer these days.
Another old fave is "My Sin" Still have a bottle!

[matt2791]

Febreeze! I use it in the car and on my clothes- sometimes even when I'm wearing them. I use Speed Stick Musk deodorant or Old Spice Red Zone. In the shower, I use Old Spice bodywash.

[sourmilkpinky]

secret deodorant


awww....don't keep it a secret, we want to know :laugh5:


I rarely use perfume either...my husband would rather welll....

but I have always liked old spice :teeth1:

[jesgear]

Mickey Mouse cologne (I know it's not targeting adults, but I dig the smell)
Lime English Leather

I used to wear Elvis cologne and also a cologne called S. E. X., but both have been discontinued.

I do like that Ralph Lauren cologne, but I when I do wear cologne, it's usually the Abercrombie and Fitch or Aramis Life.

[luvsthebeatles]

I like wearing vanilla perfume, but I haven't had any of it for three or four years now. :tongue1: I forget what fragrance my deoderant was... Carribean Cool I think? I don't know, my mom bought it.

[beatlelover45223]

I wear Cachet by Matchibelli, occasionaly I wear just a dab of Patchouli oil....

[Starry-eyed]

I like when my husband wears Drakkar Noir, (I think it's the only one he owns right now), and he used to wear Brut, which I also liked.
I don't wear too much perfume, as I have a hard time finding one I like. I used to love one called "Casaque" by Jean D'Albert, which was around in the 80's, but since then I haven't really found one that doesn't make me want to wash it off after a while!

[RainSoul]

Some perfumes that I wear are:
All three of Celine Dion's (the original, Notes, and Belong)
Provocative Woman
Victoria's Secret Pink
Britney Spears Curious
J.Lo Still
I guess I have most of the celebrity ones. :laugh5: I'm not a fan of Britney or J. Lo, either, but I like those perfumes a lot. I also like Estee Lauder Pleasures, but I haven't worn it much lately.

As for colognes, I think Tommy Bahama for Men & Michael Jordan smell really nice.

[Maxine]

My 3 favorite perfumes right now are:
* Romance by Ralph Lauren
* L´Eau Par Kenzo by Kenzo
* Stella by Stella McCartney

[BeatleChick]

I wear (generally)

Exclamation
Blush
Blue Up Laurin
and a few others whose names I can't recall...

And, I have a few French ones (given to me by my English cousin--who got them while in France) that I wear occasionally...

If I remember the names of the others, I'll post 'em here later!

And... my gosh, Dave, what a collection you've got! Hmm... always thought that you had a lot of "scents" to ya! (haha)! Guess I was right! TTYL!

[motherTheresa]

:wave2: hey, nice to see ya back, dave! where the hell have you been?

on sabbatical in the belgian congo or what? :wink3:

my faves are angel by thierry mugler , jessica mcclintock

& eternity by calvin klein.

i used to love cedrat de messine by l'occitane, but i don't think

they make it anymore...

i usually like men's scents more than women's, i'm not sure why

that is, unless i prefer the clean soapy smell. :teeth1:

[Ana_Lennon]

I love "Flowers" by Kenzo.

I also like "Miracle" by Lancôme, "Ultraviolet" by Paco Rabanne and 212 by Carolina Herrera

[DizzymissLizzy909]

Ok, I only remember one type of perfume I own - "Eau de toliette"... that doesn't REALLY translate into "Toliet Water" does it? :look:

[Magill]

Lately, I've been totally digging the scents offered by Bath & Body Works (my faaaavorite store!!!). They have this new line out that while I being shuffled out of the store last weekend by both arms, I managed to spritz on one of them. It was very nice. I must go back and investigate (on my own!!) . Currently I use their Cherry Blossom cologne. I also have a back-up in my purse----a mini bottle of CK's Escape. :smile1:

[matt5]

Ok, I only remember one type of perfume I own - "Eau de toliette"... that doesn't REALLY translate into "Toliet Water" does it? :look:

I am fairly certain that it does not!

