Signature Scent?
« on: September 20, 2002, 05:59:29 PM »
.....Josette's was Jasmine and now they tell us that Lilac was Vicki's?  Are there up-coming characters with their own signature scents?

Do women have signature scents anymore?  

I'm wearing Gardenia right this minute, but tomorrow it will almost certainly be something else!

Have signature scents gone the way of garters, gloves and hats in church?

Ladies?

    The ghost of Daphne also had the signature scent of lilacs.
    My late mother-in-law always wore Paloma.  It was so strong that once during a long car ride I sneezed so much I ended up with a nosebleed.  My husband finally showed some guts and told her not to wear it anymore.

I am the queen of new scents and am addicted to sephora.com. Right now I wear three scents. Light Blue by Dolce and Gabbana, Amazing Grace by Philosophy and Vera Wang. Not all at the same time of course. :-)

Have you ever been in their store? What a shopping experience!! Went to the one in Desert Passage in the Aladdin Hotel in Vegas and just went nuts. My daughter would have bought out the store.

I live in Las Vegas, that's pretty much the norm around here! My daughter drives me nuts when we go shopping anywhere, I don't care what she sees that she wants, her dad buys it for her! She's the most spoiled 6 year old on the planet!

During the early pre-Barnabas eps of DS, whenever Josette's ghost appeared it was accompanied by the scent of Jasmine. However, when we went back in time and actually met Josette, there was no mention of her love for Jasmine. (Just Rose Water.) Likewise, with the ghost of Daphne it was the scent of lilacs, yet in 1840 when she is alive there is no mention of her liking lilacs or the scent of them.

Paranormal experts often report that the appearance of a benevolent spirit is accompanied by a pleasant smell. The scent of flowers may be indicative of a friendly ghost rather than that ghost's preference of perfumes while they were alive.

By the same token, it is often said that the presense of an evil spirit is accompanied by a foul smell. There is no indication that Quentin or Gerard ever left an unfortunate odor so they might have chosen to simply ignore this aspect. It would be funny, though, to see David and Amy holding their noses upon exiting the West Wing.

On special occasions, I wear Estee Lauder's "Beautiful" and I've worn it since my teens.  However, for everyday scents, I wear either Cotton Blossom (my hubby's favorite), Juniper Breeze, Happiness, Plumeria (all from Bath and Body Works) or Secret Crush (From Victoria's Secret).  And for relaxation I use Bath and Body WOrk's Eucalyptus/Spearmint aromatherapy.  If I were a ghost I'd confuse the heck out of everyone showing up smelling different every time LOL.
