recommend me a perfume: 135 posts

Happy Holidays! I’m going to take a Christmas break and will return on Thursday.  Meanwhile, our bi-weekly “Recommend Me a Perfume” is here today.  You can also use this space to ask any fragrance related questions.

How does it work: Please post your requests or questions as comments here. To receive recommendations that are better tailored to your tastes, you can include details on what you like and don’t like, your signature perfumes, and your budget. Then please check the thread to see if there are other requests you can answer.

To make this thread easier to read, when you reply to someone, please click on the blue“reply” link under their comment.

Contest: everyone who answers a fragrance recommendation request will be entered into the draw for 2 sets of three samples of your choice (should be available at Luckyscent). The winners are Leah and Jillie.

The recommendations you give help us navigate the fragrance counter easier, so thank you to everyone who participates.

The first round of perfume recommendations was a lot of fun! Many of you asked for “Recommend Me a Perfume” to become a regular feature, and I’m happy to add it. So, every other week on Saturday I will run a thread for perfume recommendations.  You can also use this space to ask questions: where to find a particular perfume, how to make decants, etc.

How it works: please post your requests as comments here. To receive recommendations that are better tailored to your tastes, you can include details on what you like and don’t like, your signature perfumes, and your budget. Then check the thread to see if there are other requests you can answer.

The perfume counter can be confusing and intimidating even to the most experienced perfume lovers, so having your advice is very helpful!

I receive quite a few emails every day asking me to recommend a perfume, and today I thought that it would be more fun if those who would like a perfume recommendation could post their requests  as comments in this thread. I encourage everyone else to reply to the comments and recommend fragrances that you think would be suitable. Or answer someone else’s burning perfume questions.

The contest for 3 samples is closed (I will announce the winner next week), but please continue giving your recommendations–there are several interesting requests towards the bottom of the thread!

Those who *want a recommendation* should wait till the next week for another round of this fun game. Thank you for participating!

So, let’s play!
