Re: Unscientific Perfume Poll

It's funny, the scents that last the longest are the ones I try and can't stand.

I forgot to add to my post that I wear fragrance for myself and DH. Anyone else who gets close enough to smell me is in my personal space and way too near me.


hah! Good point 😬

Currently, I mix two Tom Ford scents. One of them is discontinued so that's how I am making it last. They are both skin scents.

 

I used to like several of the By Killian scents, but everyone wears them, and I don't like to smell myself everywhere. Prelude was lovely, as was Love.

 

I don't like the perfumy, perfumes that are big bombs. I also can't be around the vanilla gourmands, or any gourmands, which is too bad because along with sweet fragrances, gourmands are really hot now.

Re: Unscientific Perfume Poll

I'll have to comment on more recent fragrances.  Seems anything from Kayali lasts all of (my) day.  IOW, as long as I need it to since I'm not working all day and basically out,at the most, 4 hours.  Occasionally I'm in the city for a full day and they will tend to fade away on those occasions.  My Commodity fragrances last as long as I need them too as well...Milk, Gold and Velvet.  I remember Light Blue lasting all day but I don't recall about the other fragrances in the 80s and 90s.

Re: Unscientific Perfume Poll

I can't say that I'm offended by anyone's fragrance. Absolutely there is some love and like better than others but I can't say that one has ever offended me to the point where I had to leave the area. And nothing is better than a good smelling man! I wish more people would wear fragrance. I enjoy it on others but it seems like people don't wear perfume as much as they used to.

Re: Unscientific Perfume Poll

For me, I've found not much has any lasting fragrance. 

Two I remember that lasted, but i don't want anymore are Tresor, and Cashmere ...I still have one NO 1 from M.Asam, and that lasts too...but I'm not liking anything lately, so im just using Moonlight Path from Bath n body...it doesn't last either, but I like the fresh soft musk initial spritz.   Wish I could find a beautiful musk perfume that lasts.  Kuumba oils do last, but lately I just want a perfume.   May take mom to the mall to sniff around.

One of my favorites and one that lasts fairly well on me is Oscar de la Renta. I seldom wear my Chanel #5, although I like it, sometimes it seems too heavy scent-wise. Pleasures by Estee Lauder is a nice light fragrance, and a new one by her is Beautiful Magnolia - I love her fragrances and enjoy wearing them. Just one spritz of any perfume is all I use. I can't imagine anyone wanting to have perfume banned in restaurants and offices...!!

Tova Signature is a lovely musky scent with good staying power. I wear it often. Have it on right now.
