Sis, pa help nman. Pawisin kasi akong tao kaya kahit anung gawing ko pabango hindi pa rin maalis yung amoy pawis sa katawan ko. ano ba dapat na gamiting kung pabango? Kaso ayaw ko naman naghahalo yung amoy ng pawis at yung pabango.

Try to find a nice smelling deodorant or body spray, dove or sa bench madami nito, or try baby cologne or very light smelling perfume. mainit kasi talaga ngayon and some perfumes hindi maganda amoy pag mainit. Hindi ko magamit si clinique happy ko with this kind of weather.

Right now i'm loving escada absolutely me... Vanilla scent siya

I am more into fruity scents pero mas gusto ko colognes or body mists over perfume.  Too bad walang perfume na available dito na amoy cotton candy online lang siya available. Would like to try sana yung Deneter, Prince Matchabelli at Gale Hayman.  I've tried Pink Sugar Aquolina, Wonderstruck, Fantasy, Prada Candy pero di talaga nila kuha yung pagka cotton candy ng cologne na gamit ko.

^ I havent tried Parfum de Coeurs Cotton Candy, yet those three i´ve mentioned are maybe worth a try if you are looking for a sugary olfactory treat. :) They are sweet, yes, but not too cloying and strong to the nose, unlike Aquolina,Angel, Flowerbomb and Candy. :) It may not be the same as your cologne but maybe, just maybe, you´ll find what you´re looking for among them. :)

May body mist na binili sakin mom ko during my elementary days, sa SM department store nya binibili and super mabango sya. Basta raspberry yung scent nun, di ko talaga matandaan yung brand nung pero gustung-gusto ko talaga hanapin.  :-\ pa-suggest naman ng perfume/body mist na raspberry yung scent, baka sakaling may mahanap pa ako na katulad nun.

That is indeed challenging sis Escapaira, lalo na perfumes dont stick too long when applied on wet skin. Suggestion sis, i try mo na i spray mo rin sa damit yung perfume... Tapos magspray ka rin sa pants or undies mo. Then magbaon ka ng top para pampalit if super napawisan na yung shirt mo.Stay away from spicy perfumes... And stick to the clean, fresh smelling ones. ;) anong perfume/cologne gamit mo sis?


Sige sis try ko din yun pero ano pala ang amoy ng spice perfumes? Gamit ko ngayun daily scent cologne ng bench.

@ Escapaira -- Di talaga maiiwasang maging pawisin kapag ganitong kainit ang panahon. The smell that results from sweating is mainly borne of bacteria so find products muna to address that such as antibacterial body washes and laundry products. You may even try suggestions doon sa baking soda thread. Afterwards spritz on a light refreshing scent, nothing musky. There are lots of great suggestions sa previous posts on light, refreshing fragrances (e.g. Clinique, Clean). Hope this helps.


Kagabi lang galing kami ng grocery store bumili ako ng anti-bac downy sana mawala yung amoy  :'(

Thank you sis , kailangan ko na rin siguro magpalit ng pabango.  :)

Sis escapaira, yung spicy is yung may vanilla, pepper, incense, amber, clove... Keep your scent close to those na parang fresh, bagong shower na amoy, like yung parang citric (lemons, mandarins, etc) and  aquatic ones. Back read ka lang, maraming suggestions na ganung scents mentioned earlier sa thread.

OT lang pero since related sa topic mo sis...
If nasa clothes yung amoy, I suggest that sa last na balnaw ng clothes mo after washing with detergent soaps, haluan mo ng 1 cup apple cider vinegar or 2 to 3 tsp na baking powder yung water then sa last na balnaw na yung fabric softener. Sometimes kasi yung detergent nagstistick sa clothes and di natatanggal yung stringy soapy smell and that causes unpleasant smells sa clothes, then pag napawisan, ayun... If you wash with washing macine, important na keep the lid open after using para magdry at mahanginan yung loob ng washing machine kasi pag nakaclose, usually nagstastart maggrow yung mga moss and other organisms sa loob ng washing machine. Kaya pag ginamit uli, ayun, macocontaminate yung clothes and amoy kulob yung clothes thus aggravating the whole scenario.