[beatlelover45223]

Ok, I only remember one type of perfume I own - "Eau de toliette"... that doesn't REALLY translate into "Toliet Water" does it? :look:

from what I could find, this is an Italian, not French, I found this "Eau de Toilette usually ranges from 4-8% perfume oil" :smile1:

[Nowheregirl]

"Princesse Marina de Bourbon" and "Clinique happy". :)

[dav-here]

:wave2: hey, nice to see ya back, dave! where the hell have you been?

Oh...you know...here...there... :look:

my faves are angel by thierry mugler...

Angel is one of my wife's faves and I love it, too. Very unique scent. No flowers in Angel, just a whole lotta food (chocolate, vanilla, caramel, berries, honey, and bergamont fragrance notes)! I have the men's version, A*Men. It, too, has alot of food notes in it (bergamot, helonial, lavender, peppermint, coffee bean, tar, patchouli, tonka bean, vanilla, caramel, chocolate, and musk). A very sweet scent, but I dig it. Maybe because I have a sweet tooth!! :teeth3:

[dav-here]

...my gosh, Dave, what a collection you've got! Hmm... always thought that you had a lot of "scents" to ya! (haha)! Guess I was right!

I actually have ALOT more than the ones I listed at the beginning of this thread (some are samples and some are miniatures, but most are full sized bottles of the ones I really like), but I didn't want to list them all, lest you folks think I go as overboard with my fragrance collection as I do with my Beatles collection (and record collection, DVD collection, Sinatra collection, magazine collection, etc.)!!

Oh BTW, Becca, you might be interested to know that I recently purchased a bottle of Green Irish Tweed (by Creed). This scent was created in 1985 for...actor Cary Grant!!! It was his "signature scent"! I've tried it and it's a very sexy scent (it bears a very slight resemblance to Cool Water by Davidoff)!

[IMeMine1969]

I ususally wear either Sweet Temptation or Vanilla Lace, both from Victoria's Secret.

[dav-here]

My current top 5 frags:

1. Green Irish Tweed (Creed)
2. B*Men (Thierry Mugler)
3. John Varvatos (John Varvatos)
4. Magnetism for Men (Escada)
5. Very Irresistible for Men (Givenchy)

[dav-here]

John and Paul are on the list. Check it out!!

[Georgie Girl]

I like Chanel fragrances, and Dream Angels by Victoria's Secret, but my fave is L'air du Temps by Nina Ricci.

[VersusBatman]

I like most Este Lauder perfume. I have Beautiful which I love.

[HMVNipper]

Unfortunately, I can't really wear cologne/perfume anymore, my skin is too sensitive and I break out from it! But when I used to wear it, I liked:

Je Reviens by Worth (an old scent from the 1930s, my favorite!)
White Linen by Estee Lauder
Beautiful by Estee Lauder
Magie Noire by Lancome
Charlie by Revlon (which people always thought was a much more expensive scent when I wore it -- I guess it worked well with my body chemistry!)

Someone got me a bottle of Stella McCartney body lotion (and the scent from that lasts longer than cologne and doesn't really give me skin problems) and I quite like it too!

[rubbersoulster_mel]

Right now mine's J'adore by Dior. It's a nice because it's not too heavy or flowery. And as an added bonus, it doesn't make me sneeze. For some reason there are just some perfumes that drive my nose absolutely insane... a couple of years ago someone got me JLo for Christmas and the minute I opened the gift box the sneezing began and it didn't stop until they took the box of the room!! LOL

[Magill]

I like:
Calvin Klein's Euphoria
Calvin Klein's Escape
Philosophy's Amazing Grace

[Lucy]

I have worn Tommy Girl since I got it for my 19th birthday (I'm now 27) and have gone through countless bottles of it - I am one of these people that LOVES to smell of perfume and spray heaps on!!!
My husband gave me Stella for Christmas when it first came out because I am a big rose fan and that was my wedding fragrance. My mother has bought me lots of bottles of Stella too - each time I go back to visit her in NZ she has one waiting for me! I'm not complaining...the bottles are beautiful! The body milk is so lovely too and I have a cande in it.
I also have REALLY got into Curious by Britney Spears...it is sort of different and I love the products you can get like lip goss and scented shimmer powder.
And of course I love the Chanel ones and also Dior (Miss Dior is my fav out of them) but generally it will be Tommy, Stella or Britney that you smell on me.
My true long stayer in my collection has to be the Tommy Girl and everytime there is a Department Store sale, I will stock up on boxed sets of it!!

