Re: Your Favorite Perfume/Scent (Thread 9)

[patchi2012]

i may add elizabeth arden green tea, ewan basta fan lang ako ng mga mild scent, sensitive talaga kase ako, may maamoy lang ako na perfume, sumasakit ilong ko, then migraine kagad. kaso kahit papano since gusto ko naman gumamit ng perfume, i just spray it, directly sa damit. pero i still do collect bottles, kahit papano, ugali na talaga siguro natin mga girls. now i settle sa petit et mamans.

[stacies83221]

^sis patchi2012, may mga sensitive talaga sa perfumes and  worst may perfume allergies din. The thing with spraying on clothes, it increases the longevity and projectivity ng mga perfumes, making it smell stronger and longer but nagiging linear yung amoy at di sya nagdedevelop completely compared to applying it on the skin. Sometimes, but rarely, they also stain your clothes, lalo na if dark colored yung juice. If i may suggest, spray once or try applying perfumes on your nape or at the back of your knees para di mo sya masyado maamoy. Of course, if you have perfume allergy, its best to stay away from perfumes.

Hi sis Harlequin. i tested Acca Kappa White Moss kanina. So here's my take on it...
It opens na parang  slightly rubbing alcohol sya when you spray it on your arm. Pero given some few minutes it, naging parang laundry soap yung amoy nya but it is mild and clean. Dominant yung musk para sa akin,  but combining it with the lavender, soothing/ calming yung effect nya. I love musks, if you are a fan of Narciso Rodriguez, i think magugustuhan mo to. One more thing, i liked the lavender here kasi it is not synthetic-smelling, like the ones you get sa mga oils for your burners/diffusers. I cant  entirely say na aquatic sya, pero I agree sa most reviews na it smells clean and soapy fresh. Close sa skin lang yung amoy nya, kaya this wont be getting too much attention when you wear it, unless katabing katabi mo yung tao. Longevity is so, so for me... Mga 2-3 hours lang, then undetectable na sya sa akin. Then again, iba iba ang body chem natin. Tingin ko this is a safe choice, parang security blanket kind of a perfume, IMO. 

Hope this helps on your hunt for a new perfume.

THANKS MUCH SIS! I ordered na. Hope I like it and I ope it works well on my body chem. Appreciate your reply sis. 

[Rouged n Perfumed]

stacies83221 yes sis, i have tried white moss kaso medyo anosmic ako sa musk eh and this one is a little musky for me mas preferred ko siguro kung mas mossy siya. but i like the fact that may amoy siyang parang men's cologne maybe because of the lavender i think mas closer siya sa narciso rodriguez for her edp, the pink one that one's muskier than the black one

harlequingirl mas gusto ko rin yung clinique happy for men kesa sa pambabae sis :p yung pambabae kasi may rubber note that doesn't go well with the florals and i find the men's version more rounded and not as citric sour check mo din sis yung clean na fresh laundry, fresh din ang smell pero mas lasting yung fragrance niya kesa sa white moss and mas feminine siya for me, unisex kasi ang amoy ng white moss pero tama si sis stacies, this is a very safe choice for every occasion.

speaking of acca kappa, i love acca kappa mimosa, try it if you can find it soft, feminine and smells like a dewy garden

[stacies83221]

Sis rouged n perfumed, siguro mas sensitive lang ako sa musk kesa sa moss... Yup, Yung musk ng white moss is a bit similar nga sa NR Edp. I love NRs talaga, kaso since stop muna ako sa pagbili eh i satisfy my perfume "cravings" thru testers and samples at this moment. I am thinking of swapping yung ibang perfumes ko na di ko masyado na sinusuot or tupe kaso pag iniisip ko na mdidiscontinue sila tapos biglang maging rare eh tumaas ang selling value nila. ;p kaweirduhan lang uli.

You're welcome harlequingirl. Enjoy your new perfume.

Hi mga sis.. sis stacies may ask lang po ako regarding sa mga type of scent ng perfume nalilito kasi ako, ang "fruity" po diba matamis sa pang amoy, ang "citrus" naman parang maasim sa pang amoy, ang "floral" naman ma flowery ang scent. Ang "woody" sis tsaka "musky" ano po amoy nun sis hehe, kindly give example po sis , Thank you.. muah

[hushlygreen]

i'm loving my jo malone wild bluebell and nectarine blossom. nakakatuwa rin na nakakacreate ako ng new scent when i combine them. ^_^

[kenjiekenj]

Hi. Saan po kaya ako makakabili ng "clean" perfume? Meron ba sa SM or trinoma?

[simple_chix]

love ko gamitin ngayon ang shea body mist ng body shop. Pamalit sa fav kong elizabeth arden green tea.

Sis ill try to describe them ha...

