Scent of a woman.

I am on the hunt for a perfume to wear on our big day. What a great way to conjure up all those sweet memories. I've been looking at a few perfumes, and if you've smelled/worn them before please give your own little review in the comment box. I want to choose a classic perfume that will be continued (not that it is guaranteed) because I want to have a bottle for the rest of my life, LOL. By the way, for some reason my body chemistry does not go very well with musky-scented perfume. I've got a few that my eye is on....

1. Ralph by Ralph Lauren. Believe it or not, before I was about to be born my mom fell in love with the name Lauren because she loved this perfume. The original bottle was dark, square, with a golden script font. Anywho, I grew up smelling this particular scent on my mom and I always loved it. Of course, I was too young for such a sophisticated and clean scent. This one probably isn't my first choice for my wedding day, but it's still in my top favorites. I also like Ralph Lauren's "Cool" scent (the hot pink bottle, it's so fresh and sweet).

2. Oh, Lola! by Marc Jacobs. I have no idea how this pretty little bottle smells but I adore Marc Jacob's perfumes. He gets it right every time for me. I'm sold just looking at it. I have a strong feeling this might be the one. Please let me know if you've worn/smelt this beauty before!
3. Blooming Bouquet by Miss Dior Cherie. I don't know, but I'm intrigued. I really want to smell this one! It came out this year, anyone tried this one? It looks so sweet and feminine.
4. Pink Sugar by Acqualina. This excites the sweet tooth of both my childhood and adulthood. I'm not sure if I want to smell like a cotton candy bride, but it sure smells delightful and it definitely elevates my mood. I've loved this one for years after discovering it at Sephora. How cute is that swirly perfume solid? ;)

5. Lovestruck by Vera Wang. 

"Lovestruck from Vera Wang. A modern twist on Romeo and Juliet, it's all about Vera's interpretation of being madly in love."

I love Vera Wang. She's been doing so many things lately, which is fine with me. Since I was little, I became obsessed over her wedding dresses, mostly because I wanted to be Cinderella. Now, I am very curious to know what this lovely little thing smells like. It's total eye candy! I've used her Princess (purple bottle) and just loved it but the musky smell was a little overpowering for me as I mentioned above.

So what's a favorite scent of yours?
Did you choose/wear a specific one for your big day?

Ralph by Ralph Lauren was my wedding day perfume.
There are sooo many awesome perfumes, it's hard to choose only one. I must admit i was very influenced by the thought of which bottle would look good in a photo and i never would have tried Ralph if it didn't come in my favorite color ( aka my wedding color). I fell in love with it the moment i saw the blue bottle and when i smelled it i knew that it would be perfect for my beach wedding, sweet but still fresh and light. I love wearing it now, it reminds me of summer, the ocean and our wonderful wedding.
I don't know what the Blooming Bouquet smells like, but i absolutely love "Miss Dior Cherie L'Eau". It's divine and one of my favorite perfumes ever. Have you smelled that?

Ann-Kay,

Sounds like that Ralph Lauren scent was perfect for your wedding day and how it brings you back to that moment! :) That must be such a beautiful thing. I want to purchase that particular one! I might use it for my wedding day, not sure yet. I'll have to go back and smell it again, LOL.

Oh, I have smelled the Miss Dior Cherie (it's like the color of Scotch). I actually don't remember it that much anymore, but I do remember the sweetness of it--kind of like a musky candy. Again, don't remember but I'm sure it's heavenly ;)

I tried the Miss Dior one and it was too sweet for me. Shame as I kinda had my heart set on it.
