Help Sarah smell good (or at least better)
July 28th, 2008 by Sarah Morrison
I need a new perfume and my cold can’t bear that hour long headache inducing smelling-every-perfume-at-Sephora thing. I want something, light but yummy smelling. Something that smells so good you want to eat me. Yet nothing weird like those perfumes that smell like hot dogs or anything by the Olsens. A legit perfume that’s classy, not seasonal, and smells really good.
That’s all I have for parameters. Help!
I’m kinda obsessed with Burberry for Women. I worked with a girl that always wore it, and one time on our staff retreat I took a little spritz and fell in love. Now that I don’t work with her anymore, it’s copped for sure.
It reminds me of Brits and trench coats. Y’know, classy shit.
I kinda like the whorey stuff you wear now, Sarah! But I have a collection in the bathroom. I love Jo Malone…I wear the rose scent and Mass Appeal guys used to wander around trying to figure out what smelled so nice. Then we’d all make out. I love Anna Sui scents too. And also Marc Jacobs.
blush - marc jacobs
petite cherie - annick goutal
hermes
nina ricci
hanae mori
def blush for the summer. i just stepped out of the shower and put some on. my bf has been following me around the apt saying “you smell so good” for the past 15 min.
i already had a way too long run with hanae mori circa high school. but thats along the lines of stuff i like.
maybe sunflowers.
polo sport women
or prescriptives calyx.
these are kinda outdated though maybe.
marc jacobs daisy makes you smell classy & angel like ;]
Pink sugar makes boys wanna lick you..I swear!!..it smells like cotton candy xtra girly though
the new prada infusion d’orchid smells so fucking amazing. i just got it and it makes me want to have relations with myself.
i agree w tatum- daisy is the tha shit
and vera wangs princess is nice too, but its a little to peppery for everyday
a good friend of mine wears britney spears fantasy and it actually smells amazing. kinda edible, kinda like flowers. i usually wear either gucci rush or just vanilla body spray from bath and body works but lately that is starting to smell like vodka. i think they changed their ingredients
if you can some how get your hands on my queen by alexander mcqueen, lock it down. its peppery and floral and just smells like awesome.
I’m in love with falling in love by philosophy, It smells amazing and never gives me headaches.
Dior Pure Poision. BAD name for a scent
Philosophy is a good clean scent.
My theme is clean - I have to smell clean all the time or I want to shoot myself. I am also obsessive compulsive and shower probably more than I need to.
I try to smell as clean as possible or like honey.
I’ve heard: It smells like laundry! (when i’ve walked in a room), dryer sheets, did you just shower?, you smell so clean!
Philosophy - clean for sure.
MARC JACOBS ANYTHING.
all of his scents are so fresh and so clean clean
He even has a limited edition body splash in pear, basil and grapefruit (ew grapefruits can suck a dick)
If you are cheap and can’t afford marc jacobs
bath and body works has a Gardenia Scent which is almost on par to marc jacobs signature scent that smells like gardenia.
They also have a honey suckle too which is awesome for summer.
Ralph Lauren Polo (the blue one)
is pretty awesome too.
I also use irish spring deodorant and body wash to keep myself smelling cleaner than antibacterial hand soap.
paul smith floral
anna sui dolly girl
or betsey johnson is pretty good too
remember those packs of love’s perfumes like love’s baby soft and all that mess. that would be pretty rad.
any scent from the CLEAN line. I particularly prefer “Provence” which smells like french soap but not really “perfumey” just perfectly.. well.. clean. There’s the original “CLEAN” which is great and one called Warm Cotton which smells just like fresh laundry. Won’t make people want to eat you but will make them want to bury their face into you. So good it could potentially replace showers (and does if yr french)
flowerbomb by viktor & rolf
it doesn’t actually smell like flowers, but it will change your life
Michael Kors Island Capri is pretty nice
My top pick is Vera Wang Princess. My friends and I wear it and everyone loves it. It’s totally yummy.
Miss Dior Cherie
It smells soooooo good! Good like candy, but the classy kind of candy! I also like YSL Baby Doll. This one smells like expensive ass candy too!
Burberry Brit is the shit. Always get compliments from that one.
Little more pricey but no doubt amazing is Voktor & Rolfe Flowerbomb.
*Viktor and Rolf
these girls have no clue what theyre talking about. i am the queen of yummy perfumes, and the three im loving on right now are:
victorias secret vanilla lace
britney spears fantasy
hillary duff with love
yes hillary qnd britney arent exactly my favorite celebs but they endorse some cupcake-smellin pertfumes. trust me, i get compliments on them all the time, especially the victorias secret. smells like cookies!
marc jacobs blush is fantastic but the one i bought broke so i had to fuck around with it to make it spritz out tiny bits. so tragic. so if you do invest, make sure that shit works, i guess.
also, the new victoria’s secret pink line smells delicious. i like the fresh & clean but my little sister has it so i haven’t invested yet. i just steal hers. hehehehehe.
lastly, everytime i wear chanel chance, which is rare, i have boys come up to me and try to eat my neck off. so be careful with that one.
coco mademoiselle by chanel is soooo good
Stay away from these, they’re mine…
1. V’E by Versace. (This is out of production and hard to find so I’m not worried.)
2. Flowerbomb (For some reason Brooke thinks it’s okay for her to wear this. I’ve been wearing if from the beginning. I went to the launch party. Serious.)
3. Colors by Benetton. (When I was 13 I had a camp BFF who used to wear this. Her name was Patricia Marvez and she lived in Puerto Rico. She was insanely stylish and cool and I bought it when I came home so I could be like her. We’re facebook friends now.)
4. Guess. (The Claudia Schiffer ad sold me for lifeat 10.)
I second apple’s rec for Betsey Johnson, and I also really like Gwen’s L.A.M.B. perfume too
@olivia… love anna sui scents.. i used to use dolly girl on the beach until they stopped making it.. and rockstar dolly smells so pretty
elle by YSL is my alternative to anna sui if i ever stop using her perfume.
or you know… chanel no. 5

