It would be much appreciated. <br />Diorella is such an elegant, effortless choice!

I adore Chanel No. 5 and want that to be one of them.<br /><br />I thought the facts you listed about Diorella are fascinating. I used to work in the Dior office where I live and often listen in on the fragrance trainings as they were so interesting. I never knew this about Diorella though. It's such a difference fragrance, it really does have that je ne sais quoi.<br /><br />I could swear I left a comment here when you first posted. I've had a few comments disappear recently.

But Diorella has a lovely citrus undertone. What a shame we are not close enough to take our shopping trip together. One day maybe!Vannessa@Luxuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004543876391503184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-35279745375406113802010-09-18T08:55:55.558-07:002010-09-18T08:55:55.558-07:00Wow! great comments.

Very interesting to see that quite a few of you are allergic to scents.<br />I'm finding this post really interesting as it's giving lots of ideas for my "Santa List". I can never think quick enough when someone asks me what I would like.<br />@Karla-I love Allure also, but have never tried J'Adore; so will add that to my list.<br />@Elisa and Karla-have your tried L'Occitane? I'm not sure natural thy are, but I know they use essential oils etc. I bought a fab one this summer that is so gorgeous and fresh (plus I keep it in the fridge!)<br />@Elisa-great to see you here!Vannessa@Luxuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004543876391503184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-69288041044797608472010-09-17T07:59:48.148-07:002010-09-17T07:59:48.148-07:00Hi Vanessa!

That sounds like an interesting scent, I'll have to check it out. :)<br /><br />I'm allergic to most synthetic soaps and perfumes as Elisa mentioned above, which is why I also use the Pacifica brand. My favorite is Tahitian Gardenia. <br /><br />My signature scent for a long time was Allure by Chanel, then several years later I started wearing J'adore by Dior-love them both still to this day. I've never been a fan of heavy scents or really floral fragrances which usually give me a headache. <br /><br />I still have a couple of bottles of 'regular' perfume which I way on special occasions. When I'm at home I usually wear none or spritz some of my natural perfume. My hubby has a hard time with fragrances too-his own cologne makes him sneeze. LOL. It smells great but the chemicals really get to him.<br /><br />Thanks for always stopping by to say hello. :)<br /><br />xo<br />KarlaKarla@TheClassyWomanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935511162489436043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-36159753929276276832010-09-17T01:35:56.912-07:002010-09-17T01:35:56.912-07:00I am allergic to synthetic fragrance, so most conv...I am allergic to synthetic fragrance, so most conventional fragrances are off-limits for me.<br /><br />I do, however, love selecting the best-smelling natural and organic shower gels, usually ones with citrus notes - and I enjoy some of the natural, essential-oil based fragrances, like the ones by Pacifica.Elisa @ Globetrotting in Heelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920820564549246339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-61031448539187144242010-09-16T19:06:02.948-07:002010-09-16T19:06:02.948-07:00Now I have to go try Diorella.

I wore Opium for a long time and then switched off to a few others for a few years. Then went back to it. I find it's kind of mysterious and spicy. Some really strong floral perfumes give me a headache. I also like classics like Chanel No. 5. I've been feeling like a perfume shopping trip is coming up soon ... in that mood, you know? xoSandy at Ooh La Frou Frouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264245559729663977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-40452588696010724892010-09-16T06:48:53.559-07:002010-09-16T06:48:53.559-07:00Hi Shannon

I really don't know why either. This is definitely going to be my next buy, altho' I had planned to buy Euphoria by Calvin Klein as an alternative. There was a promotion page in a glossy mag, and it smelled gorgeous.Although I must say Calvin Klein fragrances don't seem to have must staying power.Vannessa@Luxuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004543876391503184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-16090684543054888192010-09-15T07:19:21.193-07:002010-09-15T07:19:21.193-07:00How interesting.

As far as scents go, as much as I want to only have one, I find that to be impossible because there are too many lovely ones out there. Chanel No. 5 is my go to though, it exudes confidence, assurance, yet just a touch of a mysterious feminine scent. <br />Having just discovered Chloe yesterday however, I may have to include that in my daily routine as well. :) <br />Love the post. And thank you for including my button and for your visits.

Perhaps it's more a summer fragrance than winter, but I wear it all year round.<br />When I go out in the evening, "sometimes" I might wear something a little heavier, like 'Cinema' by YSL, or Armani Code by Armani (if I'm feeling adventurous!).Vannessa@Luxuriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004543876391503184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-84599646929373339202010-09-14T14:17:07.878-07:002010-09-14T14:17:07.878-07:00I use BVLGARI when I go out and a Joe Malone (Ambe...I use BVLGARI when I go out and a Joe Malone (Amber and Lavander or Wild Fig Cassis). Sometimes I will add a tiny spray of the Malone to a tiny spray of BVLGARI to make it a bit gentler. <br />Adrienne gave me a sample of the Hermes and I must say, when I run out of the BVLGARI that is what I will get!BODECI bodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17178281929708245904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-69239688608730466802010-09-14T11:32:49.248-07:002010-09-14T11:32:49.248-07:00Vanessa,

Currently, I have seven fragrances, but only wear three of them consistently: <br /><br />Eau des Merveilles by Hermes<br />Parisienne by YSL<br />Artemisia by Penhaligon's<br /><br />I bought Artemisia the first time I went to Paris. Whenever I wear it, I think of my stay. I get many compliments on Parisienne. I think the scent wears nicely on me. And I never tire of Merveilles. <br /><br />I don't know if I want to pare down to just one scent. I like when I wear a fragrance I haven't worn in some time, and suddenly I'm transported back to a different time in my life. Does that ever happen anyone else? <br /><br />AdrienneAdrienne Shubinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05826463555838820028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-688374863488035047.post-40146014225253508652010-09-14T11:30:00.373-07:002010-09-14T11:30:00.373-07:00I have a few scents I wear in different seasons......I have a few scents I wear in different seasons...with my life right now tho I dont often wear big, bold heavy scents...mostly Grace and Heavenly Angels lolSuburban Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08229769705478339351noreply@blogger.com
