What do you like to wear?

For the longest time I couldn't find a perfume I really loved. I was using Victoria's Secret Pink body spray which was nice but it didn't last very long, since most body sprays don't. They're cheap though so whatever.

Then I got a sample of Fergie "Outspoken" from Avon. It was nice, a little more suited for fall/winter or night time but still not bad.

The last few times I was in Sephora I had been asking for a few perfume samples and asking for recommendations for pretty, girlie floral perfumes. So the first four testers were:

Lola by Marc Jacobs - it was okay, not the best

Blue Water - Dolce and Gabbana - apparently popular but did nothing for me

Miss Dior - Dior - it was good at first but after the first scent layer wore off the underlying scent wasn't that spectacular

Princess - Vera Wang - winner! pretty, floral, girlie, and the scent didn't change to something else.

So one the last trips to Sephora I bought a bottle of Vera Wang "Princess" and asked for two more perfume samples and I think I may have found two more winners.

Daisy - Marc Jacobs - another pretty floral perfume that still smells pretty hours later

Poppy (purple) - Coach - still on the fence about this one. I think it may be another good one but I'm going to keep testing it in a few days and see how I like it.

The lady behind the counter also tossed in a sample of Hello Kitty "Big Pink Bow" which smells like it has potential.

Also..I found that Sephora has roll-on perfumes of some of their more popular fragrances for only $20. Some of the scents I've mentioned are available in a roll-on so if you don't or can't shell out for a regular bottle of perfume there's always this. Plus they're small enough to fit in your purse. bonus!

I may expand and try a fruity fragrance next, like DKNY BeDelicious.

Still haven't found a fresh fragrance that I like but it may be that it's just not my style, much like some of the heavier woody or oriental fragrances that are more suited for night time.

"Obsession" by Calvin Kline

Navy

"Woman" by Versace. My all time fav. I think that they don't make it anymore. I have a full bottle of it but it's 1200 miles away (in San Diego). Good thing my wife doesn't like it!

My fav is Oscar. It's intoxicating. I gave it to my mate, she makes me melt with it on.

I am buying her more for my birthday.

Still searching for the one for me. Thanks for the ideas!

Love, Megan

Bond no. 9 has a couple of scents that I have really come to love. The Chinatown is friggin' amazing, and it smells like nothing else so you get the unique factor. The Bond no.9 perfume (that's the actual name) is also really nice. Toki Doki has a scent stick called Donutella that is another favorite of mine, the sticks are not as strong as a liquid fragrance in the beginning, but seem to last so much longer.

There is a girl at work that wears the Patchouli, and I can smell her coming even through an industrial refrigeration cooler. One sniff, and I know Claire's coming.

I really feel bad you can't smell, does it affect your taste at all?

I currently have acqua di gio by giorgio armani, I plan on picking up a bottle of Purr by Katy Perry. The armani stuff is light I think it was described to me as a summer beach house on the mediterranean. I like it. Very clean and fresh smelling and not over powering. The Katy Perry stuff is fantastic for a night out. I think both are great any time of the year.

I like to change a lot. have been to Sephora and I did like the Princess Girly aroma. I usually will start shopping when the perfume de jur is getting low. It, at least to me, is like looking for a great pair of shoes. and I like the change.

      Over here muttering about "a new Jim Crow against a persecuted minority."

      Rants are not a problem.  My favorite hobby! :)   What's out there is bad enough that I wonder why some people feel they need to embellish it.  Be alert.   Some of this will need to be fought in court if they try to implement it. If people are out to get me, paranoia is justified.  And this may not be the only document.   Abby
    • Ivy
      Not in so many words, therefore it's not there at all.  Excuse my paranoia. And the states passing laws against us are nothing to worry about either. Having to change my gender back to male (like in Florida) is reasonable.  I should just accept it, I mean I was born with a dk.  So that "F" is lie, and a fraud.  My delusions need to be dealt with for my own good.   I'm just frustrated these days.  Just a bit of a rant.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      You probably remember the Target PR fiasco.  I remember reading an account from a woman who shopped there.  She went into a stall and did her business, and someone came into the bathroom and began swinging stall doors open, and when she came to her stall, the woman peeked at her through the crack. "What are you doing?" "Checking for perverts." The writer was so stunned by the absurdity that she finished up ASAP and got out of there, while the other woman entered a stall and locked it, made sure it was locked, and locked it again.

