I started wearing Jovan Musk in 1975. Back then, all I needed was a few
strategic sprays and the gorgeous silage would fill my bedroom with amazing scent. Not only could I smell it all day, but the compliments from others lasted throughout the evening.
Jovan's original formula for the musk cologne spray was richer in color than what they offer us today. Less alcohol meant the notes could LPerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150507072253332022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826756737620419901.post-69471841546752901762017-03-08T08:48:00.000-08:002017-03-08T08:49:32.982-08:00Avon Night Magic Evening Musk
Avon Night Magic Evening Musk. With the words Night Magic in the description, you might as well consider it a top curio fragrance of epic proportions. I can't tell you how many positive reviews I read about this scent before deciding to get myself a bottle.
I vaguely remember trying this fragrance way back in the 1980's, but couldn't recall whether I liked it or not.

Guess Seductive I'm Yours Eau De Toilette 1.7 oz
Can anyone out there who has a perfume weakness understand why the word seductive on a scent bottle draws us in like ants to a picnic? This one certainly did.
For me, fragrance has a job to do. It has to provide either comfort, mystique, glamour, nostalgia , or make me feel more alluring when I wear it.

Coty Vanilla Musk Cologne Spray 1oz
Do you like perfumes with musk notes? As long as I can remember, I have always loved exotic musk fragrances. I enjoy the lingering effects on my skin and the appeal they are supposed to have with the opposite gender.
However, musk is very controversial. I recall giving my Grandmother a sniff of one of my musk scents after which she said phew and turned her LPerryhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10150507072253332022noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2826756737620419901.post-69671883880790837782016-08-14T07:07:00.000-07:002016-08-14T07:07:54.304-07:00Bob Mackie Perfume For Women
Bob Mackie For Women Eau de Toilette 3.4oz spray
In the 1990's, a few well-known fashion designers decided to add fragrances to their collection. I distinctly remember the Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren and Diane Von Furstenburg scents of that era. Bob Mackie was a name that was very well-known in fashion circles, especially after he rose to fame as Cher's dress designer.

When I think about the many reasons why I love perfume, one is the tantalizing image they portray. Like others, I can find myself caught up by the fantasy that perfume marketers try to tempt us with. I can't think of a better example than Aviance.

If you ever search online for patchouli-rich scents, one name you see mentioned is the fragrance by Molinard. There are so many different variations of what manufacturers call patchouli perfumes that you really need to try them for yourself.

Cabochard Eau De Toilette Spray 1oz
Can a perfume with leather notes like Cabochard actually smell good? The first time I read that Cabochard had an unusual blend of notes that included leather, I tried to remember if any of my old scents had ever contained a leathery note. No, I don't think so. The last scent I remember with this note was my Grandfather's Old Spice aftershave.

If you love those spicy powerhouse orientals like Opium and Cinnabar, you may not like the spicy price tags that they come with. Sadly, some of our favorite perfumes are the most expensive.

Just like musk, patchouli is one of those notes that people seem to love or hate. Some of us can take small amounts of the stuff and be happy with it. Others, like me, appreciate the scentsational effects of a strong patchouli perfume.

Good old Coty. The name has been around forever as a supplier of cosmetics and fragrances.
