How Do You Smell?

So perfume, or no perfume?

Jen and I differ on this one. I like it. Jen just throws on her deodorant and goes with it. (She smells just fine, and I'm a freak about how things smell and have no problem airing her dirty laundry, so I'd tell you if that weren't the case).

While I do love my Aveda perfume (I got it for going in on my birthday last year: if you sign up to their mailing list, they give you a coupon for free stuff on your birthday), I gotta be honest here:

My absolute favorite perfume is not an all-natural one. In fact, it's something that I generally have my French friends pick up for me when they are heading to NYC from Paris. So all-in-all, it's a pretty unsustainable fetish - no matter that it is made from essential oils and natural plant derivatives. But since I get about one bottle a year, I think it might be a dirty non-green secret I can live with since I cut back my heating bill and sold my car. There're only so many sacrifices a year I can handle.

Anyone got any all-natural faves out there to suggest?

I love the scent of essential oils- and have a small collection of my favorites (including Ylang Ylang, Orange Blossom and Lavender)-- though I do have to admit they don't last as long as I'd like- staying potent for 10 minutes or so and then fading and so when out on a date or a night on the town will wear *cough* perfume- which have that lingering advantage.....
I noticed that you guys didn't mention Body Time for a good place to get natural scents. Body Time has a wide range of great smelling natural perfumes as well as all round body and beauty care products. I am not a big fan of chemical perfumes, since I'm kind of sensitive to strong scents, so I use their natural lotions, to which you can add the scent of your choice. You should check them out.
More of a question than a comment...I'm a male biter trying to green up my life, home, giftgiving, etc. as much as I can, bite-by-bite, day-by-day and wondering if there is a good male scent along the lines of Davidoff's Cool Water, which is my favorite. Any help would be welcome!
Hey Biters - just got hooked on Terranova's perfumes. AMAZING stuff. Mad about their Mimosa Kiss Organic Perfume... SO amazing. Check 'em out at: http://www.terranovabody.com/
I am also a fan of just pure essential oils.My favorite ever is my signature patchouli...however it seems people either love patchouli or hate it!Unfortunately,my DH is one of the haters,so I have to be cautious about wearing it!I also have an aphrodesia essential oil that he LOVES.....go figure:)
Smell is cool
DO NOT BUY GHD STRAIGHTENERS FROM shoppingghd.com THEY ARE FROM KOREA AND ARE FAKES!
I'm not a big fan of perfume, because it usually gives me a headache, but I like The Body Shop's Oceanus. It's light and fresh. Although after checking out the EWG's Skin Deep website, I'm a bit freaked out about using any of my toiletries now.
This louisvuitton is so unique, and I never see it’s sold in the LV stores, where did you get this one please? jewelry stores I get my discount tiffany jewelry repaired at a local jewelry stores cost about 20 dollars, it’s not that expensive.
