k I know some of you here are probably well versed in this subject. What do you wear and why? man or woman. I'm a Swiss Army guy all the way. It's very light and fruity(just like me

) and I get alot of compliments on it. I also believe that certain fragrances go well with certain people.

For a girl--like for ME, haha, I highly reccommend an Italian perfume called Tocca Brigittie. They have it at Sephora. It's named after Brigitte Bardot and it smells heavenly and it is MY SCENT. The moment I smelt it, I knew it was going to be my scent.

For men--I really like Fendi.

Stetson Black is my casual wear, because it has such a distinct great smell, and it really bumps up my self-esteem. And for really special events I always wear Drakkar Noir because it is simply divine

I've been wearing Calvin Klein's Eternity for about 10 years now. It's very crisp and modern: sweet but spicy smelling.

I'm thinking it's time for an update though. I think a more earthy, musky, spicy fragrance would be more fitting for my personality. I've just been holding off because of because of money. Been wearing a lot of the Ax body sprays until I have the extra cash to throw around

I pretty much stick to Clinique Happy. It just makes me think of the good ol' summertime back in Louisiana.

I always wore Versace Eau Fraiche, but at the moment I love this Burberry London cologne.

On a woman i love Gucci Rush, god I'm too well versed in this subject.

Lately I alternate between Polo Black and Hei by Alfred Sung. I also like Dolce and Gabbana.

That's a very nice fragrance; but the aroma doesn't last long. 30 minutes after spritzing, I couldn't tell I even had it on. Same with Ralph Lauren's Romance. Nice but not very long lasting.

I was always a Davidoff 'Coolwater' fan, and in fact still like it's unusual citrus/marine fragrance. I find it to be very long-lasting, and I like how it morphs as the day progresses, really making it the wearers "own". But, I wanted to switch things up a bit so last year I started wearing Bulgari 'Homme', which is very light and has an unusual peppery spiciness.

I visited the fragrance counter last week and sampled Chanel 'Allure Homme' and decided I really liked it. I'll probably pick up a bottle next paycheck. A few months back, I started experimenting with something I found in my pharmacy called 'White Moss' from a company called Acca Kappa. It is a unisex fragrance and the company is very old, and it really does have a mossy quality which is unusual and not unpleasant. After wearing it a few times, I decided it leaned too close to the female spectrum though it is marketed as unisex.

I like Calvin Klein 'Eternity', Chanel 'No 5', and Estee Lauder 'Tuberose Gardenia' for a woman.

In college I usually wore patchouli oil, and sometimes Egyptian musk. When I entered the workplace, I wore patchouli and people actually complained to my face at how it smelled. One woman said "it smells like dry-cleaning fluid!"

Truffit & Hill 1805, aftershave balm only.

I wear Bvlgari pour femme, and have done so for several years. I don't alter that too often, although recently I've been trying to do so. I stockpile samples (Sephora mainly) and carry those when travelling so that I'm forced to try something new.

My husband is not a big cologne wearer-he'll spritz on RL Romance once and awhile. I just got him a Burberry collection to try (5-6 mini sizes)--maybe we'll find a winner. We received a sample of I am King (by Sean John) and love love love it! It was hard to get past the name (several jokes) but it's an amazing fragrance.

I like Opium perfume but I almost never get it because I hate spending money on myself!

Samsara is also good, but it's hard to find, except for online.

My signature scent was L'omani Original Love for years-- I even managed to get a compliment on it from Lindsey Buckingham-- but an airport security debacle took it from me in '08, and I've never been able to find another bottle. After that, I switched to alternating among Stella by Stella McCartney, Chanel- Chance, and Fracas.
