I wear perfume every day, and I work at home!!! I started wearing perfume in my teens and it is a type of aromatherapy for me.

I used to wear Red Door exclusively from about 89-91 or so. Then I switched to Chanel # 19. Then Coco Chanel - added that and wore #19 most of the time in the day and Coco for evenings out and more in the winter. Then I added Chanel Chance several years ago, and now wear Chance during the day. In the winter, I still like Coco and for evening, as well.

I wore Chanel # 5 in the 80s and associate it more with Spring. I still use it but more in the Spring and Summer during the day.

So I would suggest you consider Chanel Chance and Coco.

What is so fascinating is my dear son says that b/c I wore perfume from the time he was born, he strongly associates those perfumes w/ me. He can also identify those fragrances on other women and he says it always surprises others when he says "Ohhhhh - You are wearing Coco!!!" LOL!!!

I recently purchased Coco Mademoiselle, but couldn't smell it on me after a while.

My signature scent is Samsara by Guerlain, but...

got many compliments on Tova (only through QVC)...smells like you just always got out of the shower, but had fruity, musky, low notes.

I would like to try Eternity now, since that is DH's signature scent.

I was hesitant posting this, but I figured an opinion is not harmful. Princess by Vera Wang is a very nice scent. The vanilla top note instantly make you feel radiated and warm, and as you go on throughout the day, light flowery low notes begin to show through; such as lavender. It is a really sugary and warming scent that's feminine without screaming 'high-maintainance'. Good luck with everything!

The lightest, warmest, sweetest pefume I have ever smelled was Esencia de Duende by J. Del Pozo.

I love the way it smells and I'm a guy too if that helps!

My favorite is (and has been for a very long time) "Realities" by Liz Claiborne. It seems to go with my skin "chemistry" very well and when giving hugs to people I always hear , "You smell so great!"

Does anyone remember "Realm"? I wore it in college and it's a nice, warm, kind of spicy scent.
I have a silly question...what is the cologne that Jon Bon Jovi is the poster boy for? I want to go smell that one to see if I like it enough to give it to my husband for Valentine's day.
