I make my own - nag champa fragrance oil (diluted with jojoba oil) mixed with amber body spray. Have to shake the bottle before using, but it's unique and everyone associates it with me. I'm thinking of adding a bit of rose oil to it sometime.

I miss Mary Kay's Velocity, but I think if I smelled it now it'll bring back memories of my marriage. Perfumes remind me of the circumstances I wore them in.

I am very picky about scants and don't like most perfumes. It seems like a lot of people I know like to put on a whole bench of strong perfume and I don't like it at all. In most cases I think the person's natural scent smells better than the perfume or cologne.

I completely understand this. After my recent split, almost all my perfume reminded me of him...so I went back to wearing Tommy Girl and Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Woman - they're what I wore in HS and while I don't love them at the moment, they bring me back to a safer place.

My favorite, and the one I'd wear daily if I could handle it right now though, is Ma Dame by Gaultier.

I love to use oils from Saje or Lush or other places. I'm not really into perfume. I do enjoy my husband to wear cologne or something nice though, especially on date nights.

That's one of my favorites too. And it smells fantastic layered with Mary Kay's Thinking of You perfume, which smells great all on its own as well.

One of my favorites is Fire & Ice, and that seems to have been discontinued a number of years ago. My mom managed to find some for me, but I moved and couldn't find the bottles after I did.

I don't like perfumes. I only use cologne ... it's not floral smelling. Too many females wear perfumes that clash with their skin and it makes them smell like old ladies.

My husband and I are extremely sensitive to scent and frequently suffer from headaches due to fragrance over-do. That said we both have a cologne we wear. He wears BVLGARI Green and I wear BVLGARI (gold). Those are the only scents that don't bother us. And the best part is, I don't think hardly anyone wears them but us. I have never smelled either on anyone else.

A friend of mine sprayed it on her once and I did notice the smell changed significantly on her though.

I personally don't like artificial scents. I'll maybe make an exception for earthy more natural smelling types of perfumes/colognes. Though I don't particularly like it when people wear it. I don't like standing next to someone and choking on the scent of their perfume. Even if I like the scent, the fact that I can smell it when they are standing 10 feet away annoys me. That's just my opinion though.

I love it when used in moderation. For me I like Aqua di Gio. On him, Nautica (or just his body wash!) I love man smell

I'm kind of picky...There are a lot I think smell good but I'm really picky what I buy because I don't buy often. I ened up buying some bath and body workds stuff online on sale. While it is good,It's not my favorite. I have twilight woods perfum and exotic coconut body spray. My boyfriend likes coconut alot so I like to keep a coconut smelling spray or perfum around. I have exotic coconut body spray...It's ok but I will probly buy something else in the future. Twilight woods perfum is pretty good...but I will buying something else...I'd love to have 20 diffrent persumes like some peole like to collect them. I shoudln't blow my money on that stuff so I keep 1 or 2 around...Maybe I will buy some more sometimes soon. I'd like something diffrent to try like a strawberry citrus or some of the celebrity perfums I'd like to get a sample...

For perfumes, I like fruity or light scents, in small amounts. I've got Black Raspberry Vanilla from B&B Works, and I love it. But any perfume can be bad if it's too strong or there's too much of it. One or two spritzes is usually enough.

I'm not crazy about cologne in general. It's usually too strong. (Axe = Awful!) I might make exceptions, but on the whole I just don't like it.

My idea of wearing perfume is your partner should not be able to smell it unless he is within your personal space and within inches of your skin.

My favourite perfume is "In Love Again" Passion Perfume For Women by Yves Saint Laurent.

As far as cologne, I love Calvin Klein's CK1. My brother used to wear it all the time and I wear it now.

I have migraines so I am extremely picky. There are only 2 perfumes I will wear and it's my nollie and scent of eros for women. They both are sooo amazing! I love them. They're both fairly light, but on migraine days, I can't even wear them. For my partner, we have yet to find a good cologne that isn't too strong besides one of hollister's for men.

Right now, I usually wear Miss Dior Cherie--it's light and feminine. I'm also partial to Kate Spade Twirl and Coach Poppy.