For colognes, you might wish to try Parfum de Coeurs Body Fantasies Raspberry Fantasy, Bench's Raspberry Crush, Penshoppe's Acqua Bella Raspberry Drizzle.

sis FOURever, you can find perfumes with caramel notes. Vanilla is popular because most of the perfumes use it as one of base notes. The base note sits on the skin longest and usually is part of the heart of the perfume, together with the middle notes.

When you spray a perfume, the first you smell there are the top notes. When you shop for scents/fragrances, dont just rely on the first minutes because the common mistake when buying is when you smell them after immediately applying them, you will say, "ay antapang!" and ditching the perfume, but that should not be the case. Wait for the scent to develop a bit and then you make the judgement. :)

And now, regarding perfumes with caramel... I´ve tested these so far. And note that when a perfume has so much sweetness on it, it can be cloying but of course, it still depends on individual tastes.

Prada Candy - it is a strong, sophisticated, drapey caramel then mellows down to a warm yet soft gourmand scent. Not your typical fun, sugary, teeny boppy fragrance as the name suggests. A Longevity is very good, it stayed up to 10 hours on me.

Aquolina Pink Sugar - this is more cotton candy, but there is definitely a strong caramel in this one. This one is a girly, fun kind of sweet perfume that will make you think cookies, creme brûlée, pralines and just sugar! On me, at first few minutes, it smells like licorice the first few minutes and then after that, it turns all sugar-crazy, like that of a freshly spun cotton candy. And finally, comes this soft, creamy caramel in the end. :)

Demeter  Caramel Fragrance - as the name implies, it is caramel, but i smell a tad of maple syrup in here. Still, this is all warm, soothing caramel and sugary treat.  Stays around 3- 4 hours on my skin.

Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy - A combination of caramel, vanilla and pralines... while the first three are pure sugar delights, this one has a bit flowery note in it.  While Pink Sugar and Candy are strong, this one is non-offensive. Yet I feel that this is quite generic already. Yet in terms of target users, this is a all round crowd-pleaser. :) Staying power is moderate, around 4-6 hours.

I want to recommend Thierry Mugler´s Angel and Taste of Fragrance Alien. They have caramel notes in them together with other notes, just to mix things up a bit. Mga vavavoom fragrances sila but if you want to try them too, if ever you get a hold of them.

Hope this helps! Happy Caramel perfume hunting!


Han-Han: You´re welcome sis!

Currently wearing Ange Ou Demon Le Secret by Givenchy, since nasa malamig na area naman ako. This is my second most favorite scent in my collection, most favorite is Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. Madaming nagko-compliment sa akin when I wear those two and they go well with my skin. :D

Re: Pawisin, I am always told not to wear EDPs, and to use EDTs instead; and I agree, no-no to spicy fragrances. Sayang nga eh, I LOVE AODLS but it's an EDP. I can attest to that since I wore that scent during a hot summer day at nangamoy-pawis ako, di pa natatapos ang araw in contrast to wearing Colors de Benetton (both made by the same nose, with the latter being an EDT). :(

^Love those two din, sis nettai. I have Ange ou Demon and now contemplating getting a full bottle of AODLS after finishing up my sample. :)  AODLS is great for the hotter months.

Wearing Thierry Mugler Womanity today. A lot hate reviews about this, because of the fishy, metallic, bloody, etc. notes, but once kasundo ng body chemistry mo, this smells really gorgeous! ;)

I have only used one scent so far, and that's Green Tea by Elizabeth Arden Going 5 years, and I'm still loving this perfume. :)

But sometimes I feel like wearing a different scent on other days. Do you girls know a place where I could buy testers (small bottles) of authentic perfumes? Also, do you have any recommendations for 'cool' scents (I don't know how to describe it, but not citrus nor floral nor sweet)?
