well i have precious secrets 23 (tommy girl immmitation). i got it for $5 about 2yrs ago and i still have heaps left. it smells really nice. i dont see the point in buying the real thing if i can smell the same and pay 1/10th of the price smile.gif
jase31

buzzn
Ben u should know u don't have to smell all pretty for me wub.gif

Dolce & Gabbana is my thing but i have flirted with Hugo Boss Bottled in the past and am being courted by Ralph Lauren Romance for Men in the past week..
love Armani Black Code too tho
~Em~
I have Baby Doll - Yves St Laurent, Eternity - Calven Klien, and have just recently ordered Gucci and Giorgio.

But on guys, Tommy, and Hugo makes me weak at the knees wink.gif
missvixen

Anthems - the best smelling ravers in the world cool.gif
~Em~
Haha... yes, yes we are!
*smp*
I am a self confessed perfume junkie tongue.gif

I have Babydoll, Lou Lou, Eau Dynamisante (Clarins), Diesel Green female version and Opium - but my two all time favourites are Poison (the original one - best smell in the world) and Obsession by CK....

My boy uses Jean Paul Gaultier, Diesel Green for men, Joop and Aqua Di Gio for men....mmmm, sweet candy laugh.gif

We both fight over the 'females' version of Aqua di Gio too tongue.gif This smells great whoever has it on....

The world should smell beautiful wink.gif

Mine's way strong ... one spray of it and I'm stinking out the whole house for a while ;p

BTW - I LOVE Dunhill on guys ... mmmmmmmmmmmmm
spacecadet
I remember the time where you couldnt go out without everyone having Jazz or Kouros pour homme on. That was a bit of overkill back then & I cant believe it is still being sold.

I have currently got Tuscany, Polo by Ralph Lauren & Romance for men in my bathroom drawer. But my favourite at the moment is definately Opium for men, I think it smells Faaantastic !!!

get ur self one of those old school perfume sprayers (the ones u see in old movies where the women sits there spraying her neck infront of a mirror) from an opshop or something. give it a good clean and put some of ur perfume in it with a bit of water or something so its not as strong.....or just spray it outside smile.gif

I think they are called Atomisers unsure.gif ........ not really sure why I know that
wink.gif

Thanx vixen smile.gif

And buph - an atomiser is the little one that you carry with you ... its the size of a tampon and you fill it with your perfume / cologne and re spray it when ur out.

A nose sensory = getting work in the morning . . Smelling my co workers scents is just beautiful. . .and I am pretty good these days I am able to tell what that scent is.

It is nearly true the LYNX add....when u smell someone great you want to engulf you whole body within that smell . . . entrapement in the scent . .

My collection includes:

Dune - Christian Dior
Dolce Vita - Christian Dior
Hypnotic Pioson - Christian Dior
Estravagance - Givenchy
Unforgettable - Revlon
Puma Girl - Puma
Amarige - Givenchy
Organza - Givency


For a man I love to smell Joop and alsot Tiffany for men.... Ahhhhhhh.....

I like this new 'Joop' that i recently discovered. Smells great and i havent found anyone that doesnt like it.

just got to buy some now.
kingee
I wear Ultraviolet by Pacco Rabane Love it.

If you ever need any top quality perfume or guy scents I can get them really cheap. A friend owns planet perfume and I get most perfumes at well below retail price. For example I used purchase my perfume from a department store for $180 for 100 mls now I get that very same perfume for $68. So if you want anything just email me and I will put you into contact with him. It is all above board and it is the real stuff no imitations.
slide
yeh i tried Joop Jump on the weekend, very nice smell.
will probly get it next hey!

anyone else get pissed off by the pressure sales tactics @ myer in town?

their great to trial - i recomend ebay or the perfume connection (harbour town) for cheaper smells..

There is a huge Male Cologne sale on at Harris Scarfe this week with fragrances like Chrome going for half price (about $50 i think)!

Also love:
Safari - Ralph Loren

Don't mind Romance by Ralph Loren either, although it's flowery so only in summer.
Nessa

Hey guys....

Have any of you heard of Le Reve? I am now working for them, so I thought I would fill you in smile.gif

Le Reve is an Australian owned and family operated company. Its been in Australia since 1988.

Our perfumes are not rip offs, in fact they are made from the same parfum essence that the designer fragrances are.

The designers and Le Reve purchase the same parfum essence from the perfume houses in france.

