Smell me!

Change program muna for this blog post.

Lagi na lang kwentong nakakadepress or what nots ang laman ng blog ko lately. For a change, konting kakikayan muna.

I read somewhere in a heterosexual magazine that Male perfumes were made for Males to like, and Female perfumes were made for Females to like, so if you wanna attract the opposite sex, then you should wear perfumes meant for them to like. Meaning, kung babae ka at gusto mo makabingwit ng kelot, wear ka ng perfume na pang kelots, and vice versa. I don't know if that's true, kasi, as for me, I like wearing scents that smell and feel good on me. I wear perfume for myself and no one else, kahit pa sabihin nating after quite sometime, you get used to the scents, and won't be able to smell yourself anymore. Anyhoot, here are some of my favorite scents, in no particular order. The first part consist of male fragrances, and the second part are fragrances for women, but I lourve wearing. Almost all of them, I have owned and used in the past.

Smell me!

MALE FRAGRANCES


Cool Water by Davidoff

This reminds me of a formal, yet enchanting dinner for two, with matching candle lights and a personal violin player. When I feel a bit romantic and all dreamy, I use this for the evening. I'm sure marami ang mag aagree na ansarap sarap mo amoy amuyin pag naka Cool water ka!

Hugo Boss

Pag ka spray ko pa lang neto, I remember late night romps, sweaty sexy slammin' on the dance floor, and wild party! This has been an enduring favorite for me. I use this when I wanna feel adventurous and a little bit wild. Medyo strong nga lang sya, pero di ba nga, a Boss has to be strong and at times, overwhelming?


Freedom for Men, by Tommy Hilfiger

I love the sporty vibe of this scent. Feeling anlinis linis ko pag gamit ko to. Sporty sya pero hindi musky. Medyo citrusy sya at me konting floral hint. This is the scent I use if I feel like I'm the little boy blue sakristan mayor that I was way back then, once more. It brings back a lot of memories, perhaps my whole year as a green archer in Bacolod, kasi this was the scent I was using way back then eh. It was love at first whiff for me.


CK One By Calvin Klein

Madaming imitations na ang lumabas na cheaper alternative ng fragrance na to, which is just proof kung gaano ka best seller ang pabangong to. Meron nga pati Green Cross ng Alcologne na same ang amoy, but nothing beats the real thing ika nga. Pag naka CK One ako, feeling classic ako, and yes, very delectable. Vanilla any(CK)one?


Aspen Cologne by Coty

Hindi sya perfume. Cologne lang sya pero ambango bango talaga. Bata pa lang ako, meron na yata nito and this is such a classic scent. Lalaking lalaki, clean cool and crisp, hindi masangsang ang pagka musky nya. When I put on this perfume, feeling corpo dude ako. Add to the fact na medyo mura lang ang scent na to compared to other designer brands, kaya its a very great buy kung medyo budjei ako but still want to smell nice.

SPECIAL MENTION


Cologne by Cologne

Years back, binigyan ako ng tita ng isa kong ex ng original na cologne na ito from Cologne Germany. Shala shala lang dahil ang mahal mahal daw nito. In fairy tales naman, ambango bango nga nya. Napa exhilirating ng amoy na parang... basta di ko ma explain! Ambango talaga!


FOR WOMEN:

Gumagamit din ako ng pabangong pambabae kasi, wala lang, gusto ko ang amoy. Walang kokontra. Here are some of my favorites.


Pleasures for Women by Estee Lauder

Masarap amuyin, pang girl sya pero di masyadong murey na murey or girlalet na girlalet. Hindi rin sya amoy pokpokin or bilat na bilat. Basta, gustong gusto ko ang amoy ng pabangong to. Naiinis nga minsan ang mga little siters ko kasi nakikispray ako neto sa kanila kaya mabilis maubos. Merong version ang pleasures na panlalake at mabango din sya pero mas gusto ko pa rin ang pambabaeng version. Eh mabango sya eh. Hindi masyadong floral. Tamang sweetness lang. I love!


Romance for Women By Ralph Lauren

Niregaluhan minsan ng isang boypren (na ngayon ay ex na nya) nya ang little sister Sarah ko ng isang buong gift set ng pabangong ito. Pag naaamoy ko sa sisteraka ko to, bangung bango ako sa kanya. Tinanong ko sya minsan kung anong gamit nyang pabango. Sinabi nya sa akin na yun nga daw yun, Romance. Sabi ko ambango bango nya talaga. Parang Jasmine na ewan. Nagnanakaw nakaw ako spray nun kasi gustong gusto ko sya, at nagagalit nga ang sisteraka kasi bigay nga ni jowa. Then one time, mega give ni sisteraka ang buong gift box set sa akin. In fairytopia, meron pang isang maliit na bote dun at hindi pa naman nangangalahati ang malaking bote ng perfume. Meron ding body wash at lotion ang set. Yun pala, break na sila ni jowa at ayaw na ni sisteraka maalala. Malas nya, swerte ko! Hekhekhek. Meron ding male version nito which is Silver Romance, pero mas bet ko pa din tong pambabae. Basta, pag feeling flirty flirty ako, I use this. Tinitipid tipid ko nga eh.

