Best scent Ever
I found out by accident actually. Went to "bath and body works" last week while they had a sale.

FLOWER RICE AND SHEA body spray and shower gel is the bomb!! It smells so good that it's almost hypnotic!! Very subtle and not too strong.

That's all:)

2. I used to love that stuff
now I can't deal with it or even regular perfume. Too overwhelming and makes me sick.

3. ...
sometimes a scent can get old after awhile, and i'm not really all that into perfume. I'd say it's only about every 5yrs or so that i find a perfume/body spray that i actually love. This one isn't too strong/overpowering and that's why i like it! When I called in and ordered it, the lady said that was one of their most popular fragrances.

4. All of them have
become really cloying to me so it's not one particular scent. I don't complain when someone nearby is wearing any but some of it really does make me sick, especially if someone has been a little heavy handed with the application.

6. I've become quite attached to the scent of coconut...
Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 03:56 PM by Radio_Lady
I really love it, maybe because I was raised in Florida in the 1950s, and the most prevalent scents were orange, coconut and flowers, particularly gardenia. It's hard to find in an actual perfume or body lotion -- I haven't been successful at that.

Best is the REAL coconut oil (at room temperature, it's like an ointment, but it melts at 75 degrees) for cooking and other delightful uses. I love to eat it, cook with it, and dab it on as a perfume.

Spectrum brand is my favorite.

7. Oh me too!
And coconut has natural antibiotic properties. Good for skin in general. I have some coconut bar soap I love:

and I have some coconut oil (organic) that I cook with.

13. The women's cologne called "Opium"
which seems logical, that women's colognes are designed to smell good to men. They make a men's version of it but it doesn't smell as good. As for scents in nature, I would say gardenias.

15. My Smells:
Edited on Sun Jul-15-07 04:57 PM by LibraLiz1973
Best smell in the world: Babies!


Favorite Household Smell



Favorite Perfume:


Favorite Mens Cologne:



I'm partial to the scent of many Home Interiors candles, cake when it is being baked, fresh flowers, the ocean, dried eucalyptus and Mrs. Meyers cleaning products in Lavender.
I almost always hate Floral Scented candles though- they are normally so strong they make me sick.
