Kimberly says:
I LOVE Lilacs. Growing up I had a huge Lilac bush just outside my bedroom window. When they were in full bloom my room smelled heavenly. Not to mention I LOVE the color. Whenever I smell Lilacs now I think back to my childhood and how very special their scent meant to me. I would plant Lilac bushes in a heartbeat if I could but I don’t have a yard. Some day I hope (and pray) to have a house with a yard where I intend to plant Lilac bushes outside my bedroom window and my kid’s bedroom windows so they can have special childhood memories associated with their scent too.
Thank you for your most generous offer.

Kitty Fisher says:
Acqua di Parma because it is so evoccative of Hollywoods Golden Era and it yet it is so timeless.
It makes me think of Cary Grant in An Affair To Remember, sailing around the Mediterranean, looking glamorous, falling in love, following your dreams…sigh… it’s a beautiful thing.
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:10 pm
Katja of Skimbaco says:
I love the scent of the lily-of-the-valley. It’s my favorite flower, we had a lot of them growing on the yard when I grew up and they bring back warm memories, especially of my grandmother, who would always have them in a vase. I would love to win this, I haven’t had any perfume for a long time.
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:17 pm
PHYLLIS KIKLIS says:
I love woodsy scents, damp leaves, rich earth, rain, moss, resins. Transports me to a past life in Sherwood forest.

April 22nd, 2008 at 5:39 pm

Carol says:
I love Freesia, especially because my husband always buys me scented things of Freesia.
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:44 pm
Liviania says:
My favorite scent is vanilla - it’s simple, sweet (without being overpowering), young, and comforting. Also, it’s easy to coordinate with another scent without clashing.
My second favorite scent is mint - refreshing and nose-catching! (I only wear a little bit, but that little bit always brightens my day.)
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:53 pm
kristen says:
I love the scent of cinnamon because it smells comforting. I just don’t like it in perfumes. For that I love the scent of lily of the valley because it’s a little freesh and a little unexpected
April 22nd, 2008 at 5:57 pm
Lesha says:
I love the smell of ylang ylang. It smells so good!
April 22nd, 2008 at 6:04 pm

My favorite scent is sweet olive. There was a sweet olive tree outside my window when I was little, so it’s a comforting, nostalgic scent.
April 22nd, 2008 at 6:07 pm
Christie says:
What a cool site! And what a wonderful giveaway! I have a hard time sticking to one scent… my current three favorites are: JLo Live, because it has such a deep musky smell while still being incredibly feminine; Bath and Body works French Vanilla - the old classic scent, I love the fresh sweetness!; and last but not least, B&BW Pomegranete Martini - it’s discontinued, but the smell is amazing! It’s a light, fruity, flirty smell!
April 22nd, 2008 at 6:09 pm
kate says:
I love lavender and I am not an old lady. I don’t know why I love it.
April 22nd, 2008 at 6:16 pm

April 22nd, 2008 at 6:38 pm

I love the smell of Gardenias because they remind me of my Grandma’s house. Also, I know this isn’t really a perfume scent, but I love the smell of rain on the pavement-probably because I grew up in Seattle!
April 22nd, 2008 at 6:45 pm
Betsy says:

April 22nd, 2008 at 7:38 pm

April 22nd, 2008 at 7:42 pm
Peggi Coolidge says:
I love the scent called Sugar Pie from Woobie. It is a combination of vanilla and sugar, which you would think would be too sweet, but it’s just right. I recently went through a rough time, and if I even opened the perfume, it calmed me down. I would use the lotion at night to help me sleep, also.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:01 pm
Cathy M says:
I love the scent of lemons, always lifts my spirits.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:11 pm
Milk Mama says:

April 22nd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
Arwen says:
My favorite scent is blue spruce. It isn’t as sharp as pine but it is still a green scent which I adore. It reminds me of walking through the piney woods of north Louisiana where I grew up.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:49 pm
Mama Zen says:
I love deep, rich, sweet scents. I’ve never been a fan of floral scents. Many seem acrid to me.
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:55 pm
Dani' says:
I love Vanilla but not synthetic perfumey vanilla, real rich vanilla bean vanilla. I even used to wear vanilla extract as perfume when I was a teenager. I love vanilla because it has a sweet warm smell that reminds me of baking and..it makes me happy!
April 22nd, 2008 at 8:59 pm
Shane says:
I like the deep smell of musk.

