Why the everyday perfume?

well the make up thread has completely bamboozled me, so what about perfume?

I wear perfume every day, I love perfume, I dont know why, I have loads of different types

I would say my favourite is Escada Sport the green one, used to be called country weekend. Its hard to find over here.

Im also wearing a lot Lush Gorilla Perfume 'Love'. Its a solid perfume and I love it.

Second to my Escada favourite is Aqua di Parma, Iris Nobille, thats very nice and quite hard to find sometimes too

I have loads of perfumes that give me a terrible headache, which is a real shame but I dont want to get rid of them. Laura Ashley is one of these and so is Lush 'the olive branch'.

Whats your favourite and do you wear perfume everyday and if so why?

    J'adore- favourite but also love Anais Anais, Chloe Tom Ford Black orchid etc and so many more.
    I dont fel properly dressed until I've put my perfume on in the mornings, its the final step after clothes and make up.

    I don't see the point in wearing perfume when gardening or housework.

    I wear some sort of fragrance whenever I go out and usually put some on even if I'm not going out anywhere during the day for my partner's benefit but as she isn't here right now, I've been a bit lazy about that!

    I agree, but if I haven't got time to shower after a workout I'll put some Molton Brown Air of Joy under my arms - and you'll find me sniffing myself for the rest of the day! ;)

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I was just about to post the same thing.

    When I do go out my favourite perfume is Karma from Lush. I only ever buy the small handbag spray at £9 a bottle and it lasts me about a year so very MSE :)

    My OH tells me I smell nice when I've just used shower gel and washed my hair. No need for overkill with perfume too!

    I don't have the sort of skin that takes scent very well, it sometimes smells a bit gone off or something. I'll wear it very occasionally to go out, but it will be one of those tester sized bottles that you get from duty free shops. I quite like Anais Anais (if they don't make that any more it shows how long I've had it! :o).
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

    Daytime Sprays I love and use regularly Boss Orange, Nina Ricci - Nina, DKNY - Be Delicious and Ralph Lauren - Ralph.

    For night time I like Chanel - Chance and Gucci Guilty
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.

    There's nobody to smell it in the garden or the kitchen!
