Body Spray

Yardley Freesia and Bergamot is lovely, fresh and modern. Hospitals are quite warm and bergamot is so refreshing in warm weather.

I always loved 4711 but it's not so easy get anymore.

When I've been in hospital, written on the instruction leaflet has been a section asking me not to use sprays or scents of any kind, in fact just to have a shower beforehand. I'd check the hospital instructions.

And on the topic of all those scent booster/fabric conditioner additives……..what a load of baloney ! My mum and grandma never used the like and their laundry was spotless and smelled lovely.
Do you seriously think the use Comfort or Lenor in commercial laundries where hospital gowns and bed linen is washed???

The Impulse body sprays are nice. I think mine was only £1 in Savers or somewhere.

The OP went into hospital for 10 days in April

Hope all went well kupari.

Silly me - I didn't say - the light grapefruit fragrance is called Chance by Chanel .
It is fantastic and reminds me of one by Guerlain .

Yardley make a solid lavender roll on,very light to put on pulse points and not being a spray doesn’t linger in the air.

I like the lush body sprays but they’re quite strong. The Yardley ones mentioned earlier are fresh and light.

If money is no object the new Chanel perfume Chanel is a light citrus .
I certainly think that it would not be unpleasant on a ward .
My father wanted colognes to spray all over him .
No one complained .
Wishing good luck with your surgery . 💐

It's a treat when people smell nice.

Yardley make nice fresh flowery sprays .
I also like Marks and Sparks beautiful floral scents .

Many thanks to the ladies who answered my post, and gave suggestions. I am going to order my choice this morning. Valdavi thank you for your reply.

To ILovedogs22 you clearly hadnt read my question in full or you wouldnt have felt the need to give such a daft answer!

it always amazes me when someone asks for a suggestion or seeks an opinion that some of you feel the need to lecture or jump on them. Half the time you havent read the posters question correctly.

I thought it was light hearted an amusing to be honest…

I like the light flowery sprays by Yardley, rose, lily of the valley or lavender. Very light.

If you find a light spray that doesn't linger on the skin, I don't see it would be any more problematic than the fabric conditioner scents from patients' own nightclothes.
I can see it would make you feel fresher & give you a little lift to take a body spray in, & boosting your mood can make a real difference to your recovery time.

no perfumed spray, not appropriate

Just use a deodorant 😊 and take wipes to wash with

I hope it all goes well

I'd be wary of using anything with a noticeable perfume on a ward.
Many people have adverse sensitivities or even allergies.
This could include staff in close proximity who may be leaning over you.

I was going to mention that but didn’t want to appear insensitive. Perfume gives me a headache. Am I right in thinking that it’s banned in public places in some countries; Canada perhaps. I do like the fresh smell of 4711 cologne, though, if they still sell that.

Oh Kupari45, I think you might befuddle the male Doctor's if you were to use Opium perfume!!!
It is such a strong & sexy fragrance, rather too much for a hospital ward?
Maybe a fresh, light body spray/deodorant.
It can get a bit fuggy & hot in those wards. Good luck anyway.😄

I have used for decades "Clarins Eau Dyamisante" lovely fresh smell. Not over powering especially as I have worked in the NHS all my career and wore it to work.
Worth a sniff.

Soap and glory body spray is nice and lingers Boots have a good range.

Lily of the Valley body spray smells gorgeous, the scent lingers for ages.
My local Tesco sells it and I presume Boots stores also

I don't know if you can get hold of Fragonard perfumes easily in the UK . They were available at department stores last time I looked. They are officially a lower-mid-market type perfume but their floral sprays are so light that I use them as body sprays all the time. They don't linger long on the skin but the scent sticks to your clothes, nightclothes etc.
I use Rose and Orange Flower.
Best of luck in hospital.