April 22nd, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Monica says:
My favorite commercial fragrance is “Michael” by Michael Kors. The first time I smelled in in Nordstrom as I walked by one of their employees. I did a u-turn and followed my nose until I reached the person wearing it. I first complimented her fragrance and then asked her what it was. I’m now the person people do u-turns for! People are ALWAYS asking me what fragrance I’m wearing and telling me that I smell scrumptious! It’s a very sexy and bold fragrance that actually wears nicely all day and carries well into the evening. P.S. - I signed up for your newsletter! More points, Baby!
April 22nd, 2008 at 10:32 pm
Tanja says:
I love the scent of the ocean - standing on a cliff, the salty breeze, sun on rock and warm skin. It reminds me of San Diego, the place where I long to be.
April 22nd, 2008 at 11:26 pm
M.A. says:
Vanilla, because it seems sweet and sugary. I am not too well-versed about fragrances and would love to someday learn more!
April 22nd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
Rose says:
Honeysuckle or Jasmine. It reminds me of my honeymoon all those years ago with large bushes hanging over the rail of our patio in Florida.
In the soft ocean night air the jasmine was so romantic and mixed with the honeysuckle vines growing everywhere it was awesome.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:14 am
Hannah B. says:
The scent of gardenia is my favorite because it was my mother’s favorite flower and we always gave her gardenia plants.

April 23rd, 2008 at 7:16 am
Bea says:
Woohoo! How fun is this? ok, I signed up for your newsletter

I love Matin Calin - it’s foody and warm and wonderful and comforting. It sort of smells like condensed milk, and makes me think of cooking with my mom when I was younger. And dang it, I’m already subscribed to the newsletter, so I can’t subscribe again! LOL
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:06 am

Michelle J says:
Count me among the lovers of the ocean breeze. It sends me back to simpler times - relaxation, peace, warm breezes. It just signals that I’m in a place where I can forget all of my worries for a few days.
I believe that I’ve been on your mailing list for a while now, but I’ll register again.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:57 am
Theresa Shafer says:
violets. First scent I fell in love with. Turns out grandma’s sister was named Violet. I then wore violets in my hair in high school. (flower child in the 70’s) When I can find violet perfume, soap, lotion, I used to buy. I have a stock pile I rarely use but do enjoy.
Thank you for asking.
Have worn Lily of valley, roses, but violets even their color is special.
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Megan says:
I love rain, cotton or ocean breeze - they all are clean and fresh and remind me of spring time when you open the windows and air out all the old stale winter air!
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Michele says:
I love the scent of rain on dirt - takes me back to my childhood and happy memories
April 23rd, 2008 at 12:46 pm
seven says:
I really love blends of black currant and vanilla and orchid and amber and stuff like that, because it’s a warm scent and slightly sweet without being overbearing or sickly sweet. I’ve been trying to find something with those scents without having to spend an arm and a leg, because I don’t make much $, so this would be wonderful to win!
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Marnie says:
I love the scent of peonies. It’s soft, sensual, and clean. They are also one of my favorite flowers.
I have to admit I’m a smell-hound so this was a very difficult question to answer. Do I go with the sheets I always dry on the line out back? Do I go with freshly brewed coffee? How about freshly mowed grass, or do I go with the scent that makes me smell it over and over and over again? That’s the one, Peonies…..or Tea Olive flowers, aahhhhhhh LOL
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Julie at Elisharose says:
I love lemon because it is so fresh and clean smelling, but I also love gardenia. It just smells like heaven to me.
Thanks for stopping by my contest. Good luck. (And good luck to me, too : ) )
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:22 pm
emily roper says:

