I do love good old fashioned Ralph ... but at the wedding I wore alabaster by Banana Republic. Hubby and I decided to do a special "wedding day" perfume/cologne. Now I wear it all the time!
Lolita Lempicka. I usually don't like perfume, but this one is really un-perfumey and unique.
Plus the bottle is super cute. I have like ten empty ones around that I just keep cause I like it:
Finished BC and not preventing since June 2010.
Actively trying for baby #1 since July 2011.
SA completed 5/29/2012. No sperm found.
11/12: Dx: Congenital Bilateral Absense of the Vas Deferens.
Genetic Testing needed as this is a mutation of Cystic Fibrosis.
IVF #1 with ICSI planned for 2013.
PAIF/SAIF welcome!
I usually either wear Provocative Woman (dumb name, but it smells awesome on me) or Victoria's Secret "Love Spell"--- the latter of which I mainly wear because my DH raves about it every time I do. Honestly, I don't even remember if I thought to put perfume on the day of my wedding. If I did, it was probably "Love Spell."
While we're talking perfume... I'm taking recommendations for new ones that don't either make me feel like a teenager (hrm... Love Spell) or an old woman. I like fruity, with a hint of musk. Any ideas?
My favorite is Michael Kors. Just the Michael kind. I will definitely wear it on wedding day. It reminds my FI of back in the day when I used to sneak into his mom's basement to see him.
My favorite is on my FI got me, Prada Beauty - Infusion d'Iris. I love it. It kind of reminds me of Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo in a way. I have recently been using Midnight Pomegranate from Bath & Body Works.
My favorite is Armani Code Woman, but it was a little too sexy for my wedding day. My go-to daytime scent is Amazing Grace, so I chose that. It can be layered, and it smells so good but not at all lotiony or perfumey.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I also use Prada Infusion d'iris! Love it!! I also like Shanghai Butterfly from nanette lepore. I wore that one on my wedding day cuz its more summery.
I have a couple: VS "Supermodel" (and you thought YOUR perfume name was dumb) Ralph Lauren Romance, and actually Bath and Body works Vanilla Bean Noel for late fall/winter.
Daytime scent - DKNY Be Delicious in Fresh Blossom! Very light and flirty, FI got it for me and he loves when I wear it!
Nighttime scent - J'adore by Dior. Super sexy and womanly
For men, in case anyone is looking for a good Xmas gift for their FI: Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme, we bought this for FI last year and it is fabulous!
Last perfume tip: if you ever want to try a scent out for a bit before you commit to it, buy it at Sephora!! They let you return anything, even if its been used.

I have a ton of favorite perfumes, I'm obsessed. FI always marvels at my perfume collection.
My current favorite is Victoria's Secret Bombshell, I just bought a travel size bottle of the body mist and a quarter of it is already gone!
My staples are Bath and Body Works Mango Mandarin & Twilight Woods. I'm not a big fan of floral scents. I imagine I'll wear either one of those on my wedding day :-)
I have a lot of favorites. My standby is Chanel Chance, but I got Versace Bright Crystal this summer and love how fresh it smells. I'm also a pushover for Burberry Sport. I got a sample in the mail of Avril Lavigne's new perfume and it is surprisingly nice. Might have to pick up one of those. Not sure which one I will be wearing for the wedding yet. Too many choices!

Yes! Also, last year DH got a me a sampler from there, with trial sizes of 12 different newer perfumes. I think it was around $50, but there was a coupon inside to get a free full-sized bottle of any perfume in the sampler.
The one I got was Pucci Aqua, I think that's what it was called. Stella Nude was a close second - I wanted to get some to wear at my wedding for the sake of wearing something different that I knew H and I both loved, but I didn't get around to it and wore the Pucci instead.
But my absolute favorite is Kenneth Cole Reaction. It smells even better on me than it does in the bottle. It's the first perfume I've loved enough to run out of and buy more.
My favorite is Pure Tiffany by Tiffany and Co. I've been wearing it for years and it gives me an excuse to go into the shop. I also wear Bulgari Blu, which was discontinued but recently brough back into rotation. I like perfumes that smell really clean and/or fruity. I can't stand floral scents - too heady for me.
FI wears Tuscany when I can get him to remember. It smells fantastic on him and reminds me of our first date.
