| 我仲記得自己開始用香水係大學時期, 第一支香水係Tommy Hilfiger.. 之後就有咗用香水嘅習慣(就好似頭髮一定要執執佢咁), 亦都陸陸續續用咗好多唔同品牌嘅香水.. 我喜歡清淡/清新/有個性嘅味道, 熱買品牌或者果香/花香/粉香嗰啲我絕對唔會有興趣.. 仲有, 因為市面上實在太多選擇, 所以我習慣用完一支就轉其他牌子, 因此就通常都唔會買大支嘅香水.. 除非自己真係好鐘意個味道, 我先會考慮用第二次, 印象中用過兩次或以上嘅香水都唔係多嘅.. 其實我就話香水係好個人嘅, 有人認為用香水係一種禮貌, 有人覺得香水多餘又嘥錢, 有人認為香水可以增加魅力, 有人認為用香水係掩飾自己缺乏信心.. 你又點睇呢?? :) |
| i still remember i started to use fragrance during my uni days, my very first perfume was Tommy Hilfiger.. i have since then the habit of wearing perfume (like i must have my hair styled) and have tried numerous brands of perfumes in the market.. i always prefer those fresh and subtle scent, and never am i interested in those hot-selling or flowery/fruity/powdery type of fragrances.. also due to the many choices available, i usually change to new brand one after another, hence i rarely buy myself the large bottles.. unless i love the scent so much, i will consider using the same brand for the second time, there aren't much in my list though .. actually fragrance is very subjective and personal, some think it's a courtesy, some think it's a waste of money, some think it adds charm to a person, some thinks it's just to hide your lack of confidence.. so what do you think about fragrances?? :) |

SK, I smell good too today with my CK - Eternity for Women. Morning everyone.
ReplyDeleteSo far I only used CK and Estee Lauder. I may change to other brands like you. I normally bought the miniature one. I bought at the airport Duty Free shop, 5 miniatures in one box, I might get a free clutch sometimes.
DeleteIt is always good to smell nice all day long. I will put a bit when going to work, I will put more when going for function. Heheheh!
DeleteI don't know the brand of my perfumes. What I mean is, I always use those sample perfumes which come in small tube. My hubb has at least 7 bottles of fragrance. He will bargains for freebies when he makes his purchase.
DeleteI'm so pitiful, only manage to use free perfumes :(
The sampling tubes are printed with the name of the perfumes but Ah Hua didn't bother to look, aha!
Deletei am smelling good with my "La Bateleur" today too, hahaha!! i don't usually stick to the brand, because there are just too many choices to explore and to try right?? only those i super love, then i will make a repeat..
Deletewell, i agree, maybe miniature is better, so that you can try on others faster.. and more importantly, miniatures are easier to bring around.. my perfume won't last long cos mostly are eau de toilette, so if can have a small bottle then it's good to spray again maybe mid of the day..
My first perfume was cheapo type..enchsuntuer...is that the spelling? ?? Forgot
ReplyDeleteI can't even recall my first perfume, haha! I used baby powder when I was younger, I particular love the brand Johnson & Johnson. It reminded me of my childhood years.
DeleteNow I curi-curi use my hubb's fragrance :D
My first perfume is CK One. You all don't know. I was only of the sale promoter when CK One was launched in Malaysia. I was still a Uni student, I worked part time at Metrojaya Bukit Bintang.
DeleteThen, when launching Eternity for Women, I worked part time at Sogo too during my Uni holidays.
haha, Enchanteur!! i remember that, a lot of my girl friends also using that as a start.. and i bet you used their shower gel and powder before also?? hehehe, i think quite a hit that time woh..
DeleteAh Hua, don't go curi DH's fragrance lah.. later you smell like men only and no men want to get closer to you.. ask DH to get you one bottle of feminine fragrance lah~~
hey, Mak Yannie.. i think when you're in uni i must be in college days.. i always go Metrojaya and Sogo after class, i wonder if i've met you before, haha!!
I prefer fragrance for men, not so musky and girly. No need to attract other men, can attract my MM alone can already la ;p
Deleteerrr Ah Hua, are you sure your MM is attracted to that masculine scent?? ooopss~~
DeleteWhy suddenly about perfume ah? Planning to give us pwrfume surpris as additional year end prize ah?
