I love getting to know you all and have been thinking it would be fun to have some super-interactive posts. A couple of weeks ago, I began a new series called “Do Tell” in which I pose one question in hopes that you’ll share your own personal answers. This week’s question: What is your signature fragrance?

What a fun idea for a post! I'm inspired!
I love this question most because fragrance is my ultimate indulgence.
My scents change with the seasons...
WINTER: Amarige by Givenchy
SPRING/SUMMER: Michael Kors (my most signature)
FALL: Flowerbomb by V+W
I used to LOVE "Grass" by Gap. But now that I'm not 16 and trying hard to be cool and different, my go to everyday scent is Chloe.
My signature scents are Eternity by Calvin Klein, Gardenia oil by Kiehls, and Elle by YSL. No matter what other scents I try, I always go back to these three!
My signature fragrance in the fall/winter is Dior's Hyponotique Poison and in the spring/summer, Chanel's Allure. Love love love!
My fave is Lune de Miel by Fragonard. We discovered it in France and now I order it from there. Interested to see what others like!
this is tough - but i smell of lavender A LOT - but from a perfume, i LOVE Laila, that's 'my' scent - but i change it up ALL the time!
flowerbomb by viktor & rolf is hands down the best... ever!
Narciso Rodriquez!
Burberry London
Though I have dozens, Guerlain's Mitsouko speaks to my soul.
My signature fragrance is Thierry Mugler's Angel. All my friends say when they smell it when they are out and about they immediately think of me.
Vera Wang (her original)!
Burberry Brit and China Rain although everyone tells me I smell like dryer sheets (probably because I use entirely too many). I'd mix in a little baby spit up at the moment as well. I used to work in fragrance development for Calvin Klein so this topic fascinates me!
My signature scent is Boucheron. My husband and I got it in Paris at the fabulous store in Place Vendome. It is so quintessentially Paris!
Year round, Creed's Original Santal which my (now) husband gave to me as a present the day before he proposed to me.
Jo Malone Grapefruit
I switch between Laila and Child
Chanel Coco Mademoiselle
Balenciaga
Hm, though I love to branch out and try new scents, especially boutique perfumers, I've had a steady relationship with Chanel No5 "Eau Premiere" over the last coupe years-- it's a lighter take on the classic No5 but it has a distinct depth and bite to it.
As for my edgy, more out there preference, I'd have to say Editions de Parfum's "Lipstick Rose" -- it's fab.
Spritz-spritz, Alcira

Donna Karan GOLD is my signature fragrance, but I also love the new Estee Lauder Wild Elixir!

Chanel Coco Mademoiselle for sure. Speaking of which, I'm almost out.....husband can you hear me?!!

Chanel Mademoiselle
Bond No. 9 - Bryant Park
Love this idea!
Daytime: Miss Dior Cherie
Nighttime: Badgley Mischka--smells incredibly sexy!
I love Trish McEvoy #9 and Micheal Kors. Great idea for a post!
Prada Infusion d'Iris :)
i recently received Bond #9 Astor Place as a gift for my wedding and it is incredible! All of the Bond #9 scents are so amazing and the bottles are so pretty.
For work and date nights, I wear Vera Wang, her original perfume. On the weekends, I wear Au de Blanc by Bvlgari.
Daisy by Marc Jacobs. Always.
Narciso Rodriquez all the way....
Confessions of a Purse-a-holic
Stella by Stella McCartney...religious devotion.
Aesthetic Oiseau, I wear Stella too! It's been my favorite for a few years now.
I love seeing what everyone else considers their signature scents. You're inspiring me to branch out and try something new!
I love to layer Chanel No. 5 year-round - shower gel, lotion and perfume. But, for special occasions I whip out the Eau de Joy by Jean Patou.
Both, very old school, I now realize.
Michale Kors original with Kiehl's Gardenia lotion. It works because there's gardenia in the perfume!
I just discovered a new Favorite perfume while in NYC last week!! Tocca Cleopatra - It's so fresh and light (i love the hints of grapefruit) - I actually blogged about it yesterday!
http://lifesunspired.wordpress.com/2011/02/09/new-beauty-obsessions/
Burberry Summer! It's light but lasts all day..
I love my collection of perfumes!
-Everyday(casual feeling) Perfume: Heavenly by Victoria Secret
-Night Time Perfume: Sexy Little Things by Victoria Secret
-Everday(chic feeling)Perfume: Oscar by Oscar De La Renta
I have been wearing Calyx by Prescriptives since high school and still love it everyday.
Depends on the season...
Fall/Winter: London by Burberry
Spring: Believe it or not, I wear Can Can by Paris Hilton
Summer: Bath & Body Works Honeysuckle body splash is wonderful
Bond No. 9 in Nuits De Noho. It is simply heavenly!
David Yurman. And the bottle is so chic!x
Angel is always my favorite, sometimes I am in the mood for Chanel #5, and I also love Roma occasionally!
Fun idea Paloma!!
My signature every day scent is Estee Lauder Pleasures. I like le Feu d'Issey for evenings out. Fun topic!
Totally devoted to Niven Morgan Gold! It is a very sophisticated smelling sent, if that makes sense.

