10 favorite perfumes

The dog days of August! whew. I can't even take the camera outside because the lenses fog. My house windows are fogged! And my ankles are covered with mosquito bites.

BUT!! There is respite in a cooling shower and a refreshing perfume. Feel human again! Here are my ten perfume choices (in no particular order) to lighten up these dog days of summer:

So many picks for Divine Bergamot!

I shan't share my opinion on Stella, as I think you might decide I am tasteless and horrible.

I love the idea of CdG's carnation as cooling - I always think of carnation as being so warm.

You know I am dying to try the Shared Water alread *ahem*, and your review of it earlier was particularly lovely.

Guilty giggle!! I have it all packaged up and ready to go straight to you, missy! ((((HUGS)))) It shall fly to you tomorrow!

IMO the CdG Carnation is cool but I find Floris Malmaison to be a warm carnation. A very icy carnation: JAR Diamond Waters. I would have listed it but it's just too hard to find (and expensive to buy).

*ding ding* We have two matches!

Hi L! In answer to your question, *whisper* yes, I think it is a LOT like that. xoxo

Oh I just love Carthusia Mediterraneo, I just wish it lasted longer on me!

POTL is so perfect in any weather, that was one that pained me to leave off. The EDT is quite perfect for summer nights out here!

I also love CDG's Carnation, perhaps I'll cave on a bottle for fall as it's quite warm on me.

Hi-hi! =) The Carthusia sounds really wonderful! And I have a sample of the POTL, I need to dig it up and give it a whirl!! =) And after today, Divine Bergamote has just jumped to No. 1 on the lemming-list!

Hi,

Some in the list I'm not familiar with, and some like Pheromone Perfume are not in there. But I'm going to try them out come "dog days of summer" anyway!
