Do you wear perfume? If so, which brand(s), and how often (every day, special occasion, different scents for different things)?

WinesNotWhines · January 2012

Very rarely. I have a couple of bottles - Philosophy Amazing Grace and Calvin Klein Euphoria - that I'll use on special occasions, but I only wear perfume a few times a year.

I do like scented lotions though, and I use those regularly.

vtkgirl77 · January 2012

Yes, I put on perfume almost everyday but I do it sparingly so it's not too strong. As far as "different scents", I don't do that. I have decided that I want to only own one bottle of perfume at a time. When it gets used up, I go buy another. I think perfumes are so expensive that I don't want to have tons of bottles sitting around that would take years to use up. So, I just use them one at a time and if I get tired of a scent, I get a new one the next time. I think the brand I have now is Halle Berry something. I got it at Kohls with my coupon and it smells pretty good so I'll probably get it again when this bottle is empty.

MrsPhilDunphy · January 2012

I wear Benefit's Something About Sofia almost everyday during the fall/winter. During the summer I usually switch to Givenchy Very Irresistible Summer Cocktail or L'Occitane Cherry Blossom.

I don't wear anything in particular for a special occasion. Just whatever I feel like. I have a bunch of other fragrances that I use when the mood hits (most were freebies from back when I did product reviews).

Mrs.Handy · January 2012

Rarely. On special occasions like every 1-2 months.

I have like one scent that DH bought me (Burberry) a year or two ago.

Pam&John · January 2012

Yes. I am currently cycling through different scents: Chanel No 5, Donna Karan Cashmere Mist, and CK One. All were gifts from husband or son....

kastle · January 2012

well, i've started wearing a scent lately. white citrus body splash from bath & body works & rose from l'occitane (sp? this actually might be perfume come to think of it) are my favorites right now. my only perfume right now is an old bottle of pink peppercorn from body shop & i tend to wear this when i get dressed up.

I'm picky about perfume & it's hard for me to find one I LOVE enough to pay the price.

KtotheJ · January 2012

I wear it when I go out socially - I wear D&G Light Blue 90% of the time and Marc Jacobs Daisy the rest of the time. In the summer I usually wear Burberry Summer or DKNY Be Delicious.

KelXoXo · January 2012

I used to wear Ralph Lauren romance every day...since like 1998. But since Guinevere was born and she loves snuggling in my neck, I've only worn it twice, for date nights.

tomandcourt · January 2012

I didn't even think about different scents for different seasons . . . I am so not a fragrance person.

I have some Estee Lauder Pure White Linen, which I like but only wear on special occasions. I also have a green tea solid perfume from L'Occitane that I use when I remember, I love that smell.

DH wears a little cologne every day, and changes it up with the seasons now that I think about it.

ch ch ch chia · January 2012

I can't... I haven't seemed to find one that doesn't give me a headache or make it hard to breathe. This used to only bother me when I'd walk through the perfume department, but it seems to have gotten worse as I get older. Once in a while, I feel like I'm going to be sick on the Metro because of other people's perfumes.

sarahelisabethm · January 2012

I usually wear perfume if I'm going to church or out on a date with DH. My favorite is Thinking of You from Mary Kay, but I also have amber perfume from Bath and Body Works that I'm a fan of. I'm not really much of a perfume person.

SecretServiceWife · January 2012

I do when I go out, but not to work.

I usually wear Burberry (the original one) unless its 5 million degrees out, then i'll wear Escada Moon Sparkle. Another one that smells good that I always forget I have is Elizabeth Arden Green Tea.

ETA: Who here remembers Revlon Fire & Ice? I think one of the teachers that teaches here wears it. lol

mssaint · January 2012

I wear it when I think of it, which isn't every day.

I wear Philosophy Amazing Grace and Falling in Love, and the Body Shop White Musk the most. I also have several Bath and Body Works body splashes and wear those during the summer.

