Perfume

Yes Janipat, mine's mostly eau de parfum.

I must try that JenniferEccles I love rose scent.

Judy54 I imagine a few of us refer to perfume when we actually use eau de toilette or eau de parfum rather than the pure perfume.

Every day now! Couldn't wear it at work due to possible contact with patients with allergies, etc etc. So, since I retired I wear it when I want to!

Same here Judy54!

Prefer Eau de toilette find perfume to strong. Use it quite a lot in the winter but never in the Summer as it seems to attract the mosquitoes who love to bite me!

My hair protection spray has now become my perfume as the perfume I wear seems to have been discontinued. I've had many compliments and it's much cheaper!!

JenniferEccles----Paul Smith does a true rose scent called ( you guessed it!)---Rose. L'Occitane also does one.

kittylester someone told me years ago to spray a little on your hair. She said how smells do seem to cling to your hair (and I suppose clothes like you were told). Seems to work.

I spray it on the neck of whatever top I'm wearing otherwise it seems to disappear.

My jumper drawer smells lovely.

Every day, couldn't be without it.

Every day. I have used the same on for years and feel it is my signature. ann, perfume no longer stays on me so I was advised to spray it on my clothes. That works for me!

Every day, although I do like to wear different ones for summer and winter, also more sophisticated scents for special occasions. There’s no point not using them and keeping them for special occasions.
I always store them in the original box.

Spraying on perfume is as much part of my routine as brushing my teeth. Even if I’m staying in and clearing the cellar (which is what I’m supposed to be doing right now ).

I wear perfume whenever I go out. I have different summer and winter perfumes. At the moment I’ve got the modern version of Opium and it’s lovely.

JenniferEccles, have you tried Chloe in their rose version? My son gave me some and it’s lovely. It’s light and not an old fashioned rose scent. www.johnlewis.com/chlo-roses-de-chlo-eau-de-toilette/p619530

Every day. A light one for daily use and a heavier perfume if I'm going out.

Hildagard I was told it’s up to 5 years if stored out of sunlight

When it smells rank ?

Still on the same subject, how long can you keep perfume?

Every day. I have about six to choose from. Two are my mum's favourites. And one reminds me of being young if I'm feeling nostalgic. Other than that just the scent.

I think we all need to be aware that we get used to certain smells including perfume, so the temptation is to put more and more on.

The problem then of course is that others recoil from the strong smell as I often do when I come across a strong aroma!

I only wear it when I go out somewhere special.

At the moment I am searching for a rose scented one if anyone has any suggestions.

Looks like my new regime is long overdue!

Part of the daily routine, moisturise and then spray perfume. If I go out during the day I may spray a little more before leaving the house.
I too have noticed that perfume does not seem to last as long on the skin, maybe it is just me and others can smell it. I use a lot of Jo Malone and it used to linger for ages.

Very rarely these days, never even think of putting any on.
I think I find a lot of them smell so strong, often going round the supermarket you get this smack of someones heavy perfume.
I don't like strong smelling things as I get older - hate smelly candles for instance, even rush past them in the shops.

Every day - perks me up and I like to smell nice.
