What is your Favorite Perfume, scent, bodyspray, etc?

Hi Again Perfumistas and Perfumisters...lol  (I know, I know......hardy-har-harr, but I just had to say it.)

Question for the day or in this case evening.  What is your favorite scent?  It can be anything.  Cheap expensive, gifted to you.  Doesn't matter.

Or if you cant narrow it down maybe just the types of perfumes you enjoy.  Fruity, heavy, super sweet, woody?

My tastes vary wildy and I have favorites I guess in every style of scent.  I'd have to say nothing beats a first love of perfume.  In my case it was the very first perfume that I bought myself with my own money many many MANY years ago.

Many people hate it for all the reasons I love it.  My favorite perfume is.....

SHALIMAR by Guerlain!

Yes the much maligned lovely fragrance that fit me at the tender age of 18.  Usually referred to as an "old lady" perfume but it immediately struck my young heart with daydreams off a bygone era and romance and love and poetry read by moonlight in a garden next to a deep blue pool of water, the gentle sound of which echos in my fantasies to this day.  Ah Shalimar how you bring back my youth!

  1. My favorite, signature scent at the moment is Burberry Brit, but I am going to change that to possibly "Coco Noir" by Chanel, or the regular "Coco" since I'm looking for a good high end perfume with notes of clove. I love the dark, warm, spicy scents. Vanilla and sandalwood however are to die for. Burberry Brit smells so classy on me, definitely a scent I would wear daily. I have a thing for the older more "mature" smelling scents. Another favorite of mine is "White Diamonds" by Elizabeth Taylor. :)