ReplyDeleteaiyah, nothing much to blog about mah, and this idea came into my mind.. hahaha!!
DeleteThere was s tine where I follow my sis use poison. Fulamak...heavy scent but surprising after a few spray the nose immune liao lol
ReplyDeletewah, poison?? very heavy one lah, those are really parfume for night use and very formal functions i guess..
DeleteActually now I prefer mildd flora or clean scent. Dont like fruity scent. Will get dizzy if fruity scent
ReplyDeleteThere was a colleague who us heavy fruity scent.. alamsk...each time she passby I dizzy one time. Lucky not same department else I sure highest mc there.
i also cannot tahan those heavy scent lah, feel so suffocating right?? haha.. now i wonder if i am putting on too much and make people around me suffocate huh?? :p
DeleteI hardly use perfume as i sweat easily...
ReplyDeleteoh, then you should try to use the deodorant from the same range.. :)
DeleteI do too...but it is getting very very expensive. Will have to use sparingly - not like before...just spray like RIDSECT. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteNo lack of confidence on my part...just that I would think that since I don't look nice, at least I can smell nice. Hehehehehe!!!!
DeleteAnay TM said, smell good can drive good feng shui to ourselves.
DeleteFood must smell nice, home must smell nice, human also must smell nice la!
Oh yes I am very sure that good smells attract good people! Bad armpit smells drive everyone away! Logic?
DeleteSTP i love your quote today!! since I don't look nice, at least I can smell nice.. but this line is for me lah.. for you i think you should say "since i look nice, so i must smell nice also".. haha!! agree??
Deletehaiyoh, i absolutely agree with bad armpit smells that drive people away.. i've got that many times inside the packed train, disgusting and horrible~~
I used to spray perfume every day but now getting lazy. Haha.. I like J'Adore from Dior, and Aqua de Gio from Giorgio Armani. But I think it's nice to be around people who wear perfume provided it's not overpowering :)
ReplyDeleteAqua de Gio is a nice one, very fresh and light.. that is one of my friend's "evergreen" favorite, so i refuse to use the same one, haha!! oh yeah, i also cannot stand those very strong and heavy scent from perfumes, please be moderate.. :)
DeleteI can't smell...Can't buy any perfume, have to wait for somebody to smell f0r me every time!!! =[
ReplyDeletehuh?? what do you mean you can't smell?? but perfumes are very subjective and personal, you should smell it for yourself rather than others doing it for you right??
DeleteI know, but I just can't smell because something blocking my smell sense!!! =[
Deleteoh, it's pretty interesting to know about that..
DeleteI'm allergy to perfume. I will sneeze if I smelled it.
ReplyDeleteI will feel giddy if I'm in an enclosed area, eg. car and if the perfume are extremely strong.
DeleteDuring my 21st b'day, a good friend gave me a bottle of perfume. I still kept that perfume till now and still got a lot inside.
Deletebut if that person sweat a lot and got body odour, i think perfume does help
Deleteu can try this new brand. A friend's friend created his own perfume for sales. https://www.facebook.com/JoshLeeFragrances?ref=ts&fref=ts
Deleteoh, too bad you are allergy to perfume.. and that bottle of perfume given to you during your 21st birthday.. aiyoh, i don't think you can use it anymore lah, the scent sure lari already after so many years..
DeleteEr... I think a person with bad BO is not suitable to use perfume. BO + perfume combination is worst! Must treat the BO issue first, just my personal opinion.
Deleteoh yeah, very true!! don't use perfume if you have bad BO.. and talking about combination, don't also combine a few fragrances on your body too, they will turn out to be bad..
Delete我個人認為香水可以增加魅力，不過都要視乎香水嘅味道。太濃太俗氣反而會弄巧反拙。
ReplyDelete所以我自己就只係喜歡清新清淡嘅味道囉.. 太濃會令到週圍嘅人唔舒服嘛..
DeleteI had perfume before but at a point, I became allergic to it. Since then, I used perfume-free stuff.
ReplyDeletehmmm, maybe you are just allergic to that particular brand or just a couple of ingredients in it??
