ApriBambino says "mark Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent is Zesty and Sweet." about mark mark Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent

mark Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent

I love the scent of lemon in all its forms, especially as a body fragrance. I received mark's Self Sanctuary Lemon Sugar Scent as a sample, from the first minute I tried it I wanted more.

mark, part of the Avon company, has a body fragrance line called Self Sanctuary where the products are based on bold fruity and floral notes like berry, chocolate, lime, orchid, jasmine and lemon. The line includes a Scent Mist, a deeply hydrating Body Butter, a pearly Shower Wash and a light Moisture Milk.

They've managed to get the sweet and tart balance just right as Lemon Sugar is both juicy & zesty and softly sweet at the same time. I find the scent lasts longest when layered, Beginning with the deliciously pearly Shower Wash. It makes an abundance of lemony lather that helps gently cleanse, soften and scent skin. Follow with either the super ultra rich Body Butter or the light moisture Milk. Either will do a good job of adding moisture to the skin while...

Megs22 says "My favorite fragrance for years!" about Victoria's Secret love spell

Megs22 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:53:19 GMT

I have been wearing Victoria's Secret Love Spell fragrance for years! I use all of the product line, the body wash, lotion, and spray... they even have a shampoo that leaves your hair smelling amazing! I get so many compliments on this fragrance, I don't think I've ever found anyone who didn't like it. I am allergic to many perfumes and sprays, but this one is light and clean and has never bothered me at all. It is a fruity scent, and like I said, very light, but it lasts all day. The spray is a good value for the money, and is my very favorite.

Susie-34668 says "Estee Super Cologne has been my only perfume in 40 years" about Estee Lauder Estee Super Cologne Spray

Susie-34668 — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 18:43:03 GMT

Estee Lauder's, Estee has been around since I can remember, I was given this product for my 21st birthday, which is over 40 years ago, and to this day, this is the perfume I love.

It comes in a 1.85 fl. oz. spray bottle, and is clear at the bottom, and has a silver colored spray top. The cap is also silver.

The perfume is a light floral fragrance, and not all at overpowering. I spray once on my neck, and then put both the insides of my wrists up to my neck. This is the perfect amount to last me all day, and all evening. There is nothing worse than being next to someone who has sprayed perfume several times.

Over the years I can't tell you how many people have stopped me to ask what perfume I wear, or to say how lovely it is. Even strangers.

I purchase my Estee Super Cologne Spray for around $30 - $32, and only when Dillard's or Macy's have a promotion, where I get several sample products for free.

Sometimes they are out of the cologne and I end up getting the perfume, which...

CherylBarrel says "Sarah Jessica Parker's fragrance is the one to wear!" about Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely Eau de Parfum Spray

CherylBarrel — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:12:02 GMT

Television's "Sex and the City" star Sarah Jessica Parker's eau de parfum spray "Lovely" is my latest favorite fragrance. I love the beautifully shaped bottle, which looks so elegant on my dresser. A little spritz goes a long way in regards to the scent. I have been asked numerous times, "What perfume are you wearing?" A few of my favorite scents in the world are part of this parfum composition which includes lavender, orchid, and musk. Those fragrances make me think of relaxation, love, as well as seduction. So, it is a parfum that can work for many different occasions. I highly recommend this little gem for your favorite girls at Christmas time. The box that it comes in is a charming pink and is just enough packaging to hold the perfume, therefore, no space is wasted in packaging. More environmentally friendly that way. You can also buy a lotion and body gel in the same fragrance. On the negative side, I found that the scent does not last as long as I would...

sajastand says "worth every penny" about Clinique Happy Perfume

sajastand — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 03:06:36 GMT

I fell in love with the smell of this perfume while walking through the local perfume counter at the mall, I loved it so much that I went back the next day and bought a bottle. The smell is clean, not overpowering and is a wonderful fragrance. I get comments all the time about how good I smell and I think it's worth every penny. I would highly recommend this as a gift to a loved one or yourself. Since it's a bit spendy there are smaller bottles that would work as well without breaking the bank.

jakilde says "I feel a little sexy every time I put it on. " about Bath and Body Works Sensual Amber Perfume

jakilde — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:04:35 GMT

I absolutely love any Bath and Body works product. The lotions for nice and thick and coat your skin instead of other watery stuff that you have to rub for an hour and seem to have to let dry. The smells are fantastic as well. When I want to wear something that makes me feel sexy without having to spend an arm and a leg, I go to this perfume. I think there is nothing that smells more romantic than this brand. It has such a different scent than the usual fruity or all florally smells. It makes me feel like a true desired woman when I have it on. Definitely not too overpowering and infact I would call it alluring. I also purchased to body wash, lotion and body spray. My husband loves the smell. I feel this is a product I will always wear, as long as they keep making it. I always request it for christmas or birthdays. I think every woman should use it. It would make then stand out for sure. Great smell and a great price and would be a great gift for any lady.

