Happy perfume by Clinique

Can't afford perfume, so it's eau de cologne for me.
My fave: Amarige by Givenchy (the guy who designed all of Audrey Hepburn's clothes - see Funny Face, gorgeous gowns!)

I have this too and wear it occasionally.

Yes, it's a lovely fragrance. I only wear it when I go out - I use it sparingly. At $60/bottle, it's pretty steep just for cologne.

When I purchased it, I was fortunate enough to work for an entity that had it for a discounted rate. Good scent and good price. Bonus!

I mostly wear perfume. Cologne has too many added chemicals and makes my allergies explode. 1/4 oz of my perfume is 128.00 so I use it sparingly. A dab or four.

I wear Hummer Red every day. Beyond that I use Sappo Hill oatmeal and cucumber soaps.

cologne...burberry weekend. i love the hint of lemon grass

Rose et Reines eau de toillette from L'Occitane en Provence. Starting monday, i can wear it again!

Zimmeh

My Cologne of choice is either Armani Code or Drakar Noir. Makes the women swoon

Cologne for me. Aqua di Gio by Giorgio Armani or stetson caliber.

It's the new old spice scent of the ocean

Neither.

Some people are sensitive/allergic to scent; don't bathe in it...if I can smell your scent from my bubble 3 feet away, you are wearing too much.

When I worked in an office we were not allowed to wear scent that could be smelled by anyone else, and it made for a happy office. When I used to hire and fire, if I could smell scent during the interview they didn't get hired. Period.

When I get hugged at church and have to wear your scent for hours, YOU BATHED IN IT. When your scent lingers behind you, YOU BATHED IN IT. I don't care how good you THINK you smell, I DON'T WANT TO SMELL YOU!!!!

Just make sure you shower and wear clean clothes, that is good enough for me.:hangloose:

Same for me. Aqua di Gio by Armani. The people who invented this scent are just genius.

So very true!!

My asthma is triggered badly by heavy colones and perfumes.

In nursing school and every medical/clinical/hospital environment I have ever worked in; scents were forbidden.

Can you imagine working with a patient in the hospital, with severe COPD or asthma, walking in bathed in a scent? There you go triggering a new respiratory event!

I wear Mademoiselle.

I am probably one of the people who wears too much. People have correctly guessed it from me just walking by

I only use two dabs though! One at the throat and one for both wrists to share

I wear mostly body spray, as perfume is usually too potent for me. I have nearly choked passing by someone with perfume that was too strong. I love smelling good, and I love when someone smells good for me too, especially cologne!

I know I do okay most of the time because she was okay with me and she was really sensitive to that stuff.

The state claimed imminent domain so we had to work in a construction trailer for the duration of her employment.

Texas is hot and hot people are sweaty plus there are a lot of smokers in that area and those that bathed in their cologne. Put those folks with her in a tiny trailer and she was not happy.

She knew all this and still kept silent through the hiring process. Poor thing didn't last long there, for that and other reasons. She left right after I got back from one of the Reunions, actually.

I may have said it before but I use a variety of scents because I never know what kind of mood I will be in. I may be in a sultry mood and my cucumber melon perfume wouldn't work in that case, for example. My go to scent is Provocative Woman. It just depends on my mood or, if I know I'm going where there are scent sensitive people, I'll just go sans extra scents. My deodorant (a must!) is a nice pear scent and that doesn't seem to bother anyone.

I mostly smell like Lush's Dirty. Its a body spray that works really well as a deodorant. I started getting allergic to stick deodorants and after a while of using Axe body sprays decided to switch to something more natural. That's usually the only kind of "scent" I wear daily.

But if I'm not going to work or if I'm going out and know I won't be around someone I know has an allergy I'm still a fan of Adidas colognes. The one I mainly use now is Adidas Moves (Him) that I like a fair bit. I also really like Adidas Deep Energy which is the one I've used the longest. I also like that they both smell pretty good but are slightly more subtle too (at least to my nose).