April 23rd, 2008 at 1:33 pm
Jessie says:
I love the smell of rain, because it makes me think of Spring and just makes me happy. Can you bottle that?
April 23rd, 2008 at 1:42 pm
Domestic Chicky says:
Fragrance is one of my passions, so it would be hard to pick just one - I love anything by L’artisan - tea for two, patchouli patch - I love unique scents, and theirs are definitely unique. Angel fits in there too - it just stops you and makes you go “whoa”. I also love Shaal Nur by Etro, and flowerbomb. I am all over the place, aren’t I?
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:47 pm
Marcia says:
I like the scents of Sweet Pea, Cucumber Melon, and Raspberry. I like the sweet, lighter scents as opposed to the musks.
April 23rd, 2008 at 2:53 pm
Tammy says:
My favorite scent is cinnamon, it is my favorite scent because it reminds me of the times my grandma and I spent baking in the kitchen together.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:20 pm
Hjordi says:
I like so many- lavender, Vanilla, rosemary, mint. They each remind me of something special.

Thanks for entering me. This would be absolutely wonderful! I love Honeysuckle scent. It reminds me of handmade soap my husband bought for me. I also love vanilla scent.
April 23rd, 2008 at 3:59 pm
Debbie says:
Moonshadow. I still hoard this oil from when you had Scent by Spirit and only use it on special occasions. It makes me think of cotton candy and all things sweet and innocent. Men love this scent. My second favorite is Amber because it makes me think of Spirit.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:12 pm
Suzy says:
Vanilla. It is not too strong or too weak. Has a nice scent to it. And, I wore it at my wedding.
April 23rd, 2008 at 4:59 pm
Kim says:
I have always loved the fragrance of lillies of the valley. I remember living in one house that had bunches of them along the side where my bedroom was located and they would scent the whole room when the windows were open. It’s fresh and sweet without being overly so.
April 23rd, 2008 at 5:54 pm
Shilo Beedy says:
I love plumeria and vanilla!
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:08 pm

April 23rd, 2008 at 6:48 pm
Debra Ford says:
I love the scent of lilac because it reminds me of my childhood summer home where we had dozens of lilac trees. It’s the most beautiful scent. Thanks for the great giveaway
April 23rd, 2008 at 6:54 pm
Hazel says:
I really like the smell of strawberries and the ocean, they are so different but both smell so good.
April 23rd, 2008 at 7:35 pm
Sarah says:
I love floral scents but for me, the top one would have to be rose. I have always loved roses as a little girl and the scent is something that often reminds me of my good ol’ carefree days.
April 23rd, 2008 at 8:09 pm
Summer says:
I like good old fashioned rose. It reminds me of our visit to the Rose Gardens in Portland Oregon as a teen.
April 23rd, 2008 at 8:46 pm
Sharla says:
Wow, this is a hard question. I tend to lean towards fruit and really light flowery scents. I’m not really sure why but I think it’s because it makes me feel (and smell I hope) like Spring, which is my favorite season.
April 23rd, 2008 at 9:00 pm
Cara says:
Humm. Hard one. Let see.
White Shoulders Perfume. Why? Cause my grandma who was my best friend wore it, and since she has passed away I find comfort in smelling it. WHen I am tired or stressed or sad to smell that perfume is like a warm hug from that dear friend.
April 23rd, 2008 at 9:06 pm
sue bull says:
hey rachel! i signed up for the newsletter! i’m in new zealand so not eligible for this (sad face!) but my favourite scent is rose, because that’s the name of my grandmother, for whom i was named. it’s such a beautiful flower, name and smell! thanks for stopping by
April 23rd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
Darci says:
Wish this was open to Canada. But I just wanted to say thanks for commenting on my giveaway. My favorite smell would have to be anything manly (and strong enough that I can smell) that my husband wears.
April 23rd, 2008 at 11:13 pm
Noreen says:
I love tea rose because it is light, femine and floral
April 24th, 2008 at 12:23 am
Angela James says:
Thanks for stopping by my blog and entering my contest!
I love the scent of vanilla or a citrus scent. It’s hard for me to find scents that I can wear, because I’m sensitive to things that are overly flowery (allergies) or strong, and I usually find vanilla and citrusy scents to be light and not too overpowering. The citrusy scents are particularly pleasant to other people, I’ve found.
I have always wanted to have a custom scent blended but thought I could never afford it! I’m going to bookmark your site for when you’re accepting new clients again in the fall.
April 24th, 2008 at 5:56 am
Farley says:
This is tough…. I love perfume, but I hardly get to wear it anymore because I work in a winery tasting room and it would conflict with the smell of wine..
But typically I like something a little musky but with floral undertones. Sexy but subtle. My last purchases were Calvin Klein’s Euphoria and BCBGirls Sexy.
April 24th, 2008 at 7:24 am
Mimi says:
I love the scent of cinnamon. My favorite floral scent is carnation, sweet and spicy!
Thanks for entering my giveaway! Love your site!

