What do DUers smell like?
I want to find a new inexpensive type perfume or lotion that I love. Right now I use a lot of green tea scented perfumes and lotions but am looking for a change. I also like the scent of Curve which is fairly inexpensive but doesn't seem to last very long after application. Does anyone know of a good scent that doesn't cost a fortune?

1. I smell like Chanel No. 5
Sometimes I smell like Tiffany For Men.

Sometimes I smell like a relatively inexpensive bergamot cologne.

Sometimes I smell like marinara sauce.

Stuff happens.............

18. I smell like "Angel" by Thierry Mugler
Edited on Wed May-25-05 09:40 PM by Penndems
Or Chanel No. 5 . . .

Or "Butterfly" by Hanae Mori . . .

Or "Kors" by Michael Kors . . .

Or "Animale" by Robert Piguet . . .

(but not all at the same time. ;))

Go to www.sephora.com and use their fragrance finder.

There's an embarrassment of perfume (and cosmetic) riches to be found there.





(on edit: changes)

21. Dial soap, herbal shampoo, Lagerfeld aftershave lotion
and Mountain Fresh X-Tra laundry detergent. Colgate total toothpaste and listerine (the green kind) on the mouth angle.

I am very compulsively hygenic and smell-conscience. I aim to smell fresh and clean all the time. I shower twice a day (morning and evening) and brush like 5-7 times a day.

30. Depending on the day, maybe sandalwood or
"Angel" (lotion, and NOT "Angel for Men," no matter who you think you are) by Thierry Mugler. Just a dab each to temples and taint, please, and be about your business.

36. I wear various vanilla scents often
but I really like one from Bath and Body Works called Moonlight Path. It's a nice evening scent. For men, I absolutely LOVE Obsession by Calvin Kline. It's almost unbearably sexy to me.

58. Moonlight Path
Foaming handwash here.

But on other days, working outdoors as I love to do, there's no telling what pungent odors I might express.

I clean up good, though.

37. I'm allergic to commercial fragrances.
So I wear essential oils - Patchouli, Sandalwood, Amber, or Cinnamon in various combinations or alone. Never from The Body Shoppe - something in the way they process their oils sets off my allergies.

38. Mine is expensive, BUT
I've had the same bottle for over a year... goes really far. Jean Paul Gautier, pretty much ANYTHING, umm umm so delish. I actually have people who're near me say things sometimes, and people who hug me.
The mens scent makes my knees weak.

48. Reve Indien by Fragonard....
Took a tour of the perfume factory when in France, and bought this there. Also highly recommend Soleil.

Also... Hove in New Orleans has some AMAZING scents, and is a wonderful little shop.
