sisitito01: Hehehe. Me and fragrances. I love smelling nice. There's this confidence it gives you. The koko is buying original, designer or not.
I haven't used a lot of perfumes in my life but my mother is a perfume person so I borrow from her when she's feeling very generous because she'll never gift you or let you use her perfumes.
I'm not exactly particular about brands except Nivea roll-on because I'm still exploring scents.
Sha, I use any of the Nivea roll-ons for my deodorant but I really like the Pearl&Beauty and Pure Energy scents. I'm using Dry Comfort right now. P.S If anybody works with Nivea here, call me. We're loyal to Nivea in my house. I use Old Spice Original when I'm feeling rich and I actually have the money to feel rich. I've not used Old Spice this year sha. It is well.
Then for deodorant spray, I use any Rexona (the last one I used was Tropical and I liked it) or Dove Go Fresh, Cucumber and Green Tea scent.
I don't have a regular body spray right now but I used to use anything from Smart Collections. I think I'll try Riggs next when I have money. One of my roommates uses it and it smells nice though I don't know which fragrance. It's the black can.
For body mist, right now I'm using one Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath & Body Works that my mother gave to me. I like the scent but it doesn't last. Either that or it's nose fatigue that is doing me. The bottle is almost finished. I can't seem to remember any other one I've used in the past right now.
For perfume, I'm using Red Door by Elizabeth Arden which was given to me by my mother. I absolutely love the scent. It smells so "mature". I left it at home sha and I'm still so annoyed at myself for that. I'm sure my mother would have taken it. I also use Cece Madonna which I got from a birthday party pack I attended in October. It's just there. It doesn't last or maybe it's my nose. It lasts on my clothes sha but I like to smell my perfume all day long.
I also have one "Creed Aventus" perfume oil I bought from one babe just to patronise her. I hardly use it because Creed Aventus for 500 naira is a joke. It actually smells nice o. I don't know what the actual Creed Aventus smells like so I can't compare.
That thing about male scents being nicer than female scents, I don't know. I honestly like their scents but I like female scents too. I like floral scents. I don't like fruity scents. Yeah. Smelling good is good business, Sisi.  I have also used the Dove Go Fresh, Cucumber and Green Tea type. It really is nice. Trust me, Riggs is really nice. I currently use it and it lasts long. Elizabeth Arden perfumes are for the mature at heart. Your mum sabi.  |

Teespice: For Roll on I use Dove (not the stick) Body mist I use Victoria Secrets Perfume its Eskoda.
Then into the Victoria Secrets, I mix with perfume oil. Nice one Teespice. Thank you for the feedback. Seems we all love Victoria Secrets brand.  |

cococandy: Girl, We can’t talk about fragrances around me. I have a problem. I can’t list all I specifically use because it changes daily. But BR540 by MFK, Black orchid by Tomford, Angels’ Share by Kilian Paris and Alien by Mugler are usually always in my collection regardless of whatever else I buy, I still go back to them. I hope you like them If you try any of them.
As per general suggestions, anything from Chanel, Dior, Armani and Tom Ford are good designer choices if you are into designer brands.
But if you’re a fragrance snob, you can look into Maison Francis Kurkjian and Kilian Paris. They are not designer. Frag head’s usually rate their products more long lasting than designer products.
When it comes to drug store brands, Victoria’s secret and Bath & body works are some of the few that have amassed a lot of loyalty because of the variety, affordability and quality of their products. And during the holidays, they bring new holiday products as well. There’s always so much to choose from between these last two brands. Excellent choices, Coco. Thank you for your feedback. |

Magnoliaa: You're welcome. 
Happy New Month too!
I was even going to mention this thread to you, say, how far o? We don forget am? 
As for perfumes, I don't have one particular brand I stick to...
I used to have a favourite, but I've never been find it again. It's been a long while I used it, like since I was a kid and I liked it's smell then and promised myself to make it my no. 1, but I've forgotten its name. 
After that, the second best I'll somewhat recommend is 24K. It's for men, apparently, but I nor care. 
So that may not suit someone else...
I was this close to starting a perfume business and distributing it to people all around me, lol. They loved it so much.
Then for the feminine one, I once used Pure Love and it was really nice.
Body mist- Imperio 101 and LO-VE.
Deodorant- old, classic Nivea and Gillette...
What else?
Okay, I think that's all.
But outside those sha, I use different scents indiscriminately like an .........., lmao, when one is finished. Hahahahaha. I nor forget this thread oh. I've not really had chance actually. It was even ahnie that reminded me that we've not updated this thread for a while now.  Hmm. I've seen that 24K brand before. I will check it out when next I see it. Lol. Some of my friends use men's perfume because to them, it is longlasting. But anyone wey you like, na your choice na. Hahaha. You for start the business na.  dollyjoy does perfume business and she's doing so well at it. I haven't seen Pure Love before. I'd read the reviews online. Seen Imperio. I don't know why you people like Nivea oh.  |