30 years ago I smelled Oscar on a flight attendant and LOVED it...then my Hubs bought me Chanel No 5 ten years ago, but while in Paris last year I found Escada in a skinny raspberry bottle and I've been in heaven ever since...I don't stray much from those 3..
either bvlgari omnia cyrstalline or kate spade twirl - i just got it for christmas and am in love!
Right now it's Chanel Gardenia, from the Les Exclusifs line!!!
I alternate between Tiffany by Tiffany (duh!) for Fall/Winter and Quelques Fleurs by Houbigant for Spring/Summer. I've found that men love both. :)
Either Kate by Kate Moss or Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle. Depends on my mood and which bottle comes my way first in the morning! :)
Signature scent and signature cocktail are two musts for any lady!
My scent is Eau des Merveilles by Hermes. Love it. Putting it on is like a splash of luxury.
I alternate between Armani and Twirl... I also looove the tocca scents and am thinking about adding those to my mix.
Hypnôse by Lancôme (often viewed as a scent for older women but I am obsessed with it and think it is incredible) and Chanel Madamoiselle.
Hi Paloma! What a fun little series! :)
Mine is Chance by Chanel! LOVE! xox
I alternate between Stella, Lola by Marc Jacobs and Daisy by Marc Jacobs. I adore Marc Jacob's whimsical retro bottles.
It has always been and will forever be, Chanel No 5.
For day I love Jo Malone Orange Blossom; for night it is the original Michael Kors or Chanel No.5!
Jo Malone's Pomegranate Noir, Orange Blossom, and Vintage Gardenia.
Yatagan by Caron. The most perfect male scent ever produced
It's always the same : REM of REMINISCENCE Paris.
I can't think to leave without it!

I love reading everyone's favs! I am tacky I guess... I love bath and body works aromatherapy lavender- vanilla body spray! I have used it for about 6 years and can't seem to stop. I try to change and before you know it, I am spraying it on again...
For special occasions I class it up and mix it with kate spade new york Twirl. lol!
xoxox,
Sandee
I'm loving Marc Jacob's Lola at the moment, not wearing anything but!
I don't really wear perfume any more...instead I use Philosphy Amazing Grace body wash and lotion. I LOVE how it smells and I have people ask me once a week what I'm wearing. So light and feminine. I ought to look into a going-out scent though!
Though I've been wearing One Million for women by Paco Rabanne lately (it's amazing!), my sig scent would definitely be Hot by Ralph Lauren, everyone I know would agree too, it's perfect!

