What kind of perfume does Stevie wear?

[desertangel]

From nicksfix.com Ask Lori (she's been writing quite a bit lately, actually.)

Hello Lori,
First i like to say i pray Chris is doing better and i will pray for your family. I like to thank you and Stevie for all the years of very up lifting song you do. Stevie is my saving grace and i mean that literally. You sound great Lori. Thank you Both so much. Hugs & Kisses to you all.And do you know what Stevie's favorite perfume is? I was told she loves Beautiful.
Thank You!

Lori's answer:

Thank you, Linda, for your thots... I'm glad that Stevie's music has meant so much to you! To be honest, Stevie doesn't really wear perfume anymore, as she tends to be very sensitive to most. Altho, I am not familiar with "Beautiful," but at one time she used to mix patchouli and musk oils to make her own scent. Now, if she wears any oils or lotions, they are usually gardenia and tuberose scents.

This is interesting... because everyone who meets Stevie says she actually does "smell good" (well, I'm glad to hear it..lol) ..... so she must wear _something_...

[JazmenFlowers]

the only one I can think of is Fracas...I think I remember her mixing her own oils, but don't remember more than that.

[WildHeart69]

^ Yeah, I always heard Fracas...

[petep9000]

She must be an Estee Lauder fan, because 'Beautiful' is one of their signature fragrances, and Tuberose Gardenia was released last year. I also think I read somewhere that she liked Le Mer skin products, and those are owned by Lauder too...

Stevie wears Eau De Nicks :laugh:

[lilwing80]

Yes, she smells like herself. LOL!

[StreetAngel86]

and wouldn't u love
wouldnt you loooooooove
to love heeeeeeeer :laugh:

if you're at the stage you can smell her
i remember she smelt GOOD
not overly floral but it was a nice waft... if it was perfume i don't know wot it was

[desertangel]

Wonder how long ago the patchouli/musk thing was happening. That stuff seemed to be popular - well - in some circles. Maybe that's why she has a sensitivity now. ;) Now I wanna run down to the local dept. store and sniff that EL tuberose/gardenia perfume. My stepmother had an affinity for all things EL, particularly Estee.

[iamnotafraid]

Fleurs de Rocaille Caron, trust me.

[dnightshade]

Chanel No. 5 on occasion ~ esp. if it was a special gift and she wants to please the person who gve it to her.

[CADreaming]

During the SYW tour, Cory gave out Fracas as the answer in her tour diaries.

Mick or Lindsey? :lol:

[fringed n fab]

I couldn't imagine Stevie not wearing some kind of fragrance and smelling good. I'm sure her clothes smell good too when they come back from the cleaners or maybe she even keeps some kind of nice smelling scents inside the clothes chests while on tour. I do that for my own closets lol. Cologne or dryer sheets usually.

[AgeOldDesire]

Along with Fracas, I'd guess she at least used to wear Chanel hence the song Chanel, Chanel:

"Lady traveler
Leave the room the way it was
Well, the scent I left...
Well, they can't stand up in the darkness
Ooh, Chanel, Chanel"

:D

[gypsy4life]

I alwyas heard Fracas, and wanted to try it because people talk about how good she smells.

I have asthma though, does anyone know if Fracas is strong? I'd have to order off the internet because we don't have a Sephora in my area.

[vivfox]

OK admit it, how many Ledgies have run down to the store to smell or purchase any of the scents listed in this thread?:laugh:

I bought it - it's expensive and it's very strong. It has a heavy gardenia scent. It's wonderful - a unique fragrance - I actually wore it today but I sneezed all day...

I found it a bit strong, but I am a bit set in my ways when it comes to fragrances. I didn't set out to buy it--a few months ago it was one of the free sample choices on Sephora. I usually pick 3 fragrances as my freebies--so keep your eyes on the freebies if you happen to order anything from Sephora online.

I'm intrigued that you said that because normally perfume doesn't make me sneeze, but about 10-15 minutes after i put this on, I do have a sneezing fit.

And I put very little on. Just a spritz on my neck and a tiny bit on my wrists. It is very strong and at first I didn't love it on me, but now it's one of my all-time favs.

I just wanted to share two articles I came across while searching for perfumes that Stevie wears.

http://www.beautynewsnyc.com/fragrance/fragrances-and-the-celebs-who-love-them/


Fragrances and the Celebs Who Love Them
By Kim Taylor

"Halle Berry, Rosanna and Patricia Arquette, Rebecca Romajin, Janice Dickenson, Shiva Rose and Stevie Nicks:

Black Gardenia oil
This perfume is akin to floating. It’s a mysterious blend of white blossoms with a soul of gardenia in a silky oil base, and it has a hint of something deep and dark as well. It comes on strong at first, and then it softens and warms and smells slightly dangerous. It’s both sweet and wild, like a wildcat, Billy Bob Thornton or a supermodel on a rampage."

And the other one is an interview by More.com (it's a bit long, I only posted an excerpt):

http://www.more.com/stevie-nicks

More: "You said you’re keeping these journals for your goddaughters and your niece."

