Whoa! I was surprised by the amount of comments on yesterday’s post! Funny to me, since I was hesitant about publishing it. Thanks for your feedback!
Do you wear perfume or cologne? When do you wear it, and what scent?
Wow, somehow, I have a lot of perfume… despite rarely wearing it. I only use the far right bottle, Burberry Brit. And I kind of just wear it when I remember. I never put it on if I have a headache though!
Hi! I’m Kim, a 40-something-year-old living in northeastern Illinois with my husband Steven, and our cats, Khaleesi, Apollo, Starbuck, and Eddard aka Ned. My current main hobbies are running, painting rocks, flying, reading, and eating. I follow a vegan lifestyle and am employed by the federal government. I write about a variety of topics and consider this a “life” blog – a place I can share anything that’s on my mind. Please visit the “About” page to get a better idea of who I am! 🙂
I wear perfume when I go to my internship, have an important presentation for school or if I am going out with some of my friends. My favorite scent is Miss Dior Cherie!
I rarely wear perfume. I just got rid of a ton of bottles because I figured they passed their shelf life (if that even happens with perfumes). Perfumes and colognes tend to trigger my allergies or give me a headache. Oh, and this ties in with your last post because last year I got a large bottle of perfume from someone randomly. Not necessarily a bad gift, but maybe not the best choice for me since I wear it so little. I am hoping I can give it away to a good home.
It really triggers headaches for me too. Hmm. I wonder who you could donate that to… maybe a women’s shelter?
I used to wear cologne all the time in college (it was the in thing at the time). But now, I only do a few times a year. I prefer the scent of clean air!
I only use it after I go for a run at lunch time! Don’t want my coworkers having to smell that all day. 🙂
Oops. That reminds me – I forgot to put any on after my run this am…
I do wear perfume! I have two of the Victoria’s Secret perfumes – can’t remember the names right now. Usually I’m rushed in the mornings so I don’t always remember to put it on, but I really enjoy wearing it.
I wear j’adore dior. not every day, but most? i dunno, i like the smell 🙂 I also only have the one. I don’t really branch out, i guess…
I used to wear perfume often. Then I had kids. This will sound bizarre, but I never wanted to wear it while I was nursing babies – I felt like it would irritate them or make my skin taste weird or, I don’t know. So I stopped. And I never really got back into the habit again…
I don’t think that sounds bizarre at all!
I love the scent of Burberry Brit, one of my favorites! I used to have this really pretty Lacoste perfume but the bottle broke and I’ve never replaced it. I tend to wear something every day but often it’s something clean and simply smelling like Clinique Happy.
The only perfume I ever wear is Falling in Love by philosophy, and it’s pretty rare. I wore it for my wedding, and before that I may have worn it a year or two ago for some special occasion that I can’t recall? I gave away the rest of my perfumes because most scents give me a headache.
I do, however, wear body mists pretty much everyday. I love Victoria’s Secret Beauty Rush, but it seems they’re discontinuing that line.
I don’t even own any perfume! Years ago Jason said the smell sometimes gave him a headache so I quit wearing it.
I used to wear daytime perfume (Ralph Lauren Romance) and going out perfume (either Channel or Dior, both of which I got as gifts). These days, I hardly wear any at all … and, in fact, my nose has become super sensitive to people who do wear it (and not in a good way).
I do wear perfume. For a while, I was a member of Birchbox and got samples all the time. I have no idea what I wear because I rotate and can’t read the tiny letters. I do have a bottle of L.A.M.B. that I like.
I put my perfume on every morning – do I smell nice sitting next to you? Do I give you headaches? Tell me if I stink! I don’t even smell it after I put it on. All I know is I appreciate a nice smelling man – so I figure I could offer the same in return? 😉
Fragrance of choice: Versace Crystal Noir and Versace Bright Crystal. Both for different occasions, I suppose.
You always smell excellent 🙂
I’m more of a body spray type person than perfume!
And, have a FUN and safe time in NYC!!!! Can I go back with you?!? plzzz??
Yes! It is not too late for you to join me! I am still in the airport!
My mom sold fragrence at Macy’s for over a year so I became addicted to a few different scents when she worked there. Now, I wear it almost every day (apparently I forgot this morning). Also, I am bummed that she no longer works there so I can’t get a sweet discount (but it was my mom’s 2nd job so she was happy when she could quit).
I wear Princess by Vera Wang about once a month. That’s about how many times I get fully ready. Hair, makeup, perfume. That’s about how much effort I put into myself lately. 🙂
Same goes for the hubby. Makes for a nice treat though!
I wear one from Victoria’s Secret called Bombshell. I bought it last year right before my hubby came home from a deployment. When I put it on, it still brings back those butterflies!!! I try to wear it everyday, especially on the weekends.
Aww! That is such a sweet memory! 🙂
I have perfume from the Gap from…a million years ago. For reference, my grandma gave it to me, and she died almost five years ago. And she was still alive and kicking when she gave it to me. Does perfume go bad? It still smells nice…
I usually only wear it when I’m going “out” or when I’m going on a date. Maybe the men don’t like it and THAT’S why I’m single. hahhaha just kidding.
LOL! I bet it is still good. If it still smells good, right?! 🙂
I used to have perfume from Gap called Om. I loved the way it smelled but it was from about 10 years ago!
I wear romance. Have for nearly
20 years. 🙂
I hardly ever remember to wear perfume plus I’m sensitive to scents so it doesn’t happen often. I have a few though and my favorites are Jovan White Musk, Victoria Secret’s cashmere (not sure if they make this anymore) and Amber Romance. I also own Adidas Moves for her. My favorite cologne for men is Chrome. That reminds me that I should buy some for Joey.
I wear cologne daily. My main choice is Calvin Klein Euphoria for men. I’ve been a regular wearer since the mid 80’s, starting with the original Polo.
I also like other Calvin Klein scents like One, Eternity and Obsession. I also wore Penguin by Musingwear this year. Previous years, I’ve worn Polo Black, Polo Blue and Lacoste.