DeleteA colleague used to use one that smelled like the toilet-cleaning agent, Harpic! It was really tough on the nostrils. Luckily, she changed to milder ones or maybe used them all on the toilet after finding out the pungency that almost killed her colleagues. LOL
ReplyDeleteFor me, mild scents are my favourite. Stronger scents literally make me woozy that is why I am wary of getting into a car that has a strong air freshener.
DeleteI think guys who use perfume are, shall I say 'sexy'?! haha.. Is it just me? :p
OMG!! harpic smell fragrance?? that is really bad.. haha!! but then i suspect that's because she has put too much on herself, supposed to smell good but too over already?? kekeke, yeah, a little hint of scent is actually sexy huh?? i do think so~~ :)
DeleteI am the greatest fan of le Parfums! This post is like making me happy and uplifts my spirits today.
ReplyDeleteyeah, Anay is always the very trendy person I've know around the blogsphere.. sure perfumes are your thing~~
DeleteOf all the brands you posted I LOVE THAT BLUE BOTTLE RALPH LAUREN'S POLO!!! I feel that is the only brand that connects the best with my frequency. It makes me relaxed, humble and be myself. You believe that??
ReplyDeleteyes, i love that BLUE very much also.. i guess i have used three bottles of it so far!! just love that oceanic smell, so fresh and so sexy.. haha!! i just have to tell you, remember the L'Oreal warehouse sales i went last time?? they have BLUE at RM100 per bottle, the big 125ml bottle that comes with an aftershave too!! what a steal, Anay must go there this year~~
DeleteWhen I use other brands, some bottles could make me talkative and some could make easily irritated to kill anyone! Muahahahaha
ReplyDeletehmmm, talkative perfume and irritating perfume?? what are those brands, i also want to be talkative like Anay, haha!! or maybe should ask SP to put those on when meeting Yannie..
DeleteOr put those on Yannie so she won't be so shy, wakakakaka!
Deletethen i think they should both try the fragrance from LYNX, am sure that will make them go wild~~
DeleteI also like some ranges of Calvin Klein, Van Cleef Arpels and Chanel for Men. Too costly, so I still prefer the blue bottle RLP. Value for money!
ReplyDeleteCalvin Klein isn't the expensive range, i like the Truth from CK, very nice.. Chanel, have not used before but tried some at Sasa counter, not bad and perhaps can use that when i'm 40 later, haha!! yes, BLUE is worth, cos it's 25ml more~~
DeleteI remembered my first bottle was BRUT!!!!!!! I used that when I was in primary school and it cost less than RM10! Now with decades of inflations, the price is still available at under RM50. So pariah but it is from Germany!
ReplyDeleteOMG, annay used perfume since primary school? He's so trendy and up-to-date, know that perfume attracts girls to talk to him~
DeleteAh Hua used perfume only after started working and turned vain, lol!
Ah Hua, Anay killed many girls with his perfume during his teen. Luckily you didn't meet him then, otherwise, you may be one of his ex-women.
DeleteOMG Anay already started using fragrances when he was in primary school!! i didn't start until during college days lah.. BRUT, is that fragrance?? i thot that is some aftershave that you can easily get from the shelves at the pharmacy stores??
Deleteno wonder Anay was a playboy when he was young.. sure he used lots of perfumes to con little girls, haha!!
I like perfumes from RL range; Ralph has nice scent, light and fresh flowery smell.
ReplyDeleteyeah yeah RL has nice perfumes, very fresh and sexy too, haha!! i bought two bottles from the L'Oreal warehouse sales the other time, remember?? :p
DeleteSchool time pakai cheapo Enchanteur. Itu pun already feel grand like what! LOL
ReplyDeleteschool time tarak pakai any perfume lah, only during college days i baru pakai.. lina you ride motorbike only lah, why pakai?? not match your image~~ :D
DeleteYou got see how I ride motorbike? With short skirt and boots.
DeletePopular you.... :-]
eih... Super Ike mat rempits are high class you know.
DeleteKapchai rempit of course kurang class lah. Haha
haha, you also know what is "kapchai"?? i thought that is cantonese lah.. rempit also got class one ah?? fuyoh, mini skirts with boots on a bike!! that's sexy~~
DeleteRempit with a 250cc motorbike compared to 90cc motorbike of course different class la...
