Can you give one or two words that captures the mood of your favorite fragrance?

Always searching....!

Oh! And the name, too!

Still searching, but I prefer warm and sensual - no florals for me.

For summer, it's fresh and citrusy. My fav is DKNY New York Women.

For winter, it's warm and vanilla-y. I love Burberry Classic.

I'm a big fan of Guerlain perfumes. Samsara, Shalimar and L'Instant are on the top of my favorites list. To me these are sensual, mysterious and inviting.

@Harpa, Captivating. Jo Malone's Blackberry and Bay. I spray it on and keep smelling it on my wrist. It's a fruity fragrance according to Malone's chart. It's not really sweet but quite different.

I use Marc Jacobs Daisy, Eau So Fresh. It is light and smells, well, fresh! It seems to last a long time for me, and the cute daisies on the bottle cap don't hurt either! :-)

@marmarbrooklyn If you don't mind, where do you buy your fragrance? I love Lily of the Valley scent.

@SilleeMee Shalimar is another classic I love. I am out of that right now, but it will be on my list of things to replace.

@Harpa, I'm always searching too. I tend to go for foodie scents, I enjoy vanilla, chocolate, and caramel based ones. Lately I have amassed many fragrances in the rollerball size. I feel I'm not spending too much money on it and may love it and buy in a larger size. I buy a lot from Sephora, they give good description of the fragrances, I take a leap of faith buying them without smelling them!

I loved a Demeter fragrance called "Frozen Pond". It was clean and fresh smelling. Thanks for reminding me of it.

Good evening @Leeny

I ordered my Pinrose directly from their website, but QVC actually carries Pinrose , they have been on a few times, I didn't see the show , but received emails from PInrose about them. Sephora also sells Pinrose. I also have a small sample set which I purchased from Sephora which includes Wild Child ( Gardenia) and Merry Maker (Nectarine, Grapefruit) . I originally tried the brand because they are cruelty free , but then fell in love with the fragrances.They have verry reasonable sample sets called Petal Packs (little wipes in foil packs of the differents scents.)

I love perfumes and have a huge collection but a lot of them are startint to give me headaches and sniffles and eye watering.

Lately I have switched to wearing the body sprays. They don't last as long but they don't bother me!

Two I am really liking right now are Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden. I don't know what the notes are --- not good at this. But it's very light and nice for summer.

The other one is White. I forget who makes this one. MIght be Bill Blass, but not sure. It is a little heavier than Green Tea but is a happy scent.

For summer I am partial to scents that have lily of the valley. Happy by Clinique is a good one. It does just what the name says --- makes me feel happy!

I am a Guerlain woman and love and wear many of them. But my absolute favorite is Chamade. It is womanly, complex, and beautiful. It is a gorgeous, cultivated bouquet resting on a woody and ambery base. It reminds me of being in an elegant English manor house with the windows open to receive the delightful scent coming from the garden. I wear it Spring and Summer.

Lightweight and summery.

Fragrances have to be that year round for me. I just tossed out a Nest Black Tulip rollerball as it had started to be unappealing to me. I don't know what it was but after it dried on my skin, the scent was too heavy on me.

I do like Nest Paradise very much though.

I've been wearing cheap stuff lately, but I have to say that I love Hypnotic Poison (Dior). It's the kind of fragrance that draws people in. When I smell it, I detect vanilla, almond and lilac notes most prominently. It's not a fragrance that bashes you over the head. I always got compliments when I wore it. It's not too sweet and not too flowery, but delicious and feminine.

I would describe it as sexy and alluring, but also comforting.
