Currently I am out of perfume but will buy another bottle, when I get around to it.    I don't wear anything heavy.

I may have missed this in the comments, but was surprised no one mentioned Tova.  Especially since QVC was the place they bought it.

I bought a bottle off EBay that was the original.  It smells really good, but I found that it gave me a slight headache.  I paid a pretty penny for it too!  So I use it sparingly.

I use a very light hand spritzing my perfumes .The stinky perfumes are the old scents that have turned . I worked in an office at work shared with my manager used to wear old perfumes. She would hang up her leather coat which held that nasty scent and it would rub off on my coat.

 

 What do people do ,hold your breath when you have to gas up the cars or walk by a Subway shop where they're grilling onions and mushrooms!  That really makes me gag!

@Shanus  I've noticed that I've cut back too lately.  I wear a little spritz of my Chanel Chance eau de Tendre perfume maybe once or twice a month when I spend extra time on my glam hair and makeup and walk around the mall for a few hours or go on a fun outing.  Maybe I'll start wearing it for date nights when I'm ready to go on the dating apps again later this year.  I love the scent of my favorite Chanel Chance eau de Tendre perfume, but I don't seem to feel inspired to wear a scent everyday these days..

I love Muguet de Bois and tried to buy a bottle a couple of years ago but it was awful-smelled of alcohol. I still love White Shoulders, Pleasures and Jean Nate (bath splash). If wearing cologne I spray 1 squirt of it into the air in front of me and then walk thru it.

Just showered, applied an herbal scented body creme. Then a few spritzes of Wild Bluebell by Jo Malone. Very light, fresh floral. Little staying power. So hopefully I wont cause harm to the people in Walmart where im headed. My other go-to scents are Amazing Grace and Pure Grace. They seem reasonably inoffensive to me. I feel younger and prettier when I wear a fragrance. So sue me. 😒😋

Yes, I do. Amazing Grace, Baby Grace, and Origins Ginger Essence are my favorites.

I'm in the same boat - Loved perfume (back in the day), but as I got older, it started to trigger asthma attacks.

 

Now, I simply use (Bath & BodyWorks) Warm Vanilla Sugar Body Lotion - It has a subtle, soft fragrance that lasts a long time. Smiley Wink
