Like many other bees, I am obsessed with scents! Whenever someone doesn’t know what to purchase for me as a gift, one of the default suggestions I give is for a new perfume/body spray/etc. I know I probably sound insane, but I most certainly change up the scent that I wear depending on the time of day, the outfit I’m wearing, or the mood I’m in! I have gathered quite the collection over the years… including:
Victoria’s Secret PINK : This was one of the first perfumes I ever bought back in high school. Awwww. I love how fun and playful it is. It has been one of my go-tos for a sunny and happy day.
Lacoste Inspiration : This particular scent reminds me of baby powder. It is extremely light. I tend to wear this on the weekends when I am running around doing errands.
Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker: This is definitely one of my all time favorites! It is so feminine and floral. When I bought it, this scent quickly became my go-to perfume, and I ended up wearing it almost every day until I only had a few drops left in the bottle! It is currently on my “refill list” of perfumes I hope to be gifted if someone asks for a suggestion… haha!
Valentino Rock ‘n’ Rose Couture: Ohhhh this one is just so incredibly sexy! It is my “night time” scent for an evening out. And… the bottle is just gorgeous, no?
L.A.M.B.: Gwen Stefani’s fragrance was my replacement for Lovely when I started running low… it is a fantastic “everyday” scent… it isn’t quite as floral as Lovely, but I absolutely can’t get enough of it!
OK, so clearly I have an arsenal of fragrances (and this isn’t the complete list, sadly…), but which one do you end up wearing on a wedding day???? What a conundrum! I was talking to Mr. Buttons about it a month or so ago, and mentioned that it would be really awesome to select a new scent to wear on the day of the wedding… and it would be really special if he picked it out as well (or at least helped me)!
Well, as it usually is with Mr. Buttons… ask and you shall receive! No… seriously… I really do have to be careful what I ask for in front of him, because HE LISTENS (***GASP!!!!***). I was oogling a bikini around my birthday last year… BAM! It arrived at my doorstep in a box. The pearl earrings I wanted? PRESTO - Valentine’s gift last year! The DSLR that I was coveting for Christmas? WHAM! My jaw dropped when I tore open the box on Christmas Day.
Valentine’s Day this year…
I die. Mr. Buttons for the win! I tell him he has to stop spoiling me, but at the same time I can’t help but glow because of all that he does for me. He listened when I was making comments one day about perfumes I was interested in, and then took a trip to the mall after work, smelled a few of my top picks, and selected Coco Mademoiselle by Chanel. And… it is a perfect bridal scent, in my opinion! It is feminine, floral, and the bottle is gorgeous! I absolutely adore it, and knowing that Mr. Buttons picked it out for me makes it that much more special! I currently have it hidden away in a drawer so I am not tempted to use it before the wedding… it smells so… darn… pretty!
Do you have your wedding day fragrance selected? Are you using one that you already have, or buying a new one to celebrate the occasion?
I’ll probably end up wearing Burberry Summer since that’s my go-to summer scent.
I currently alternate between Vera Wang and Vera Wang Princess, so I want to try her Sheer Veil or Bouquet scents for the wedding.
My mom got me Chanel No.5 as a gift and I love it, but it’s just not very “me”. I never really wear it.
what a sweet guy! Love that scent too! Still trying to find the perfect scent for my day
I have Miss Dior Cherie tucked away for the wedding.
I love the perfume Mr Buttons picked out. Good job, Mr!
So sweet of Mr. Buttons!
I’m considering letting the fiance picking out my perfume. The most I ever wear is VS Love Spell body splash, but I’ve been wanting a fragrance for a while now. He knows me so well, so we’ll see how it goes.
I totally just went through this when Sephora had their friends and family discount. I went with Philosophy’s Unconditional Love. I like Philosophy’s Falling in Love a lot and Unconditional Love is a spin off of it. Rich, warm and inviting.
That’s so nice that Mr. Buttons is listening! 
I LOVE Lacoste Inspiration but definitely want to find an awesome wedding day scent!
This is my scent! I didn’t want to alter what I smelled like on my wedding day so I wore my Coco all the way! Love it!
So sweet! I’m definitely getting a new perfume for the wedding!
I don’t plan on buying new perfume seeing as how the ones I’ve purchased years ago…. are still pretty full. I just don’t wear perfume/cologne on a daily basis.
Some scents trigger my FI’s allergies, so I’ll probably have him test what I have in my stash and see if he likes any of them.
It would be cool if you could get a photo of either your perfume bottle or you putting it on on your wedding day since perfume is so special to you. Plus the COCO is such an iconic bottle!
Aww, you just reminded me that I wore SJP Lovely on my wedding day! :o)
ooh, i love that you have a buffet of perfume from which to select for all your needs. the chanel will be classic. yay!
Awe! That is my everyday scent! It smells amazing! My FH picked out my bridal scent too! So cute of Mr. B!
Awww, love that he picked out your wedding day scent. Too cute! I’m sure the chanel will fit perfectly.
Awww, what a sweet gesture from Mr. Buttons! Thanks for reminding me I should find something special too! And now I have a list to start from
I’m wearing D&G: The One
I knew I wanted to wear it because I love the way it smells and, now after giving it a second thought, I realize the name is quite fitting too
@peachesandtulips: Mmmm I love Vera scents!!!!
@Miss Lace: He’s a keeper for sure 
@dddd89: YES! I totally plan on having a photo shoot with it…along with my jewelry, etc
@Miss Guinea Pig: Get on it woman!
I just picked out mine this weekend! Dolce & Gabbana - Rose the One.
I love Coco Chanel! I hated Chanel #5 and was scared to try this perfume but when I did it was amazing. It has such a fantastic, grown up scent. I also loved Victoria Secret Oh So Sexy. I tried it on a whim, and was constantly stopped at bars in NYC because of it by both men and women. One guy friend of mine told me that the scent was way too dangerous because it makes men want to lick a female’s neck. Take that as you may, but I guess if you want your neck licked try VS Oh So Sexy.
