Just a random question How often do you wear perfume? I realised that though I have a bottle of very nice perfume, I only put it on when I am going out of an evening! It’s going to last for ever, so a late resolution I will wear it every day , put it on when I clean my teeth!

Everyday . Except when I worked with severely autistic young people with complex needs . Just in case they found the fragrance challenging.

Hetty58 I would never have thought of that. I feel a bit guilty now. I would imagine it's quite a problem nowadays.

Every day. No point in keeping as it will go off.

It’s a shame perfumes have to be so expensive. It seems such an extravagance when there is so much poverty in the world.

annep1, supermarkets are dangerous. I can avoid the laundry and shampoo aisles, but not the people!

Many thanks to those who have suggested a few rose scented perfumes to try.

Much appreciated. I will try them out, and may buy more than one if they are not too expensive!

It’s such a personal thing isn’t it?
I have tried a lot in department stores recently but so many seem to smell much the same.

Hetty58, theatres even more so! I end up becoming very itchy.

Paul Smith's 'Rose' is lovely.
It smells just like the rose petals on beautiful, full bloom garden roses. smile
I love flowery smells, and I wear perfume most days.

Very very rarely
So many people have scent sensitivities.

Now that I''m older I don't use much. Splashing a little bit of cologne (or fragrant skin lotion) on a wet washcloth and spreading it all over provides a sufficient amount of subtle fragrance. On very special occasions only, I may splurge by placing a drop or two of the good stuff behind my wrists and ears.
