Do you like perfumes/colognes?

Aramis and black leather, takes me back to when hubby and I were dating...oy, no get your mind out of the gutter. He had a motorcycle and the jacket was for protection...then again...well no we won't go there;);):playful:

Not too far off but I do love the smell of tidal flats. When we used to visit our grandparents in Virginia every summer, we'd go to the beach. There was one point on the way when we went over some tidal flats and when we smelled that unmistakable odor, it meant we were near the beach. To this day, that is an "exciting" smell to me.
 
The ocean is something completely different. When I was a kid we went to Cape Cod, MA and Atlantic City yearly. As an adult we lived on Long Beach Island NJ. Me and the kids would play on the breakers...we lived a block from the beach. There is nothing like that smell, even with sand in the whole house.
 

I'm in the same boat. I give some scents the kiss of death, I guess. A hundred years ago I liked "Adam's Rib". Gone. Then I fell for "Mink and Pearls" by Jovan. Both were discontinued. Now I like "White Tea" by Bvlgari. I can't find that in perfume, only cologne, so it doesn't stay with me very long. I could cry about my loss of Mink and Pearls. It was (pardon my silly-sounding comment), but it was my "signature scent". I received many compliments on it. Boo Hoo! (I bet the guys really love reading this kind of stuff! LOL)
 
Perfume....

Thanks. I happen to be familiar with the Vermont Country Store. They have "Evening in Paris" which, as a young kid, I thought was from heaven. They want about 50 bucks for it! What if I hate it in my old age? Aghhh. I don't want to experiment for that kind of money.
(Ha ha I still love their beautiful blue containers!)
 
That blue Evening In Paris bottle is so pretty. It was all Mom used when I was little. When my parents went out, the 3 of us girls would sneak a sniff from the bottle.

I also liked the Shiseido original Zen perfume, gold floral design on black matte bottle. My older sister was a rep for Shiseido back in the late 60's/early 70's at the Eaton's College Street store. I applied, but was told I didn't look Asian enough. Recently, some Shiseido reps came from Japan and she was invited to meet them. They were very generous with gifts and gave her a photo of herself from back in the day. Here's a photo from back then, she's on the right.

I almost bought that just for the sentiment. :)