katklaw777 says:
I have always loved Gardenia! Its old fashion, uplifting and makes a bold statement.
April 24th, 2008 at 8:18 am
EG says:
This is a random one, but I love the smell of a Scented Geranium. They’re like grapefruit but more subtle. It’s just wonderful.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:15 am
Jhianna says:
Hmm… how to describe? That’s always been my problem. I go for vanilla because it’s easy. But my favorite perfume was Kazmir. They don’t make it any more (there’s a similar perfume name, but nothing like the scent). It came in a short fat bottle with a crown type lid. Musky and spicy with a hint of woodsy (if I remember right). I have one bottle left in my stash somewhere, and I should probably use it before it loses it’s scent completely.
April 24th, 2008 at 10:19 am
Worlds Greatest Mommy says:
I love tropical scents, mango, coconut, pineapple because they make me feel exotic. For the record, I’m not exotic.
I also love ylang ylang. It just makes me feel happy when I smell it.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:06 am
Zara says:
I love the scent of Jasmine or Gardenia. I like most perfumes with a floral scent because they are light and feminine smelling to me. Thanks!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Sandy says:
I like a sage/rosemary/and mint. Combination or alone…
They remind me of our frequent trips through New Mexico and the southwest… Very earthy and I feel connected and “green”!!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
bianca says:
I have 2 favorite scents. Gardenia, because it reminds me of the first perfume I ever had when I was a little girl. It was a roll on stick that I think my grandmother bought from Avon. I carried it around in my little purse wherever we went. Even if I didn’t put it on, I would still take it out just to smell it. I still love it today.
My second is Green Tea by Bulgari. It’s a unisex scent and it’s just so clean and crisp, I love it. I can’t even put into words how much I love this scent!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:15 pm
Carol Ezovski says:
I like foodie scents. Sugar cookie, creme brulee, vanilla, coconut, etc. Some musk. Why? I guess cause I like food? I’m not into the flowery scents at all.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:17 pm
Lillian says:
I like clove & orange - maybe a little bit of lime for good measure.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:25 pm
Cyndi says:
I love mint. Both as a flavor to eat and a smell. It is so invigorating and calming at the same time. It reminds me of summer sipping and winter warmth and spring time blooms all at once - it is perfect!
April 24th, 2008 at 1:15 pm
Parthena says:
I love lavender. It’s a clean scent and very soothing.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
Lee says:
I would have to say that orange blossom is my favorite, though I have many. But the true orange blossom from the tree is just intoxicating and calming. It is so illusive, I have yet to find a bottled one that duplicates it. Sad it is short lived here but a for a short time it is absolutely heaven here in Mesa, Az.
April 24th, 2008 at 2:42 pm
Tiffany says:
I love floral and tropical scents. I try to stay away from anything that smells like food, like “birthday cake” or cinnamon because they always make me hungry - haha!
April 24th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Belinda says:
I love the scent SweetPea. I also love fruity scents as well. Thanks for the fantastic giveaway!
April 24th, 2008 at 3:08 pm
Susan Chester says:

April 24th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Scarlett says:
My favorite is orange because it smells so fresh and I find it energizing.

Tracey Chambers says:
I love the smell of honeysuckle. Sometimes I smell it even though there isnt any around and I just get this feeling that its my grandmother watching over me. corny I know but It makes me feel better
April 24th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Jessica says:
I like fresh apple scent, and I also like floral, but not rose floral - more like lilac and gardenia.
April 24th, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Suzie says:
My favorite scent is cherry blossom. I love the scent of cherries and the cherry blossom has a sweet lightly floral scent.

