Perfume Recommendations - Looking for a perfume that smells like...

[pucci_mama]

Another fragrance w/a coffee note is Black Vetyver Café by Jo Malone. I love it & I know men wear it also...I love all Jo Malone's fragrances

Here's the description...

Yes, I love that one..smells like espresso... yum...I bought it for a male friend...

everyone's addicted to coffee frags now, eh?

it's like an epidemic here. hehe

 

[seanutbutter]

seanut, have you gotten a chance to try any of the coffee fragrances?

I'm embarrassed to say I haven't! I don't even think I've visited a Nordstrom in the past two months (not the perfume counter, at least), but hopefully I'll make a trip soon. If not, methinks there is enough coffee here at my house to create my own fragrance.

 

[seanutbutter]

I went to Nordstrom yesterday and didn't see any of the coffee fragrances mentioned here. The selection of the particular location I visited was scarce, but I was still surprised that they didn't carry at least one.

Guess I better fetch my coffee pot - I hear if one drinks enough, they'll begin to smell of it.

I got a chance to take a sniff at A*Men Pure Coffee two days ago, and it smells delicious! (in a gourmand way, so if you don't like Angel/A*Men I don't think you would like it) It is limited edition so I think I should stock up before it's gone.

^seanutbutter: I tried DKNY Be Delicious For Men the other day, it smells like coffee beans in the beginning, and since DKNY perfumes are more commonplace, maybe you can give it a try. It is fresh-y though, if you like that.

My favourite at the moment is Aqua Allegoria Anisia Bella Perfume By Guerlain .. it has a hint of anise (if thats what its called) very summery fragrance

 

[Navygreen]

I need a signature scent.
I have to choose among 3

Alien by Thierry Mugler
Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel
A Lolita Lempicka one

Which one is more fitting for a possessive, nagging, feisty, awkward and angelic-looking Cancerian like me?

 

[madrid_qon]

I'm a cancerian and i wear Alien, it suits. I always get men say MMM you smell nice.

I need a nightime perfume that says, Sex panther 3000 any recommendations?

 

[Navygreen]

Hmm..

Guerlain - Shalimar/Samsara/Spiritueuse Double Vanille/Djedi [if you like sth leathery]
Bandit
Cartier - Le Baiser Du Dragon
Kenzo - Jungle L'Elephant
Cacharel - LouLou
Chanel - Coco Mademoiselle
Dior - Dior Addict
Dana - Tabu [cheapo but effective]
Aftelier - Tango
Frederic Malle - Noir Epices
Joop! Femme


I'm a Floral-Vanilla and Oriental-Woody [olfactory group] girl though.
Most guys prefer musk and vanilla.

Can anyone suggest any predominantly patchouli perfumes, as I just adore the scent of it? I like pretty heavy perfumes - the two I mostly wear are YSL Opium & Armani Code.

Prada by Prada, that's patchouli heavy. Or you can browse Luckyscent: many brands has a scent that focuses on patch.

Lush "Karma" (at Lush stores)

Nemat Patchouli oil (at Whole Foods) This is some strong stuff, so try it first!

 

[Feline]

Thank you all for your suggestions - looking forward to trying them out & see which I like best

 

[Navygreen]

Can anyone recommend me a classic summer scent? I am not a fan of aquatics or chypres though.

 

[tangerine]

How about Guerlain Apres l'Ondee? Violets, iris, heliotrope and musk, among other ingredients.

 

[fashionista-ta]

^ Sounds great ... I love heliotrope.

 

[oiselet]

I'm looking for a light floral scent. Something I can wear on the subway without feeling like a pompous a**.

 

[andersson]

I doubt anyone can help me since I cannot give a proper description, but I'm looking for something that's kind of dark, oriental and heavy but not too dark, oriental and heavy - it should be easy wearable and include a certain freshness as well.

Something lika a mixture of Black Orchid and Boss Bottled maybe? I should kidnap some perfumer to make him create it.

 

[helen-rox]

Does anyone know of a light smelling perfume, something fruity and sweet and maybe something with coconut and vanilla...an exotic kind of (SOFT) smell