Dream Angels By Victoria's Secret

Nung nanghahalungkat ako sa mga ka girlaletan na padala ng ate galing estateys, nanotice ko tong parang gift box set ng perfumes na maliliit na bottles at merong case kung saan mo ilalagay ang napili mong parang sampler bottle kaliit na perfume. Iba iba syang scents, anim yata yun or lima. Mabango naman lahat, pero favorite ko yung Halo na scent. Girly girly nga lang sya pero in fairness, feeling angel ka nga naman talaga sa line ng perfumes na to from Sikretong Malufet ni Becki! Inaabangan ko nga kung meron ulit yung mga little sisterettes ko at nang makanenok ulit hehehehe.



Happy Heart By Clinique

Fan na ako ng Clinique Happy for Women. Kahit pambabae sya, merong konting hint of musk ako na naaamoy. Pero nung lumabas ang Happy Heart, I fell in love with it. Kesehodang pang murey sya! Nung Christmas Last last year, ito talaga ang pinabili kong pabango sa ate ko nung nag padala sya ng mga regalo dito. I love the funky smell of this fragrance. Bagay pati sya sa Body Chemistry ko kasi pag naaamoy ako ng mga friends ko na girlalettes na mahilig din sa perfumes, naiiba daw ang amoy when I'm wearing it.

Shania Twain By Stetson

Sa mga box ng sister in law ko nung umuwi sila dito ng kuya ko last year, madaming mga ka girlaletan as usual. Ang mga little sisters ko naman, apaw apaw sa mga pabango at mga ka cologne-nan. Isa ito sa mga pabangong dedma nila. Wiz nila feel. Nung tinry ko ispray, nagustuhan ko sya. Alam ko na kumbakit ayaw nila sa pabangong to. Me naaamoy kasi akong musky tones at parang hint ng tobacco at medyo parang merong notes of bergamot. I like! Napaka western/country ng dating. Cowgirl ang drama! Syempre dahil reject ng mga sisteraka, akin na lang. Hehehehehe

SPECIAL MENTION


Body Mist Collection from Victoria's Secret

Walang babaeng hindi naloloka sa Body Mist Collection ng Victoria's Secret, pati Victoria's Secret Garden. Ang mga little sisters ko, halos kumpleto na lahat ng scents at halos ipaligo na ang mga pabangong ito. Syempre dahil nakikiusyoso din naman ako, nakakapag spray din naman ako ng mga to, at me paborito din naman sa series na to. Aktwali madami akong gusto sa series. Secret Crush, Passionate Kisses, Strawberries and Cream, Pure Seduction, pati yung limited edition na Grapefruit Kiss. Sabi nga ng ex ko na si Baboy, magkasing amoy daw kami ng little sister nya dahil gumagamit din ng VS Body Mist si failed sister-in-law to be. Pero ang pinaka peborit ko sa lahat at halos makipag agawan ako sa mga little sisters ko ay ito.


Sweet Temptation

Para talaga syang temptation! Amoy temptatrix talaga pag inispray mo. Kikay na kikay! Hehehehe... And not to forget na pink na pink talaga ang kulay ng body mist na to. Baklush na baklush! Hehehehehe...



Body Splash by Bath and Body Works

Ito namang series na to, para rin syang Body Mist ng Victoria's Secret. Iba lang ang theme neto. Nature nature eklat ang drama. Mga bulaklak, prutas at kung ano ano pang kaeklatan naman. Madami dami na rin ankong nasubukan sa series na to. Merong cinamon ek ek, warm vanilla sugar, pear berry, pink grapefruit, plumeria, cherry blossoms, pineapple, ginger tea, night blooming jasmine etc etc. Maganda naman sya. Not as sweet as some of the VS sprays and not as girly girlylette. Although meron namang parang lalanggamin ka na sa tamis. So far ang paborito ko sa series na ito ay this one.



Cucumber Melon from Bath and Body Works

Napaka refreshing naman kasi ng amoy. Parang ang sarap sarap mong lantakan. I love this scent!

Mabango rin ang selection from Zen Zest at ok na ok kung talagang budjei na budjei ka na.
Pwede na rin ang Johnson's Baby Cologne na Heaven.

Pero ang super winner talaga na pang kurips at budjei na budjei na pabango!

BABYFLO GREEN TEA COLOGNE o di kaya yung Watermelon. In fairness ha! I swear. Mabango sya kahit mura lang, yun nga lang it doesn't stay long.