DeleteSuperbike also got go out in the middle of the night and race. :-D
yeah, mini skirt & boots. That's why very popular with guys. Not because of my good looks but because of how I dressed.
DeleteBut I stay a virgin for my hubby regardless other bad behaviour or how I dress! ^_~
aiyoh, Pakcik SK tarak bawa any motorbike before lah, what a shame, haha!! sure popular among the rempits with that outfit, and you're like a flower attracting all the bees and butterflies with your nectar.. but then you are the one who took initiative to court Zaini, haha!! i like that, cool~~
DeleteThen college time, upgrade just a little bit. Beli Avon punya.
ReplyDeleteStill cheap.
The perfume still selling ... dunno what;s the name but the tutup botol is purple.
ALso feel grand already! LOL
Janji wangi
haha, i only remember Enchanteur.. many of my girl friends also pakai this.. some just use the shower gel, some use the powder.. yalah, last time student, wearing perfume already grand lah, who cares what brand??
Deleteand of course Body Shop punya perfume were popular duringmy college years:-)
DeleteTalking about Body Shop perfume, I had that one also when I was still a uni student. My BFF bought for me as my birthday present. I didn't really like the smell also.
Deleteoh yeah, the Body Shop perfume too!! that was the entry level perfume lah, but i really didn't like those at all.. too fruity and flowery already lah.. and i remembered an "akua" i bumped into on street smelling all body shop perfume even (s)he walked past 100m away, so scary~~ :D
DeleteI remember when me & Zaini worked at the same office, I would know whether he's in the office or not just by the smell.
ReplyDeleteHe works on the upper floor and I worked at the banking hall.
If he comes in, the staircase would smell of his perfume. ^^
Issey Miyaki one. :)
aiyoh, Zaini put on a lot of Issey Miyaki?? hahaha.. but no doubt, i think Issey Miyaki is more to the long-lasting scent one.. i've used it before, but just twice (once of it was the summer edition lighter version).. but then i realized a lot of people also using, so i refused to use it again.. i don't like to smell alike other people lah~~ :D
DeleteFor me, I'm not brand loyal.
ReplyDeleteAnything got promo and that time I need to buy one, I buy lor....
yalor, i am not brand loyal too.. i always try different brands.. so many choices out there, why must stick to one right??
DeleteMy favourite smell would be floral and with hints of citrus.
ReplyDeleteMust feel and smell fresh. :)
Walau eh! Zaini killed lina with his Issey Miyaki . Good taste la! I like Issey Miyaki too.
Deletehahaha, floral not for guys lah but citrus and wood smell.. is Zaini still using Issey Miyaki now?? and both of you using the same perfume when you worked together in the same office??
Deleteyes, itu orang very loyal to his smell one. But he so clever, perfume finish he never buy. He said no need because he cannot smell it. So, because I want him to smell nice nice all the time, I buy him his perfume lor. Tsk tsk :-D
DeleteI don't use same perfume as himla...where got fun like that? :-D
Deleteaiyer, you buy him that same bottle of perfume over and over again?? got fun ke?? not even some different edition of Issey Miyake?? actually i find their summer edition kind of better, lighter and more fresh.. you don't want every betina to smell your jantan from faraway right?? hahaha~~
Deletegot la... A few times but both he & I like the same smell most. :-D
Deleteeih, i saw a lot of dunno fake or smuggled Issey Miyake at some shops in Sg Wang.. very cheap like RM80 a huge bottle only..
DeleteYes, i use it daily to office .. but not to pasar or casual walks.. for special occasions, it is a must.. hehehe..
ReplyDeletei think i'm use to put on fragrances when i'm out of home lah.. but i only use one type lah, unlike some others they have different perfume for different occasion and timing..
Deletewell, i use body sprays, i find it more affordable and convenient
ReplyDeletethan perfumes and i don't mind the brand or what si ever
as long as it smells good, it would be just fine
yeah, when you find a job later you will sure "upgrade" yourself from body spray to perfumes.. :)
Deleteyeah i will sure spoil myself with such stuffs
Deleteand i usually shift brands haha,
ReplyDeletesame things just bores me a lot haha
and scent was included on that
exactly!! unless i love that very much then i'd consider an encore, else i probably would want to switch to other brands to try..