Most designers perfume (Eau de Toilette) you can buy in department stores has about 5-10%% of the essence in it, the rest is cosmetic alcohol. The alcohol is what lifts the fragrance off of your skin to create the aroma around you.

However, our parfums have 30-35% of the essence in it, and less of the alcohol. Providing you with a longer lasting subtle scent that will turn heads!

We have over 35 fragrances in our range, as well as the layering products to match, including deodorant, soap, body puff and body lotion, just to name a few. We also have Men's fragrances! As well as 3 exclusive Le Reve scents.

Some of the fragrances include: Angel, Hypnotic Poison, Giorgio, Tommy Girl, Joop, Eternity, J'Adore, Gucci, Hugo, Cool Water, Tommy, Acqua di Gio the list goes on!!!

I am currently able to give $100 of free product to anyone that would like to have me and a few if their friends in there home to hold a demonstration. Yeah thats right $100!!!!!

If you are interested in cashing in your $100, please PM or email me and we can arrange a time to catch up! biggrin.gif
Nessa
Ive heard of them!

I went to a party years ago & spent up big!

I'll speak to friends & family and see if they would be keen for a party.





jase31
Marcia here...

Jase can add "Lalique" pour homme to his collection... bought it for him last nite, at whole sale price tongue.gif

my collection includes but it is not limited to...

Jean paul Gaultier summer fragance
Chloe Narcisse, for when Im in the mood
Burberry Touch
Dolce & Gabbana BY, arriving soon...
Christian Dior's Addict
Christian Dior's Addict fresh
Annais annais, icky, gift
Dolce & Gabbana Red one
Dolce & Gabanna Light blue

I love perfumes, one for every personality! laugh.gif

I hate all imitations, the top notes are the same but once the smell settles and you hit the middle and the lasting notes, people end up smelling...cheap, you get what you pay for when it comes to french perfumery...

One of my friends is a perfume importer and sells at wholesale prices and can buy you the testers for so much less is not funny, My Burberry 100ml EDP is really expensive in the Dept stores but I got t for $66 coz its the tester and has no pretty packaging...

If anyone wants a quote for their favorite perfume, give jase a yell and I can set you up, nothing in it for me, not interested, I have everything I need... My friend can even get perfumes that are not availble in australia...

~Em~
That'd be great Nessa! I'd love to catch up with you and give you a $100 free product!!

Its great stuff isn't it? I had a party before I started working for them and ended up getting over $400 worth of stuff !!!!!
jase31
Emma, You're on... (Marcia here)

Christmas is flat out for me with nutrimetics, however, i know some girls who just loooove the essential oils... so i get $100 and i give you my pergola as your centre stage... biggrin.gif

lets sort the date, weekend suits me better...

I tell you, i'm a sucker for any guy wearing Yves St Laurent (only i cant remember the exact name of the colone). It's a real sweet smell (probably something more for the "pretty boys"!

Myself, i'm a huge fan of Hypnotic Poison - Christian Dior (especially for the winter, i love the deep cinnimon smells) or Deep Red - Hugo Boss. Then, Musk (boring Avon brand) for summer, especially the Vanilla smells (but not to strong).

Aww dammit! Now I've gone and got a scratched screen. hmmph

I've got armani mania, armani black, armani white, rochas man, some D&G one and Acqua Di Gio. But I haven't used any of them except Acqua Di Gio in years. I wore it to high school, now to uni and anywhere I go. I feel weird if I'm not wearing it. it's the most common scent but it still turns heads.

I like anything on girls except Ralph. Ooh bad memories

Tee hee!! I love how you say "young guy - not much older than 25". Makes me feel like I'm not so old after all!! smile.gif

As for perfumes, don't wear it anymore but used to love Issey Miyake & Cool Water. I sometimes think it's dangerous to wear perfume/aftershave if you're single - the person you like may have a bad association with it from a previous partner!! Smell arouses such strong emotions in people, I reckon it'd be awful to have someone not like you because you smell like their ex!!! Or worse maybe, like you because you DO smell like their ex unsure.gif
KandiRaver
well... 25 is young, isn't it? i hope so, i'm 22, so i'm not far off!

Lol, I'm cheap, Lynx Pheonix or Africa or Tommy for Men.

I use something I bought from my sister the Avon Rep, lol, It's called Far Away. I decided awhile ago I wanted to find a scent that defines me (lol lol) and she gave me a bunch of samples and this was the first one I smelt. I instantly fell in love, haha, never bothered testing the others. I usually can't stand perfume, so overpowering.
