i just bought a body splash today, and i started to wonder, what is everyone's favorite fragrances. i have many favorites. for this summer i used jessica mcclintock and antonia's flowers, both very pretty/fresh/floral. for the winter i plan on getting more burberry. believe it or not, one perfume i always received compliments on was "glow" by j.lo. p.s. some of my older counterparts here on the boards (30 & up) may appreciate this: the body splash i bought was: JEAN NATE`!!! hee hee hee, i saw it in cvs, and had to get it. i remember my mother using it with the powder puff!! sorry my posts are always so long! in real life i'm not that talkative, go figure!

Ah, perfume, my second obsession. I have so many of them I don't even know what I have right now. But I think my favourite so far is Child. I'm also getting into musks more now (didn't really like them before), so I often wear Vanilla Musk.

A question for the perfume-lovers out there: has anyone ever come across one that has a slight smell of leather? I thought maybe it was a Burberry one, but have smelled most of them and couldn't quite find it. I've smelled it on several people before but never have had the nerve to ask a stranger what perfume she's wearing! So I keep looking and looking but can never find anything. So if you know, please fill me in!

maybe you can find a leathery scent more readily in a men's fragrance. my husband and i shared ck1, unisex, but i don't see anything wrong with using a men's scent for yourself. have you tried the perfumes/sprays in bath and body shop, the natural more organic stuff? i would love to get a mint based scent! if you ever smell it again, just ask! i have been tempted many times in shoprite to ask women what perfume they have on. i'm sure they wil love the compliment.

My favorite is Marc Jacobs.....smell of gardenias is just heaven. I have also worn VOLUSPA Jasmin and Brown Sugar, and also Crabtree Evelyn Wisteria....I don't like anything too heavy, but due to where I live, alot must be in parfum intensity, not even eau de parfum will work as the enviornment is too dry, even with layering body lotion, etc.

Habanita has leather...Chanel Cuir de Russie is pure leather...there are others on the tip of my tongue but I've been out of perfumespeak for a while - I'll dig around and see if I can remember!

"L" de Lolita Lempicka! <3 <3 <3 I tried Lolita Lempicka first, fortunately just did a test. Eeeeeuw! In the end it smelled like bug-dope on me. That's not unusual though... ;1 Lots of fragrances do that on me --- must have weird chemistry. Also love B&BW's Brown Sugar & Fig. Mmmmmm. \:\)

And for special occasions, Niki de Saint Phalle. <3 ;9

I recently tried Obsession and was surprised that it smelled fine on me. Tried Euphoria on the other arm and it was also good.

DH has developed a great sensitivity to many fragrances so he no longer wears cologne, and I rarely wear fragrances around him. He gets wicked headaches from much of it. \:\(

Givenchy Organza is all I wear. I really need to branch out here with different things! I can't afford another obsession though, the jewelry is enough!! hehe
