I know many of us use Marilyns fragrances paricularly Pheremone. The fresh scent i inoxicaing for Spring. I am reminded of Marilyns story of men walking into street lamps compleely intoxicaed by its allure.

I don't know about men walking into lamp poles but this fragrance has been around for a long,long time. I believe I used this in my senior year in H.S. or 1st year in college. I have moved on.

OK. I'm missing something very alluring here. Are these still sold? Why are they so enticing? Are they musk based? Would love to know more.

I wore MM Pheromone back in the day. She's been on HSN a long time. It is a very strong fragrance, and like another poster said I moved on.

Pheromone by Marilyn Miglin is a Chypre Floral fragrance for women. Pheromone was launched in 1978.

Top notes; green notes, spices, rosemary, lotus, palm leaf and mint;

middle notes: jasmine, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, iris and rose

base notes : woodsy notes, vodka, sandalwood, patchouli and oakmoss.

The fragrance is still on HSN but sadly HSN is disrespecting Marilyn and not airing her products as often. Best to search for it on HSN and order it online.

FYI: The Pheromone scent she once brought out (and many may remember from the late 70's, 80's and 90's) is not the scent of Phermone today due to changes in laws across the world on musk and other ingredients used in fragrances. I have a bottle of the pure parfum from the late 90's (just before the laws changed) and ordered a new small one from her company. The new scent smells different the moment you open it up and was awful on my skin compared to the older version which is smooth, warm and very sensual.

I returned the new bottle back to her company.

To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised she shuts the doors on it. Shame but as others have mentioned, time goes on.

Marilyn was always such a lovely and gracious lady. I remember being heartbroken for her when her husband was murdered.
I did wear Pheromone for years and I will say

1- you had to try it on and wear it as it was truly different on the body than in the bottle. I know this is true with any fragrance but with this fragrance it was very unique.

2- I will admit I lost count of how many people, strangers included that would stop and ask me about my 'lovely fragrance'. It was a joke with my friends , they would try to guess how many people would stop and ask me about my perfume before an outing or event because they knew it was inevitable. LOL

I used to wear it all the time and love it. I don't wear perfume anymore but I bought this back in the day. I visited Chicago in the 90s and she had a store there but it was closed that day, darn it.

It is pretty strong but I got lots of compliments when I wore it, men loved it.

Sadly I read that her boutique in Chicago has now closed and her warehouse is in a sketchy section of Chicago. Tova lost her salon also. So sad that these powerful and elegant women are no longer able to live their dream.

I wear fragrance on special occasions and very lightly. This thread makes me want to order her set of small sample bottles. I'm 63 years old and try to keep up with whats what but I love all things that are femenine.

I never bought her fragrances, but loved her presentations. She was always so gracious, feminine and passionate about her products. Just a pleasure to watch.

Have not seen her in years.

Back when I wore fragrance, I loved Chanel No. 19, Elizabeth Arden's Blue Grass, Estee Lauder Private Collection, and Dior's Diroissimo and Miss Dior.

I'm sure all of them would give me a headache now

When I was young and just starting my career, I worked in the fashion industry. It was a must to have a "signature scent." Glory days for sure!

At 35, I started having migraines and never wore fragrance again. Sometimes, I miss it.

@Witchy Woman have you tried a single essential oil such as bergamot ? lovely in the summer time, Frankinsence also is very nice but can be polarizing.

@Reever

I've tried a lot of things in between, and normally, it's been a one time purchase.

In the summer, I might spritz something very light in lemon scent or coconut lime. Sadly, the dry down on many things is nothing like the original scent.

I get queasy very easily, so it's best I just stay away.
