ScEnt*

The always charming Mr Peacock posted 'fragrance theme' here and
I was inspired... Went to my dear mother's boudoir and
click-click-click some photos of her collection...
~take a look:
.. ...she is a collectORRR...
.
Personally I'm not big on fragrances...
But I have my own signature fragrance that I repeatedly

purchase & love for the past few years...it's my
'mood enhancer'; Amazing Grace by Philosophy.
Amazzzingly clean & fresh scent...
"...you smell so good!" instead of
" what perfume are you wearing?!"
Ohhh YESsss...I like that very much!
[...such a sucker for nice compliments~hee*]
Anyway, time for the usual eye candy:
.
Showed this new Ads to my dear Mom the other day...
She commented,
" errr... this model is showing off his armpit hair!
It's sexy...your dad is lacking in that department,
he is a Sahara Desert you know..." (MY-MY-MY!!!errr???)
Of course I replied,
"...so you prefer the thick Amazon Jungle instead of the desert scenery?!
alright, alright I get it already Mom! Mother-mother-mother...with comments like that, no wonder you have NEVER been invited to the White House formal dinner party!!!"~whahhh...
.
'Does sex really sell???'
Mom said," So is this men's or women's fragrance?
Oh dear...I don't have them yet..."
~I rest my case !!!
.
" What's your favorite* signature fragrance ???
tell me - tell me..." ~XOXO*

  4. Love the photos of the bottles. Very artistic!

    When I worked for QVC we sold Amazing Grace by the truck loads. I love that shower gel scent. A guy can use it with no problem. I've worn their Pure Grace. Very clean scent.

    My signature scent is Gio Armani. I've worn it for 9-10 years. And it never stops working its magic!

  5. Teehee. I have 4 or 5 perfumes, and that's it. But this is an admirable collection! :)

  6. haha, your mom is waaay adorable!!

    i like almost all the burberry scents. i use burberry brit sheer for the summer (it's light and refreshing, however it doesnt last long at all which is annoying) and then burberry the beat for fall (since it is a bit stronger).

  7. your mama sounds delightful! i cannot believe her collection!

    my scent: stella mccartney sheer...loooove it!

    in response to sher's comment above...sea island cotton does rock!

  8. Aqua di Roma....same compliments, you smell good, just what I wanted! :) Your mother sounds delightfully entertaining, hence why she has such a delightfully entertaining daughter, I am sure of it!

  9. I also am not a big fan of scents, but when I do put something on it is also Philosophy, but it's Love. I haven't tried Grace, but will be hitting Sephora this weekend and will have a wee sniff.

    Your mom's collection is spectacular.

    ReplyDelete
  10. Wow, that is an AMAZING collection of perfumes! I dab on a little of Aveda's #1 blend sometimes, but don't really have a signature scent.

    ReplyDelete
  11. Too funny about your mom's conversation! Thanks for stopping by :)

    have a good day!

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow your mom is too cool! I wish I had a collection like that!

    I'm always looking for new scents so maybe I will have to check out your favorite :)

  14. That is quite a collection! My signature scent is Hanae Mori...

    Love those D&G ads!

  15. I'm not big on scents at all...I like essential oils and fruity or citrusy smells. But regular perfume makes me sneeze and gag and gives me headaches..it smells so chemical. I like natural scents.

    Those photos are superb! she has TONS. holy moly.

    That's funny what your mom said...I prefer a hairy pit myself..hehe..on my man.

    And yes, I do believe sex sells...not really to me though, but prob to the average person...dunno. it must since sexy ads are everywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I so agree with you, I much prefer a scent that doesnt smell like a chemical bottled up in a designer vessel. Oh and sex definitely sells ;]

    ReplyDelete
  17. Your Mom has got to be a hoot! She's got a point though...do naked bodies sell perfume? I'm thinking phermones here ;-) I'm not a big scent wearer either but if I do wear one, it is anything from dyptique.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Your mother seems like such a character, I love it!

    I think I'm more like her though...I have a ton of perfume. I can't pick just one!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Wow your mom is amazing! I only have a few bottles but I really love Lanvin's Jeanne which is really fruity and sweet but unfortunately it doesn't last for very long.

    ReplyDelete
  20. No official scent but I do sometimes wear my mom's Chanel Allure or a little bit of Fragonard perfume I got while in France.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Same here, I love your mom! What a great mother you have! And omg, what a collection. I am so envious of such a collection. I do not own a lot of perfume, it doesn't last long enough and I hate throwing it out.

    Right now I like wearing light blue by Dolce and Gabbana. I like anything with a light, fresh scent. I used to love wearing Peony, Banana Republic stopped carrying it.:(

    Back to your mom, she really is FANTASTIC!

    Probably won't be back on the computer until the weekend - so have a wonderful rest of the week beautiful lady!

    xoxo

  22. Your Mum rocks the house!! Sex puts me off a bit actually in advertising! Am I wierd or what? My fave signature scent (at the moment) is Poison by Dior - the first one in the divine purple bottle. I'm a hopeless perfume bottle collector too!

    ReplyDelete
  23. i don't wear perfume. but sometimes people say i smell good and ask what i am wearing. usually this makes me a bit sheepish and i admit it is eau de secret (the deodorant).

    ReplyDelete
  24. Now that is SOME collection! What a lady your mum is - love her!

    My faves are anything by Gucci or Bvlgari.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Wow your mum really likes perfume!
    Whenever I've worn Narciso Rodriguez people have commented (in a good way) but I don't actually like it much myself. Also Lolita Lempicka
    Like 'em strong though, (obviously)or what's the point ?

  26. I'm allergic so I just grapefruit scented soap only

    ReplyDelete
  27. Your mom sounds nice Lenore, and I would have so much fun with that collection!! My newest obsession is Annick Goutal's 'Petite Cherie'... it has the yummiest scent ever.

  30. Love the pictures of the bottles. The ads were very hot. I don't have a particular scent that I favor. I do think sex sells.

  43. The one thing about your mom is even if she doesn't have a signature scent, you will remember her for her eccentric collection of amazing perfume bottles! SO cool!

    ReplyDelete
  44. I love your Mom's collection! My favourite perfumes tend to be Orientals. Shalimar, Coco are my two besties. I also like essential oils such as geranium and ylang ylang to wear. xx
