Estee Lauders' Pleasures or Beautiful.
Pleasures more in the Spring/Summer, Beautiful more in the Fall/Winter.

I'm getting some GREAT ideas to try next time I go perfume shopping.
My fave for about that last 4-5 years has been Issey Miyake's L'eau D'isse - LOVE IT. It's about $90 per bottle at Macy's, but it lasts quite a while.
I'm checking out several of the suggestions soon though!

Pink Sugar, by Aquolina. I've been told it smells like caramel. Whatever it smells like, it's yummy.
Also DKNY's Be Delicious.
I recently fell in love with Flowerbomb (Victor & Rolf), but my H doesn't like it.
FBS/WS- me.
F(serial)WS/BS- him.

I was just at Ulta this afternoon after reading this thread.
I tried Philosophy's Giving Grace. Yummy!
Tried Estee Lauders' new perfume Modern Muse, too. Liked it a lot.

I shall provide images ... Cause I am bored ... and I really wanna go check out fragrance.net ... WooHoo !!!
I don't know about seasonal scents, I wear whatever scent I want whenever, usually this largely depends on my $$$ ...
In no particular order ... Did I say I was bored ??? And I see TR was trying to get this flighted somewhere ... me being bored maybe we can go spray over book club, they don't move a lot and can smell musty ......
Sand De Sable ... By I have no idea, I smelled it at Wal-Mart when I was in high school and have been wearing it on/off sense ...
Also another Wal-Mart find from high school. I have sense broadened this to include varying different scents of vanilla perfumes ... I like a lot of them.
I just found this one about a week ago. You guessed it, at Wal-Mart, it is currently my lotion and body spray. I love it !!!
I love this one !!!! I found it at Ross last Christmas. Sadly this is one of those I cannot afford at leisure, but if I could I would. Did I say I love it ??? Cause I do.
Peanut's ??? Blankie ??? Pillow ??? FLIGHT ATTENDANT !?!?!

"Weekend perfume by Burberry perfectly balances a feminine, contemporary appeal with a refreshing, citrusy tone that's just right for daytime excursions. First introduced by Burberry in 1997, this casual fragrance for women has a delicate construction that combines sandalwood, vanilla, soft peach, marigold, apricot and musk into a rich balance that's evocative but never overwhelming. This energetic fragrance is perfect for the weekend, and it's a great selection for any day of the week ..."
Not my words but a description & review of sorts for my fave scent Burberry Weekend ......

I always love citrusy scents in the bottle, but my chemistry immediately turns citrus to essence of Raid. Or maybe it's the smell of those crappy flea bombs. Something bug killing, anyway.

So it's 50 degrees here this am, so the euphoria is on, and God I love the smell of this stuff. It's so yummy.
Also I wanted to add for those of the folks that react to commercial perfumes you can make your own scents. I do this with the lotion bars I make. Go to any local Natural foods store, or place that sells stuff for making soaps/candles/lotions, most sell essential oils.
For my womans hand scent I use a combination Lavendar, rosemary, and Rose Geranium for it. It is light, clean and refreshing.
For my Mans hand scent I use Cedarwood (tiny amount) Orange, and just a hint of lavendar. It's clean and refreshing, and not flowery.
I have a friend who likes them with no scent, and I have special requests as well. If they buy the essential oils for the scent they want I make it.
