Women's fragrances anyone?

[Satanfriendly]

Ran a refreshing bath for Mrs SF the other day (as requested instructed) and occasionally I put a small squirt of perfume in the water to add a touch of luxury. On this occasion a little of that great classic, Chanel No.5. 'Mmmm?' I thought and ended up wearing it on myself for the rest of the day. It is quite heavy but has a slight masculine side to it and even my wife thought it carried quite well.

Anyone else ever consider or uses a female scent?

I find that most scents these days are unisex anyway, one of my favourites is Jicky by Guerlain .......a woman's perfume but one that has been adopted by men and there are many others that aimed at women but can be worn by men.
What I say is forget who the scent was aimed at and if you like it wear it!
I like a lot of the Miller Harris range, aimed at women but perfectly acceptable as a unisex scent. P.

Given the pedigree of No.5 I would never quite call it unisex, but it did work very well in the context. I did try her YSL Opium but didn't think it carried the same.

Indeed wise words.

I agree, No.5 is not unisex and I think I muddied the waters somewhat by saying anything about unisex scents.........my message is if you like it wear it whatever it is. P.

The vintage YSL Opium works very well as a male scent.

I wear Guerlain Mitsouko sometimes.

I've had quite a bit of "female scent" on me, but not from a bottle.

I'm not a "fancy" guy, I don't think perfume would work for me, some sort of petroleum product or hydrocarbon exhaust would be better.

This place IS turning out expensive. I'd never heard of Czech and Speake but I had a look and ended up buying a bottle of Eau de Cologne (which I haven't worn for 20 years...) . It does sound amazing though .
