How often do you wear perfume

Yesterday we went out for dinner (actually it was street food, eaten in a shelter on the seafront 😂) and to celebrate the occasion I spritzed on a bit of perfume. Similarly my husband used an expensive aftershave (usually he only bothers for weddings and funerals).

Anyway, it got me thinking. It takes me a couple of years to get through a bottle of perfume, I’ve got lots of it (mostly gifts from family and friends) and it’s all good stuff. So I have decided that (if I can remember) I’m going to wear perfume every day!!

Today I’m in my scruffy painting smock, but if this was smellyvision you would smelling Jo Malone’s Pear and Freesia. 😂

There is only one perfume I really dislike. It is Youth Dew. I’m sorry if it is anyone’s favourite, but I really do have to leave the room if someone is wearing it ☹️

Me too everyday...current favourite Moulton Brown Oud and something

Clinique Aromatics in black is my everyday perfume, but my going to work or going out fragrance is Fame by Paco Rabanne

I wear perfume every day, no point saving it.

Clinique Aromatics Elixir, all time favourite. Used to wear Rive Gauche back in the day.

Poppyred Sat 25-May-24 16:39:24

Only when going out, out. I only have two, Boss Orange Woman for daytime out and D&G No 6 for night out.

I would love some new perfumes but I don’t seem to like anything else. I cannot stand the smell of Clinique’s Aromatics, (sorry Kittylester😆). My daughters tell me that I have a distorted sense of smell. 🤣

Never, makes me sneeze.

Jo Loves brand. Pomelo fragrance. Often commented on. Only wear when dressing up, meeting company and usually that's lunch.

M0nica Sat 25-May-24 15:02:32

Every day.

I rarely go out anywhere special, so wear my Elizabeth Arden Blue Grass every day. I even spray it onto my washable pantie liner too, and let it dry! blush

I just never seem to remember. But I love "First" by Van Cleef and Arpels.

LottieLouise Sat 25-May-24 13:36:34

I wear perfume every day.

Parsley3 Sat 25-May-24 13:33:51

Every day for me too. I love to finish a bottle of perfume and crack open another one.

LOUISA1523 Sat 25-May-24 13:30:29

I have every day perfume and going out perfume ....where it every day

Our Yorkshire Lass always wears only a signature perfume. This one.

I love too many and enjoy choosing to limit my selection!

All my perfumes have memories. Of a time and place. For instance I was reading a novel on holiday in Lanzarote and Givenchy’s Amarige was mentioned. I bought some at Arricife airport and every single time I use it I remember that lovely holiday in Playa Blanca. Memories via scent.

Everyday, but best ones only on special occasions.

pascal30 Sat 25-May-24 13:03:28

L'Occitane Amber for me.. every day

GrannyGravy13 Sat 25-May-24 12:55:58

Visgirl I have two different Jo Malone hair fragrances, only tend to use them when going out out

GrannyGravy13 Sat 25-May-24 12:54:39

Everyday regardless of what I am doing, always Jo Malone. I use JM shower gel and hand cream.

These are my go to fragrances, always have at least one bottle of each (different sizes, for handbag )

Lime, Basil & Mandarin
Basil & Neroli
Orange Blossom
Wood Sage & Sea Salt

Visgir1 Sat 25-May-24 12:53:51

I put on at least once a day... Love the stuff. I'm a Jo Malone Grapefruit girl atm. But have about x5 different versions of hers as well depends where I'm going, I like Penhalligan ones as well.
I also use Jo Malone Hair perfume.

DH is the same, I always know when he's out of the shower, I smell the body spray and aftershave.

Germanshepherdsmum Sat 25-May-24 12:51:49

Every day. Something light if I’m not going out. Today it’s L’Occitane Roses. Favourites include Rive Gauche and Soir de Lune (Serge Lutens).

Gin Sat 25-May-24 12:49:43

Gosh I am amazed so many perfume wearers. I am not a hermit but I cannot remember the last time I smelt perfume on someone, I thought they had gone out of fashion. I cannot wear them now, they make me sneeze and sneeze and have not worn any since my twenties. My go to in those days was Gin Fiz and Je Revien. Who remembers those?

Jewelle Sat 25-May-24 12:38:23

Every day, Prada or Penhaligon’s Luna.

dragonfly46 Sat 25-May-24 12:37:44

I use Angel every day but the shop where I refill my bottle has now closed!

HousePlantQueen Sat 25-May-24 12:35:43

Everyday, earrings and perfume. I have a variety, but generally stick to one until it is empty then move on to the next. I note a lot of you use Jo Malone, when I am next at the airport, I shall have a spray and see which I like.
