I discovered it on a trip to the Caribbean years ago, and have been using it ever since!

And if I am on vacation or not.

Bumble & Bumble Creme de Coco Shampoo
Perfect World face cleanser
Yardley Vanilla Honey soap
Ban deodorant
DayWear moisturizer
Tom Ford Noir de Noir perfume

I used to wear Drakkar Noir.

And savon de Marseille - lavender

She's got one that when she wears it always smells like a vanilla cake.

It's called Merikesh. I have it on my bathroom sinks. It smells like good incense.

I like the smell of Eternity, for women.

I like Grey Flannel, on men.


I never got over British Sterling, either. I wish there were a woman's version, of that.

Have liked her light and airy florals forever, started with L'air du Temps first, and have moved through several, including Nina and Farouche. Now, Premier jour, described as white floral, sweet, woody, citrus, musky, powdery.

because I am sensitive to most "perfumy" odors. esp in the musk/sandalwood range.

But I can and do wear Nina Ricci L'Air du Temps, usually in a lotion ( it goes further that way, and this stuff is pretty expensive.)
and use Magno Classic Black Glycerin Soap. That is getting harder and harder to find.

It's a blend of three essential oils.
The name came from an experience while I was here several years ago.

Perhaps you already know the place.

Me? Full of questions? What makes you say that?

about soap scents...

There's some Safeguard in the shower, along with a tube of shower gel in the scent of L'air du Temps.

Perfumes and colognes:

L'air du Temps
Poison
Chanel #5
White Diamonds
Givenchy Organza

some other odds and ends of perfume/essential oils

and a bottle of Joy that Mr Pipi brought back from Paris nearly 55 years ago and gave to his mom. I inherited it when she died in 2005. It's not more than an ounce or so, encased in a forest green leather sheath. Only opened about three times in 55 years.

I love perfume!




PS...I've always loved the smell of "Prell" shampoo even though it's very harsh on my babyfine hair.

and a bottle of BVLGARI that my wife got me because she wanted me to smell like Ranger from the Stephanie Plum novels.


Sadly, scent is the only thing we have in common.

run by the man-stink counter and gitcha a snort.


If you're lucky they will also have scent pallet cleanser - a box of coffee beans to sniff between colognes. I like the BVLGARI ok but I LOVE smelling coffee.

Why no image for the last line?

perfumes...Lauren and Cool Water in the summer, Opium in the winter.

L'Occitane Lavender and I still have a stash of their miel-honey soap and shampoo. I like their Peony too.

Cinnamon toothpaste and fragrance free Ban. I worked around Chemo patients when I first started out in nursing, and I have a keen sense of smell, so I always tone the fragrances down.

I pretty much have a light lavender smell about me....unless I take off my shoes. But I won't go there.

seemed to tolerate it the best.

I also love Body Shop's hemp body wash and body butter.

Nag Champa oil around here, too!

I even use their shampoo because it's unscented and hypoallergenic, whatever that means.

I'm also allergic to antiperspirants. There's a couple of deodorants that work for me, but I have to look for them. They are all unscented.