who wouldn’t want to smell like pot?
you can’t really stay away from flowerbomb. even my aunt liberally spritzes the flowerbomb. id rather cover myself in… nevermind
btw. demeter actually rocks.
Yeah, I recommend Princess by Vera Wang, or Burberry Brit. Calvin Klein’s Euphoria smells really hot and heavy, like sex, and actually Gardenia from Bath and Body Works smells really nice and bright and it’s only about 15.00 per bottle.
I went to Fragonard in France and got some of their Blue Riviera, like 70 Euros, but smells like pure heaven on earth.
Chance by Chanel, or if that is too classy I agree with the L.A.M.B and I’m pretty sure it’s called “I Want You All Over Me” which just makes Gwen Stefani even more amazing.

I’ve done the legwork for you already ’cause I’m in the mood to buy a new stank spray and so far, the one I am saving my pennies to buy, from Sephora, is Comptoir Sud Pacifique, Vaille Coco:
http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P49537&categoryId=C14091
You just have to make the choice of whether you want to buy it or pay your phone bill for the month. [Frowny face]
@Sarah: NO WAY, weed smelling perf from Demeter. I am all over that, or rather, it will be all over me. And without the burnt out feeling and sore throat!
I’m shocked no one mentioned Escada. All of their perfumes are fruity light and perfect for summer and smelling yum. I have the orangey pink one now and I fall in love with everytime I spray it. Seriously mango yumminess.
I like L.A.M.B. for the winterrr/cold ugh.
I agree with the l.a.m.b…..and…the britney spears…there I said it ..judge me..whatever it smells good..(the one in the pink round bottle)..and its cheap…are u going to inform us of your final decision(s)?
i wear japanese cherry blossom by bath and body works, yes its “body splash”…totz 13 year old stylee but i get compliments all the time
oh and princess by vera wang is to die for…and its one of those things that constitutes adult-hood…choose your battles
u need 2 get Calvin Klein Euphoria, it smells wicked sexy. like sweaty sex, and candy. or john paul gaultier classic, in the little corset shaped bottle. it smells mad bomb! i like daisy by Marc Jacobs, but it’s a little 2 flowery 4 me…another good one is victorias secret pink. it smells real good, but it’s a little 2 flowery 4 me…good luck wit the perfume!
YSL Baby Doll, anything Escada, Aquolina Pink Sugar, Nina by Nina Ricci, Angel, D&G Light Blue… the list goes on.
Speaking of smelling like weed… what about pot and roses?! http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P208305
KENZO. THE END
Mademoiselle - Coco Chanel
L’eau D’issey - Issey Miyake
Light Blue - Dolce and Gabbana
Daisy - Marc Jacobs
Into the Blue - Escada
Oh and anything by L’occitane
this prompted me to go out and actually buy daisy after months and months and months of spending my money on more “important” things like food and clothing. i was wrong. i smell SO good. i too am prompted to have relations with myself. ridiculous.
okay calvin klein euphoria is AMAZING. also, i’m surprised no one mentioned juicy couture’s perfume which i LOVE and so does everyone who smells it on me. mmmm delicious.
I’ve been rockin Versace’s Baby Rose Jeans forever ever!

CALVIN KLIEN EUPHORIA.
my hubby got it for me… he literally wants to EAT ME UP whenever i hav it on!! … i get raving compliments whenever i wear it by both sexes!
Euphoria is about sexiness, fantasy, and being captivating. Sexy and sensual, euphoria speaks to the woman who has the urge to break free from everyday life - to provocatively be part of an exciting world filled with pleasure, surprise, and temptation. Her fragrance is a contrast between exotic fruits and seductive florals, for a rich, creamy, seductive signature.
