[Warrior2022]

Thank you all.  I have always used just scented soaps and lotions.  I have always worked at places that have a no scent policy and I have carried that policy into my personal life.

I really don't want to cause anyone discomfort.

I am still on the fence.  We shall see how long I can hold out.

I do, almost every day even when i am not planning to leave home. I wear a iight fragnance on work days (Jour de Hermes Absolou) and on weekends I might wear something with more sillage.

You should absolutely treat yourself and, in turn, I’m sure everyone around you will be treated as well.

Enjoy!!!

I wear perfume every time I leave the house, even if it's just to Walmart, the post office, or wherever. I love it! I was an Uber driver for the last 3 years and got tons of compliments. If it bothered anyone, no one ever said anything, and believe me when I say riders are brutal, and if it bothered them, it would show in low ratings! I like to wear Tova Signature and Nest's Midnight Fleur, both purchased at QVC. I don't drive anymore, and seldom leave the house, but when I do, it's full make up, hair, and perfume!

I love fragrances, but unfortunately am allergic to most of them. However, I can wear the Demeter brand with no problem and have quite a collection. I wear whatever appeals to me that day.

For medical, dental, or other appointments, I spray on a few small spritzes of Demeter's Pure Soap. It smells exactly like Ivory Soap and like you just stepped out of the shower -  clean and fresh.

Fragrance is a passion of mine.  I have the nose of a blood hound and how a place or person smells is the first thing I notice.  The only thing I purposely buy UNscented is bath soap and deodorant as I don't want those interfering with my perfume and scented lotions.  Yes, I wear fragrance every day.  The last thing I do at night is spritz on a little fragrance.  It has to be something conducive to sleep.  I have and love Miss Dior Bloom but can't wear it to bed.  Too "bright".  I wear this mostly for my husband.  I prefer deeper, richer, vanilla, sandalwood and amber based scents.  THANK goodness I'm not at all sensitive to fragrance!  I appreciate passing someone in the store and being treated to a whiff of loveliness and it's eons better than being met with a whiff of cigarette smoke or last night's pot roast

If money isn't an issue and you love it, by all means treat yourself   Why wouldn't you?  

If I could only take 3 beauty products to a deserted island, it would be mascara, lipgloss and perfume.  Same three things I never leave the house without.  I go days without leaving the house but I always like to smell good

Yes, whenever I leave the house. Right now I'm trying to use up my WEN 613 parfum. I like the scent but it fades very quickly! Not worth what I paid for it on QVC, that's for sure! I find the same "fading" issue with Philosophy perfume (Amazing Grace) which I love but it doesn't last so for me, it's not worth the cost! I still have a brand-new unwrapped bottle of "Now and Forever" which was Joan Rivers' beautiful scent and I recently purchased the NandF Body Lotion. I'm hoarding the perfume since it is no longer available!!! I've used it and adored it in the past and I wish it was still available!!

Not always, but I like it. I tend to use creams or lotions, and apply them as you would sachet.

I used to work with a man way back in the '70s who'd douse himself in Polo. (Personally, I never cared for that cologne.) Everyone thought maybe he had stock in Ralph Lauren lol.

Thankfully, not everyone confuses a HINT with a HIT.

Good perfumes are xpensive, but I think if its one you really love, and really, how often do we buy ourselves perfume anyway?, you should buy it.  They last for such a long time, a spritz here a spritz there.

I don't wear perfume everyday.  I can't stand anything that is too sweet or heavy or anything rose or too floral.  I prefer a clean citrus.  The perfume I want is by Prada and seems to only be sold at Nordstrom.  It is based on orange notes and is $165.  Like you, I think about it and think about it, but haven't justified spending that much $$ on a perfume.  It's not like I'm young and going out all the time.  I think if you are a social person you'd have more reason to justify the purchase price of the perfume you love.

I rarely wear perfume any longer but I used to wear Marilyn Miglin Pheromone that I loved. I would wear it again if I had some. When I was in Chicago once she had a shop there but was closed that day.

I had one specialist that hung a sign at the office -- no perfumes of any kind.
