I only wear what comes in Birchbox occasionally and take a sample or two on vacation. Sometimes it interferes with how I expirence food.
Are you on team perfume or team unscented? Do you have a signature scent? Where do you usually buy it?

I wear perfume everyday. Either Prada Candy or Dior Addict.
I will stop, as I did with DD, when I begin nursing again.

Only on special occasions. I find perfumes strong and they sometimes give me a headache, so I limit my use of them.

I've tried it several times but I just find it too overwhelming in terms of scent. There's only one perfume I ever liked and I can't seem to find it anymore so I don't bother with it.

If I have a bottle in the house (like get some as a gift) I will wear it. But I ran out and haven't bought more, so I haven't worn perfume in probably 6+ months.

Ever since I invested in Jo Malone, I wear it everyday! It makes me feel put together I don't like wearing typical perfume scents though, they are too overwhelming and give me a headache.

A couple times a month, I love my Very Irresistible smells, but it's the very last thing that comes to mind when I try to leave the house in the morning.

I wear it sometimes when I remember. I wear an Acqua di Parma scent in the summer and Prada Amber in winter.

Daily, I love it!
Prada Candy, Gucci Guilty, Flowerbomb, Philosophy Pure Grace or Zents Sun are a few favs

Very rarely- 1-2x per year? I have allergies and strong scents bother me. Hate it when people at work wear perfume.

Daily. I can't leave the house without it. I usually have about 3 at any given time that I alternate but my favorite is Coach Legacy.

I used to wear it occasionally, but I tried to eliminate most toxic things in my makeup/skin care routine so I stopped buying it.

Never. Even if I stand next to someone wearing perfume my eyes get puffy and my nose starts to run. I joked win my pastor and told him I am allergic to church because everytime I walk in I turn into a snotty mess. There's a high density of perfume wearers and I can't quite find a safe zone.

Only on very special occasions now! Used to wear daily but think it gave me headaches as haven't had any since I stopped. But I love my favourite scents too much to give them up forever!

I love trying new fragrances, but I am very sensitive to amber as it gives me a migraine. I have to be careful in checking the notes before I smell it (I use the fragrantica website).
My usual fragrances are Lancome Tresor In Love, Coco Mademoiselle and Marc Jacobs Daisy. I haven't been wearing any since I fell pregnant as everything was making me feel queasy/migraine, but I did buy Nuxe Prodigieux Le Parfum which smells sooooo nice.

Very very rarely. 99.9% of perfumes give me a horrible headache.

Nope ... I do wear an essential oil as perfume though, so, kind of. J just bought himself some cologne. Hope you like it, because I'm sure he'll be wearing it in HI. Haha.

Yes!! Every day I spritz a bit of Ralph Lauren Blue on my wrists after the shower. It's very light and I loooooove the scent. Been wearing if for years.

Rarely. I prefer a scented lotion instead. The smell of perfume can be overpowering to me so I don't want to do that to coworkers if they are sensitive!

Only for special occasions. I'm not a perfume fan for myself, I get headaches easily.

I wear perfume most days, I have about 3 different kinds I rotate between.

I used to wear it alllll the time to except at work (healthcare). Chanel allure, chance and Ralph Lauren blue. However when LO came along I stopped altogether. I wanted her to smell me, not perfume.

Only for special occasions at the moment. I don't like the thought of it rubbing off on my baby. I do love perfume though.

I love perfume but didn't wear it after I had LO. I just started wearing it again recently

@Autumnmama79: Why do you stop when nursing? Do you stop the entire time?
hostess / cantaloupe / 6486 posts
@.twist.: me too. A lot of them give me headaches. I'd like to have a signature scent but I just don't want to go through a bunch of scents I don't like first.

I have two special perfumes that DH has given me over the years and I love to wear them on special occasions, but I can't wear them every day since my coworkers are sensitive to scents. We are basically a scent-free workplace in order to prevent people getting migraines.

I used to put it on religiously every day, now its when I go out at night (once a week?) and on vacation. It used to be the last thing I did before leaving the house and I would even go back if I realized I forgot (and I wasn't outside of my building yet). But since having my son, I just don't. I guess when he was really tiny I was afraid he'd be sensitive to the smell or chemicals so I didn't. So then I just got out of the habit.
I'm still obsessed with scents though and I still find myself buying new ones. I like to buy rollerballs from Sephora so I can have a large variety.

I used to all the time. I haven't since DD2 was born though. She has really sensitive skin and I don't want to irritate it. I put some on the other day when I was going out and it was a nice treat haha.

I used to everyday until I had DS...it's enough that I get to brush my teeth these days
