Why the everyday perfume?

donnac2558

I have loads of perfumes. Current favourites from Parfumerie Generale.

Yes, I wear everyday.

Yup, wear it every day, it goes on right after deo (people do use that everyday regardless of whether they're going out, don't they?)

My fave at the mo in Guerlain Idyll, closely followed by l'instant d'ete, chanel No.5 is right up there, as is Ghost Enchanted Bloom and Dolce & Gabbana The One.

I use Samsara to freshen up the sheets mid-week.

I wear it everyday because I like to waft around on a little cloud of luxuriant lovliness, yes even when I'm gardening or just doing the housework.

That rather depends on whether I've bathed or not; my deodorant lasts for more than a day.

Who is in the garden with you?

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

You are allowed to smell nice for yourself you know, why do you assume people only need to smell nice for others?

**Migraine alert**
I can't wear perfume at all as even walking past the counters can bring me out in flashy- light headache hell I can manage perfectly well with a drop of jasmine or rose essential oil (not MSE at all but a decadent luxury) or lavender/ peppermint if I have a migraine .

I was brought up to believe that, if you can smell your own perfume, you're wearing too much. Going by the strength of others' scent, I still agree with that.

Enough said.

See above, I don't wear perfume for others, why would I?

What do you mean by "enough said"?

For the rest, see above.

I can't smell it all the time, neither would anyone else. You get wafts throughout the day, especially when you get hot like when you're gardening or ironing (much nice than smelling sweat).

I agree overpowering perfume that enters the room before the woman is not at all nice. No-one else would smell my perfume unless they were pretty close.

Perfume is my new craze. Sometimes my crazes are harmless or positively beneficial but ones like this aren't - I can't afford it!! But that's an issue for the psychologists

I'd like to wear it every day, but as most days I do nothing except maybe nip across to the shop, and I don't have visitors or a partner, it would be too wasteful. So I'm trying to stop myself from doing it. It's hard though - especially with my new Elie Saab which is gorgeous!

At the moment I've also got Alien, Armani Code, Womanity, Benefit's Maybe Baby and CKIN2U. I'm battling to stop buying any more until they run out...hopefully the craze will be replaced by something a lot more MSE soon...:o
