Perfume question

[jcat]

I don't really have a favorite perfume. Usually I'll wear whatever DH gives me for Christmas or my birthday on special occasions, but not to work (one of my students right now is epileptic, and perfumes set him off, and a lot of people are allergic).

Scented shower gel and body butter duos are my weakness, and I generally alternate a couple of different scents at any one time. The current ones are blueberry, vanilla and moringa from the Body Shop, and I've got some others in reserve, because I stock up during sales.

Very Irresistible by Givenchy. I am sitting here looking at my empty bottle right now.

I also like Pink by VS.

I only use Oscar de la renta, perfume, body powder and lotion. It is the only kind that doesn't make me sneeze.

I wear a knock off of White Diamonds. I can't afford the real stuff.

I like it a lot and don't have to use too much. Just one spray will do it. If I use more, then I get complaints from my co-workers

I don't wear scents. I'm very sensitive to perfumes. . .I can barely use scented deodorant! (Although I did find one lightly scented one I like, Suave Tropical Paradise, which is good because I don't like how unscented deodorant smells). But I think it's interesting to learn that your body chemistry changes a perfume's scent. I never knew that before. Learn something new every day!

Occasionally I will go sniffing perfumes, find one I like, and spray it on. . .and after 10 minutes I want to either take a shower or rip my nose off. I don't know if that's because of my body chemistry or if it's just built up to the point I can't take it anymore. Probably the latter choice, because I usually spray it on my clothes and not my skin (it burns!). My brother has a scar from a chemical burn he got when he was little, when he spilled a bottle of perfume on himself. So I guess that kind of sensitivity runs in the family.
