...Cryptic:"Alien" is completely unwearable IMHO. I got a bottle from my husband as a gift, and I spray it out the bathroom window once in a while to make the level go down. :oops:Haha - that is so funny Cryptic! I am thinking of doing that with the small bottle of Aqua di Gio my husband has. I just hate the smell of that stuff!

...I wish I liked Hermes, but everything smells very masculine to my nose - I have owned a few and have ended up swapping them away. Recently I tried Sur le Toit, Sur le Nil, and En Mediterranee… just too masculine smelling on me. I like some of the men's line on men though…. :D

...I've gotten quite a few compliments on M. Micallef Patchouli and Caron Delire d' Rose. My friend told me the M. Micallef Patch smelled "beautiful". Mostly though the compliments come from Boucheron's Trouble, and Bvlgari Pour Femme.

...There's always Pacifica's Lilac. It's a soliflore, and a very true lilac smell.

...Miller Harris' L'Air de Rien - delightfully skanky :wink:

...Scents smell so different on everyone. I love the smell of Oud Ispahan, but cannot wear it. On the other hand my husband can rock it and it smells totally different and wonderful on him. Wear what you love!

...I started thinking about this over the summer - and got a little worried about a couple of them because I really love them. Here are my discontinueds:Nina Ricci, Liberty Fizz (i bought back-ups!)Boucheron's Trouble (more back-ups)Dior's Poison TendreThe Body Shop Midnight BakulaAvon EarthAvon ExtraordinaryGuerlain's Terracotta Voile de EteI heard Badgley Mischka/Badgley M was discontinuedAlso heard Bvlgari Black discontinuedAnd I heard that Nicolai discontinued Le Temps de un Fete (not positive on that one though)

...Favorite rose: Caron's Delire d RoseGreat inexpensive rose: Lanvin Rumeur 2 Rose - rose with light green notes. Nice for summer.

...Calvin Klein Euphoria EDT - This is a pretty soft and sexy scent. Highly under-rated and is a compliment getter with the touch of champaca in it. Good for the office as it's not heavy handed in the flowers nor is it a sillage monster, but it does linger softly on the skin for hours.Pamela Anderson's Malibu Nights - Champaca, cacao and a titch of salt. The pomegranate in it gives a bit of tartness. I love this perfume a lot. Another under-rated inexpensive scent that's worthy of a test for sure. I wear it year round - reminds me a lot of the beach.24 Gold ScentStory - This is a oud I like because it's light enough not to over power the wonderful amber and vanilla in this little masterpiece. There's a bit of powder in the dry-down, but not so powdery that men would hate it. Definitely unisex. Definitely wonderful.Great price.I have to add Bvlgari Black. Just love this stuff. Such an interesting scent for an amazing price. It smells better on my husband than me. The vanilla and tea really blossom on his warmer skin.

...I will add to your list...Tommy Bahama, Set Sail St. Bart for men: I think this one is a hidden gem because it smells delish on the men I know that wear it! It transports me to the sea every time I smell it. A nice salty lime- very refreshing.Tim McGraw Southern Blend: This one is surprisingly good. Like whiskey lite with a nice sweet tobacco added in. Not particularly long lasting, but for the price point you could definitely spray later in the day and not break the bank.Antonio Banderas The Golden Secret: This is shockingly nice! A soft spicy leather scent. Perfect really for everyday since it's not cloyingly heavy like some spicy scents are. It gets compared to 1 million a lot, but personally I don't get the connection at all. 1 million is too heavy and in your face - this is not.

...I really love champaca flowers, but in Champaca Absolute they seem trampled to death by the heaviness of the orchids. I do wear this, but VERY sparingly. It's definitely a heavy hitter and I'm glad I didn't go ahead and buy a FB. My mini will last me a very long time.

...Bvlgari Blackand Dior's Oud Ispahan

...It has to be Boucheron's Trouble. Just love that stuff!

...I can't find a similar topic, so I hope this isn't a repeat...What are your favorite Jeanne Arthes scents and why? Tell me what you like about them. I'm just exploring this house a bit and there are so many... Thank You. :D

...Adding in Bvlgari Black, too. I own it but it smells much better on husband. It's quite sexy on his skin.

...You are welcome, Optimist.Husband has some of these or at least samples of them. Thinking of buying him a fb of Chergui for Christmas - it smells so fabulous on him. Silk & Jasmine, too.

...I'm enjoying the change-over to fall. These scents are getting pulled out and worn lately:Rocher's Voile d' Ambre7 Billion HeartsM. Micallef PatchouliMidnight BakulaFan di Fendi ExtremeYSL Cinema24 Gold Scent Story

...I think Serge Lutens' Chergui is seductive. Also Armani Eau Pour Homme, Hugo Boss' Silk & Jasmine, and Guerlain Homme L'eau.Also adding Ambre Precieux...

...I've been on a music documentary kick - the latest two were Bela Fleck's Throw Down Your Heart - really wonderful music as he moved around Africa playing in different areas of the country. The other one was Disraeli Gears - all about Cream and it's beginning and influences in their music. Both highly recommended.

...I've been a member here for awhile and at Frag. too as smile4thecamera. There are things I love about this site very much, and things I love about Fragrantica as well. What I don't love about F is double standard that exists there. I grew tired of seeing panty dropper threads, cock shots, and old lady perfume threads. And yet, the idea of someone posting what do lesbians like to smell on other lesbians was suddenly taboo? I don't get it. There was nothing sexual about the thread and it was a very tame and tasteful besides. A second very tame/tasteful thread was also deleted. People started complaining and it took management forever to respond, which in the end sounded like bigoted BS to me.
