If you like it, enjoy. It's not for me. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Did I say that there was something wrong?

When I was in Junior High I had a French girlfriend. She use to use "Fa" deodorant and soap. It smelled so good. Back them it was green and smelled like lime. I'm not sure if it the same anymore but this was the company.






I like light scents but have trouble finding ones that linger. I have been wearing Versace's Versense which is light and also Pleasures by Estee Lauder is nice.


I haven't used highly scented creams in a long time.

Yes, by telling us that we should just apply less.

I think you misunderstand what we're saying. It's not the quantity of the scent, it's the quality. Applying less doesn't resolve the fact that it's too heavy on the sweetness or the citrus or whatever prevalent scent it is. Like when you eat a dessert and it's too rich ... these scents are too rich. Applying less doesn't help.

That's fine and that is your opinion but don't put someone down because they like the scent. That is rude, IMO.

Apparently a lot of women like the scents of B&BW and don't have issues since there are so many stores and scents.

Just like you look nice because of the outfit you're wearing.

There's nothing wrong with complementing the person.

How is it a complement to the person?

You have good taste in body wash?

What's wrong with that? Yes, it's a compliment. People like being told that they've made good choices.

Lol! Really? I wasn't telling anyone anything, jeez. I was (as I have since I posted in this topic) talking about myself personally. I have not told anyone to do anything. I think you are the one who misunderstood. And I'm done with this. You don't like b&bw scents, I do. The earth continues to rotate on its axis.

Funny you should ask. I haven't worn it in many years, but at one time I was addicted to Trish McEvoy #9. I was just thinking about seeing if it's still around because it's winter, and I'm craving a good body lotion.