laurenwesty says "Juicy perfume is a sure-fire gift to please anyone!" about Juicy Couture Perfume

laurenwesty — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:51:34 GMT

Every once in a while I find myself in a dilemma. For one occasion or another, be it 21st birthday, college graduation, holidays--or WHATEVER else--I need to get a great gift for a good friend. What do I turn to? Juicy Couture perfume! Now, I don't just hand these out to anybody. A Juicy Couture perfume gift warrants a very good friend with a fitting occasion who is worth the fairly pricey cost.

Juicy Couture perfume--or anything else in the Juicy Couture brand for that matter--may not be the cheepest item to throw your cash down on, but man oh man you sure get what you pay for! From the beautiful perfume jar that rests on my bathroom counter like an elegant glass statue to the fresh, luscious fragrance that rushes in clouds to caress my neck...

sounds ridiculous? Sounds like I'm exaggerating?

I'm not, it's seriously that great! Perfume, most of the time, is so subjective and doesn't make the greatest gifts because while some may love the scent, others may hate it! With Juicy perfume I...

nicrev says "Sexy smell" about Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy Perfume

nicrev — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:33:18 GMT

I must admit that at first I was very skeptical about this perfume because it is created by and marketed by Britney Spears. I have to say that I am certainly not a big fan of hers, but her perfume smells great. Britney Spears Midnight Fantasy perfume, created and sold by cosmetic company Elizabeth Arden, is a delight to wear.

This scent is definitely for a younger crowd. I would suggest it most for women under 25 years old. The scent is young and hip and it lasts a decent amount of time. I think that it smells fruity at first, which makes the scent fun, but as the scent develops it turns more sophisticated, but sexy still at the same time. This can be worn day or night, but it probably is better for the night. I have gotten many comments from people wondering what scent I am wearing.

The bottle is also very fun. It has pretty jewels on it and it is a very pretty purple color, meaning that it looks nice sitting on your dresser. It is also very easy to spray on - as long...

Bryan-Carey says "Brut Keeps You Dry, but Stretches the Truth" about Brut Antiperspirant Deodorant

Bryan-Carey — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 05:49:01 GMT

Deodorant is a universal need and it’s a product that takes on several different forms. Some people prefer gels. Other people prefer stick. There are even some who would like to turn back the hands of time to the day when spray was popular. My personal preference is gel, but I will sample other forms when the opportunity is right. One stick deodorant I tried recently is Brut Anti- Perspirant Deodorant, a deodorant with the familiar brut scent.

Deodorant Commentary:

Brut Anti- Perspirant Deodorant is a white colored, stick- style deodorant with a scent that offers the smell of brut- just like the aftershave, only a little milder. The product offers both odor protection and wetness protection and it utilizes its special ingredient Trimax, which helps keep you dry and odor- free. The formula is powerful enough to keep you free from odor and wetness for a full twenty- four hours.

Like I said above, my deodorant preference is gel, but much like any consumer good, I am always game to...

PattyTherre says "It's a Miracle that I like this pink frilly, girly scent!" about Lancome Miracle EDP Perfume Spray

PattyTherre — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:40:17 GMT

Quick View: I am not a fan of floral fragrances and shun most classic scents. However, after trying Lancome Miracle EDP Perfume Spray, which was given to me as a gift by a friend, I realize that a little bit of a frilly scent can work for me. This is a sexy, very feminine scent that I like for a nice change of pace.

My Take on Lancome Miracle EDP Perfume Spray

My review entitled My Top Fragrances: Fresh, Clean, and Sexy! really says it all about my preferences. I don't like florals and I prefer fresh, clean, or citrus scents. When I was sent a 1.7 ounce bottle of Miracle, I didn't even like that the box was pink. That, to me, seemed like the scent would be very floral and maybe even a rose scent. I like roses but hate wearing their scent on me.

