At some point in time I owned a bottle of YSL Babydoll, but it smelt too spicy on me so I gave it to my cousin.  I like sweet scents so the Young Sexy Lovely perfume is a much better match for me.  I got a bottle of the limited edition 30 ml size in a heart shaped bottle.
The only Dior perfume that I like is J'adore and Marc Jacobs Daisy smells very much like it except it is not as strong.  I absolutely adore Daisy and it is the kind of scent that I can wear everyday.
I was never attracked to Anna Sui's perfume with the exception of Secret Wish because I'm a huge Victoria's Secret fan and I just can't say no to the angel topped bottle.  I like the bottles though so I have most of Anna Sui's perfumes in minatures.
Juicy Couture is my "party" scent.  Got it as a gift when it was first released in the States, so for a moment it was a very unique scent in Canada.
L de Lolita Lempicka is the prettiest bottle in my collection.  It also has a lot of sentimental values as it was brought back to me from Paris by a very dear friend of mine.  I've always kept it in my "shrine" of perfume and I dust it once in a while, hehee.

Al:
As much as I love perfume, I don't think I can bring myself to spent $500 on a bottle of perfume! >_<  My wallet is gonna hate me! D:  That Dior limited edition perfume is really pretty though!  Definitely a collector item.
I haven't opened my bottle of Kate Moss too.  I heard Kate's staying power is not very strong.  I wonder how many hours the perfume will stay on me before the scent become not noticable anymore.

For Kate Moss' perfume, I've tried one time on my left wrist, yup, it is kind of strong and last for almost 7 hours~

Awesome!  I can't wait to start using it.

I used to wear nothing but fruity floral until I received a buttle of With Love... Hilary Duff perfume last Christmas.  I really liked its woody yet sweet scent and I started to acquire a taste for perfumes that are not fruity floral.  L de Lolita Lempicka, again was a gift, is not something I would purchase normally but I ended up really enjoying it.  Marc Jacobs Daisy and Valentino Rock 'n Rose are two floral scents that I really love.  For fruity florals, the good old Escada yearly released fashion perfume is always a safe choice, but I'm starting to get tired of the bottle. D:  And yeah, I agree that Secret Wish is very weak in terms of staying power. >_<  I use it for more of a display purpose. D:

Yeah the Daisy bottle is really cute, and I really love the scent.  It's very innocent!
I am running out of room in my vanity table too.  I have perfumes that I haven't opened yet. >_<  Have to wait until I used up some old ones.  Daisy is still in its box ah. D:

Dolly girl smells nice... but i don't like the bottle   so scary gum... a big chopped off head on my vanity table wor... i cannot imagine that!!!

I agree with you!  At some point of time I was actually really close to getting a bottle of Dolly Girl, but then I shared at the bottle for a few more minutes and I changed my mind. ~_~

Most of my perfumes are 50 ml and 30 ml with the exception of Chanel Chance Eau Fraiche which is 100 ml.  I was going to get the 50 ml size, but the small bottle doesn't look very good on display - plus I really liked the scent!  It takes me forever to get through a bottle of 50 ml.  The good thing is I have very similar perfume taste with one of my cousins, so I can pass some perfumes onto her.  I have been more conscious about the fact that I have a lot of perfume recently though, so I am going through them at a much faster pace.  With all my opened bottles on rotation (about 15 of them), I figured I will be able to finish a few of them in 1 year.

Dcan your guys EVER tell apart all the different fragrance that you have? cus my hubby...he has no clue at all... when i ask him, he just say i smell nice, but have no idea which perfum i'm using!!!

A friend of mine has an amazing nose and he is my fragrance shopping buddy!  If I showed let him smell a perfume and see its bottle, he will be able to remember what scent it is in the future.  At the very least, he is able to tell which perfume I already have or that I have a smiliar scent when we go perfume shopping.  He is also able to tell which kind of perfume notes I like, so he never fails me when he gives me perfume as a gift (which he did this Christmas).  He also wears men's fragrances and he has some pretty yummy ones! ^o^  I like to go out with him because he always smells good.

有 無 D 比 較 mild 既  介 紹 俾 D 男 士 呢 ?
Thanks~

Bvlgari Pour Homme is very elegant.  A friend of mine prefers light fragrance and this is high pick.
My all time favorite men's fragrance is Victoria's Secret Very Sexy For Him.  It's ultra sexy and it makes girls go crazy!  Sean John Unforgivable is very similar to Very Sexy For Him, but I found its smell to be on the stronger side.

anyone own the Nina Ricci's Nina? =)

Yeah I have Nina.  I can't say no to the apple bottle, and I really like the fresh and fruity scent!!
Got a great deal over Christmas.  One of the holiday sets has a 50 ml bottle, a body lotion and a minature perfume which is sooooo cute!  It was $62.

the new burberry brit for girls is so good (the one in pink bottle)...it smells a bit like chanel's chance, kinda fruity
have you girls tried the fragrance from japan? they have sooo many selections a ...

No I have never tried any fragrances from Japan.   I don't even know where to get them. ~_~
It's probably a good idea that I don't get into Japanese fragrances 'cause I already have a lot as is and I am going to go bankrupt over purchasing perfumes if I discovered the treasures from Japan.

香水﹐我實在多到有罪疚感。。。我成日話比我老公聽﹐我D香水用到 60 歲都用唔完﹐但話左好多次唔再買﹐又成日不停地買﹐今次去日本又買左好多瓶﹐真係無得救。。。
最近先知原來香水有 EXPIRY DATE﹐係兩年咋﹐所以大多數香水 EN ...

Ha ha!  I have a similar problem with having too many perfumes.  The joke between my boyfriend and myself regarding perfume is, "We are going to have to use them in bath and shower or to wash clothes in order to use them all!"

In order to use my perfumes up before their expirary dates, I make sure that I only purchase 50 ml or 30 ml bottles and that I use perfume everyday.  Sometimes I even spray a little on myself before I go to bed.  Have to use them up faster before they go into waste! >_<
