What's your scent?

My sister want told me she wants a new perfume for christmas, normally she wears Britney Spears whatever, that I usually get her, but she wants something different.

Any suggestions?

Re: What's your scent?

  • Here are some that I love:

    Vera Wang's Princess 

    Juicy Couture

    Dolce & Gabbana's Light Blue

    Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B.

    AlternaTickers - Cool, free Web tickers
  • How old is your sister?

    Right now my favorites are Lancome Poeme, Dior J'Adore and CK Euphoria.

    When I was younger I really like Tommy Girl.

  • Oooh, I love J'adore!  Right now I'm wearing the purple vera wang scent.  I also have some Donna Karan Cashmere Mist which I like but I'm not wowed with.
  • I 2nd Dolce's Light blue, but I also like Fancy by Jessica Simpson

  • I love Marc Jacobs Daisy. It's so light and fresh, I use it as my everyday scent.
  • I wear something from philosophy on a daily basis, because its pretty light as to not suffocate my cube-mate lol.

    Otherwise, Chanel no. 5 all the way!

  • Philosophy Amazing Grace. 

    I'm not THRILLED with it, but DH loves it.  So i wear it. 

  • Scents are, to me, a dangerous thing to purchase.  They're expensive, and you run the risk of the recipient not liking it.  One year I had this jerk of a boyfriend who told my mom I wanted "Curve"--which I hated.  As it turned out, it was his ex's favorite...too bad my mom didn't think about asking me first. 

    Has she mentioned liking anything in particular?  Or do you know what over- and under-tones she prefers?

    Matt loves Munkii!!!
  • Mine was GAP Blue for years but then they discontinued it (boo) and one day I borrowed my rommate's VS Pink and DH loved it so that is what I wear now. I personally think its over played and its not that great, but he really likes it so thats what I wear.
  • I wear "Daisy" by Marc Jacobs....love it!
  • Be delicious, the green bottle. Love it. It's more of a citrus scent.
  • I'm looking for a new favorite scent right now.  I asked for Philosophy's Pure Grace for Christmas because that smells so clean.

    But I have always liked wearing Dolce's Light Blue, DKNY Be Delicious, and Lucky.  Got a sample of J'dore and really liked that also.

    You can get sampler sets from Sephora that have a number of scents, then you get a certificate in it where you can pick the one you like best & get a full bottle.  That'd be a good gift idea!

  • Since TJ Maxx sells perfume so cheap, I tend to wear whatever is on sale, but I love my Coco Chanel. I also like Banana Republic's Rosewood. Or...an all-time favorite is Michael Kors' Michael.

  • You might laugh but I get the American Eagle Outfitters perfume for women.  Everyone who smells it on me says ooohhhh what is that I love that perfume!  I have very acidic skin so perfume takes a VERY different scent on me.  Victoras Secret perfumes ALL make me smell like a hooker.  My sister wears them and they smell GREAT!  Go figure lol.  I agree with one of the other posters that it is a tricky thing to buy.  Something that smells good on someone else could smell awful on her.  Maybe a gift cert for some perfume??  OR go to Macy's and get a bunch of sample bottles.  Put that in a box and tell her the one you like the most will be your gift....That way she can try each of them too and it makes for a good little travel pouch of perfume :)

  • Marc Jacobs Lola... its pretty new just came out in Oct right before my wedding, it was my day of scent. Its sultry and sexy smelling its supposed to be "Daisy's" older seductive sister.. haha

     

    Or how about buying her a small pack with different ones like from VS that way she is bound to like one of them in there.

  • My every day is Marc Jacobs Daisy (I'm an MJ freak!). I also love D&G Light Blue (pretty safe, I'd say), Lolita Lemnicka, and Mathew Williamson's perfume Mathew Williamson (it is a clear bottle with pink details).

    Philosophy Amazing Grace or Pure Grace might be good, too. They have a really clean smell.

    Could you get her a gift certificate to Sephora or Ulta or something so she could pick out her own? (Disclaimer: not sure which stores you have out there!) I agree with Munkii, scents are really personal and there are some things (my friend gave me some Yves Saint Laurent Opium and I HATE it! Luckily she works in beauty PR so it didn't cost her anything - not that I told her I hated it!)
