Some more to try that might fit the bill (if they weren't in the 50 you already tried!) are Nanette Lepore, and Marc Jacobs Lola. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-379917 Thu, 07 Jul 2011 07:07:22 +0000 chewyspaghetti 379917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Update:<br /> I must have smelled about 50 different things. They didn't have most of what was suggested, but at least it gave me a place to start. I like the Hanae Mori Butterfly- I tried that, Diesel Plus Plus Feminine, and one other- none of which The Hubs liked. The Diesel just didn't last on me, and the others he complained were too musky and sandalwoody. Those are two of my favorite scents. *sigh*<br /> So, it's back to the drawing board. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-379382 Wed, 06 Jul 2011 17:00:01 +0000 chewyspaghetti 379382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks so much!<br /> I am going to try and hit the perfume store at the mall tonight, and I am taking your suggestions with me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-378433 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 23:07:23 +0000 Anonymous 378433@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like spicy, exotic fragrance.

Happy to Be is my fave, but discontinued, or at least out of season for now :(</p> <p>They are all citrusy but I think Happy Heart may have a bit stronger or more exotic scents. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-378423 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 22:34:11 +0000 bella 378423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shi by Alfred Sung.<br /> The best part is I can always find a bottle at Marshalls or TJ Maxx, so it becomes pretty affordable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-378417 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 22:27:43 +0000 Lisa 378417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wear clinique happy in the summer months. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377945 Mon, 04 Jul 2011 02:56:22 +0000 rae 377945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have and enjoy Hanae Mori as well.

I also like Alfred Sung Paradise, Fresh Sugar Lemon, and Issey Miyake. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377874 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 21:28:06 +0000 Scarlet 377874@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anais Anais is one of my favorites. Floral but subtle. Not sure if it would be exotic enough for you though. Give it a try next time.</p> <p>ETA: Giorgio has a new summer scent out. I have a sample somewhere but I can't find it. Lancome also has a new trio out I believe. Don't know if they are any good, but just some leads to look out for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377868 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 21:05:02 +0000 Anonymous 377868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try scents by Jo Malone or Philosophy. They're usually lighter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377850 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 19:10:52 +0000 Ornella 377850@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny, I just returned from shopping when I came across the perfume I used to wear many years ago (10?) Guerlain Pamplelune. I'm seriously thinking of going back to it, but I'm on a self-imposed perfume shopping ban until I use up my current one.</p> <p>Pampleune is just one of Guerlain's wonderful line <a href="http://www.guerlain.com/int/en/base.html#/en/home-parfum/catalogue-parfums/women-fragrances/parfum-aqua-allegoria-page-gamme">Aqua Allegoria</a>, they are all floral and/or fruity, very fresh perfumes. Perhaps check one of them? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377832 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 18:21:26 +0000 Irene 377832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfume tastes are so... subjective. I'm not a fan of perfume, but there are three I actually like:</p> <p>Mademoiselle Coco<br /> Be Delicious (both regular and RED, which is the one I own... it's sweeter)<br /> And l'Emperatrice (by D&amp;G), it actually smells like apple </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377807 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:41:22 +0000 DressLover 377807@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you should check out Issey Miyake L'eau d'Issey, both the regular version and summer version. The regular L'eau d'Issey is a marriage of oriental/woods/musk with light florals. The summer version leans a little more floral and has a more "watery" smelling quality to it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377806 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 17:39:46 +0000 chewyspaghetti 377806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are three that I haven't smelled before, so I will have to start a list.

It gets listed as a men's frag a lot for some unfathomable reason, but it's def. sweet and feminine IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377776 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 16:54:50 +0000 Kari 377776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Too bad that your son was bothered by Burberry Brit - I love that scent. Usually in the spring/summer months, my personal favorite is Sparrow by Tokyo Milk. (It smells better once on my body than it does in the bottle.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/summer-daytime-fragrances#post-377775 Sun, 03 Jul 2011 16:52:18 +0000 chewyspaghetti 377775@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There have been several threads about favorite fragrances, but I am looking for something new that will be light enough for our super hot summer, exotic enough for my tastes (I like all kinds of orientals best), sweet and floral enough for my husband's tastes (he likes a super fem scent best), and won't cause my son's allergies to flare up. It's a tall order! The hubs and I both like Calvin Klein Euphoria, but it does make my son's allergies act up- and it's too heavy for summertime and everyday. I tried Burberry Brit the other day. The Hubs and I both really liked it- but it made Wonder Teen's nose twitch. We also liked Viktor and Rolph's Flowerbomb, but it doesn't last on me. I like Lolita Lempicka, but it's too spicy for The Hubs, and I also like Daisy Fuentes Mysterio but The Hubs is just lukewarm on it. I saw Anais Anais and thought I should try that, but I ran out of places to spritz. Of course, we will only know if it bothers Wonder Teen when he can actually smell it.<br /> Does anyone have any recommendations? </p>
