What’s more perfect for summer than this fun, girly scent? This week, I’ll be giving you all a chance to win a 1 fl oz bottle ($38 value!) of Nanette Lepore’s bohemian/girly style. To win this week, all you have to do is post a question – anything about perfume, home fragrance, or other scented products. If you have multiple questions – that’s great too! I’ll try and answer them periodically this week. Good luck,















Other than “the Perfumed Court” (which I really like), is there another good place on the web to order decants? Thanks. I haven’t tried Nanette Lepore perfume yet and would love to win this.
do the designer scents use real flower/herb essence or synthetic?
I’ve always wondered what makes some perfumes last longer than others.
What exactly makes a product use-able for perfume? Why can some flowers be used v. others?
Why is Nanette Lepore perfumes so durable?!
How can I make my perfume last longer on my skin?
Where is a good place to find mild perfume scents for people sensitive to smells?
My aunt loved Ruffles by Oscar de la Renta (1980’s)……how can I find something close to it?
Hi- I got an aromatherapy diffuser as a gift in a lovely lavender scent…but I’d like to get some more and its in an unmarked bottle. Do you have any idea where I could get something like this?
thanks so much – and thanks for offering this giveaway!!
Why does some perfume cause headaches?
are there 100% organic perfumes out in the market?
if there are, do the scents last a long time?
I’m in love with Bond No. 9 Chinatown, but can’t really afford the price right now. Do you have any recommendations for something similar that’s a little more affordable? Thanks!
Why do samples often smell different than the real thing?
Hi! what do i do with perfumes i don’t use anymore?
Also, what do i do with perfumes which are too strong-smelling? I get dizzy over strong scents, and i don’t want to throw them away.
Thanks!
I love perfume!!! AND i need it, too. I can’t buy the cheap stuff because it ends up smelling like OFF spray on my skin. So winning this would be nice!
Thank you for your giveaway! Where did the term “toilet water” originate from? Why did they choose that term?
How can I keep my beauty/skin care/hair product fragrances from clashing with my perfume? Is there a way to work with hand lotions (for instance) so they won’t overshadow my perfume, but I’m not stuck with a not-moisturizing-enough lotion with the same scent as my perfume?
Why do some perfumes come in eau d’ parfum and also a body oil spray. What’s the difference? What are the pros and cons of each. This year’s Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess perfume had the choices. I was really interested in the oil, but didn’t want to chance something strange…so ordered the parfum. Mistake??? (Thanks for the blog and great giveaway!!!
)
Once they are opened, how long do perfumes last in the bottle? Do they ever “go bad”?
What is the best selling perfume for the last ten years?
What are some great summer perfumes that won’t overpower everyone around you? I live in the South and it’s hot and humid!
What kind of perfume would you recommend for sensitive skin?
My MIL said that perfumes that have pink grapefruit in them tend to make people feel and look younger. Is that true? And if so, what perfumes would you recommend that have this special scent? Thanks!
Why are some perfumes so expensive? Is it the perfume itself or just the designer label that makes it so pricey? Saw an ad once for perfume costing $50,000.00. What??? Would love to win this even the name is great Nanette Lepore.
When it comes to buying expensive perfume is it really better then the cheaper brands? Or are you just paying for a name?
Why do many perfumes give me an instant mind-splitting headache?
When making one’s own fragrance w/essential oils, is it best to use a bottle w/a screw-top or a cork/stopper? Thanks
I had my question answered. Making perfume last through the day. It was good information. Thank You

I love food scents in perfume oils, lotions and soaps. I’m 53 and was wondering if at my age I should stop wearing this type? (Silly question, I know)
I also wear florals and spicy scents, but these are my favorites!

What’s the best organic perfume line? Thanks in advance!
I love vanilla scents! Can you please suggest other brands that carry this scent. I only know VS and Bath and Body Works. Thanks!
I would love to try this,I have heard good things about Nanette Lepore perfumes and winning it would be wonderful! My question is “How long does it take from start to finish to develop a new scent?” Count me in to win
I always wonder why no matter what scent, brand, type of air freshener that you use it never seems to keep the smell in your home but you can always smell the scent in other peoples homes. I know they say we just get used to the scent but even after leaving for a few days i can’t smell the scent.
Thank you for the chance to win a great prize.
How long does perfume keep? I once heard real perfume can keep indefinitely. What other colognes, toilet water, etc. Also, how come some fragrances smell different on you during different times of the year?
I like raspberry and cotton candy scents. Do you know of any perfumes that have one of these two scents. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win. Thanks.
How do they get the rose fragrence out of the roses?
Here’s a question: Where on the body is the best place(s) to apply perfume? Some people say on the neck, in between the breasts, wrists, I never know where!!
What is the storage life for perfumes and where should you store perfumes?
I have a question for you…when I’m reading a magazine and there is a perfume sample…I rub it on my arm if I like it. But when you try the real perfume on (out of a bottle) it smells completely different. Very frustrating!
How do i know how much and where to put it, do i put it on before i put my clothes on or after? I get so confused!
how long do scents usually last once you spray it on?
would love to try this, my other half only likes 1 perfume on me. he won’t give any other a chance.i never have enough $$ to get it myself.
would love to know how i could smell this fragrance by nanette lepore?
