Do you wear a fragrance every day?

Nov 1, 2011 10:39 PM

Women - a cologne, perfume, scented hand/body cream.
Men - an aftershave or cologne
For both - scented bath soap, oils, liquid shower washes, etc.

Though retired, I wear a scent every day. For myself. Love old favorites like Chanel No. 5, Rive Gauche, Youth Dew and on and on. Sicily and Aromatics Elixir. Have a huge collection to select from. Love Azuree - a fragrance made for women after Estee Lauder discovered that women were buying Aramis, a men's cologne, to wear themselves! Love Aramis & wear it, too. Anything w/Patchoulli in it.

For those who are allergic to fragrances - I'm so sorry! My posts are scent-free.

If any, what to do wear? Every day, when you remember, or just special occasions? What do you love to smell on other people?

I've tried aftershave and cologne, but ultimately decided I don't need them.
My hair is really thick, and I generally keep it at a moderate to medium length (I prefer to say "cavalier" rather than "shaggy" ;) ). Since I shower twice, daily, and use generally, more expensive shampoos and conditioners, I can guarantee that real subtle, but wonderful scent, that will make people have to lean in to make sure I'm the one that smells so good :3
As for brands: I'm probably the only guy you'll find scouring the new line of Paul Mitchell or Tigi products.

Usually it is just deodorant. But sometimes if I am feeling a little crazy I will spray on some cologne. Currently using Nautica.

Always. Currently a pure-vanilla scent from Key West Aloe or one or two others my spouse buys for me. For years my one-and-only was Aliage by Estee Lauder, but my spouse's nose is super-sensitive and he doesn't like it.

Definitely not.

So many things are already scented, why add to the list of competing smells? Soap is scented, and deodorant and laundry detergent(although I use unscented), etc etc. Don't forget, clean skin is a nice smell all on its own.

I use unscented deodorant and lightly scented bodywash. I've been wearing Emporio Armani forever.

Just a spritz on the wrist and dab on the pulse points. No one likes to smell someone BEFORE they enter the room.

Wish I could, and used to. So many people are allergic/sensitive to everything on the planet these days it just becomes too much of a topic, so when I go to the office I just skip it.

Sadly, if perfume is even mentioned in passing in a public place there is a guarantee someone will go off on a tirade about it.

It's a bit of a downer and I've culled a lot of scents I used to enjoy because of it. It's not that I want to hate on people's allergies. I'm sorry they're allergic. I just like smelling pretty things. (There's no point of having much of what I cannot enjoy, however.)

Other people are why we can't have nice things. ;)

Yes, I actually own multiple colognes and I try to swtich it up on the regular. Since i was young, my mom gave me a complex about smells (also a fresh breath nut).

I don't use a lot: spray, delay, then walk away.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