Fruity - anything that smells like fruits, usually strawberry, raspberry, apple, etc. Not necessarily sweet smelling.
Floral - Associated with flowers, like rose, lily, peony, violet, iris, etc.
Citrus - just think about lemons, oranges, mandarins, etc. It is usually refreshing and tickles your nose. The degree of sourness varies though.
Musky - musk smells like a sweaty odor. just think of the normal musculine scent sans anghit. Example perfumes are Narciso Rodriguez for her or Clair de Musc by Serge Lutens
Woody - smells like a fresh cut wood, it is dry. just think of the smell of the pencil shavings. Examples would be Dsquared She Wood and Feminite du Bois by Serge Lutens

[lady_sapphire03]

wow thank you sis stacies, now i know how to choose perfume, but depends pa rin diba sis sa body chemistry natin, I have Paco rabanne ultraviolet 5 years na sa akin di pa nangangalahati  nasa ref lang , ok naman ang scent mabango something flowery di nga lang long lasting, after 2 hours di na sya naaamoy, i purchased 10ml trial perfume kahapon, .. Elizabeth arden green tea, Versace bright crystal, Incanto charms, Victoria's secret Secret charm, Lanvin eclat. I try my best to describe how it works on me and the scent too  Thank you again sis stacies

Pahabol : Meron pala akong naamoy kahapon na perfume hindi ko gusto parang amoy anghit hehe, di ko gusto  ang musky scent nakakahilo, masakit sa ilong

[runawaywithyou]

DKNY Be Delicious Intense

[millealtera]

Is SJP Lovely a dupe of NR for Her? I have tried the former several times and something about it is off-putting for me. I smelled something metallic and harsh. Jarring yung amoy for me, not the skin scent I was expecting it to be. I have been wanting to try NR for Her for the longest time but if it's really close to Lovely, baka ganon din ang effect sa akin. I'm looking for a musky, comforting scent sana.

Also, I have been eyeing TF Tobacco Vanille as a present to the partner. He is currently using D&G's The One for Men. He used Hugo Boss Bottled and Polo Sport before and he also likes Drakkar Noir (this one I haven't smelled yet). Favorite deo naman nya yung Old Spice Pure Sport. I'm not sure kung pasok yung Tobacco Vanille sa style nya.

[preciosa]

Anong pinaka mabangong scent ng jo malone...? Type ko kasi yung nectarine honey ... Ok din basa inyo mga sis...? Sis stacie and rouged? Walang kaweirduhan ha haha...

[makdonna]

His sis stacies, ano kaamoy ng armani white? Phase out na daw kasi ang replacement nya armani code di ko type eh. What do you think sis? Thanks

sis are you talking about emporio armani white? eto rin perfume na antagal ko na hinanap, HG ko kasi to kaso yun nga nadiscontinue na. recently i discovered bvlgari omnia amethyste, on me it smells almost exactly like white, mula top notes hanggang sa dry down. then i discovered na the guy who made white is the same as yung gumawa nung amethyste.

[stacies83221]

Lady_sapphire03: You´re welcome sis! Enjoy sa mga new found perfumes mo! I hope you´ll find distinguishing notes and getting what a perfume is all about fun and exciting, because I really do.



Millealtera: You´re right, Sara Jessica Parker Lovely and Narciso Rordiguez for her are similar. SJP is is just a thinner, less musky version of NR. Drydown is quite different, as SJP moves to the floral feminine side. I find NR smoother and rounder than SJP. If you really want an NR, Narciso Rodriguez for her Iridescent, which is a brighter, lighter and sweeter version of  NR for her.



Preciosa: sis, among Jo Malones frags, I love the following, ( don´t worry, no more kaweirduhan).
       JM Nectarine Blossom and Honey - my top 1, you can´t go wrong with this one
      JM Vanilla and Anise - top 2.1
       JM Orange Blossom - top 2.2
       JM Blue agava and cacao
       JM Pomegranate Noir
       JM Red Roses




Makdonna: Yeah, i´ve read somewhere na may similarity daw... but I dont agree totally. I do get that both have the floral woody musk thing going on both frags. But i find Armani White more citrusy than Bvlgari Omnia Amethyste. BOA is powdery and reminds me of Valentina by Valentino a bit because of the sweet notes. Pero iba iba ang perception lalo na when it comes to perfumes. But i am happy  that it smells the same on you and you found a substitute.   Yes, si Alberto Morillas yung perfumer. (calling sis swim_fatale!)

[aka_formality]

Macdonna: Yes sis, emporio armani white nga siya. Hinahunting ko pa din siya hanggang ngayon. Medyo mahirap mag-order online eh. Ang substitute ko naman ngayon ay bulgari green jade, very powdery lang ang scent pero i like it naman. Also tried bulgari omnia amethyst ok naman pero gusto ko talaga armani white.

Stacies: Kakatuwa ka dami mo talaga alam about perfumed at very helpful ka pa sa mga sisses dito. Thanks sis.

[millealtera]

@stacies83221: Thanks so much for the reco. I'll go for Iridescent then.
