    I usually wear it for work, and when I'm going out at night. I havent worn it much in the last 8 weeks while I've been off work though. When I'm at work, I wear deodorant, Impulse body spray and perfume - I spray the Impulse on my arms as I encounter so many unpleasant smells then I can just put my arm over my face so I cant smell it :D

    At the minute I have Lady Million, CKIn2U, Vera Wang Princess, Angel, Armani Code and Lacoste Touch of Pink. Angel and Lady Million are my night-time perfumes although when I went out last night I was wearing Vera Wang Princess. I often get told I smell nice :) I hacked my mate off once as the guy she liked told me I smelled nice - I was wearing Vera Wang Princess - and she was wearing Avon perfume which he didnt seem keen on! I also had a singer from a certain boyband keep sniffing my neck once as I was wearing Angel and he has a thing about women who wear Angel :rotfl:

    I haven't really bothered wearing perfume since I've gotten pregnant. I was on the bus when I was still in early stages and some woman was wearing the most revolting, overpowering, disgustingly sweet perfume ever, it was that bad I threw up as soon as I ggot off the bus. Absolutely foul. I can't stand when people wear strong scents on the bus anyway as they can trigger a migraine.

    If I do wear perfume, I have to be careful because of the migraine issue but I do like Stella on a night out. One spray is enough to last the night and not singe anyone's nostril hairs!
    Have I helped? Feel free to click the 'Thanks' button. I like to feel useful (and smug). ;)

    As a bloke I think most women put on far too much perfume and they reek of the stuff especially in the morning.

    I dont want to smell perfume on a woman until I am within a foot of her. Last week I was filling up the car with petrol and the fumes were completely outperfumed but the lady on pump 4 it was overkill.

    Less is more.

    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.

    I was right in the middle of replying to you last night and my computer decided it was tired and switched itself off!:mad:

    Is is a nice bottle, but bear in mind that pic has the necklace wrapped round it so it's not quite the same. As for the smell, I'm hopeless at describing perfume! All I can really say is, it's a bit sort of spicy at first, and best for evening! I could say "hope that helps" but I know it won't:rotfl: x

    Just to say, if anyone likes Vera Wang's "Look", it's on BuyaPowa right now -100 ml, should go down from a RRP of £72 to £15!!! It's £18 at the moment.

    Oh dear, what did I say about not buying any more...:o

    I love perfume, for me it's a little extravagance that I can have everyday, I just just one spray on the wrists (spray on one then rub together) and a small spray on my neck.

    I have many lovely ones but tend to stick with Nina by Nina Ricci for daytimes that was until my birthday last week, the boyfriend got me Naughty Alice by Vivienne Westwood and it's the most heavenly scent to me at the moment!

    I do have others like Insolence by Guerlain, London by Paul Smith and a few others so sometimes I'll try and match the scent to my mood but I try not to wear too much!

    I wear perfume every day. My current favourite is Kenzo Jungle, I cannot get enough of this fragrance.
