A woman who doesn't wear fragrance has no future - Coco Chanel
So many of you know that I worked at Costco over the past summer, but this post is in no way sponsored by them nor are they paying me to write this. Mostly I just have a peculiar but strange allegiance to them, so I often scour the warehouse for deals and sometimes end up walking out with things I don't need. Like the time I almost walked out with a white board bigger than me that was more meant for corporations than a dorm room, until Daddy stopped me. This is why I should never go shopping by myself, or my mom if we're being honest =)
Daisy Perfume, Marc Jacobs, normally $72, $45.99
I have been wanting to invest in a fragrance for a long time. I'm obviously not a diehard like Ms. Coco Chanel, rest her soul, but I think they're nice and scrumptious and smelling nice is good. You know when smelling nice is great? When designer fragrances are sold for $39.01 and $26.01 less, respectively! Honestly ladies (and men looking for fab gifts), if you were thinking of getting a new scent or running out of your fave, run on down to Costco before they sell out (yes, they really do sell out and chances are it's never coming back) of your favorite perfume and get it for a fraction of the cost.
My two picks are Juicy Couture and Daisy. I may have bought them both (once again I cannot help myself). And I may have sprayed the latter on myself a bit too much and given myself a headache, so remember with these less is often more.
They have other options as well, like M by Mariah Carey, Viva La Juicy, Angel (the one in the blue bottle by the french guy whose name I can't pronounce? Last year one of my neighbors had that), Dolce and Gabana, Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears, Deseo by Jennifer Lopez, Princess by Vera Wang, Delicious (that apple looking one), and a lot of other better and famous ones. Honestly, I just encourage you to check out their selection.
And I'm also curious to kno, what is your scent of choice?

Seems like Coco Chanel knew what she was talking about!
It's great that Costco offers perfume at a cheaper price because believe me, it does get expensive! I always wanted to be one of those women who had a glass tray on her dresser full of different perfume bottles but I could never afford it!
I recently bought a bottle of "Eternity" by Calvin Klein and I didn't really like it because the fragrance was too subtle and it felt like I wasn't wearing perfume. Wasn't worth the money!
So now I'm trying "With Love" by (don't laugh) Hillary Duff. It actually smells like a grown-up perfume so I was pleasantly surprised! I think she's starting to go after the adult market now.
Honestly girl, I love perfume but my allergies and my husband's distain for any kind of fragrance be it the perfume variety or not keeps me from buying frangrance anymore. My present perfume bottles are for decoration only.
I don't really have a favorite...I like a few different ones. The only one I can remember is Rare Pearls from Avon :D . I don't wear perfume much anyway.
My all time favorite is Beautiful by Estee Lauder. Yes, I'm old. Mike likes it too! One of the reasons I love my Sept. Vogue issue is for the perfume ads. Its giving me an idea of what my next Eau De Parfum purchase will be. I liked Michael Kors' Very Hollywood, Dior's j'dore, and Elizabeth Arden's Pretty. All wonderful! Thanks for letting me know about Costco. I never would of thought of them.
Not my son, Andrew, has a fragrance that would clear out a room. What's more, he is always willing to share it with all for free. He doesn't add any overhead costs by putting his fragrance in a bottle. He delivers it personally whether or not you request it.
So does Not Your Dad...