I have recently started getting Birchbox and there is usually a fragrance sample and I have been wearing those. I actually quite like the Juicy Couture fragrance that was in the January box, but I probably won't buy a full size bottle for myself.

cheekywife · January 2012

almost never. perfume tends to trigger DH's allergies/asthma so . . . i did love burberry brit when i did wear perfume. i do like scented lotions and the pacifica eau de toiltette. i should get more of that actually (since it didn't bother DH's allergies)

jenn248 · January 2012

I've just started wearing it again on a semi-regular basis. My favorite is Michael by Michael Kors, but most of the time - if I remember to put it on - I just use Dream body spray from the Gap, since it isn't as strong of a scent.

victoria1212 · January 2012

I do wear it. Currently, Calvin Klein Eternity Summer and Michael Kors Island. And, I really like Bobbi Brown's Beach. Obviously, I have a theme.

I just like lighter scents....

Hey Jellisy · January 2012

I usually only where it on special occasions and then I wear Allure by Chanel or Anias Anais.

veruca5839 · January 2012

I wear it everyday. I love perfume. My absolute favorite is Chanel Chance, I've been wearing it for years. There are a lot of other perfumes I really like too, many are Ralph Lauren fragrances.

LizO11 · January 2012

To work I tend to wear a Bath and Body Works scent (either Be Enchanted, or Dark Kiss) and when I go out I wear Clinque Happy.

megstoo · January 2012

Usually - I LOVE Light Blue from Dolche and Gabanna

I wear it when I go into the office for work or meetings and on the weekends. I love that it's a light smelling citris fragrence.

schydukes07 · January 2012

I'm not a perfume person, but I've always wanted to be. :-P

I used to wear Gap Heaven every day (like high school through college), but my bottle is probably vinegar by now. Otherwise, I just wear Moonlit Path body spray from B&BW but mostly because it's purple. I need help!

Wine&Cake · January 2012

Whenever DH and I got out I wear perfume. Generally its either Gucci II or Le D Lolita Lempicka.

suecadence · January 2012

I wear Balenciaga and I love it. I tend to wear it everyday.

Mags&Mike · January 2012

I'd say about half the time I wear perfume. I wear Coach Poppy most often b/c it's in a rollerball and I can apply just a little bit so it's not too much for work. I also have and wear Escada Taj Sunset, Marc Jacobs Daisy and 212 by Carolina Herrara depending on the occasion/season. I picked them all, except the 212 that DH picked out for me.

Jitterbug2668 · January 2012

tomandcourt:

Yes everyday - mainly Victoria Secret's Very Sexy or Very Sexy Dare. If I want something lighter I go with a body splash from B&BW.

QueSrah · January 2012

I usually forget to put on perfume unless I get in the habit of doing it every day, so now it's mainly for date nights. I have the Cartier Delices perfume I bought for our wedding - I use it more in summer. And I have the Juicy Couture Viva la Juicy that I'm more likely to use when I remember to.

A few years ago a coworker got a bug up her butt that someone was wearing a strong perfume that was bothering her allergies or something. She was accosting everyone asking whether they had on perfume or scented lotion and I wasn't wearing perfume that day. But I had been wearing perfume for weeks before hand and it never seemed to bother her, so I always suspected she was just being a diva.

goteami6 · January 2012

Everyday. I got Coach Poppy for my birthday so that is the one I wear the most right now. I also have bottles of Ralph Lauren Blue, Jennifer Aniston, & Versace Couture, Vera Wang Princess...I may have a problem. I used to wear Victoria Secrets Heavenly all through college.

tracy042206 · January 2012

Only for special occasions and then I use Beautiful (I think by Sara Jessica Parker). Actually I have a bunch of old bottles because once I finish one I go on to a new one and then that scent always reminds me of that time in my life. Like Happy by Clinique will always remind of Jamaica with my DH (then bf) and Beautiful reminds me of my wedding day.

I do use Philosophy's Amazing Grace shower gel and lotion and then I have a little of the perfume as well for days I skip the shower.

Litasail · January 2012

Oooh, what a good question! I wear Jo Malone's Gardenia scent. I actually wore it for the first time on my wedding day, so whenever I put it on I get a nice memory. I probably wear it a few times a month.

preissless1 · January 2012

vtkendra:

This. And I'm a daily wearer of perfume. Currently my scent is Lolita Lempicka Midnight Passion that DH bought me on our trip to St. Maarten. I love it so much, and I've gotten so many compliments on it. I might need to make it my "signature" scent.
