This is such a Fantastic thread, thanks Mr. SD!!!
My question(s):
I like White Shoulders--the OLD White Shoulders. The new incarnation (with the cheaper synth. ingredients) is nothing like the old, and by now I would imagine that even an old bottle wouldn't be useful, due to breaking down. Are there any scents comparable to old White Shoulders?
Overall I like the scent of water...when I smell carnations, and my fav. flower gardenias, it's the flower-tinged water scent that I adore. Any other recs along that interest?
I tend to wear oils, esp. lilac--both American lilac and Egyptian lilac (related, but very different). Like stevie667, I invested in Egyptian perfume oils while on my trip there last year. I wear it on my wrists and neck/cleavage, and often on my hair. It's nice when I have my hair up all day, and when I let it down there's a breath of fresh scent.
And Elphaba, Origins makes a nice ginger scent called (predictably) Ginger. I like it for spring and summer.
