I love citrus scents, and have been making one bottle of an old Crabtree & Evelyn scent last for years (Sicilian & West Indian Lime). I noticed today that they've come out with a new West Indian Lime scent after all this time.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love grapefruit too, and I have a great lotion called "Agrumes" by Pre de Provence. Your post made me do further research and I'm about to buy some samples on the internet of a scent called (could you guess?) "Grapefruit" by Jo Malone.<BR/><BR/>I found an interesting site that will sell various sized samples (which can dangerously add up fast... yikes, everything looks so tempting!): <A HREF="http://fragrantfripperies.com/store/index.html" REL="nofollow">see link here</A>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20890242.post-80296729361668663042007-05-18T11:59:00.000-07:002007-05-18T11:59:00.000-07:00just a note, Estee Lauder was only promoting their...just a note, Estee Lauder was only promoting their own fragrences - Donna Karen is under their wing. <BR/><BR/>But, you should have seen the sales lady when I went sniff the Joy bottle (I remember Mama!) that was on display in the regular perfume department.

You're right, there are a couple of scents with pamplemousse in the name but, unfortunately, grapefruit only seems to be one of several components.<BR/><BR/>Laura A and Ms. Place, I love 4711 and seriously considered it.<BR/><BR/>And anonymous, I agree, a signature scent can be dangerous. One thing I like about using a recently released fragrance is I won't remind anyone of their grandmother or ex-boyfriend.eric3000https://www.blogger.com/profile/00554308678019220189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20890242.post-34130784771605374742007-05-18T07:42:00.000-07:002007-05-18T07:42:00.000-07:00Pamplemousse....there I remembered.

I heard someone else say a famous perfume smelled like Raid to her. What misery it is to be trapped next to someone drenched in Emeraude.<BR/><BR/>I think it would be awful to think I smelled wonderful every day while others were hating my scent. <BR/><BR/>I must say I love grapefruit and I don't think you can go wrong with natural scents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20890242.post-41063162778514398892007-05-17T21:26:00.000-07:002007-05-17T21:26:00.000-07:00Love this post.

I must wear lightly scented colognes, the kind that force men to smell your skin up close. Not bad, actually.<BR/><BR/>However, TMI, and I digress. I wear light colognes, such as 4711, which is German and was created in the 19th century. When I wear this cologne I think of my mama, who is Euro through and through.<BR/><BR/>Good luck in finding the perfect signature scent, Eric. It's hard, but once you do, stick to it!!Vichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13668098318085667188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20890242.post-57910358228738227032007-05-17T15:08:00.000-07:002007-05-17T15:08:00.000-07:00I used to have in my bio: .looking for the perfect...I used to have in my bio: .looking for the perfect fragrance. I think i edited out. I was also doing investigative reporting (heh) on eyeshadow. Seven bottles of fragrance later...I read your blog this am and by this afternoon I bought a bottle of Bulgari, whimsically at Marshalls. <BR/><BR/>I wore Shalimar when I was young. Light Blue by, Dolce Gabbana for about 4 years. 4711 cologne appeals to me sometimes I just switch around now so I guess I am having an identiy crisis. <BR/>Tim Gunn mentioned Guerlain's Mitsouka which I would like to research. <BR/> <BR/>If I find a signature scent I will be surprised.mumblesalot (Laura A)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13051278403007823355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20890242.post-52662506802714761882007-05-17T10:27:00.000-07:002007-05-17T10:27:00.000-07:00Linda,That sounds like an interesting event.

It's spicey and I love it.

They also make scents like Fresh Cut Grass, Brownie Batter, etc...so maybe they have a grapefruit one that you'll like...and they're cheap, cheap, cheap!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20890242.post-31183872414485903332007-05-16T19:49:00.000-07:002007-05-16T19:49:00.000-07:00Funny you should do this post.

This was in Chestnut Hill, MA (fab new Bloomies!)but it's a national tour. They had us select things we like from various senses - site, sound, smell. I liked the perfume that I ended up with - Donna Karan something, but I didn't purchase that night. <BR/><BR/>Up till now my signature scent has been Yves St. Laurent's Yvresse (previously called Champagne). But they've stopped making it so I tried Guerlaine's Champes Elysees, which is really pretty, but doesn't stick to me!<BR/><BR/>So, am using my tester Donna Karan and maybe will buy it eventually.<BR/><BR/>It's hard! But a signature scent is a big deal. I have an ex-b.f. who wore a cologne that I can't remember the name of now, but it's memorable and will always remind me of him. My mother always wears Joy and my Grandmother always wore Chanel 5, so those perfumes will always be Mom and Grandma! <BR/><BR/>Cool post, thanks!Linda Merrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07484402027814646865noreply@blogger.com