White Musk Oil - The Body Shop and Escape by Calvin Klein.

[motherTheresa]

now i have to go smell "vetiver guerlain" so i know what paul

smells like!

[ImaginePeace78]

Where do you buy the Stella McCartney perfume? It sounds like a nice scent. I wear all kinds of scents (not all at once)--from Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, Bathtopia.com etc.
-Kristi

[LovinLennon909]

Ralph by Ralph Lauren
or
Bath and Body Works' Coconut Lime Verbena body spray.

[beatlegirl9977]

I can't wear perfume, either, due to my allergies and my fiance's allergies (just about everything in this house has to be perfume/dye-free). I used to wear Exclamation (the original one--Exclamation Blush made me nauseous, literally), Malibu Musk (back to the early '90s there!!), Heaven Scent ('nother blast from the past), Moments by Priscilla Presley.

[beatlegirl9977]

Where do you buy the Stella McCartney perfume?
Marshall Field's carries it. I've smelled it before--it's a really nice scent!

I loved Heaven Scent , did you know they changed the fragrance :bigeyes3: smells yucky, like hair spray! :nono4:

[dav-here]

now i have to go smell "vetiver guerlain" so i know what paul smells like!

I own Guerlain Vetiver myself. It's a great "summer, outdoors-y" kinda scent. I can tell you it smells very "green", "grassy", and "clean" (maybe Paul likes it because he owns a farm).

Here are some reviews of Guerlain Vetiver:

LOL I don't know why there's this obsession with knowing what Paul smells like (I'm not making fun of it--I'm guilty of it too!)... I don't think anyone else has asked that 'round here about the other three...

:lightbulb:

hey, maybe it's because i know i'll never be able to meet him personally....

and knowing what he smells like is as close as it gets??

fragrance is such a personal thing.....dare i say intimate.....:eyebrows:

:wink2:

Blecch! It's been ages since I've bought that...glad I never bought anymore. I used to wear the original one (the blue-cap bottle) and the musk one, too, I think (it had a purple cap).

[beatlebangs1964]

I can't stand the smell of talcum powder. That is
one odor that makes me queasy. I have never
liked it. :thumbd:

I had a classmate a few years ago who wore:

Scent of No Deodorant - Underarm Odor
Scent of Dirty Clothes
Stealth Scent of Soap - this was one very funky, malodorous person!
Previous Meals on Breath - IKKK
Oh, and my personal least favorite - Stealth Scent of Clean Body!

I once told a relative her breath "would wilt a Beatle's bangs" and "melt a truck."

I dunno, I've heard other John girls (besides myself, I mean) wondering what he smelled like...however, I've heard that he didn't really use aftershave or cologne, so I wonder where that site that claims to have info about what the stars wear/wore got theirs about John. I have been told by those who should know, though, that even if he didn't use cologne, he smelled quite good! Wish I'd gotten close enough to find out... :eyebrows:

Some people just smell really good naturally. My husband doesn't use cologne or aftershave, just an anti-perspirant, and I think he has a really nice personal smell without any enhancements! Maybe John was one of those...

I've also heard from friends of mine who have met Paul that he DOES smell really good...kind of clean and lemony. That sounds pretty nice to me...

[Hari's Chick]

LOL I don't know why there's this obsession with knowing what Paul smells like (I'm not making fun of it--I'm guilty of it too!)... I don't think anyone else has asked that 'round here about the other three...

George used to wear Patchouli. :heart2:

[Hari's Chick]

I've read that a lot of the reason we're attracted to someone is because of their natural smell. Like people's houses... some you walk in and it smells yucky and suffocating... others smell fresh. But there is a theory that every person's natural smell is appealing to someone else, so long as the 'right match' is found? (Not withstanding the obvious personal hygiene, lol...)

I once told a relative her breath "would wilt a Beatle's bangs" and "melt a truck."
I once sat behind someonw who smelled of cheap cologne, beer, cigarette smoke, and sweat. Nasty!

