    I love wearing perfume everyday too, even if I go out without make up on, I have to have perfume.

    I wear it for me, not to please anyone else. I wear it regardless of if I'm with someone. I've often have a spray before I go to bed too.

    All time favourites are Guerlaine Insolence, CK Eternity & Obsession, YSL Paris, Givenchy Ysatis, Marc Jacobs Lola, Chanel Cristalle, 212 and 212 Sexy but generally, I like most perfumes.
    One that really doesn't suit me is Cacharal Eden, that smells awful on me.

    I love a man to smell nice to.

    I love wearing perfume every day too, it makes me feel very feminine. Daytime scents include EA Diamonds, CK Euphoria, Lacoste Inspiration, Especially Escada and Ghost Deep Night. Evening perfumes include Mugler's Alien, Prada Tendre, Dior Hypnotic Poison and Gucci.

    Now I'm single I only wear it if I'm going out somewhere-anywhere!Before that,I'd always put some on before the (now)ex arrived,always liked making an effort:o

    My favourites are Noa by Cacharel and Rouge by Christian Lacrouix (that's more of a sexy one used for nights out and when I wasn't single lol).

    I don't use others often at all and have never bought many,despite often being tempted by pretty bottles!There was one I loved actually,but can't remember what it was now :(

    I sometimes cut through Boots on my way to Sainsbury's during my lunch break and I always hold my breath and pick up the pace when going through the perfume area - it really makes me feel ill, and I don't know why people want to smother themselves in such unnatural odours.

    I had a boyfriend who had a thing for that Yves St Laurent aftershave (trying to remember the name now, think it was called Opium), and to be honest he smelt like an old woman when wearing it. He bought me a bottle of the female equivalent perfume and I'm sure it cost him quite a bit of money, but I only wore it because he liked it.

    I don't have the sort of skin that takes scent very well

    Ditto! I love the Kim Kardasian one on everyone else but it smells foul on me. The only perfumes I'm able to wear are Chanel, I love number 19 and currently have the Coco Mademoiselle one.

    I love perfume, wear it every day. I have a few on the go that I alternate between:

    Britney Spears Fantasy, Prada Infusion d'Iris, Lacoste Touch of Pink, Diesel Fuel for Life (I think that's it's name, was a mini bottle), Ghost, and Wish by Chopard (gotta be in the mood for that one though as I find it a bit strong... could even be gone off? How long do perfumes last anyway?) I had a tester of Womanity that I loved so would like to get a bigger bottle of that.

    I always wear it, even when i'm sat at home on my own.

    Usually ghost, flowerbomb or ck eternity.

    I love coco mademoiselle too but it doesn't seem to like me much.

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

    You don't shower? Or wash your pits and reapply your deodorant daily at least? _pale_

    I love that bottle!! :D

    What sort of scent is it? I love Alien but as it's quite heavy only wear it for going out/evenings.