I was mistaken though. Lancome Miracle EDP Perfume Spray really doesn't have a marked floral scent. More, it smells sweet and feminine. It's definitely a girly scent but not at all classic or overwhelming. It's hard to describe the actual scent...

animallover216 says "Makes me want to nap all day everyday!" about Bath and Body Works Lavender Vanilla Tranquil Pillow Mist

animallover216 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 04:17:16 GMT

I was given this product as a gift from one of my best friends- it came in a set. I was sceptical to try it at first, because I wasn't sure if it would be too strong and give me a headache instead of helping me fall asleep. But I have a lot of trouble sleeping most days, so I gave it a go. Boy, was I wrong! This mist is absolutely amazing. I started using it while I was away at college, and the smell definitely calmed me and put me at ease so I could have actually have a full night's sleep. There is always room for more improvement in my life where sleeping is involved, and this definitely did the trick. I used it everyday, and I brought it back home with me during the summers to use as well. As soon as I am out, I run right back to B+BW to get a new bottle. I even got some of my family hooked on it - my dad actually stole my original bottle, and I had to get another one! A lot of other methods I've tried in the past have not helped me get to sleep at all. It's definitely a product I...

dbm82 says "I don't get it!" about Jo Malone Lime Basil and Mandarin Cologne

dbm82 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:47:15 GMT

Lime Basil and Mandarin, to my understanding, is the scent that launched the Jo Malone line, the one she first gave as a gift to her closest friends. Knowing this, I was eager to try it out. I had read it was unique, unisex and modern.

On my skin, it was, well...merely unique. I am a woman and this scent smelled downright masculine on me. Very woodsy and herby with a sharp citrus at the top. I found it very strong and headache-inducing (although many scents have this effect on me). I passed it on to my boyfriend and oddly enough it smelled a bit more feminine on him. This may be a case of the person's body chemistry figuring heavily into the smell because it was entirely different on him, warmer and lacking the sharp citrus. Still, it was clearly for neither of us. This is definitely one to try in the vial or at Neiman Marcus to make sure it will work with you. At $100 for the full-size bottle you will not want to take a chance on this one.

dbm82 says "Delightful...if too simple" about Jo Malone French Lime Blossom Cologne

dbm82 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:37:15 GMT

I bought a vial of this and many other Jo Malone perfumes while looking for my signature scent. At first whiff I really loved the fresh small of this fragrance. It is not lime, but rather lime blossom--a refreshing, green floral with a hint of powder. Unfortunately, twenty minutes in, this smell turns to green dish detergent on me--a simple, soapy scent.

I have, however, found that layered with another Jo Malone fragrance, Wild Fig and Cassis, this makes a lovely, crisp scent with enough depth to make it interesting (and not detergent smelling). Unfortunately, after wearing this combination for about a week, I started getting headaches from it, as I do from many fragrances. Not really a big loss though as a full 30 ml bottle of a Jo Malone costs fifty-five dollars and the 100 ml is one-hundred dollars. While I like this scent combination, I'm not quite ready to lay down $110-$200 for it, especially since it makes me sick.

dbm82 says "Soccer mom city" about Clinique Happy Perfume

dbm82 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:28:58 GMT

I feel a little bad giving a bad review to a fragrance so loved by so many, but well, let me start off by saying that I am very sensitive to perfumes--even ones I like will turn my stomach a little if I wear them more than a day in a row--but none provokes the nausea and headache quite like Happy. Oddly enough, Happy Heart doesn't really bother me that much.

As for the scent itself there is nothing offensive (must be something in the chemicals?). It is a very basic, bright, citrus-floral much like the box color suggests. To me, it doesn't smell interesting at all, but rather generic. When this came out, I remember feeling like anyone in a cardigan and khakis would be immediately drawn to it, very cute, very soccer mom. This wouldn't have been a bad thing except that during this time period darn near everyone seemed to be wearing it. Maybe it's a little too accessible, too crowd-pleasing? The result of having everyone wear a perfume, to me, is that it can't be you signature scent.

dbm82 says "warm and autumny" about Lancome Poeme Eue de Toilette

dbm82 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:16:59 GMT

Poeme by Lancome was my first "real" perfume. Every time I see a bottle I still think of the scented advertisement with beautiful Juliette Binoche (appropriately French) that provoked me to buy it.

Poeme might have been just a bit too sophisticated for me then though. It is a rich, womanly perfume, a strong, modern floral-oriental (or "floriental"), but to me it recalls vanilla and honey without directly smelling like either one as well as rich flowers. This perfume is perfect for late fall or winter, when you need a warm, inviting smell to comfort you from the cold. NOT a summer scent by any means.

For the money, this has amazing staying power. A little dab will really do ya. I have lasted entire half-years with the tiniest of sample bottles of this stuff. And speaking of bottles, the one for Poeme is really cute and trapezoid-shaped, although it looks a little dated (nineties) to me, but that may just be from having seen it for more than a decade now.

stepbrave says "light, wonderful smelling perfume" about Sarah Jessica Parker COVET Perfume

stepbrave — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:15:55 GMT

After years of wearing Glow by J Lo I was ready for a change. A fellow playgroup mom was wearing Sarah Jessica Parker's Covet and I thought it smelled great! It had a high price tag so I was leary to make the switch. I happened upon it at Marshalls for a great discounted price. I snagged it up and was glad I did. It is such a refreshing change. It is light, floral without being overpowering.

