Best women's perfumes?

Question

Ladies, (and guys your input is even more valuable!) I don't know why but summer just makes me want to splash on the perfume...hate the heavy, rich, and especially floral (like rose/lilacs) heavily scented stuff...don't even mention White Diamonds I threw out a whole bottle...those perfumes give me migraines...but what are some nice scents out there?

I love fuity stuff...like Tommy Bahama has a pinapple/lime/tequila one out that is awesome...but it doesn't seem to last. I want perfumes that linger and yet have a lemon/lime, fruity and light scent or soft scent.

Any recommendations? Body sprays are nice but they don't last long either and dry out my skin. Thanks!

Answer 1

I like Instant Vacation by MARK. Its very light floral and kind of a coconut smell. www.mymarkstore.com/jwilliamson is where you can find it. also remember that a toilette is not going to last as long as a perfume.

Answer 2

I wear Soft Musk by Avon, it is subtle and no one at work has complained it is too overpowering. Isn't that the worst when people just seem to bathe in their perfume. That is the wrong way of wearing any perfume. Less is always more with perfume, I use Musk because it works with your own body chemistry so it will not smell the same on another woman. People should be able to smell the perfume you wear when they are at close proximity, like in an elevator or talking close to you. Good luck.

Answer 3

For the summer clean fresh just out of the shower no perfume at all is best.


You mentioned that a certain perfume gave you migraines. Let me give word of warning . I can wear none of my favorite perfumes due to having developed a sensitivity to them over time. This is also true of the scents my co-workers wear, both male and female.

Answer 4

DKNY- Be delicious (green bottle) is strong in a nice way, gets you noticed

Estee Lauder- Pleasures. This is one my fav very floral and feminem. I got so many complements with this

Ralph Lauren-Ralph. Cool and nice scent for everyday wear

J.Lo-Glow- smells very soft and powdery

Try victoria's secret Garden collection's "Pure seduction" little perfume bottle (since you don't like the body sprays) It's soooooo sweet but not annoying. My bf, friends, and people in general have complemented me in it. Once i sprayed it and my teacher stopped to ask who was eating that sweet candy lol

Answer 5

My all time favorite perfume, which I have been wearing since high school, is Eternity!! And boy do men love it! As simple as walking down the streets guys are like "excuse me what are you wearing...you smell nice". You should try that one!! I don't really like the stuff from Victoria Secret because most of them are over powering in scent. Makes you hold your breath...Yuckk!!

Answer 6

I really like the Abercrombie one. Or I am totally in love with the Co-Co Chanel. I get lots of compliments with the Chanel. Gucci has some good ones too. The Gucci is more floral- it is called Gucci Envy Me 2.

Answer 7

I just bought Very Sexy Now at Victoria's Secret. It is a good summer scent as long as someone does not put on too much.

Answer 8

Youd probably do best to go to a perfume counter and tell the clerk there exactly what youve told us.

My personal favorites are:"
Je Reviens
Jungle Gardenia
and Shalimar

Answer 9

I really like Escada's summer ones. They change every summer, i personally preferred last year one, but still fresh and fruity. Also liked Jennifer Lopez's (I know, I know, but I still like it) old one, I can't remember it's name. Oh! And In Love Again, but Yves Saint Laurent. Yes, I love perfumes.
