Partial view of my fragrance collection

Some women need lipstick or mascara or hairspray to feel "okay" enough to go out the door. I don't fall into that category (mainly because I rarely use any of the aforementioned items.) What I feel absolutely naked without and will spur a mini-panic attack is some sort of fragrance. I wear a powder-scented lotion, in fact the same one for the past 12 or so years, and a light spritz of any of the following:

1. Bond No. 9 "Union Square" Andy Warhol Edition - a scent that I truly treasure. It's more floral than anything I wear, but musky enough to be sexy. I wear it mostly on nights out, but only sparingly since the bottle is nearing it's end; so if I'm wearing it around you - you're a special person to me! 
2. Viktor & Rolf "Flower Bomb" - As you can see by the bottle, I typically wear this every day and I'm a huge fan of this scent's lotion companion. 
3. Jo Malone "White Jasmine & Mint" - This is my go-to summer scent. It's refreshing (mint) and mildly floral (palatable) and honestly smells like a men's fragrance (yum!)  
4. Gucci II - There are just remnants of liquid left in the bottle. Reminds me of my early 20's and brings back memories with every whiff.   
5. Dolce & Gabanna "The One" - Truth be told, the Giselle ad sold me. Then the powdery scent reminded me of my lotion. It's casual enough to wear on the weekend running errands and intriguing enough to wear on a date.   

Oh, and if you're a guy with the two below fragrances a.) kudos and b.) if I see the bottle I will shamelessly spray it on myself. Since the CK One days (come on, you totally remember them!) I've taken it upon myself to continue in the unisex cologne tradition. Deal with it dudes.