[cinnamon]

Summer by Kenzo
Eau des Merveilles by Hermes
Tumulte by Christian Lacroix
Volupté by Oscar de le Renta
Eau de Campagne by Sisley
Mitsouko by Guerlain
Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel ... at the moment. I usually go for Oriental or green fragrances.

[beatlebangs1964]

Sadly, Bat, there are some very nasty people out there.

There is this nasty dude named Jason who :fart: and smells like :fart: and :barf4: He picks his nose; licks his fingers afterward; scratches his butt and sniffs his fingers. That makes me :barf4: :dead1:

Years ago when I relied on public transportation, this funky dude got on the bus. I don't think he took a bath since Elvis died. He had that bus so stinky it was like riding in a toilet or an outhouse. People were gagging and racing to open the windows and this was in the dead of winter in the cold country!

[VersusBatman]

Back to pleasant scents here, lol! I love the body butter in the Bath and Body Works that smells like cocoa.

[beatlebangs1964]

I love the smell of peach; apricot; coconut; rosemary; sage; lilac.

Does anybody else like using rose scented bath lotion? I love it.

I think I like the lilac best of all. Daffodil is another really pleasant aroma.

[VersusBatman]

I love anything rose scented. As well as lilac. We have a lilac bush and you have enjoy it while it lasts because lilacs don't last very long.

[beatlebangs1964]

Lilac is such a pleasant aroma. I also love the smell of freshly brewed herb tea, the fruit ones like the Orange Blossom tea and the Cherry Blossom Tea. The smell of cherries is such an olfactory treat.

[VersusBatman]

I love the smell of cedar wood.

[Magill]

Some people just smell really good naturally. My husband doesn't use cologne or aftershave, just an anti-perspirant, and I think he has a really nice personal smell without any enhancements!

Blackguard is like that too. He very seldom wears cologne, if at all. For him it's just plain ol' soap and deodorant. Not that I'm complaining. :smile1:
As for myself, I could (and have) do without. But I like to experiment and wear different kinds of fragrances to fit my different moods. :teeth1:

[beatlebangs1964]

So do I. I also like the smell of a new car.

Whenever I have the car washed and have my choice of fragrances, I tell the car wash people I'd like that fresh, rich cherry smell. I just LOVE that!

[Marmalade Skies]

George used to wear Patchouli. :heart2:
My mother wears it too. My friend walked in my house the other day and goes "Woah, your house smells like hippies!" And I was just like "Nah, that's only my mother." :laugh5: I really only wear Patchouli once in a while.

[Marmalade Skies]

( We also burn Patchouli insense, so that just makes our house smell more like it.We frequent insense,you see.)

I usually wear stuff fomr Bath and Body Works. I like Sweet Pea and Melon (though my friend Collin thinks it smells like strawberries and not a thing like a melon). For my birthday, I mom got me that Britnet Spears "Fantasy" stuff, which actaully smells very very nice and came in the coolest box ever.

[beatlegirl9977]

Does anybody else like using rose scented bath lotion? I love it.

I used to have some kind of tea rose-scented perfume--it was a nice light scent and it lasted all day. I think that was the only bottle of perfume that I ever completely used up before it lost its oomph!

[VersusBatman]

I like the coconut and lime scented stuff Bath and Body Works has.

[Roxy Starkey]

Very Irresisitible by Givenchy

[Magill]

I've also heard from friends of mine who have met Paul that he DOES smell really good...kind of clean and lemony.
Maybe he dusts regularly with Lemon Pledge.

[motherTheresa]

Very Irresisitible by Givenchy


"simply irresistible" by robert palmer!

:wink3:

[ImaginePeace78]

Years ago, I was on a list with Beatles/John fans and one person there had met John in the 70s. She passed away a couple of years ago, but I do remember her telling that John had a "lemony" or "citrus" scent. Even though he smoked, he did not have that smokey smell to him.

well, give us a cuddle, dave! lemme smell your neck!

[Georgie Girl]

I once sat behind someonw who smelled of cheap cologne, beer, cigarette smoke, and sweat. Nasty!
Hey, that cologne cost me $1.99! :angry1:

If I had bought two, they would have been 2/$3.00.
You could have had one!
