Do you wear perfume, (as some are allergic to it),
what one do you wear, and what one do you like........


i wear a cheap patchouli oil , as an everyday one
special occasions , i have Ellie Saab , ( shine ) and Fragile by JPG........
 

The ones I use the most are Chanel No. 5 L'eau and Estee Lauder Tuberose Gardenia. Of course I am careful to not wear perfume where it's not welcome. And not heavy. At home I wear them lightly. It makes me feel nice.
 
I wore it As a young woman but then developed a sensitivity to it. It would make me sneeze and break out in rashes.
 
For years I wore Norell as my main fragrance.

For a short while I wore White Shoulders... I received it as a gift. My mother always wore it and when I dabbed it on, it was like she was in the room with me. I couldn't bear to use it more than a few weeks.

For years I wore nothing, but a year ago was gifted with a Liz Claiborne thing that smells nice.
 
I’ve had a lifelong love affair with Chanel #5 and use it when I go out. For everyday wear I use Japanese Cherry Blossom perfumed body lotion.

I love that when my grandkids hug tell me they tell me often how good I smell.
 
Janet and I wear Kurkdjian blends. Amazing stuff, like nothing you've ever experienced, before. I also have my Armani, D&G, and Chanel. Yeah, I have Bay Rum, too. I don't wear them very often, anymore, as Janet doesn't really like painting the town, and in Austin weather, I can't blame her.
 
There was a Sandalwood scented cologne for men, but I can't remember the name. It came in a dark brown or black bottle. I sniffed it in a store. If I ever met a man who smelled like that, I would follow him, LOL!
I think Kurkdjian makes a Sandalwood blend. Maybe I'll put some on, head over, by you, and you can sing that old Aerosmith tune, "Waft this way!"
 
Years ago I was in love with a Revlon perfume called Moon Drops ... it's long gone but I thought it was wonderful. .... I really prefer body lotion and creams these days over any perfume, because they are light.
Got a sampler box of perfumes a while back, and use them every once in a while, but never in hot summer heat ... I would pass out
 
I wear different perfumes every week.. I have a whole stack of them, I had to go to my dresser and write them all down, because I have such a lot.. some expensive some much less so.. I prefer floral scents.. but not sickly sweet at all

This is what I have, and wear currently...

Van Cleef and Arpels, Body cream which is my favourite, and the one I wear in the daytime the most..
Givenchy Organza
Oscar de la Renta, Volupte
L'instant de Guerlain
Lancome Tresor
...and if I'm just popping out to the shops I wear Avon Timeless

@Bonnie. Moon Drops made a moisturizer my mother used!

I sometimes wear body spray or scented hand lotion.

Back in the day I liked Emeraude, Tigress, and Estee Lauder.
In high school Windsong was in the air...seems like almost everyone wore it.

When Obsession and Eternity were popular they were overwhelming. (Same as men's Aramis)
 
I always liked the smell of my Dad's Old Spice aftershave. I am allergic to almost all perfumes...even scented laundry soaps. :(

I remember my best friend in high school and I would wear English Leather. Wonder what the teachers thought...haha!

But I am able to use the Bath and Body Works "Moonlight Path" scented lotion without getting hives. So at least I can use something!
