    I'm obsessed with perfume. In no particular order:

    Dior- Pure Poison (my signature scent apparently)
    Dior- J'Adore
    Anna Sui- Flight of Fancy (one of two "pulling perfumes"! Men love this :D)
    Anna Sui- Sui Love (really summery)
    Anna Sui- Secret Wish
    Ghost- Sweetheart (the other pulling perfume- really vanilla-y)
    Hugo- Pure Purple
    Police- Wings
    DKNY- Delicious Night
    Paco Rabanne- Black XS

    Can't wait until I start my new job, one of the orders of the day will be to treat myself to a new bottle of perfume! I also collect perfume bottles :D

    I currently wear Lush Go Green or Honey I Washed The Kids solid perfumes.

    Over the years I've also worn...
    Lush Karma
    Lush Ginger (it's discontinued now though :()
    Dolma White Musk (love it and would buy it again)
    Next Paradise (Estee Lauder Paradise smell-alike)
    Clarins' Eau Dynamisante
    Stella McCartney (a gift from an ex)
    Demeter Cappucino (this was utterly gorgeous but I've not seen it anywhere in ages)
    Body Shop White Musk, Dewberry, Activist(which was actually a mens' scent!) or Ananya were my High School scents, but I wouldn't buy from them again after the company was bought by L'oreal!
    Owing to financial constraints, the light at the end of the tunnel has been switched off until further notice. :(

    Illegitimi Non Carborundum!!!:cool:

    Mama read so much about the dangers of drinking alcohol and eating chocolate that she immediately gave up reading.

    My problem is that I never want to wear any scent which is highly fashionable and therefore instantly recognisable. I want my fragrance to be unique to me even though it's mass-produced. If I won the lottery I'd have a fragrance blended especially for me but as I haven't yet I wear the following:

    My sister has done it for friends as a gift, but you can do it for yourself. They create a fragrance depending on your likes and dislikes. It's not that expensive, either

    OMG...that's one of DD's perfumes :eek:

    I stick to Happy Heart. I've got a couple of bottles of Happy that I should alternate with, but I love Happy Heart so much. I've also got a small bottle of Vivienne Westwood's Boudoir that I occasionally wear in the evening.

    Just the one here- "First" by Van Cleef and Arples.

    I just love this but it is now getting very hard to find ( never was very easy) and I live in dread of it being discontinued.


    I still have a 'First' cake of soap with my son's baby teethmarks in it. He's now 25. :D

    Lol hopefully she wont go out with the sort of scoundrels that I do :rotfl: That and Ghost are the ones that when men hug me most often get the "oh you smell so good" thing. Which I love :D and use to justify massive spending on perfume!