      Nothing about eradicating TG folk. 
    • Ivy
      If 9 out of 10 parts are ok, that doesn't mean I need to accept the bad parts (that are aimed directly at me).  That seems suicidal.
    • Ivy
      True, most of it has nothing to do directly with us.  It's the parts that do that are the problem.   I see the  few problematic statements as being a big problem.  Just because a lot of it may be okay, doesn't change that. Even supposing the rest of it might be good for the country, it doesn't help me if I'm being "eradicated".  I suppose I should be good with that, because it's for the "greater good".  If me being gone would please a number of people, then it's my civic duty to disappear, and vote to implement that.
    • Ivy
      Yeah.  There are already laws against assault.  I don't think the overwhelming majority of trans women have any desire to harass cis women.  Speaking for myself, if I go into a women's washroom, it's because my eyeballs are already floating - not for kicks.  And I worry about getting clocked and assaulted by some guy being a "hero."
    • Abigail Genevieve
      Only three, maybe four, sections even mention transgender.  Most is a conservative agenda I have no problem with.   In the sections that mention transgender, there are very few lines.  Those lines ARE problematic, in every case. Unequivocally.  I can't see some of them standing up in court.  In one case a recommended policy goes against a court decision, which strongly suggests the implementation of that policy would be stopped in court.    Anyone maintaining that this is written simply to support Trump, to support him becoming a dictator, to crush transgender people is feeding you a line.  Nor is it an attempt to erase transgender people.   People will have to decide if the overall goals are worth the few problematic statements.  Overall, I support it.  Of course, I have some reservations.
    • Abigail Genevieve
      It is unfamiliar, therefore threatening.   For 90% or so of the population, gender id can be simply and quickly determined by a quick anatomical observation.  They have no understanding and cannot imagine what it would mean to have a body different from the id.  It is unimaginable.  Therefore, wrong.   So there is this strong headwind.   I haven't entered this discussion, but here is a script: A: I can't imagine what it must be to have TG. B: You're a man, right? A: Well, of course. "amused" B: Imagine you were required by law and custom to wear women's clothing all the time. A: It wouldn't happen. B: Okay, but for the sake of the argument... A: That would be disgusting.  I would be very uncomfortable. B: You have it.  That is what TG people go through all the time. 24-7-365. A: Really? B: And then they are told they are perverts for having those feelings.  The same you just described. A: I see. B: And someone comes along and tells you you need conversion therapy so you will be comfortable wearing women's clothing all the time. A: I think I would break his nose. B: You understand transgender folk better than you think.

      I have found some people correlate TG = child predator ... just as some have correlated homosexual = child predator...    I am baffled by the TG = unsafe connection ... my wife tends to think this way, that this is all about sexual deviancy ... I try to ask how my preference for wearing frilly socks with embroidered flowers and a comfortable camisole under my lavender T-shirts is sexually deviant (or sexual anything) but I don't get very far... 
    • EasyE
      Best wishes to you as you take this step ... many blessings to you!

      Not sure.  The perp is a minor.  The problem here is NOT transgender, the problem here is incompetent and criminal administration.  See https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/family-of-loudoun-co-student-sexually-assaulted-ineptitude-of-all-involved-is-staggering/3231725/ It is more than annoying that people think the problem here is TG and that other people think the solution is some stupid statewide law.  Like an appendectomy to deal with an ingrown toe nail.    Since Loudon, I recall a boy was asked not to use the girl's restroom at a high school by one of the girls.  He, overwhelming her with height and weight,  assaulted her, claiming he had a right to be there.   Later I think eight girls beat him severely in another girl's restroom.  Again the problem is not transgender, the problem is assaults in restrooms and common courtesy.  TG is used as a smokescreen and it seems to paralyze thought among administrators who do not want to do anything to provoke controversy.

      Time to get with your Primary Care doctor and be referred to a neurologist or an orthopedist.  It could be many things, too many for any of us here to guess at.
