STYLETHREAD -- LET'S TALK SHOP!

Renee · Kenneth Cole

What is your favorite fragrance?

rosie_the_riveter · Gucci

I own 5: Stacked Style Summer Lei, Aquolina Pink Sugar, DKNY Be Delicious, Philosophy Pure Grace, and Philosophy Falling in Love, oh and a couple of the Demeter fragrances. By far my favorite is Falling in Love because it's not strong but smells so lovely. My only complaint is that I wish it would last longer.

ILoveChoo · Hermes

I have a ton but I only ever really wear Hermes Eau des Mervailles or J'adore.

I also have Happy (so sick of it), Dior Addict, and this kids perfume called Butterfly that smells heavenly but is discontinued so I am afraid to use what I have left.

sfclinevandy · Coach

I own about 30... I keep them all on a tray on my dresser. My mom is addicted to perfume too so that's where I get it from. Also, I'm a Gemini and need lots of variety. On my tray, I've got Escada Collection, Escada Margaretha Lea, Chanel Coco, Coco Mademoiselle, Guerlain Shalimar, Guerlain Samsara, Guerlain Champs-Elysses, Banana Republic Modern, Gucci Rush, Gucci Rush II, Trish McEvoy Black Berry and Vanilla Musk, McEvoy Snowdrop and Crystal Flowers, Victoria's Secret Body by Victoria, Jill Sander Pure, Prada (which I swear is a clone of Shalimar, which I like better), Tabu (cheapo drugstore fragrance that I adore), Thierry Mulger Angel, Elizabeth Arden Red Door (what my mom wore when I was younger so I keep it for sentimental reasons), and Demeters scents in Gin and Tonic, Ginger Ale, Mint Julip, Mojito, Earl Gray, and Orange Juice. I know I'm missing a lot too. I'm a dork and sometimes match the style of my outfit to a fitting scent.

I prefer warm, spicy orientals. My signature is Escada Collection... my mom originally bought it for me for Xmas only because she thought the bottle was pretty. I love it though and not many people wear it. In winter I like Coco, but that's more common which I don't like. In summer, I like Banana Republic Modern which is a little hard to find now, but it's a light green scent that I wore all through highschool. My first perfume I bought was Electric Youth. I don't care what you say... it still smells decent. I never got into Sunflowers like everyone else I knew.

honey · Gucci

i have about 5 perfumes that i rotate semi-regularly, angel innocent (gift from my dad), calgon hawaiin ginger body spray, some other random calgon spray i think it has lilies in the title, violetas & francescas (it's this spanish splash cologne for babies), and demeter thunderstorm (which for some i can only find online and in atl). i actually like them all equally with the exception of the 2nd calgon one. on a daily basis i rotate b/t the calgons and violetas & francescas, and wear angel & demeter when i go out. there are some other things that i keep meaning to add (some jo malone & demeter's wet garden) but i always forget.

i think the first perfume i bought was either clarins' elysium or a box set of calvin klein fragances with eternity, obsession, and escape.

JoceyBaby23 · Gucci

I have 6.

My favorite and daily is Burberry Brit. I also occasionally use: VS Angels, Chanel #5, Glow by JLo, and BCBG (pink bottle and blue bottle)

bex · Chanel

i have several but my favorites are Burberry Brit and Jean Paul Gaultier Fragile.

lsubatgirl · Gucci

I have 3 that I love: Escada Island Kiss, Kate Spade Beauty, and OP Juice. I like to use up a bottle before getting another or trying another.

dot · Marc Jacobs

I am glad to know that I'm not the only fragrance junkie on the board. :)

My most recent purchase, that my bf and I also bought for cc, is a custom perfume by Susanne Lang. I have been working on a scent and I've been taking my time deciding on the perfect blend. I tend to change my mind about a fragrance after a short period of wear. I am due back for another visit. The last sample I had made was too busy.

Other fragrances that I own are:

Frederic Malle Lipstick Rose
Frederic Malle Un Parfum de Therese
Frederic Malle Iris Poudre
L'artisan Mure et Musc
Bobbi Brown Beach
Michael by Michael Kors
Marc Jacobs

ps my first scent was debbie gibson's electric youth! i smelled the ashley olsen perfuem the other day.. very close to electric youth.

bumblebee · Dooney & Bourke

i'm just like sfclinevandy--gemini who likes to have lots of choices available (though i hardly ever even remember to spritz the perfume on!). i have a whole bunch of bottles on a silver tray on my dresser, but what i wear most often is the roll-on monyette paris one. here are the ones i can remember that i have:

donna karan cashmere mist

hermes 24 faubourg (the beautiful glass bottle with stopper, not spray, that i bought in paris)

escada can't remember name (the green one), maybe lily something

givenchy hot couture (no one wears this one, but i love it for going out)

narciso rodriguez

happy

armani mania

chanel allure

lucky you (too sweet, but was a gift)

oscar de la renta (the original one)

calvin klein escape

gucci envy

issey miyake

kiehl's musk oil

oh yeah, michael by michael kors

the one i really want now is the diptyque one that smells like the baies candles--it's called l'ombre dans l'eau. mmm.

Prissy · Dooney & Bourke

I'm simple just one: Coco Mademoiselle

kibsh · Nine West

I have a ton. I love perfume! But right now I am really into Dolce and Gabbana Sicily, I could smell it all day. I also adore DKNY Be Delicious and True Star by Tommy H.

ejc423 · Coach

I have a ton and I hardly ever wear it, but my favorites right now are lolita lempicka and some stuff from voluspa called enfleurage.

Elle · Hermes

I wear Donna Karan Black Cashmere in the fall/winter and Chanel Coco Mademoiselle in the spring/summer.

sfcaligirl · Dooney & Bourke

i have three right now- victoria's secret very sexy, clinique happy, gucci II

happy was my signature scent for years (i know, it's not very original). i'm talking since high school. i still love the way that it smells on me. but i felt like i was ready for a change. at first i just incorporated very sexy- i'd wear that in the fall/winter and happy in the spring/summer. then finally i gave in and bought gucci II and now i wear that daily- it was hard to give up my happy habit!

Karina · Chanel

I get 3 new fragrances every season.. right now I am wearing

Eau de Cartier

Stella McCartney

Fresh Pomegranate Anise

twinkle · Coach

STELLA MCCARTNEY is my favorite

Also I (embarrassingly) really like J Lo Glow

And By from D&G but I'm out of that.

OMG ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hahahaha it's so funny because i don't really like even most dept. store perfumes.. i hate it when someone else smells like me, but i really like glo! that's too funny.

i've asked for it for xmas a bunch of times and haven't gotten it yet. i am embarassed to buy it myself. i actually really like miami glo too!

bumblebee · Dooney & Bourke

i kind of secretly want the miami glow (even though i have never even smelled it) because of the super cute little beaded bracelet with flip-flop charm that is wrapped around the bottle. i guess it's the 5-year old in me...

dot · Marc Jacobs

^^oops i just realized it was "gloW" not "glo". i don't know.. i just thought j. LO... gLO?