I have had compliments on the smell and my husband is loving the new smell!

I have a sister who is pregnant and very sensitive to smell. She said most perfumes make her feel ill, but this one was light enough for her to even enjoy.

I have even been told it smells like fresh, clean laundry!

Overall love this perfume and am anxious to smell her other perfumes.

This perfume is great for a night out with the husband, or around the house just taking care of the kids. Makes me feel a bit sexy even for a busy mom!

dbm82 says "Girly and floral" about Estee Lauder Pleasures

dbm82 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:09:31 GMT

I first remember smelling Estee Lauder Pleasures in a magazine scent strip more than a decade ago. The page was covered in a field of soft pink flowers, the perfect image for this soft floral fragrance. This perfume reminds me of an everywoman, though not quite in the same way that Clinique Happy does. The lady who wears this fragrance is just slightly more girly, a little bit dainty--a little bit more pearls and cardigans. Adjectives that come to mind regarding the smell itself include sweet, light, floral, and rich. It is a bit old for me, more of a "mom scent" (or maybe I just feel that way having first smelled it when I was still a teen) but one I like.

For added staying power, this layers well with the Pleasures lotion. Great deals can be found on this online or it can sometimes be received as a gift with purchase. Occasionally you can also find this fragrance in an easy-to-carry perfume pen that makes it easy to keep in your purse. For a twist on this fragrance, you might also be...

abbybob says "It smells like summer time and clean sheets!" about Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Eau de Toilette Spray for Women

abbybob — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:28:17 GMT

Wow! This is a perfume that smells different on everyone. Two other people I know wear this daily and if I didn't know, I wouldn't have a clue.

On my co-worker it smells like being outside in the summer time at dusk. It's light and airy.

On my Sister in law, it smells like a trip to Macy's. Simple, sophisticated, under stated.

On me, it smells like cool, crisp cotton, with almost an orange under tone.

Light Blue includes notes of Sicilian citron, bluebell, Granny Smith apple, jasmine sambac, bamboo, white rose, cedarwood, amber, musk.

I used to only wear it on special occasions, but it's so refreshing and easy to wear, I dab some on each day. It's a very flexible perfume, it's as if it smells different depending on your mood or your outfit. I swear it smells more like apples when I am in jeans and boots, then when I am in a cocktail dress and heels!

I get a lot of compliments on it- mostly from men, who comment that it is nice to encounter a woman who isn't in a cloud of matronly...

JoeDegen says "I've NEVER had so many compliments!" about Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue

JoeDegen — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 23:22:13 GMT

I will NEVER use another perfume again. This product is absolutely my taste, me style and as for quality - well, it's Dolce & Gabbana, that's all there is to it!

Friends, family and even strangers, continually compliment me on how wonderful I smell. In fact, it's now known as "my" smell, and I couldn't be happier.

It's for someone who enjoys fresh, crisp, clean scents. With a touch of floral, but not 'grandmother' floral. Elegant, classy and sophisticated.

Other perfumes I've tried (if it will help you to know what my palatte is like) have been 'Realities' Liz Claiborne, 'White Musk' I'm not sure who the designer of this version of White Musk that I (used to) use.

I not only recommend Light Blue, if you're looking for that PERFECT gift for the holidays, a birthday - or you need to 'make up for something' to that special woman in your life - THIS is it.

You canNOT go wrong!

dmlichnerowicz says "Tuscany takes me back to my happiest moments" about Estee Lauder Tuscany Per Donna

dmlichnerowicz — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 01:57:06 GMT

My signature perfume for the cooler months has been Estee Lauder's Tuscany Per Donna for at least ten years. This eau de parfum, available in 1.7 or 3.4 oz glass bottles, is described as "sensuous and luminous as the Italian countryside." Mediterranean herbs, lush blooming flowers, sandalwood and sweet vanilla combine for a sensual and soft combination. The small bottle retails for $49.50 and the larger version is available for $65.00.

What I like about it: This perfume blends perfectly with my skin and smells amazing during the autumn and winter seasons when I want to be reminded of warm weather, countrysides, and romantic trips to Italy! It lasts all day long, and I can even smell it on my clothes when I'm putting them into the washing machine. While it lasts a long time, it's not overpowering and doesn't smell too strong, even when someone is close to you. My husband loves this fragrance - and he is extremely particular. He dislikes floral fragrances, so this perfume with...
