any good perfume suggestions??

I don't usually wear perfumes b/c my fiance has allergies so I usually wear body sprays. But body sprays don't last all day and I need a sweet, kinda fruity perfume to last all day for our wedding. Any good suggestions???

  • I love the holy hell out of Bombshell by Victoria's Secret. Just go to the mall one day and browse around. I just have to smell it before I buy, but I only buy Bombshell now.
  • Givenchy's Hot Couture <--- men LOVE this one.  And it lasts all day long.

    "Forever Sunshine" by Bath & Body Works, not the body spray (Which, like all body sprays, fades after an hour), but the eau de toilette version. I have no idea how to describe it other than "it smells like happy".

    [QUOTE]Daisy by Marc Jacobs - haven't worn a perfume other than this one in five years :) It's sweet and flowery, but nothing too strong. Kind of a clean scent, if that makes sense. I think it'd be great for a wedding!

    <div>my favorite, too!  And I like Viktor & Rolf, flower bomb, but it's a bit strong, might irritate FI's allergies.</div>
  • What kind of allergies? My H gets hives, so I've got to be careful on many things from perfume to shampoo to what hand moisturiser I use. I bought a perfume I liked for the wedding (Pure by DKNY) and it brought him out in a rash straight away, and I had to give it to my mum.

    I'm currently using fragrance sprays from bath and body works. My favourite right now is Japanese Cherry Blossom, and it doesn't give him a reaction.
  • <3 Versace Bright Crystal, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, and Bombshell by Victoria's Secret! 
  • Very Irresistible by Givenchy has a fruity kind of summery smell
    I personally LOVE the Prada perfume (black bottle with gold top). This is my all time favorite.

  • I'm another loyal Daisy by Marc Jacobs user!

    Also love Be Delicious by DKNY. It's very fruity and fresh, and just one spray goes a long way.

    I also recommend Clinique Happy. :)

  • I like most Chanel Coco Mademoiselle.


  • I love Sara Jessica Parker's Covet. My FI gave me Beyonce's Heat and JLo's Glow. Both are nice, but I really love Covet more :)
  • Bath and body works coconut line lotion. It's cheaper than buying perfume, smells amazing and it's light

  • Oh and I have crazy allergies and it doesn't bother me

  • If you like Bath and Body Works scents, layer them. Use the bodywash, lotion, and spray, and it makes the scent last longer. It works really well with the Forever Sunshine, there's something about that scent that's just amazing. You can touch up throughout the day with the body spray. It might be a good option if you know your FI isn't allergic to that brand or scent and I'm sure will work with whatever brand you do use if it has all of the components. 

    I also find that you really need a perfum or eau de perfum to last all day. They're more expensive, but you do use less. I have perfum that has lasted 6 years because I only need one spray at a time, and another oil that refuses to fade away. The eau de toilettes do not last as well because they're much more watery and evaporate. I've also found that slightly musky scents last longer than fruity ones.

  • FI gave me Play it Sexy by Playboy for Christmas and it smells really nice.  I haven't really worn other perfume though so I don't have anything to compare it to.  All I know is that I hate most perfume, and I love this stuff.
