Goths don't have a fragrance preference as a whole (besides absinthe and cloves...and blood), to my knowledge, so you'll have to ask her what her personal preferences are.

I agree with Sendo, just ask her what she likes or get her a GC to a store which sells a variety of fragrances.
I'm in my 30s and I wear clove oil (well used to- my vial got lost in the process of moving and I need to find a source for it here in my not so new home). I also like Dewberry by The Body Shop, Pure Poison, Twilight Woods by Bath + Body Works, Japanese Cherry Blossom by Bath + Body Works, and Vanilla fragrances. I also like white florals and woodsy stuff.
Good luck finding something she loves!

I wear my natural scent with a hint of soap and deordorant, however, I found White Shoulders and Tresor are the best. CK1 is good. It has a light citrus, misty scent.

Another problem with buying fragrance as a gift is that it may not smell particularly pleasant on the recipient. My preferred scents are "Opium" by Yves Saint Laurent, "Poison" by Christian Dior and "Obsession" by Calvin Klein. I also like patchouli, amber, frankincense, myrrh, sandalwood and musk essential oils.

i love poison. i have an older bottle and for some reason it's just a little bit bigger than the newer one that's sold.

To me, Obsession smells like oranges and sandalwood. When I wear it, the scent starts off sweet then dries down to the woody, sensual notes.

Depends.
If I'm at home/sober, Swiss Army or Diesel.
If I'm on the road, a combination of stale cigarette smoke, urine and cheap whiskey.

I would describe it as an Oriental fragrance that initially smells of citrus.
From the Calvin Klein website:
- Top notes: mandarin, bergamot, vanilla, green nuances
- Mid notes: jasmine, orange blossom, sandalwood, vetiver, exotic spices
- Base notes: amber, oakmoss, incense, musk

Kinda like P.o.S, except I smell generally of beer instead of whisky and petrol instead of urine.

I made my own scent at Bo Essentials but I rarely wear it as I'm a rather low maintenance kind of girl.

I like Poison by Dior. I also like Rock and Roses by Valentino and Fever by Celine Dion. Some of the body mists from Bath and Body Works are ok.

I usually just wear this cherry blossom scented body spray I bought from Bath and Body Works, but on special occasions, I wear a perfume by Vera Wang (I forgot the name).

I like Moonlit Path by Bath and Body Works. Also, Rainkissed Leaves by B&B W is good too.
It helps to ask her though. If you don't want her finding out you are planning to get her something, just casually bring it up in conversation.

You seem even more grumpy and cynical than usual. Would you like to talk about it?

My guess was Princess, too.
I dunno about your thread sweet PJ. I might have just missed it. How long ago was it? You know me, I usually jump on cosmetics posts. =) *big hug* you've done nothing wrong love
