Win This: M by Mariah Carey

| October 23, 2007 07:53 AM | Posted in

I love Mariah Carey and here’s why: Mariah reminds me of a time when our celebrities were crazy AND talented. No matter how many video show melt downs or weird boob jobs she has, the girl can sang (no, not a grammatical mistake, sang is one step above singing).  She’s got talent, she’s beautiful, and she’s crazy- which is exactly how I like my divas.

So like, her talented-but-crazy-diva-fore-mothers like Elizabeth Taylor, she recently partnered up with the folks at Elizabeth Arden for a new perfume called, M by Mariah. The perfume is, well, like a Mariah Carey song- technically very good, but gives you a headache if you listen (wear) it too much. The scent is a combination of amber incense, tiare flower, and marshmallows. Ummm Hmmm, MARSHMALLOWS… cause crazy-diva’s always have to through something in the mix to keep you slightly off balance.  However, the bottle is absolutely gorgeous and makes the perfume look more expensive than $38.

The perfume, sold at most major department stores, is available in a 1 oz. for $38, 1.7 oz. for $48 and 3.3 oz. for $58. A 0.5-oz. parfum, $175, and a 6.7-oz. body lotion, $28 is also available.

Tell me your favorite perfume (or cologne) in the comment section below and one, lucky winner, will receive a free, full sized, bottle of Mariah Carey’s latest perfume, M.

Mine is Isabella by Isabella Rossellini for Coty. My bottle is half way done and I’m already trying to figure out where to buy the next.

Hmm, this is a tough one since I have been trying to find a new fragrance I truly like for years now. I fell in love with Ferre when a friend brought it back from Italy for me, but when I went to replace the bottle it did not smell the same in the US version, so I gave it up. This was about 1990. Since then I have tried Happy (good for the first thirty mintues, then it turned on me)and a bunch of others based on samples, but have not settled on a signature fragrance in over 15 years. Any suggestions, ladies? I like a scent thats super clean and fresh smelling, maybe a bit floral. Thanks!

I had a sample of this perfume and I thought it was great.  The price is not bad for the size and it is a cute bottle!!  I really like classics like Channel but this is a good alternative.

My favourite perfume is Secret Wish by Anna Sui.  It’s fruity without being cloying, and light but long lasting.  It smells like spring and the fairy-topped bottle is lovely, too.  Ooh, and the citrus and pineapple notes make me feel like I’m a hummingbird cake… or some other magic creation that makes people happy.  Next I’m going to try Secret Wish: Magic Romance, it’s far more floral but the scent still makes me happy.

My older sister bought me Coco Madamoiselle by Chanel the summer before I went to college. I felt as though I had officially grown up, so I always wear it when I need to feel sophisticated.

I’ve bought the actual Givenchy Very Irresistible perfume, but I like the hair mist way more. I’m pretty short, so when boys lean down to talk to me, they always say, “Ooooooh what’s that you’re wearing…?” Works every time.

My favorite fragrance of all time is Champs-Elysee…..It simply smells beautiful!

It was a gift from a friend who had the opportunity to spend a month in Europe a few years ago and I have not been able to find it since then, but still remains my favorite.

A close runner-up for me is Still (by J. Lopez)....I have been told that this one really works with my body chemistry so for grins it would have to count as my second favorite.
Thanks

My favorite perfume WAS something by AVON called Sunny Sky. But they have apparently discontinued it. I would always get compliments whenever I wore it. Everytime I find something I like, they take it away from me! Darn!

I have so many perfumes that I love, but if I had to choose just one, it would be Nude by Bill Blass. I have been wearing this scent for 13 years now, and I only wear it on special occasions, so every time I spray it I am flooded with wonderful memories!

This is nearly embarassing, but my favorite perfume is actually Velocity by Mary Kay. It is clean and crisp, mainly citrus, with the slightest hint of floral.

Every man goes crazy over it!

I looooove SJP’s Lovely.  I think that, when i was a little girl, it’s how i would have pictured grown-ups should smell.  In a good way.
