For the first time in my scent-wearing life I don't really have a signature scent and rather enjoying it, I feel like I've widened the horizons of my nose.

So what perfume do YOU love...hate...found perfect...or different one for every mood?
I love scent, all kinds. When I was a young man and single, I once followed a woman for some distance on the streets of San Francisco because I was curious about the name of her perfume or cologne. I got up the nerve to stop her and ask and she replied that it was a perfume called "Something Blue". I tried purchasing it sometime later and found out that it had been discontinued. I still remember the scent. I wear a slight splash of men's cologne called "Aramis".

I used to wear Linen & Lace? from Avon when I was about twelve...apparently it went with my birth month. :wah: Then I went with Poison for a while but it was really strong. Then a boyfriend when I was 16 wore a hint of Polo. I loved it and wore it to remind me of him. Still like it. Then I stopped wearing any for a while because I worked close to "sensitive" actors who often had allergies. Plus everything in the trailer had a scent to it and it started to drive me mad. Now I wear CK One but I'm not real attached to it. I just bought a large bottle so I'm stuck with it until its done. I do like wearing men's cologne though. I think it's sexy...I guess. I hate all the flowery stuff.

I remember wearing "Love's Baby Soft" in 6th and 7th grade. NAUSEATING!!!! Blech...Ptooey...I smell it now and it's like choking on a cloud of baby powder.

I also wore Poison, Koan! All you needed was a tiny mist that you walked through and you were good for a day and a half!!

Guess what else? I wore men's cologne too...Weird. Or is it? Any other women here wear men's cologne?

Now I wear Hanae Mori, and if I don't put that on, I have a body spray by Luxe, called Sangria splash that's really nice.

Matt wears Laagerfeld and it still makes my knees weak...

I feel so close to you now. We shared our smell for so many years and now we are brought together :-4 by fate.

I really never had just one signature cologne, I always had several (Obsession for men, Eternity for men, Arimus, Brut, to name a few) that I used daily to keep things interesting.
