I remember a sister in my congregation who was sensitive to perfumes. She'd often have to sit in the back room because of it... she'd wind up with serious sinus infections because other sisters insisted on wearing heavy perfume. Made me stop and think and I don't wear perfume a lot because of it.
I sometimes wear it when I'm going out but I restrict it to one spray... so I can sniff it occasionally but no one else is knocked out.
I've recently found and love Christine Aguilera's Secret Poison, my fave ever Mademoiselle Coco Chanel, but it's so expensive, so I'd like to know the name of the Next copy?

Issey Miyake I've been wearing this for years, it's a "green" kind of smell, light & beautiful
i also wear happy by Clinique. This is a funny one, whenever I wear it I get lots of compliments & people are shocked when I tell them what it is. They say they don't like the smell of it from the bottle, but, on my skin at least it changes in to something lovely.
Recently I have been covering myself n scented body oils & coconut oil, which has been a nice alternative to strong perfumes.
oh...green tea by Elizabeth Arden is lovely.
i have a sentimental favourite white musk from the body shop, reminds me of my teens
Loz, *waves*
The Next perfume (not a copy, just similar) is called Nude and is £10 for 30ml. The other very similar perfume which is even cheaper is Lidl and called Suddenly by Madame Glamour and that is £3.99 for 50ml.
I don't think either claim to be a cheap version or copy but whatever the "tones" I find so gorgeous and seductive in Mademoiselle are in these 2 as well.
Those one dollar knockoffs are pretty bad.
Atrocious.
My wife wears Burberry. It compliments her well.
My problem is colognes never smell the way they do on others. When people ask what I use, they usually don't believe me because they smell completley different on me. I remember one person going on and on how she hated Drakkar. I was wearing it at the time, but she liked my cologne
I hate when people try and use perfume in lieu of a shower. B.O. and cologne. It makes me sick to my stomache
When I was a young buck in Bethel, I wore Devon. Its a stronger unique fragrance. My wife associates it when we were first married. Well they dont make it any more, but I still can buy it on fragrance.com, it seems you can get anything on the internet!
Cinnabar by Este Lauder - very heavy and spicy, so 'just a dab'll do ya'. It's just for me and with one tiny whiff I close my eyes and go "mmmmmmm". White Musk for everyday, which I always get compliments on. My hubby's old-school and has always used Brut. I LOVE the way he smells!
