wear perfume all you like, I am not bothered (you certainly won't attract me) but from the research out there (done by universities, not the Daily Mail )that you are ignorantly ignoring, it is a completely dumb decision. You are taking a very big risk imo when it comes to cancer. You are spraying untested man laboratory made chemicals from companies whos one aim is to make profit.

Soooo, basically, despite what you say, you ARE bothered. Why?

My body, my choice.

My bolding, your words. Which is it? untested? or researched?

I'm sure my husband will sleep easy tonight knowing I won't attract you with my perfume.

fine but your choice is risky and stupid, sorry to tell you

In your opinion.

And as it is my choice, and it doesn't affect you, cannot fathom why you feel the need to comment on it at all.

Getting back to the OP

Yes, I wear perfume every day. Incidentally I often wear essential oils but I do also wear perfume. I normally use perfumed (as in brand of perfume i.e. ghost, hugo etc) shower gel. If I'm using that (as opposed to normal shower gel) I don't top it up with a spray of perfume so that I don't over-do it.

Perfumes have existed long before 1900!!

One of the perfumes my mother used to wea was made by a company founded in 1798. I wear a perfume from a very old italian perfumier also pre dating 1900. In fact while i would certainly agree the ingredianta have changed would suggest our nostrils are less attacked than they used to be, what with the lack of open sewers and the lessoning of pot pourri and pomanders.

If perfume causes cancer then most of us would be dead by now!

People before 1900 used to put some godawful stuff on their skin... but well you know - Daily Mail thinks everything causes cancer Russell Howard says it perfectly:
