Do you wear perfume/cologne/body spray?

[misa.j]

I have a very sensitive nose, probably due to the long onion treatment I recieved, must have shocked and opened up my sense of smell.

I have noticed that some men wear as much cologne as women nowadays. Two of my male co-workers wear so much that I can smell it on me in the car on my way home.
They also make me sneeze when I'm around them. Some people can go overboard, it seems.

I don't wear any perfume or body spray, but there are some scents I really like. The smell of peaches is my favorite and another one that's kind of strange is the smell of shampoo mixed with cigarette smoke.

Do you have your favorite scent?

 

[nice gaijin]

I use a bit of deodorant spray, but not very much as I don't really sweat all that much. If I wear cologne, I prefer Armani Mania in moderation; everything else smells too strongly of rubbing alcohol.

favorite scents? there are so many! I love the smell of real flowers and home cooking. One smell I really dislike is a car's air-conditioner when it is first turned on.

Nothing with fragrance.

 

[Ma Cherie]

Yes, I wear mostly body spary. Sometimes I think perfume is too strong. I have some favorites from Bath & Bodyworks, like Cotton Blossom and White Cherry Blossom. Body spray is a preference for me because it's not as strong.

I wear Gucci rush perfume with a passion, I used to have incredible mind-blowing something something with this one Japanese girl who always wore that when I was a kid and now look at me, wearing radies perfume.

Oh and when I smell Tommy girl perfume I go crazy too, but I won't wear that I just wear Gucci Rush perfume for women.

I used go out with perfume sprayed on me.
But due to my nose allergy I quit using very soon lol.

 

[kirei_na_me]

I wear it in moderation.

I wear Gucci Rush 2, L'eau D'Issey, and this "relaxing" fragrance by Shiseido.

All three are pretty subdued, because I can't stand strong-smelling cologne.
Unlike nice gaijin, I actually like the smell of the A/C when it's turned on in a car. Call me weird. I like the smell of chocolate chip cookies baking, I like the smell of rain, I love the smell of hair with a lingering shampoo scent, I like the smell of leather...there are so many things.

The olfactory sense is so strong. One wiff of something, and I can be taken back to another place and time, I can feel relaxed, or sometimes, I can get turned on by it. Smell is a powerful thing.

My favourite scent is calvin klein Eternity, I now use calvin klein One, it is also good, but eternity is best.

 

[Silverpoint]

Ban Zero, because it's one of the few sprays in Japan that actually is anti-perspirant as well as deodorant.

 

[ginyu]

49 cent deodorant from the supermarket. YAY. Ladies know why!

 

[DoctorP]

Wow Rachel you and Ghettoboy use the same perfume! Maybe you have more in common!

 

[kirei_na_me]

I don't think so, CC1.

He uses Gucci Rush. I use Gucci Rush 2.

 

[DoctorP]

ohh....my mistake...but I'm sure he wears women's garments, maybe you guys could go shopping together!

To answer the question, I wear deoderant and sometimes Axe body spray...but only on really hot days.

 

[Mycernius]

On occassion I will wear deodorant, but I have a fairly sensitive nose and a strong pefume or scent will make me sneeze like crazy. Byproduct of my dust allergy I think.

 

[Pachipro]

I'll wear Aramis 900 herbal body cologne once in while, but that's about it. Have not worn any deodorant in more than 30 years since I found out how unsafe it is for the body.

 

[Tempestuous]

Sometimes I think they have no noses!!!!

Misa.j you aren't the only one with such issues of others cologne/perfume hygiene tactics!!!!
Personally, I think it looses it's appeal when they BATHE in it rather than dab a little on. I like a light smell that you smell when in/or near their personal space not one you smell HOURS after they leave due to their excess!

As for deodorant- they now have many Aluminum free products and there is a wide range of other items that can be used to prevent body odor that are good for those that are health conscious/ concerned of side effects.

 

[Flashjeff]

Just anti-persperant/deodorant for me. I've always been a minimalist at heart.

 

[RockLee]

Axe or adidas deodorant, especially with this hot weather. And when I go somewhere I use Emporio Armani White (I picked it up in Finland airport). I don't BATHE in it though, some people just overdo it !

 

[Mikawa Ossan]

I wear unscented deodorant, because I don't want the Bush administration coming after me for WMDs! (Not that the deodorant here in Japan is very strong, mind you.)

The only scent that I wear is Allure by Chanel. Not every day, either. Just when I go out on the town. I do not wear it to work. I have always been very conscious about using too much, so I always use just one spray. (I mean just one push of the button thing.)

 

[kirei_na_me]

I can't stand it when someone has just bathed themselves in cologne.

I spray it like two times and walk through it. I never spray it directly on my body.

 

[kooo]

I wear a body spray that smells like vanilla icecream ^^~ So good.

But my favorite perfumes are green/white tea and tea tree oil.

 

[ghettocities]

Wow Rachel you and Ghettoboy use the same perfume! Maybe you have more in common!

There is a huge difference between Gucci Rush and Gucci Rush 2, also there is a difference from Gucci Rush to Gucci Rush for men, that's why I wear Gucci Rush women's perfume, wherever I go every girl loves it and it was made for them to wear!

ohh....my mistake...but I'm sure he wears women's garments, maybe you guys could go shopping together!

I don't wear women's garments, just designer jewlery like Tiffany & co which I bet you $5 you couldn't wear a Tiffany .925 tag bracelet because you aren't thin enough


I'm thin enough

[Davey]

lol, over to personal attacks... always funny. aghum

I wear Lancome (Miracle) at the moment, but before I had diesel, Dolce, CK, and some other stuff... havn`t found my fav parfum yet.

 

[misa.j]

I did exactly the opposite what Josh does when I was about his age; I used to wear cologne for men just because someone I liked used it, or I just liked the scent for men better in general.

"CK One" was extremely popular among my friends who lived in a dorm, and the whole floor smelled like it where they lived.

 

[Damicci]

Nautica Cologne.
Or Dial Soap and Irish Spring deoderant.
I also Lke Hugo Boss, and Farenheit. But I think Nautica has th ebest smell. You can use a ton of it and, it is not strong at all.
As a kid I used to wear my mom's reeboks. Nobody ever knew the difference.
