miserableme Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Instead of giving you the benefit of the doubt, I'm going to assume that most of you don't know the names of many fragrances. So, I was wondering what type you like on a woman? fruity? floral? earthy? musky? smells like food? other? I've always had good experiences with fragrances like vanilla, caramel, coconut and sweet smelling things. Do you think they are too childish? Link to comment
jurupa Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 First off I am all so insutled by your comment that I do not know the name of the stinky stuff that girls wear. But to answer your question I like fragrances that are not that powerfull of a smell and have a plesant smell to them, like the ones you liste, vanilla, caramel, and coconut. But make sure you smell them first becuase some companies make the smell to strong. If I had to chose I would either go with vanilla, or the smell you get when you are in a flower garden on a bright sunny day in spring when all of the flowers are in bloom and you can smell the aroma from them. I have no idea what word from the stinky land (ie fragance land) repesents that lol. Link to comment
bebecole Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 smells like food?? lmao well im a girl, and guys seem to love when i wear the victoria secret sprays. Link to comment
Dako Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Depends on the woman. I like an occasional bit of perfume, but as a steady diet I prefer nothing at all. Link to comment
miserableme Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 First off I am all so insutled by your comment that I do not know the name of the stinky stuff that girls wear. I'm sorry if I offended you in any way It is true though. Most males I have encountered have no idea, they just know what smells good and what doesn't. As for trying before buying, I definitely will. I went shopping for something today but I was too overwhelmed by all the options. That's why I thought I'd ask. Link to comment

I thought that would be the case for some of you. I don't wear it all the time, just before a date or if I'm trying to impress. I like to smell yummy! Link to comment
Lady Bugg Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Oooooooooh..Bath and Body Works is one of my FAVORITE stores. I LOVE body sprays...especially Vanilla. I have a spray right now that smells like Coconut. I LOVE it. I work with the public ..and am often very close to people (I'm a hairdresser)..so hygiene is extremely important to me. I'd hate to have a client complain about my B.O.....lol. So I always have stuff on stock. I think body sprays are "softer" and not so overwhelming. I also like scented lotions because they tend to last longer. Link to comment
Lady Bugg Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Oh by the way....for guys I really like Cool Water cologne.Yummyyyyyy.. Link to comment
ElektraHere Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Gotta go with Bebe on this one Victoria Secret is always a winner. Especially Love Spell. YUMMM Smells soo good. Although somedays I forget to put my perfume on its just good old Downey that I smell. Link to comment
renaissancewoman101 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I also agree, Victoria's Secret fragrances are always heavenly. I like their Dream Angel's Halo scent. Flowery but not too strong. Link to comment
miserableme Posted July 31, 2006 Author Share Posted July 31, 2006 Haha, I knew I'd get mostly female replies. Which, is fine but women seem to have a much more developed sense of smell. Link to comment
itsallgrand Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Body Shop! Body Shop! That place is heaven to me. It really depends on your body. I can't wear sweet smells, bc it mixes with my body in a weird way. It's odd bc when i was younger I could wear tropical, fruity stuff. Now it just stinks on me! I think we each have our own unique smell preferences. Men included. One of my favorites on men is Soap. Link to comment
iamteddybearfeelmecuddle Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Victoria's Secret is great, Love Spell of course, and also Secret Crush, also Bath and Body works, Cotton Flower is nice. Link to comment
iamteddybearfeelmecuddle Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I kind of like Pear. I wonder if guys like Pear? Link to comment
DN Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 I like many fragrances on a woman. But not when she has taken a bath in it. Or, even worse and even more prevalent is when she uses it to cover up body odour (hint: it doesn't work, soap and water is still necessary). Link to comment
iamteddybearfeelmecuddle Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hey ladies don't sweat. We *glow*. sheeeesh... Link to comment
DN Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 Hey ladies don't sweat. We *glow*. sheeeesh... "Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire and ladies do but glow" Link to comment
iamteddybearfeelmecuddle Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 "Horses sweat, gentlemen perspire and ladies do but glow" .......Exactly............ Link to comment
DN Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 but even so that glow can sometimes be less than attractive to the nostrils. Link to comment
iamteddybearfeelmecuddle Posted August 1, 2006 Share Posted August 1, 2006 but even so that glow can sometimes be less than attractive to the nostrils. lol....I'm sure I wouldn't know anything about that... Link to comment
