What is YOUR signature fragrance?

18 years ago

It doesn't matter if it's apple-scented shampoo or Chanel No. 5...how do you "show" yourself to the world, scent-wise?

My mother will forever be associated with Shalimar...in fact, I have her last bottle of perfume, which is at least 40 years old (she died 20 years ago). A brief whiff of the stopper brings back years of memories.

While I do love cucumber-melon fragrances, it has't (yet) risen to the level of a true perfume. Personally, when I do wear perfumes, I love Coriander and, to my surprise, Bellagio, since I bought it on a lark when in Las Vegas a few years ago. I do have a few others, including years ago, Giorgio, I also have a bottle of Joy, which I bought mainly because "it was the thing to do" as a young lady on her first trip to Paris as an adult (although I had lived there as a child). Others on the shelf not worn recently include Obsession and Magie Noire (both a bit too heady). In high school, I loved Tabu!

My sister has had a ying/yang love of both L'Air du Temps AND Poison...go figure.

What's your fragrance profile?
