How often do you wear perfume/cologne?

[ElizK]

I chose "other". I never wear perfume. Makes my eyes itch and gives me a headache. My baby powder scented deoderant and (occassionally) fruit scented lotion are all I wear.

 

[merekc]

Never. Makes me sneeze and my eyes itch and water.

I hate when people bath in the stuff. Makes me literally sick to sit next to them.

I am amazed at the people I know who spray on right before they walk in somewhere. They don't even give it time to tone down any. I guess they are clueless.

Never. I live in a place that for some reason has a very high incidence of environmental illness, and as a result, virtually every public (non-retail) place I go to has a no-scents policy. Workplace, school, church, hospitals and doctors' offices.... every place except stores.

 

[Sheree Bobbins]

If I am to be socializing with other people, I think twice about applying perfume. So many are sensitive to it, nowadays. I usually wear it if I'm alone.

I never heard of this before and find it interesting as I have a friend with severe asthma. How exactly is it enforced? I mean lightly applied lotion or perfume that was applied in the morning and it's now the afternoon, you can smell, but not strongly enough to really distinguish. So I'm just wondering how a rule like that works. Is it actually enforced or is it more of a reccomendation/limit your usage thing?

Oh and I only wear actual perfume (Burberry Brit) on special occasions, but I wear Bath and Body Works lotion everyday.

I wear it just about everyday, but sometimes I forget to put it on. I wear Dior Addict Shine.

I had to vote "other" but the answer is pretty much never. Just seems like I have better things to spend my money on. Once in a while I have scented lotion if I get it for a gift. DD on the other hand absolutely loves fragrance and saves up to buy the good stuff.

 

[Camicar]

I answered other: NEVER.

I never wear perfume. Don't like it. Don't actually understand the point of it, to be honest.

[Angelhalo]

I love the smell of my perfume and put it on every day. I don't glob it on, but one spritz on each wrist.

Ditto! Perfume is a love in my life. I adore it. I wear it everyday but I definitely use the correct amount. I hate when you can tell that so and so was in the room because you can still smell their perfume or cologne. I usually do one spritz on the back of my neck.

 

[Pooh67_68]

I never wear perfume, it bothers my asthma and allergies.

 

[kinntj]

My vote was for other. I never wear perfume, I get migranes easily and most scents trigger them.

This can trigger my migraines too, so I wear only on special occasion and very lightly.

 

[Jockaroo]

I never wear perfume. Hubby has severe allergies. I do have people ask what I wear sometimes because I smell so fresh and clean. It is my bath soap. Fresh and clean is a good thing.

 

[Anewman]

Just on days that I shower...

 

[Charade]

Can't wear cologne. Makes me sneeze.

Can't wear perfume either for the same reason...

Wouldn't it be better to wear it on the days you DON'T shower???

 

[Golf4food]

Other = Never. Having allergies, a wife with asthma, and family with bad allergies, almost all perfumes and colognes are likely to produce a very bad reaction in any or all of us.

Please, perfume/cologne users: dab, don't bath. Other people's ability to BREATH may depend on it.

Never thought of it that way...
