Question of the Day - Tuesday, July 15

Hello there!  Hope everyone is having a charming Tuesday so far!



 

Do you use body spray or perfume/cologne? If so, what brand?
 

Coco Chanel Mademoiselle for me. 
 

Back when I sold Avon, I really liked the perfume called Haiku, but that was over ten years ago. I don't use anything fragranced since I have the birds. I just have to hope my au naturel scent isn't particularly offensive.

l rarely get the chance. l work in a clean-room so we're not allowed to wear anything perfumed (or even make-up!!).

When l go out l use Adagio, l love the scent. l also have some No 5 that l rarely use and l've had it forever. lt's probably rancid, l've had it so long.

Only if I am going out somewhere nice. I used to always wear perfume but my college was fragrance free so I stopped wearing it and just never started again.

I do not use any whatsoever! I haven't used any since "body mist" was a thing back when I was a young teen. Now just my deodorant, shampoo/conditioner and whatever my laundry detergent smells like. 

Ralph Lauren's Romance.

But my boss has a scent allergy, so I rarely get to wear it! 

I usually wear a couple spritz of body spray.  I switched to a natural, deodorant only (no antiperspirant) a few months ago and I'm still paranoid to go out without something.  No one has told me I stink yet...but..... 

If I wear true perfume its Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker.  I'm still nursing a bottle my mother gave me several years ago.  It helps I don't wear it often anymore.  

Years ago I had a client who was so scent sensitive she would start wheezing terribly.  One day another client came in bathed in that Axe stuff....  I had to get her out of the building and call a friend of hers to take her for breathing treatments!  That woman lost jobs over her allergy.    She did a lot of call center work and with the constant turnover; someone was always showing up for work wearing too much.

I was totally freaked out about this when I switched over too. I got so used to using Dove, which smells pretty strongly even if you're not sweating, and now I just use a brick of salt (the Crystal). It's been over five years and so far so good! Plus buying one lasts a SUPER long time.

Does it work for you? I'm not very sweaty at all and live in a year-round cool climate, so I don't need heavy-duty deodorants. I do light activity, like walking and housework, and I tried the Crystal once for several months. It was as effective as pointing a magic wand towards my underarms, maybe less.   

Yeah, I'm just over in Ontario and I seldom sweat too. When I am sweating, even on hot days, I don't smell anything. I'm not sure if it's just me though because I've been told my sweat (post-workout, let's say.. and I notice it myself too) doesn't smell like normal sweat. It's like a full body thing where none of it smells like BO, but it just smells "different". I can't put a description to it either, but if that has nothing to do with it, then I would say the Crystal works for me.

I stopped wearing cologne/perfume a couple of years ago when I had a student whose severe epileptic seizures were triggered by scents. Now I use scented shower gel and body butter.

i wear no perfume or body spray. i used to occasionally wear it, but these days i don't go anywhere that requires formal or dress clothing. in fact, i don't own any dress clothing or shoes.

I am a big sweater so wear a roll on and a spray. I don't leave home withoutln putting cologne on
I use diffferent ones when I finish a bottle. At the moment I'm used adore adore by chacheral
I uii

I used to wear White Linen from Estee Lauder every day to work.  I know it's an old fragrance but I always would come back to it.  Now that I work from home I very rarely wear fragrance anymore.

I don't wear it often, but I usually use some kind of body spray.  Dove, Degree, Bath and Body Works...anything that smells good.  Coconut lime has been one of my recent favs.

Usually I have enough scent coming from my soap, deodorant, and hair conditioner, so I don't use sprays often.

Oh, I used to wear Coco Chanel  years ago, it is so beautiful!  Currently I actually am a fan of patchouli - based scents.  And turned my 73 yr. old mom to them as well, she recently bought some patchouli cologne for us, we smell like incense/earthy/woodsy/nature! lol.  

Anything with vanilla. I love the scent of vanilla. Even my body butter and lotion are vanilla.

I use a couple of spritzes of Sand & Sable every morning, whether I'm going anywhere or just staying home. 

On the rare occasion that I wear cologne, I have a bottle of Acqua di Gio that my wife got me. She loves the scent of it. She also likes the scent of me w/o cologne, so I have no motivation to use it. It's also one of the few colognes that won't give me headaches or make me sneeze. 

I make my own out of pure essential oils and witch hazel.  Then I know what's in them as I'm really sensitive to some chemicals.
