The always charming Mr Peacock posted 'fragrance theme' here andI 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...
'Does sex really sell???'

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*

It's official. I love your mom :)
Hell yeah, sex sells.
Your Mom is too cute!
My signature scents are:
Chanel #5 in the fall winter.
Hypnose - summer
Bath and body works Sea Island Cotton. (but have been told I smell like fabric softener :[ )
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!
Teehee. I have 4 or 5 perfumes, and that's it. But this is an admirable collection! :)
Greetings,
poet
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).
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!
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!
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.
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.
Too funny about your mom's conversation! Thanks for stopping by :)
have a good day!
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 :)
Parfumes are my best friends! Hehe! :-)
X★X★
That is quite a collection! My signature scent is Hanae Mori...
Love those D&G ads!
xoxox,
CC
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.
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 ;]
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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!
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).
Now that is SOME collection! What a lady your mum is - love her!
My faves are anything by Gucci or Bvlgari.
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 ?
I'm allergic so I just grapefruit scented soap only
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.
Your Mom is adorable!
I'm loving Miss Dior this week :)
Your Mom seems FABULOUS. Just like you.
Amazing Grace is fabulous as well!! ohhhhh I bet you smell deeelish!
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.
WOW, that's quite a collection! I'm wearing the new chloe parfum these days, absolutely love it.
BTW, I have a little giveaway over at my blog, hope you enter!
I don't wear perfume my scent is white tea soap.
I don´t have any - but I love the smell of nature, I mean mother nature (smile...)
Love you post ;-)
i lovee how sweet the chloe one smells, but i guess my signature scent is narciso rodriguez and the green chanel chance :) i adore them! :D
You have a very great blog :)
Continue in the same spirit. I started reading your blog :)
What a collection! My favorite is Guerlain's Mitsouko - does something for me which is, I suppose, the whole point of scent!!
Lovely post!
xxLOL LOLA:)
Your mom *is* fabulous...first the collages, now this! I would kill for that enormous bottle of Ysatis.
Your mom is fabulous!! I like Cherry Blossom by Guerlain combined with Laura Mercier's almond coconut lotion and I also wear this hibiscus perfume I found in hawaii years ago. I want to smell delicious and edible never like perfume.
xoxo
your mom is tip-top! and of course hairy men are sexy....
my fragance since 9-10 years "Gio" (Not acqua di Gio) and nowadays it is difficult to find..... but in summer I don't use any... because I use a lemon-bio deo with non tested in animals (yeeeeees I am one of these..)
Love your post anyway!
#1. Sex does sell
#2. You make me laugh
#3. Is your mother my mother's long lost twin?! Loving her ♥
Thank you everyone!
My MOM is truly special...& smell delicious, sometimes overpowering!
...I'm so blessed*
~Kissesss*
your mom is adorable. i don't have a signature fragrance b/c i don't wear one or any for that matter. i wonder if i smell?!
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!
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
I love all the perfume bottles! Great pics!
a lot of perfumes myself, new and vintage, mostly from ebay. my fave oldie is Sacre by Caron
