From left to right: Sand and Sable by Coty; Caron Farnesiana (mimosa and almonds? I'm in); an almondy-buttery fragrance that Kuri and I are still trying to track down, but smells really nice on me; YSL Cinema

And then there's these...
On the left, a sample of Weekend by Burberry for Women
Do I smell (pun intended) another ongoing series of blog entries here?
As you can see, this is enough fragrance to last me through the rest of the year... including the typhoon season, when the air is colder and not as overwhelmingly humid. But it does pose the challenge of comparing these fragrances with one another, seeing what works for my body chemistry (even though I know nothing about sillage and all that jazz) so I can use them as a jump-off point for future purchases in the horizon. This should be a lot of fun!

You make my package sound so nice. Proof of the strength of your writing.
but it's probably uncouth of me to make comments on my package :P
hi! can you suggest a perfume that has a baby powder scent? thanks
@Kuri: Thanks ;)
@Anonymous: There are only two fragrances that come to mind: Love's Baby Soft and Demeter's Baby Powder.
You might also try the "baby" lines from the other established brands, like Bobbi Brown and Philosophy. As far as I'm concerned (being a casual perfume smeller and all that) I'd recommend testing these on your own skin, since everyone has a different body chemistry that reacts to a given fragrance. Hope this helps!
Whoops! It looks like Bobbi Brown does not carry a baby line any more. But the European baby-product brand Mustela does have its own alcohol-free fragrance. Hope this helps!