My favorite scents are lilacs (because they smell like spring!!) and vanilla (because it evokes warm, yummy thoughts!). My favorite prefume is DKNY Be Delicious - it’s so fresh and slightly floral.

This is a FANTASTIC prize. Thank you for offering it!
I love food scents. My favorite perfume is Victoria’s Secret Love Spell, but my favorite scent it mint chocolate. The chocolate is yummy and makes me feel luxurious, pampered. The mint is invigorating & refreshing. It’s not often I can find the two in combination, so when I do, I often stock up (talking about candles, in particular).

Lemon blossoms. Because sitting out in the backyard today smelling them made me happy. And because they smell better than anything I know.

This is a great giveaway! So this might sound weird, but the most beautiful thing I’ve ever smelled is evergreens near the ocean. I guess because the evergreen smell is comforting and stable, and the salt air makes me think of vastness and adventure. It’s the perfect balance!

I love exotic and oriental, mixed with earthy/woodsy scents — so something like Opium or Black Cashmere (for commercial perfumes) are my faves.
They transport me far away!

What a difficult question…I love the scent of my son’s little furry cowie that he’s snuggled with his whole life and my daughter has this ‘dorable little breath. (they are 15 and 12) And I love the smell of this little weed in my yard that is related to chamomile, I think, rain, sun-drenched sheets, MOSS and coffee and my husband’s neck…..hmm.
But, non of those are scents for me to wear. I’m thinking sweet scents like vanilla and something fresh and clean. I like the contrast. Vanilla is warm smelling and the fresh air/rain smell is cool.
What a wonderful gift giveaway!

my favorite scent is tropical and fruity, young and sensual. I’m thinking cherry blossoms, citrusy lemonade. I think it’s from living in the North East with all the snow, I long to be with the young and heat of the warm climates.

Keryn says:
I love fruity scents–peach and apple and citrus…mostly because they are light and they don’t bother my husband. I used to love vanilla, but then I had a vanilla bathroom spray, and that kind of ruined it for me!

limecello says:
Wow - this is so great! Um… favorite scent? That’s really hard. I’m torn between vanilla, and… fruits. I love Be Delicious by Donna Karen, for example. Bath and Body works scents [though sometimes theirs are waaay too "perfumey" for hand soaps, etc.] I really like dragonfruit too, passion fruit… I love home comforting vanilla is and the fruits, I like fresh scents. Something a little sweet- but not saccharine -and musks make me sneeze. I need something light and crisp (but not too much!)

Kathleen W. says:
Just one?? It’s hard to choose, as I love lavender at night to relax (I have some bath and massage oils that smell of lavender) but my daily scent is a blend of nag champa oil and lemon grass, a spritzer made at a soap shop in my town.

Lilacs because I grew up at the beach and they were the only flower (besides weeds) that grew in all the sand. It reminds me of my lazy, carefree days of summer as a child.

I love the smell of lavender. I love the color lavender as well. I love the smell because it is very fragant and just soft and not overpowering.

Yard Sale Princess says:
Thank you for visiting my giveaway. I get migraines triggered by scents so it is hard to find things that are nice. I love lavender. It is relaxing and has deep notes but is not overpowering. I cannot do many floral scents or heavy scents because of the headaches but lavender works very well for me.
OH YOU KNOW, I just thought of a scent that I wish could be bottled, the scent of the orange blossoms. We have an orange grove across the street and when they are in bloom it is such a heavenly scent. It is a comforting smell that reminds me of my childhood and actually relaxes me.

Nicole Price says:
My favorite scent is lilac because it reminds me of my childhood. Every year we would go pick lilacs that grew wild around our area. I looked forward to it every year. Our house would always smell so wonderful. We moved away when I was 12 but that smell always brings me back to happy times

Wow, what an awesome prize! My favorite scent is lilac. I grew up with lilac bushes around my house and there is no real reason… the smell just makes me swoon. When I buy my first home I will plant them all around again!
April 25th, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Tamara (AK) says:
I too love the scent of lilacs…it’s old fashioned and feminine…plus, when my bushes bloom it’s absolute confirmation that spring is here and we have freedom from snow for at least a couple of months!
Thanks for offering to do this for someone!
