I bought a bottle of my old favourite, Jean-Paul Gautier - Le Male.
So, I excitedly google searched all the listed ingredients:
butylphenyl methylproprional, coumarin, hydroxyisohexyl 3-cyclohexene, carboxaldehyde, linalool, alpha-isomethyl ionone, bht, benzophenone-3, limonene, cinnamal, citral, geraniol, eugenol, citronellol
Most of the above are hightly controversial. Some are listed as having effects on the CNS, being carcinogenic, of having mutagenic effects on sperm.
I was pretty amazed. One listed chemical fragrance is the same found in fabric conditioner brand 'Lenor', credited with extreme permanence, and lasting several washes, which explains why JPG Le Male sticks around for so long, and on clothes.
One chemical in the list has been banned from being sold as a perfume, and can only be sold as a 'fragrance', a lesser denomination.
http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:A...Ne4d6GAlNffig=
For those who are unaware, JPG smells like a mid-90s gay club full of orange tanned queens wearing lime green tank tops, lycra and fluoro accessories.
Do not let that put you off. It is a winning fragrance, beloved of men and women. Honest. ;)

Fearless and inventive, Slave Leia Perfume by Genki Wear includes floral top notes of white peach, lily, bergamot, heliotrope, and raspberry that dry down to a warm sultry mix of cashmere woods, musk, and night-blooming jasmine.
The question that torments me is why the Slave Leia bottle doesn't come in a tin bikini, if Eau Lando comes in a blue cape ?!?Quote:
Classy and stylish, Eau Lando Cologne by Genki Wear is a potent mix of mandarin warmed with incense and lotus flower, exotic woods, dark violet and sensuous musk.
Currently enjoying this

First of all, I'm that kind of persons who likes using JUST 1 PERFUME during his/her lifetime. Lifetime...who knows but at least I keep using this perfume since ever. I'm in love with its smell and I gotta say there are not many girls using this, so my classmates, friends or family know everytime I'm around lol, even I 'play hide and seek' :lol:
I have always used the same, and I'm gonna still use the same:
So now you guys know how Liia smells like lol.
http://images.esellerpro.com/2239/I/...EEF0103002.JPG
Before using a perfume, cologne or eau de toilette, its absolutely important to have a very clean skin, so the smell persists and lasts even more than predicted. :) Well, this is an obvious routine, right? First shower/bath and then use whatever kind of perfume for the body (splash, spray, perfumes, etc...).
Anyway, my point is, post 5 favourite perfumes the ones you mostly like/use. Also make sure there are winter and summer smells, you can mix your 5 choosen or just post 5 for summer, 5 for winter. As you like to. I'll start.
Smells, brands and perfumes for summer (order of use):
1. Calvin Klein, One. (Unisex)
http://colombiaventas.com/sites/defa...e%20unisex.jpg
2. Cerruti 1881 Femme
http://www.perfumeralia.com/WebRoot/...1881_femme.jpg
3. Lacoste Inspiration
http://tododeperfumes.com/catalog/pr...81011_zoom.jpg
4. Ralph Lauren Rocks
http://www.parfemyprevas.sk/image/ra...ren-rocks1.jpg
5. Yves Rocher, Rose Absolue
http://reviewperfumes.com/wp-content...921166E+13.jpg
Smells, brands and perfumes for winter (order of use):
1. Burberry Weekend
http://www.perfumesbaratos.com/image...n%20perfum.jpg
2. Emporio Armani, Elle (been using it for many years now)
http://www.divinoperfume.com/images/...20100%20ml.jpg
3. Hugo Boss Femme

Light Blue Dolce & Gabbana

pure poison is my fave, but i used up my last bottle years ago
I have been faithful to this perfume for the last couple of years, I love it so much I don't wanna change :)
http://mypannpann.net/shop/wizstock/img/1305102965.jpg
I love Givenchy Amarige, Estee Lauder Tuscany Per Donna, Guerlain Samsara, and Victoria's Secret Basic Instinct. (Which is discontinued.)
I don't differentiate my fragrances in the seasons. I kind of just go by what a perfume would be appropriate for.: /
1.) Lust by Lush. It's gratuitous jasmine upon jasmine. And I think there are some other notes like rose and vanilla, but it's mostly jasmine, and jasmine is an aphrodisiac. Lust is a good one if you're getting all gussied up to go out with a man or if you're going out in hopes of meeting a man. ;) And it's $35 USD for a 1oz bottle of Eau de Parfum.
http://fimgs.net/images/perfume/nd.10806.jpg
2.) Premier Figuier by L’Artisan Parfumeur. This is what I often reach for when I'm going to class or heading to my internship. It's light an crisp, not overpowering at all. Plus, it has the benefit of being the only fig-based fragrance that actually smells good on me. It also has notes of sandalwood and almond milk. It just smells pleasant without seeming too generic.
http://www.luckyscent.com/images/products/15203.jpg
3.) Delirium by Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab (perfume oil). It smells like crisp apples! This is another good one for everyday purposes because it's pretty light and a little on the playful side.
4.) Rosa by Santa Maria Novella. Pure, unadulterated rose. I think it's classy, and it's another one of my "dressing up" perfumes.
5.) Bryant Park by Bond No. 9. Because sometimes it's fun to smell like raspberries. This is a really unique fragrance. I get complimented on it a lot when I put it on.

