Perfect Scents

Ever since I was very young, I've loved perfume.  I firmly believe all the studies that say that a particular scent can take you back to a special moment in time and let you relive the moment.  These are a few of my favorites to wear:

Everyday Clean: Sugar Lychee by Fresh

Everyday Sexy: Very Sexy by Victoria’s Secret

Special Occasion Strong: Black Orchid by Tom Ford

Special Occasion Flowery: Delices de Cartier

For a clean and fresh everyday scent, I love Sugar Lychee by Fresh.  It smells so clean and so yummy that I've sometimes sprayed it on a pillow or a scarf when I travel because it doesn't disturb my sleep, but it smells so good.  Sometimes you need that when you are surrounded by a lot of people.

For a stronger everyday perfume and one that Mr. Fantastic loves, I wear Very Sexy by Victoria's Secret.  Mr. Fantastic loves it because I used to wear it all the time when we started dating.  I think it reminds him of those times and he'll occasionally buy me a bottle when I've run out and haven't replaced it.  It used to come in this great bottle, but they now changed it to the boring one up top.  I secretly think that is why I no longer go out and buy it for myself.  I guess, I also have a thing for pretty bottles.

For longer wearing perfume, I fell in love with Tom Ford's Black Orchid.  I love the muskier and more grown up smell. I like that there is a floral base tone, but it isn't overpowering or too flowery.  I don't know if that makes sense, but recently, it's my new favorite.  I even wore it to work once last week.

For special occasions, Delices de Cartier is one of my very favorites.  This one smells completely fruity and girly, but I've never run into anyone else that wears it.  I love that when I wear it, Mr. Fantastic always pulls me in closer and tells me how great I smell.  Not to mention that this is so far my very favorite bottle.  I love it!


These are my staple scents.  Which ones do you wear?
