When you choose a perfume, you are expressing something about the way you want to see yourself or your "fragrance personality".

Do you want to feel fresh and clean?
Exotic and energetic?
Youthful or woman-of-the-world?

Each type of scent echoes a certain mood or personality. Here are the types of scents and the characteristics they emit to help you choose what are most suitable for your needs and lifestyle.

FLORAL SCENTS: reveal a very feminine character.

FRESH AND CLEAN SCENTS; Fresh perfumes are particularly suitable for the younger woman. Though still floral in character, they all have a distinct "green" scent. (usually obtained from the citrus family)

:are good to wear to perk up your day.

:for those youthful at heart


SPICY SCENTS: (Most great perfumes fall into this group) Women who wear spicy scents have more of the sexy side in them and wear the scent to be remembered--- they're more of the sexy and powerful type


WOODY SCENTS: suited for people who loves the outdoors



The most important thing in picking a fragrance is that the scent should meet your individual needs. Consider which parts of your personality you want to bring out with the scent you choose...


Perfume scents are powerful. It can influence one's mood or disposition simply by triggering memories that are most likely associated with the perfume scent.


perfume scenta are also very similar to fashion. It is a way of expressing one's self.



I own several perfumes...however, the most that I use are:

Lacoste Touch of Pink (alternately with banana rep)
Banana Republic Classic (my everyday perfume)
Gap Dream (during evenings)



I do have Clinique Happy too...as well as some Victoris Secret scents... I still have a little of Tommy True Star (i feel so bad it was discontinued)....



most of the scents I have are mild...some are fruity...


I guess because of my wash-and-wear personality... I love scents that I can wear anytime no matter what the ocassion is.. and they have to be subtle as possible...



Light as they are, i get a lot of compliments when I wear my top 3 fave perfumes...




What perfumes do you love to wear???

i'm a female but i'm not to big on the girly perfumes i like the smell of mens colognes better so i used to wear alot of those. i now where some girly perfumes but i have no idea what the are called. i just put it on and if the hubby likes it i wear it again. if he doesn't then i don't wear it. as for the mens colognes i still like wearing those above all else but i don't because my hubby asked me not to

i have chemical sensitivity to scents meaning i get migraines from them. however, there are some scents i can tolerate and nothing ups my senses than to smell fruity scents on another person. i do feel sorry for some people who reek of any chemically scented perfumes or colognes or eau de toilette, even lotions. as it it is said that the moment somebody farther than a foot smells your scent then you are wearing too much. also, in health, people who can't smell if they're reeking of perfume already are those deficient in zinc. also, they have to be sensitive to people like me who suffers from too much scents. some people get nauseas, some suffer breathing problems, some get migraines...peace surrender

hi there ritch.. I am sensitive to certain scents too as I have terrible migraines...

the Coco Mademoiselle makes me gag and choke...
smells like a nagging woman in a supermarket...

i stick to the ones I have coz they're very light and pleasant...

Hi patofgold, I wrote to myspace about Pixprofit. If they have any issues they will let us know. In the meanwhile, I figured out that these people are only trying to develop such database so that they can sell it to prospective interactive websites. It makes sense, doesnt it? Especially since they themselves are using a captcha at the time of registering the data entry operators. But what disturbs is they dont have any formal agreement - terms of contract. May be the person who designed the website forgot that. Coming to this discussion, my favorite would be what my mother used to use - but I dont know the name of it. :( I was much too young to know. I can only remember the smell faintly. I prefer floral scents, but I also like sandalwood - which is woody. Spicy is definitely no no. The brands that we get here are very different from the ones u all get there. I am happy enough with the local brands.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1648)   ranked 201 out of 3,538 in me  3 years ago

hi vand!!!
wow it's nice of you to inform myspace about pixp...

a lot of people have grown weary about the site...and even if they do pay..it doesn't make them legit and legal...


but let's wait and find out...



--


Yeah i am not so much into spicy perfumes too...
especially when it's hot... it would fill my whole car and it's terrible...



that's why i love my all-time favorite scents! They never let me down

Dear friend, I generally prefer very mild perfumes as i am allergic to very strong perfumes Ita intense smell makes me irritating. I always prefer mild flower perfume. But i apply perfumes rarely. Thanx and happy mylotting

I have a nephew that if he comes into contact with most perfumes, he's more than likely gonna be making a trip to the emergency room. I don't live near him anymore and there's not that much chance of him popping in. But, I still don't wear perfumes. Since I'm pretty sure there's a few out there that are just as sensitive.

But, yous are aware that many of the chemicals that are claimed to be toxic in cigarettes are also thrown into the perfumes right? so, weather you feel any noticable reaction or not, if they are bad for your health in the cigs, they are bad for you health in the perfume.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1648)   ranked 201 out of 3,538 in me  3 years ago

oh my i wish you never told me how bad they are...
i love perfumes so much i would still wear them even if it harms me lolz!


myLot reputation of 74/100. Koriana (165)  3 years ago

my friend mixes pure herbal oils and can come up with some pretty nice scents that doesn't contain all the craps. but well, she knows what she's doing. I imagine that there's some pretty scented oils out there that might irratate the skin too.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1648)   ranked 201 out of 3,538 in me  3 years ago

i know..but i'm crazy over scents...i couldnt really care much about the bad effects LOLz...

so nice of your friend to know such stuff...wish I had that talent.


myLot reputation of 74/100. Koriana (165)  3 years ago

she didn't know that much about it at the beginning either, she did alot of research, experimented, and now, she is using what she learned, and running a business.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1648)   ranked 201 out of 3,538 in me  3 years ago

oh wow... she's got talent... I think she needs to be on top of that... talents like that could earn her a fortune!

I love a lot of different scents but, I suffer from migraines and so I'm very limited as to what I can wear. The longer I am exposed to a scent the more likely I am to get a migraine. I have wore the same perfume for probably 20 years because it's the only one that doesn't give me a headache. I wear Designs.


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1648)   ranked 201 out of 3,538 in me  3 years ago

hey zephyr... I do get migraines a lot too..that is why i am picky on the scents i wear...


only few would work best for me..and i stick to them...


strong perfumes definitely give me migraines...and i try to avoid them...


I never wore Designs and i don't remember trying the scent too... but must be good since you stuck with it for a long time.

Hello Pat, my favourite scent is Joop! And it has a lovely fresh fruity smell about it, when I used to work in an office full mostly of women I was forever getting compliments about my scent and many said I was quite fruity! Flattery and all that, but it always went down well. So men if you are reading this, use Joop and you'll have the women all over you, like bees around honey!!!! I also like CKOne and my mum always comments on the smell, 'You smell nice'! But I get more compliments over Joop, so naturally I like to have a good stock of Joop in my collection just for the ladies ;0)


myLot reputation of 96/100. patofgold23 (1648)   ranked 201 out of 3,538 in me  3 years ago

I have seen that in perfume stores..but I havent really smelled it...must be very good if you get a lot of compliments in it...
if I have a boyfriend, I won't let him wear that or else women will be all over him and I might flip!
good thing it works best for you wolfie!
