Question about perfumes?

I don't wear perfume very well. It either doesn't last very long or begins to sell musty after a while.


Is it possible to buy more natural smelling products? For instance I absolutely adore the smell of cucumber or coconut or freshly cut grass (I've had some coconut oil spray from body shop and that was quite nice).


I want to smell fresh and clean, but usually end up smelling musty.Question about perfumes?
Try The body shop,all the fragrances are light and natural ,i doubt if they will smell musty.If you go and try them out at the beginning of you shop,see how they smell after a couple of hours and if you find one that you like you can always go get it.Just remember which fragrance,went where.Question about perfumes?
Try going to a natural food store and looking at what they might have available there.





That way, you'll know for certain that what you're using doesn't have a petroleum (crude oil) base, and it's unlikely to cause problems for those around you. You did know that, didn't you? That the perfume industry is an offshoot of the oil industry, and that in chemical terms, you'd do just as well to spread crude oil all over you as to wear perfume.








Besides, if you really want to smell fresh and clean, then nothing beats a daily bath or shower and doing without artificial assistance.
i buy perfume and have the same trouble coz i put them on and they never smell the same and wear off or smell horrid and real worn but i was bought eden a cuple of years ago and it smells the same all day and lasts too. u can get it from any lloyds chemist and i can still smell it as fresh as wen i put it on the 1st time its seriously the nicest perfume i av ever bought. just try it . its fresh and really nce and well worth a tennar. ope u buy it it is really the nicest perfume i av ever bought or be kissable from avon is nice to. goodluck.
Bath and Body works has a very nice fragrance that comes in a body butter that lasts a looooong time. There is also a body spray, hand lotion, and other products. The fragrance is Coconut Lime Verbena. Smells so good you want to eat your own hand. There is also a cucumber spray that is very fresh but I love the CLV.





There is also a very limey lotion by Asquith and Somerset called ';Margarita'; that is nice.
i had the same prob.... i use coconut deodorant, and than coconut perfume... it stays much longer. i find it great.
try clinique....i think its called happy or heart
i wonder why there are no food smelling perfumes? i love the smell of bbq.
Vetiver by Guerlain


gorgeous scent.
It might not be that scents don't last long... it might just be that you can't smell them any-more when they're on you. After a while of smelling the same smell all day long, you stop smelling it.





For natural scents, try an Aveda salon. They supposedly use all natural ingredients to make their scents, and you can get your choice of scents, and they'll mix stuff up for you.
Try body spray from bath and body works. You can get tiny ones to keep in your purse and then you can try lots of different kinds.
iight gurl make sure u have enuf deodorant, nd buy this perfume it's called euphoria, macy's got it it's really nice, longlasting nd fresh. a lil body spray will be good.
Guerlain has one called Blue Grass and it is lovely.
Yes...but you have to make sure your not allergic to it...or anything else that can affect ur health
im guessing that most perfumes just dont mix with your chemistry well. try going to some stores with lots of perfume (ULTA is a good one if you have that where you live) and try stuff, find ones that you like, and then spary them on your wrists, and wait a bit to see how it smells.





and if you just cant find anything, maybe look for a lotion or spray the perfume in your hair instead or something
I find some deodorants are fresh and long lasting, like Nivea Pearl or the Palmolive Anti-perspirants. Also, what about using concentrated softeners for your clothes cuch as the yellow or pink comfort? Just add a bit more than usual in your wash cycle and you wont need to wear perfume, your clothes will do it for you! It does work, honest!
go to bath and body works and get some body splash, they usually had a huge bottle on sale for only 5 bucks
I use scented oils - this company is excellent and has some fresh scents besides just florals. The citrus scents are great - http://oldtimerlily.safeshopper.com/inde鈥?/a>
Try going to a a Whole Foods or Wild Oats or other natural foods store. They usually sell bottles of essential oils. I like to mix essentials in with my body lotions (sandalwood is my favorite.) I have used this awesome coconut lotion from the store too, I think it was called Kamala Black Coconut.


Giovanni Organics also makes a GREAT line of cucumber scented products!
I take it you freshen up regularly. I have a vaseline skin moisturiser that smells like cucumber, put on when get out of shower. I have a cheap shampoo and conditioner thats supposed to be jojoba but smells like raspberry. Both these products leave me smelling fruity all day long.
Comptoir Sud Pacifique makes several really gorgeous coconutty perfumes, like Coco Extreme. Yves Rocher makes one called Noix de Coco. Bath %26amp; Body Works has two coconut fragrances, Creamy Coconut and Exotic Coconut. And Demeter makes a perfume called Kahala Pina Colada.





Demeter also makes Cucumber and Grass perfumes, and there are several generic body oils with cucumber and grass fragrances. You might also try New Mown Hay if you like grass scents.





You can find most scents available in essential oils in various places. Oils can turn after some time, though, which is why people usually use perfumes instead. I like a lot of simpler, more natural scents myself, and at times I've even used room/linen sprays because they were fresher and simpler than a perfume! I've also used plain real Vanilla extract, and that kind be kind of nice and smoky-sweet. If you do use oils, realize that some of them have mixtures of fragrances just like perfume, so they won't be as simple. Those will have more vague or abstract names like ';April Rain'; or ';Morning Dew.'; I'd stick to the clear-cut ones if I were you because you seem to want the really basic scents.





You can try the perfumes, but maybe for you the oils would mix better with your body chemistry. But do be aware that any scent will be less noticeable to you after you've worn it for a bit.





Good luck!
dont rub your wrists together when you put it on...


also wash your hands/arms before you apply it and spray a tiny bit in your hair-you cant really smell it there but others can.
i use a decent perfume with a body wash, lotion and spray sometimes when you layer it Victoria secret has alot of good smelling products. good luck
Try and use good quality products, watch the beauty products on QVC. They are always giving advise on there.Like Molton Brown, Liz Earle shower gel, Australian Body care products, i absolutely love it....... Try it................
Get perfume from Hollister or Abercrombie %26amp; Fitch,even if you don't like the clothes.They have the best fragrances.They're usually very subtle,but still noticable.I always get compliments on my cologne there.





Aveda,like the other girl said has some nice earthy smells.
