I wrote about it here...

It's amazing.
I don't wear perfume all that often but I like to spray it on my clothes and other belongings sometimes.
The praline scent was something I fell in love with when I was staying at the Paris Hilton (Arc de Triomphe) in 2009.
I think it was a soap scent in the bathroom.
I didn't find this perfume til 2016 though...
There was a waitress in an Italian restaurant I was at and my introverted ass caught a whiff and had the balls to stop her busy ass and ask her what scent she was wearing!
Bless her sweet little heart for telling me, I'd have never found out otherwise!

I'm sure all those celebtard fragrances are under contract and they can probably never make them again after the first releases.
Which suuuuucks.
There are some perfumes that should just be made indefinitely and perpetually, and that is definitely one of them.

Most of those celeb perfume lines are just for $$$/publicity and are total bullshit, but they gave Katy Perry the absolute best.

A lot of people hate perfume/cologne in general... I can totally understand the rules against scents in some workplaces and stuff like that, it's not cool to set off allergies in your coworkers or customers.
Other than that I think perfume/cologne haters are kind of annoying.
That bottle looks weaponized if needed

Yeah the bottle is totally gorgeous and kind of sexy.
I love the way it looks.
I have two big bottles and one of the small bottles because it's just so cute.

Avon's Butterfly (1996) is really my all time favorite perfume...
I found it at a flea market in 1999, I was so stoked that my parents bought it for me.
I absolutely loved it and used the whole bottle and intended to keep the bottle forever, but sometimes life has other plans.
I've bought it several times from eBay but unfortunately time does take its toll on these scents, not that I would never use it again...
But I think that Killer Queen is a better adult scent. I'll save my bottles of Butterfly for when I want a time machine to 1999 ;)

Scent is the strongest tie to memory and this is what Butterfly sounds like...

Those songs are from the "Dick" (1999) soundtrack...

So it's like even if you weren't alive in the '70s, they always bring stuff back around when the cosmic 'calendar' kinda calls for it and falls along that same groove...
All these years later I still think that's one of the greatest damn soundtracks of all time.

As far as other perfume/cologne...
Gotta say, there's absolutely nothing else I even like when it comes to womens' perfume, those are literally the only two.
Now I do like some scents available from places like WalMart, there are a few decent ones.
Body Fantasies makes a couple good ones, Twilight Mist is okay. Vanilla Kiss is good.
They had another line called Sexiest Fantasies that blew their other BS scents out of the water though...
Love Struck, totally excellent. Crazy For You, epic.

Cologne...
I love Fierce by Abercrombie but that's only because it's pretty passable for a chick to wear too.
It's just your classic, douchetastic cologne.
Obsession by Calvin Klein is great too.
There are a few really legendary colognes out there.
I'd say I like way more cologne scents than perfumes.
Can't think of any more off the top of my head though.

I don't think I've ever smelled it intentionally...
I used to go to places like Ulta and smell all the scents until I felt sick lmfao!!!!!!!!!
