Live Lounge Month 2024

I don't like perfume very much, as most make my eyes and nose run most unattractively.

For that reason I'd love it if everyone remembered the old fashioned rule that you should only be able to detect someone's perfume when you're close enough to kiss them - especially in the workplace. Remembering not to bathe in a gallon of perfume I mean, not that we should all be getting near enough to kiss

Have to say though, despite the political incorrectness of it, I do like a whiff of tobacco smoke on someone as it reminds me of laughing and playing games with my older relatives (such as grandparents, aunts and uncles) when I was little. Smells can have such strong associations, can't they?

[Behelzebub]

I've got the Gwen Stefani perfume (L.A.M.B.), it's actually a really nice smell. I don't tend to wear perfume that much unless it's a special occasion, I normally just wear bodysprays. The only other perfume I wear is Anais Anais which I've loved the smell of ever since I was little when I used to try on my mum's perfumes, haha.

Have used these two for years although Vera Wang aftershave is pretty good as well.

That's the bottle I'm on about, the blue Hugo Boss. 'Tis good stuff.

[KingTutsWWH]

Ah, now I see the bottle... Yeah, I like that Hugo Boss - a friend in Spain wears it.

Agree with Gill, hate it when people drench themselves in fragrances. It can put you right off your food in a restaurant, just as much as someone smoking all over you. I wholeheartedly approve of the smoking ban in restaurants, even though I do smoke a little myself (sorry:()

This has been interesting - lots of new advice - thanks everyone. Happy and Be Delicious are lovely for summer, but I now wanna test out Armani Code.

Ahh I'm not the only one then! I've followed cars on the motorway on my bike that you can smell the perfume coming out of, I hate to think what it must be like inside.

I always read that as something completely different first time round.

[suzie_j7]

I wear Stunning by Katie Price. It's really girly.

I also really love Hugo Deep Red.

Stay away from Stacey. She stinks of BO and will faint if you go near her :shock:

[Chaos]

I just use Lynx Vice, at the moment. I do have a couple of addidas and umbro ones, but I never use those.

Nor do I use aftershave (except on a few special occasions), though I got a couple of bottles of that too..

She will faint if we go near her?, why?, I presume you mean we would faint if we went near her

[Jono]

I quite liked that Scott's driver thought he smelt of Vapour Rub this morning.

[Eyl9]

I mainly use Ted Baker woman at the moment, or flower by kenzo.

I bought my Mum the new Kylie Minogue one and wanted to keep it for myself it was lovely! haha

[Kitai]

I don't have a particular brand that I favour. I like fruitie smells really.

[KingTutsWWH]

Thread revival alert. Just received my IOU Christmas pressie of Agent Provocateur perfume. Mmmm, 'tis lovely stuff. I smell great. Only problem is Boyf has a cold, so he cannot appreciate it for the moment.

Interesting, just noticed from the Christmas gifts thread that Kirsty smells the same as me.

[MissCorsham]

I have Christina Agulaira which is really nice, Hugo Deep Red and Vera Wang Princess. They are all really pretty smelling

[DarkAngelMJH]

I have Armani code, Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue, Gucci Rush 2, Gucci Envy 2, CK1, DKNY Be Delicious (red & green), Tommy Girl & Ghost Summer. Plus the always handy use of my sisters stuff!

[Nik B.]

Lynx and thats it. and to any one who disapproves cos it smells nice

And yes I did see the first post in the topic, but I'mma rebel

[Emma]

Coco Chanel Mademoselle (sp?) is verrrrry nice too

[Grace]

Looove Coco Mademoiselle, although it is unfortunately slightly out of my price range. My new favourite is Sui Dreams by Anna Sui, it's probably the nicest thing I've ever smelled.