SN: "Yes, and I think that's really great because I think of my grandmother, my mom's mom--I adored her. And I spent every summer with her from when I was about 3 until I was 15, and I just loved her so much and I had so much fun with her. She would let me stay up all night and drink coffee and watch movies. And I just wish so much that she had been writing, because it she had written it down, I'd have it. I keep my journals in those big leather-bound journals because I find that those don't get lost. I like to tell all my fairy god-daughters and my niece Jesse that when I'm gone ... which is not a bummer, it's just fact ... they can sit on the floor and go through all these journals, and they can walk through my life, and they can smell the gardenia perfume on the pages. They can have it in their hands ... who I was."

Well, there you have it; Stevie likes gardenia!
Something both she and I share. :) Although, lilac takes first place for me! :lol:

Robert Piguet also makes 'Petit Fracas' for those as of yet unprepared for the full bloom of 'Fracas'. It leads with lighter citrus notes rather than the headiness of tuberose. Jasmin and gardenia remain the leading notes that settle on the skin and envelop you throughout the day. The final scent, the base, is a creamier sandalwood where 'Fracas' classically has something more of an edge of musk. As a result it is sweeter than that Stevie wears.
If you wanted to wear a similar fragrance without the high price try Madonna's 'Truth or Dare' and put aside prejudice of celebrity scents.

'Gardenia' of the Les Exclusifs de Chanel is much lighter than Piguet or Madonna. It is less creamy and purer gardenia scent. It does not envelop you so deeply but it does veil your skin nicely. 'Beige' of the same range has the creaminess and sweetness that layers very nicely with the ethereal white floral of gardenia and creates what is to my nose a superior 'Fracas'. It settles on me far more discreetly than any of Piquet but of course that is individual body chemistry.

Regarding fragrance layering I also believe that the body lotion, I think discussed elsewhere on this board, Creme de la Mer that Stevie uses softens the Piguet fragrance, absorbing some of the edge of the musk without taking away from the depth of classic Fracas.

Oh my gosh I just posted this on my thread about what Stevie smelled like and here is a thread on it. Newbie. So Lori said patchouli? I will have to get some and see if that is what I smelled on Stevie that night. The perfume Celestine smells pretty close to what Stevie smelled like that night. Gardenia was not the smell at all that night

I'm sure she has worn different scents over the years. Does anyone wear the same aroma they used in 1979???

Patchouli smells kinda moldy, and I know some people cant stand it. I however love it because it reminds me of my childhood since my mum used it a lot when I was little.

[GoldDustBoy]

BTW I read somewhere that Stevie used to make her own mix of patchouli and ylang ylang.

Maybe she douses herself in that odor-neutralizing Febreze.

I love Charo.Shes about Stevie's age or alittle older and she is still stunning and beautiful.

That was funny.

Some people are allergic to some perfume scents.I worked with a couple of people that used to sneeze their heads off if they were around somebody with a lot of perfume on them.

[Wynne]

If anyone runs across Celestine, its almost exact to her smell the night I smelled it, it's a little bit like the perfume Opium except Celestine has more floral.

[Macfanforever]

A good chance for those are going to the upcoming DVD signing next month can check out what she is wearing for perfume.

[Wynne]

I ordered some on Amazon when you posted this and got it here in two days. I smelled it before I opened the box lol. It is to say the least, very unusual. :eek:

[Aussie W/Heart]

During the late 70's & early 80's Patchouli oil was a pretty popular perfume used by guys and girls at that time.. You wouldn't want to put too much on, or end up with a massive headache.. :eek:

Madonna had her Like A Prayer albums douced in patchouli oil and were shipped to the stores with its heavey scent. Does anyone else remember this?

Yes! Forgot all about that until you mentioned but now I remember people opening the inner sleeve to a burst of patchouli.

Patchouli takes me back to the 70s--incense, oil, etc., it was v popular.

YES! I bought the cassette of Like A Prayer (I know, what??) and it had this odd scent. Later I realized what it was.

Scents that Evoke Literary Memories Comes to Greenpoint Artisanal Store
Nov 26, 2014 by Tanay Warerkar

At present, STILLLIFE offers five scents. Dreamtiger, which is created with citrus, ylang ylang, and vetiver, and is named after a short story written by Jorge Luis Borges. Macondo, which contains sage and balsam is meant to recreate the wild outdoorsy feeling in the village by the same in Gabriel Garcia Marquez’ 100 Years of Solitude. Wild Heart is made with fresh cut flowers and meant to evoke the eponymous song by Stevie Nicks. Argonaut, made with patchouli, clary sage and violets hopes to recreate the floral and fresh feeling of Patti Smith’s poetry. And Green Cockatoo, with hints of tobacco and vanilla are meant to evoke the south as described in Wallace Stevens’ poem, Sunday Morning.

I'm responding to this now because I just found my cassettes and still have the Madonna Like a Prayer Tape. Still smells like Patchouli Oil. I told my friend Madonna's cousin & he laughed. (I'm originally from Detroit & lived a mile from Madonna's childhood home during her HS yrs so know some of her family)
