Two scent directions

I made one exception to the non-celeb fragrance rule: Lovely by SJP. I think she actually worked on the fragrance and didn't just slap her name on it. Either way, I think it's truly "lovely." I did not like her other fragrance, Covet.

Call me a snob if you want, but I won't buy any of those on principle.

Exactly what I mean. If I am considered a snob, then it is because people don't really know me; but then people tend to have a lot of opinions about other people whom they don't really know! So I don't care. But I agree; you hit the nail on the head. It is the principle.

Ah, my sisters!  I also won't buy logo clothes, purses or shoes.  I'm not advertising for those companies, nor am I so desperate to 'buy class' by identifying with their brands.  Its the principle of the thing.

Absolutely. Brand recognition is the primary reason why I no longer buy Coach unless it's plain colored leather. I don't need no steenkin' label advertising to the world what I bought. I don't think I could even be tempted into an IT bag. OK, maybe if someone gave me a Birkin in a non-hideous color. 

I make it a personal policy to wear no legible clothing.

I'm going to see my eye doctor soon...I read "Birkin" as Bikini.  I digress...I agree with the celebs scents. They are too expensive and some too stinky.  I take two showers a day and don't bother with perfume most days.

I've been loving perfume oils lately.  My favorite is Egyptian Goddess perfume oil that I slather everywhere.  I get this at Whole Food..not expensive.
