Ladies, remember Love's Baby Soft? I LOVE that perfume. Since I was a little kid I have. My second husband used to love to wear it, too. He used all mine! And, it worked for him, too. Very well. Anyway- you used to always see it around Christmas time, but I haven't seen it this year. I decided to get some for all the girls in the family. Just as a lark really and because I don't think my granddaughter has ever smelled it. So, I first went to Amazon. Ridiculous! Knock offs upon knock offs and high prices. I could get the real thing from the manufacturer, but the price was double what the manufacturer's website had it for. They couldn't get it to me on time, though. So, I checked dozens of places and they were either sold out or had huge prices. Eventually, I landed at Rite Aid. OMG! It was soooo cheap, like I remember it, AND they had free guaranteed Christmas delivery, so I grabbed 4 bottles. I got one for my granddaughter, my 2 daughters and myself. I'll hand them out at the same time on Christmas eve. I hope my granddaughter likes it as much we do. I think this will be a new tradition.
What is one of your old favs?

I love, Love's.
My favorite is Baby Blue Jeans. Yes it is/was a man's cologne, but worked so well with my body chemistry.

Pretty much anything by Guerlain
Emeraude reminds me of my grandma and my mom
My favorite though was obsession.

For the last umpteen years I only wear Chanel number 5. It makes the whole word smell pretty. DH gets it for me for Christmas or birthday when I am out. The kids really relate that smell to me. Could be worse.

Shoot, I was hoping that another guy might have jumped in before me, but I guess I'll be the first. No, I don't wear women's cologne/perfume, but I have to call MsAli the winner so far. I absolutely love the smell of Tabu. Brings back alot of memories. No, I won't tell any stories.

I still wear Obsession on occasion. I usually don't wear perfume much anymore unless we're going out somewhere special. After working downtown Chicago for 35 years and having to ride elevators crammed with people who bathed in their perfumes and colognes, it kind of turned me totally off to it all.
Vince bought me some original Armani recently. It's a lovely scent. Now we just need a fancy place to go.

From a guy's perspective, Obsession is another winner.

I am a guy. When I was a teenager, I loved the smell of Herbal Essences shampoo. Now, the best scent to me is.....wait for it......my dog's feet. The bottom of a labrador retriever's feet have a mild musky smell that is really nice. Well, I also like to sniff a freshly ejected shotgun shell. So there we have it, they need to make "ode de chien de chasse mouillé"

I’ve liked Poiison by Dior for decades. Used to wear Emeraud or Chantilly.
And I love the smell of Vanilla Extract!

SMH and lmao at the same time.

Add in some 2-stroke and fresh mowed lawn and you might have the best mans cologne ever

But, as I got older my body chemistry changed and they just don't work for me anymore.... either that, or my nose is more sensitive.

Does anyone remember Tigress?? It was my all time favorite as a kid. It was all the rage, but I think when it came time for me to wear perfume it was gone. But, man, I can still remember it.
