AHA!! !! I Love BPAL, that's where I get most of my perfume from. Mostly I just have imps, but I have bottles of Zombi and Nosferatu.. Which ones have you tried? I've tried about 35 or so. My favorites are Zombi, Nosferatu, Lampades, Hymn, Urd, High John The Conqueror, and Verdandi.
(I'm dying to try the new steampunk scents, and the new carnaval ones)

They have hardly any throw on me, though.. So usually if I'm wearing perfume you can't smell it unless you're right next to me.

Also like Jovan Musk. These are the two my dad wore, really don't like anything else. Mom's stuff staaaanks. Think her nose is a wee bit on the "tolerant" side...

I enjoyed "Open Road" though it's "male" fragrance... Now I like Valentino's "Rock'n'Rose".

I like fresh smells, such as when my hair has just been washed. I can smell the shampoo fragrance on it, same for my clothes. I hate strong perfumes. I once had a bf who I could smell before he entered the room his aftershave was so strong...it was horrible.

I like spraying a soft 'fresh linen' type fragrance in my laundry cupboard, that way I get the smell I like on my clothes without it being too strong.

how old is she? as people age their noses become less and less sensitive, if they smoke the same happens. my parents don't wear perfume or cologne unless it's a special occasion, in which case my mom will wear something light sometimes. my dad doesn't wear any.

i'm the same way, i love a girl's scent when they're fresh out of the shower because shampoo and lotion usually smell just strong enough to get my attention, but not so strong that they irritate me.

I like subtle scents...can't stand stuff you can smell long before/after the person wearing it has gone by.

Some faves include: vanilla, as long as it doesn't smell like Playdoh (yuck!), coconut, lime or grapefruit. My shampoo has a rosemary/minty scent that's awesome!

I LOVE wearing fragrance!! ! I have got a few and mix it up (typical nt lol) like Imari one day then Little Black Dress another. I can't wear one I have that I like tho due to an allergy to it.


Lol! I love fragrances. I don't wear them (allergies also) but I go into Body Works and just sniff everything in the room. : )
But if someone has too much on then yes it does bother me lots.

One day when I was 22, I woke up to a text that a friend of mine had been hired at a perfume shop at the mall.
So I went to visit her, walked in, and nearly died. I had never been allergic to ANYTHING.
So, I gave away everything I had at home. Never bought any more perfume.
Then, one day when I was 25 (IE, this past year), I put on deodorant and got this horrid rash. It was the same stuff I'd been using since I was 16 (Which is when they discontinued what I was using before that)
Then, the rash wouldn't go away. So, I decided to try washing my clothes in some non-scented detergent, and the rash went away!
So, I don't do any of it. I also get headaches from others' stuff (my boss, especially). I also get headaches from the laundry detergent aisle at the store, and walking in the mall, the stores that spray fake scent, like Abercrombie and Hollister, for instance.

Sometimes I put on perfume if I find one of those smelly sample pages in a magazine or if I'm in a department store or something, but I don't own any. XD;;
I reeeaaally like rose-scented perfume, (my friend had some once..) but I would feel way too girly wearing it.

I wear anti-perspirant and that's about all. I do have some perfume (Ja'Dore/Dior) but it never gets used. As a matter of fact I'd forgotten I owned it :P