Narciso Rodriguez- I never get sick of it. I always keep a spare bottle in my linen closet so that I never run out!
Lolita Lempicka
www.afashionsoiree.com
I had always worn Marc Jacobs until I recently switched to Twirl by Kate Spade and I love love love love it!
L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake. I also like the fruity and floral Miss Marisa Perfume Oil for summer.
Vera Wang Eau de Parfum---the only perfume that does NOT give me a headache and but does get many compliments. I love it!
I'm definitely an Issey Miyake girl and have been for a long time!
Gendarme...its a unisex fragrance and I love it...reminiscent of Clean Ultimate...smells just like soap!!
take two- put V&W rather than V&R?? Anhoo- My all time favourite everyday pick is Jo Malone Vintage Gardenia-I'm also loving Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb at the moment.
Bright Crystal by Versace... <3
Since I can't stick to just ONE I have a few I always purchase when the bottle runs empty, but during the winter months I seem to favour Samsara. I love the heavy, rich, exotic scent that seems to go so well with the season. Men stop me all the time and ask me what I'm wearing. Men!
~Michele P. ;)
I love Prada Tendre! It has such a rich smell with hints of sandalwood and amber! I get stopped every time I wear it!
I love how each scent smells so different depending on the person!
I've been wearing Ralph Lauren Romance for about 6 years now and don't know if I will ever love anything as much! Sometimes I start to wonder if I need a new signature but always remember you can't go wrong with a classic.
What a great idea!
When I want to feel fancy, I use Chance by Chanel. But to get the boys, I use Fantasy by Jessica Simpson
--la vie en BROKE--
Clinique Happy. I started wearing it when I was 16 because I loved the name and never stopped.
Indian Coconut Nectar by Pacifica Pefumes, burberry brit, rosewood by banana republic and lolita lempicka. I pick which fragrance i use depending on my mood and location.
I've worn Stella by Stella McCartney for almost 8 years...bought it as my "wedding fragrance" and never stopped spritzing! I also wear Stella by Tocca on occasion.
My signature fragrance is Cashmere Mist by Donna Karan, definitely my favorite year-round, and I get lots of compliments! I have the shower gel, body cream and perfume. I also love Ysatis by Givency which I've been wearing for about 25 years.

Chantecaille, Tiare. I've been wearing it for 10 years and I still never tire of it. I think that qualifies as signature! Perfect for all seasons!
www.helloamazing.com enjoy!
Anything Burberry ha
Kai!
I wear Carmen (Victorio & Lucchino) The bottle is as beautiful as the fragrance.
Ellen Tracy for everyday.
And Fath de Fath for evening.
I really enjoyed reading about everyone elses favorites. Some I'm really looking forward to smelling! Vanna
My signature scent is definitely Omni by Blvagari. It is a musky scent with a combination of vanilla and cinnamon...almost smells like Big Red Gum, which I love to smell!!
Arancia by Acqua di Parma.
It's delicious, fresh and just beautiful!
I have two, Chanel No.5 & Ambre Narguile by Herme
Chloe, love it!!
Philosophy Unconditional Love body wash & lotion. It's not as overwhelming to me as perfume can be and also doesn't change on me throughout the day (I problem I've found with perfumes). I've had women ask me what I'm wearing and my brother -in-law said that his hat smelled like Debbie after he left it on top of my jacket.
Hermes Eau de Merveilles
Fun post! I love Chanel Chance
Love this!
I love Kiehls Original Musk for all seasons and I also wear:
Fall/Winter: Tom Ford White Patchouli for evening
Spring/Summer: Jo Malone Nectarine Blossom and Honey and Antonia's Flowers
This is fun!
My day time scents are Chloe "Chloe" and Christian Lacroix Eau floral, they both are light and floral. For night time I use Armani Code.
Love this idea.
My all time fav- Chanel No. 5
Interesting read! My faves depend on my mood but these are my most go-to perfumes:
Annick Goutal - Eau d’Hadrien & Mandragore
D&G - Light Blue
Carthusia Mediterraneo
Love this series....I have worn Chanel's Chance for several years. Chanel No 5 is a sentimental scent for me..my Mom gave it to me when I was a young girl. ~CJ
I mostly go back and forth between Chanel "Beige" and Serge Lutens "Dratura Noir"
Oooo... I have a few on rotation -
Touch of Pink by Lacoste
Miracle by Lancome
Flora by Gucci
I like having a variety so I can choose depending on my mood!
I Love Love by Moschino.
Ever since I was 16, I've worn Samsara by Guerlain. It's sensual, spicy and easy on the nose for everyone. I've had complete strangers ask what I wear and I'm still proud to wear it today.
I've always been a Bulgari girl but lately I've explored other fragrances! What I'm currently using:
- Balenciaga Paris
- Jo Malone Limited Ed. Sakura Cherry Blossom
- Bulgari Voile de Jasmine
When i got married, this was what I used:
- Annick Goutal Au d'Hadrien