It was my favorite perfume but I heard it is discontinued :mad::(

I have quite a lot, but none of them tops it
Mine is Allure by Chanel

For mornings,and my favourite:

For evenings and nights out,this amazing stuff.Nothing smells like it,it's unmistakable,like Rive Gauche:
http://www.perfumeralia.com/WebRoot/...e_0020_Men.jpg
For a kinky and hot night in good company....the EDP is much better (and heavier) than the EDT.This is very potent stuff:
http://houseoffraser.scene7.com/is/i...30_50_20090420
I like these too,they're just not as unique and distinctive as the others already mentioned:

I believe in equality. :coffee:Quote:
Since 1964, our brand has been interwoven in the fabric of America. BRUT is oftentimes the first fragrance bought by teenagers around the world, marking their transition to manhood. Since our inception, BRUT cologne has blossomed into a full product line complementing all stages of the male grooming process. Some qualities that most BRUT men seem to have been born with over the years include, but are in no way exclusive to, the following:
A man who defines his own style.
He is a man who believes in equality and being true to yourself. He is not driven by what others think of him. His determination and self-worth is motivated by staying true to himself and who he is. He accepts responsibilities for his actions, is comfortable with his decisions, and isn’t concerned about what other people think.
He is a man who sees possibilities and makes them happen. Who is always respectful of the opposite sex. Who understands the code of the gentleman and who is at ease with and courteous to people even though they’re different from himself.
He loves to win but realizes it’s not always about winning—sometimes it’s about the thrill of the hunt.
He has been the hundredth caller.
He is charitable and is always looking to give a hand to the downtrodden.
He is a leader of the young and always wants to makes things better for them.
He prefers things shaken, not stirred. But he will stir for others if that’s what they like.
He always learns from his mistakes, though he rarely makes them.
He has conviction, but is never convicted.
He hates false promises and always does what he says he is going to do.
He respects the opinions of others, but always makes up his own mind.
Don’t mistake his passion for anger, as there are very few things that truly upset him. He is the essence of man.
Such a simple and inoffensive fragrance.
It was the successor to:

I previously used Armani Code:
http://scenttown.com/product_images/...ode__73071.jpg
Now I use Acqua di Gio:
http://3.static.fragrancenet.com/ima...A_DI_GIO_M.JPG
But I don't use it much because I'm not even sure it works. I feel like pleasant smells just don't stay on me. I have oily skin, though; wouldn't that make a cologne stick to me even more?
Also, I can't really smell it after having had it for several days. I know that your nose stops noticing a smell after a while, but shouldn't I always be able to smell it for a half hour or so every morning?
I fail at cologne.
I like citrusy fragrance, like Calvin Klein Truth
and Dolce & Gabbana D&G Feminine
Female (and discontinued -.-)

Let me clarify - it was actually the new Chanel Chance:
http://www.chanel.com/en_GB/fragranc...6420_LARGE.jpg
Unexpected, sparkling and romantic.
Allow yourself to be swept up in the whirlwind of CHANCE. Similar to the Eau de Toilette, the Eau de Parfum is an Unexpected Floral, created by Jacques Polge like a marvelous constellation.
An unpredictable balance that continually surprises. A constellation of scents, warmed up by Absolute of Vanilla, where Absolute of Exotic Jasmine and Iris are more pronounced. A mysterious alchemy accentuated by the intensity of the White Musk note.
Not quite the same, yet not completely different either... With the Eau de Parfum, CHANCE becomes rounder, more generous and more enveloping...like new love.
As if to echo its warmer character, the Eau de Parfum fragrance has a beautiful amber-coloured shade, while its bottle is adorned with a few touches of gold: gold replaces silver for the letters of the word CHANCE and on the neck of the bottle, and a delicate line of gold underlines the edges of the folding carton. The cap is made in silvery metal.
