Well, I love flowery. Not spicy. Not really into "warm" scents like vanilla. Not TOO fruity. Something appropriate for everyday use, for sure. I tried one on today (Estee Lauder something-or-other, in a blue bottle) and I swear I smelled like a cucumber all day!
I love that one too! But my mom wears it so I wanted to do something different that could become "my" scent. My grandmother ALWAYS wore Chanel No. 5 and I always associate that scent with her. It's another one of my faves, but I don't think I could ever wear it!
The Philosophy grace line is the perfect example for me of why each person needs to try the scent on to find what works with their body. I know most people love the Grace line but it stinks so bad on me like BO. When I tried it with one of the Grace scents on one arm and another on the other arm I had to go home right away and take a shower it was so bad neither myself or my DH could stand it. lol The only other perfume that had a bad smell on me was Poison but it smelled wonderful on a friend of mine.
