Ladies, do you wear perfume?

bigpinkelephant

I don't, and sometimes people say it's weird.
I have more make-up and hair products than I know what to do with but perfume? Nah.

edit- By the way, I shower daily and use deodorant so I don't smell!!!

Why, what happened to your nose?

xzanti

Yeah I'd feel naked without it tbh.. I'd usually just wear something light like a spritz of Inis during the day or if I go out at night I'll wear something a bit stronger.. I go through a lot of perfume

Diamond007

Couldnt leave the house without perfume..

Carry a bottle in my bag too if its light..

naasface

i love gettin a new perfume (obviously choose it myself)

yeah i love perfume

mahamageehad

Luv perfume.
Have Burberry Weekend for women, Vera Wang Princess and good old Charlie Red which i use religiously.

But i wouldnt think some1 who doesnt use perfume is weird or odd or anything like that

SeekUp

Only for special occasions and/or a night out.

A dab on the insides of the wrists, on the sides of the neck, behind the knees, and between the girls.

Scarinae

Sometimes. I often forget, people are more likely to know the smell of my shampoo

Maple

yep, always.

Everyday. Like to spray a bit in my hair as it holds the smell all day.

Usually walk though BT at lunchtime and get a top up for free

Perfume is cancer in a bottle.

Yep, I do, although I only use one and it's not too strong. I don't like overly strong perfume.

LolaLuv

I do wear perfume. It's Very Sexy by Victoria's Secret. Despite being pricey for perfume that comes from a lingerie store, the scent wears off within a half an hour. :mad:

Kya1976

wouldn't wear it on a daily basis I usually forget to put it on.....

Acacia

I use to not bother with it, until I discovered Vera Wang Princess. I wear that most days, smells yummy!

PrettyInPunk

Always, i wear light blue by Dolce and G. It also makes me smile when the smell reminds my friends or family of me.

I love that scent! It's so clean!

I used to wear Bulgari Femme and Coco Mademoiselle. My mom loved the smell of them both, so I got them for her as gifts and now whenever I wear them my brothers say I smell like mom...:mad:bitch stole my scent!:pac:

I used to wear perfume daily, but after being in a small room with ten women one evening, all of whom were wearing perfume, it put me off for the main part.

I use Benefits 'Touch me and try to leave' body creme, which has a lovely subtle scent. You have to be close to me to smell it, which I think is probably good.

On occasion I wear Marc Jacobs 'Daisy' scent, again because its subtle.

I wear perfume some days and not others. I've actually never bought perfume in my life.

I have the sneaking suspicion that 99 times out of 100, you're mostly paying for the name on the bottle, so I reckon I'd tend to go for unbranded perfumes if I were buying some, preferably with not so many chemicals.

Personally my favourite is

sam34

i find the lush stuff hugely overpowering. even walking past the shop you get the stink from it, i dont see (smell?) the appeal at all.

personally, i wear perfume to work every day and at weekends if i'm going out.
ive been wearing contradiction by calvin klein for years, i absolutely love it

Each shop has the bath ballistics right by the door that is what you are smelling once you get into the shop passed them it is fine and the perfume balms are not over overpowering and you only need a dab of them.

Loxosceles

Yes.

Standards:
Dolce n Gabbana Red- summer
Dolce Blue- winter
Estee Lauder White Linen- year-round

Best new discoveries: Juicy Couture (whoa! way, way intense) and more subtle Calvin Klein Truth

Not big on Chanel or Guerlain. Most of the new diva scents don't impress me either and disappear quickly, or worse, smell like teenage bubble gum like Britney's (AWFUL). Beckham's line is nice but a little sweet for me. Elizabeth Arden is cheaper but a couple are very nice like Green Tea Refresh (good citrus in it), Sunflowers, and very classy and heady like 5th Avenue After Five.

The only Irish scent I like is Inis classic, but it's way above the rest imo.

Right now a lot of the countrywide chemist shops that are in competition are holding mind-blowing credit crunch sales.

I finally was able to nab a couple of genuine French ambergris-based scents by Rochas that were originally priced at EUR80 a bottle, and got them for 20 each, becasue ambergris smells like old bum at first impression and a lot of modern sniffers don't realise that the scent transforms with your body chemistry. I use them sparingly because it's a bit intense and definitely the French vibe is different from Arden or D&G.

One I can't find here in Ireland is Kenneth Cole New York, and it's an absolutely wonderful fragrance, very strong but powdery and vibrant.

lox.

LolaLuv

Does anyone know if the perfumes from La Senza have any staying power? I was in the shop today and liked the scents, plus they were reasonably priced, but I won't bother if the smell doesn't last.

Loxosceles

Yes.

Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, doesnt seem to last on me though, i like the perfume in hair idea, must try it!
and my friends swear by Lush but i walked in there last week with friends and headed straight out!, i felt as if i couldnt breathe!

metrovelvet

Rarely. And I there aren't many scents that bowl me over. I particularly dislike the entire Chanel range, especially No 5.

There was a perfume by Lanvin, cant remember what it was called, that was stunning.

cute_cow

i always wear perfume..

One for day - Calvin Klein - Eternity
One for night - Jean Paul Gaultier Classique

Its something I've always done, and can't imagine not wearing perfume.

I can understand why people don't but, each to their own.

metaoblivia

Rarely. I mean to sometimes, but I usually end up forgetting.

rainbow kirby

I don't wear it, I'm way too lazy to. I actually haven't found a huge amount of perfumes that I actually like either.

jellie

if i remember, which i usually dont. i have loads, some are presents that go back years at this stage.

the only 1 i wear regularly is amor amor, but thats more for going out than daytime.

sleepyescapade

Currently wearing B Spot by Benefit.
Other favourites include Britney Spears' Curious, Hot Couture by Givenchy and Coolwater Woman.

Anyone tried the burren perfumery scents? I've heard good things, but never tried them.