Deletewell i hated tommy Hilfiger way back then
ReplyDeletei was just a kid and the scent of it was too strong for me
hahaha, i think that was actually quite nice and fresh too.. do you mean the same Tommy Hilfiger fragrance that i first used??
Deletei'm not so sure we had a lot of different types back then
Deleteif yours were quite recent then it might be different
nice set of perfumes by the way,
ReplyDeletealthough, ralph laurien and calvin klein were the only
brands i knew among it
that ralph lauren BLUE is always one of my favorite, love that oceanic smell so energetic and refreshing..
Deleteanyways I hated flowery scents the most haha
ReplyDeletebut then for girls it was just ok
yeah, fruity and flowery scent, except for citrus maybe that i can accept.. men usually go for more musky type i guess..
Deletehave a great day and happy blogging sk
ReplyDeletetake care always and god bless you
you too have a great day and may god bless you.. :)
DeleteSo ngam, the very first bottle of perfume I got for my hubby is also from Tommy Hilfiger! And it's still here now can you imagine? (It's been more than 8 years already =_=)
ReplyDeleteFor me, I use perfume occasionally, so this explains why my perfume tak habis habis guna one.. LOL!
DeleteMy all time favorite brand is Lancome, well Hugo also not bad.
But I don't collect perfume, all also gifted by friends.
And since I got Aden, I hardly wear perfume already. Scare he might be allergy to the fragrance.. hehe.
DeleteOk got to go, cannot spam too much now cause quite busy.. ;)
Good night all!
wow, that first perfume you bought for your hubby is still here now?? eih, 8 years already cannot use already lah, expired already leh, haha!! maybe doesn't smell like Tommy but Bobby, haha~~ last time friends often buy perfume for each other as birthdays, but now old already seldom lah, just go out have nice dinner will do..
DeleteI don't wear perfumes!
ReplyDeleteyou have natural fragrant scent from your body?? :p
DeleteDon't know why I never bother but last time I used to wear Amway's perfumes. Haha! All from their 12 sample bottles which I am supposed to use as sales tools but never did haha!!
ReplyDeletehahaha!! Amway perfumes?? errr, i don't even bother to look at them, so are they good??
DeleteI don't mind people wearing perfumes but can't stand it if they wear it too strong or if the smell is something I hate! LOL!
ReplyDeleteoh, definitely!! it has to be moderate and cannot be too over lah.. else i will also feel dizzy~~
DeleteAnd some people think perfumes or fragrances can mask body odour - actually it just make the odour worse!
ReplyDeletetrue!! you have to have treatment on your bad bady odour first before even thinking about using perfumes..
DeleteThey should use deodorant instead of perfumes!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteperhaps perfume-free deodorant also, agree??
DeleteI dont remember what fragrances that I use right now and I think I use the same fragrances all the while ever since 5 years ago . . . got expire date 1 ah? XD
ReplyDeletehow can you not know what fragrances you are using right now?? never read the label at all?? eih, sure got expiry date lah, usually cosmetics last like 3 years the most from the manufacturing date..
Deletenow a days there is a spray type of "fragrances" . . . AXE effect if no mistaken, you hear it before? hahahaha
ReplyDeleteerrr.. all my fragrances are spray type also woh, those common eau de toilette you can get from the counter lah.. AXE effect?? never heard of..
DeleteI dont remember what fragrances I use means I dont even concern about what brand did I use it thou . . . is kind of embarrass for me to not know what fragrances I use > . >
ReplyDeleteeih, go back and see what your perfume is lah.. at least read and remember the name~~ if it doesn't smell good on you, next time reject it :p
Deleteand sometimes I forgot to spray fragrances . . . and I think one week I spray at least once XD
ReplyDeletethats why my fragrances last very long omg . . .
sometimes i forget also, but most of the time it's quite habitual for me to spray.. errr, don't keep that long also lah, they can degrade one woh..
Delete用香水已经变成一种习惯了~
ReplyDelete還好是習慣, 不是依賴就好~~ :p
Deletei feel the same way hahaha... but i am not that picky anymore... whatever makes me smell good would be fine
ReplyDeleteoh i have tried polo blue and CK before... and now i am hooked with random deospray LOL
ReplyDelete
