Not much at all. Maybe once a year or so. I used to every day until I realized how badly some people react to it so now I don't just because I don't want it to affect any one.

I used to until I realized how much I hate smelling other people's perfume in public space! Not all perfume, mainly the musky ones. I fly regularly and one musky perfume offender is enough to make me ragey for the entire flight.

Not very often. As I've gotten older, I've become more sensitive to chemicals on my skin and in the air. I do love perfume though. I tend to stick with perfumed soaps (like LUSH) that don't bother my skin.

I walk into a cloud of one spritz of Marc Jacobs Daisy every day. It's a pretty light scent so I don't think it is bothering anyone. DD loves to put it on too but we monitor that because I don't want to buy a bottle every week!

I voted yes but it's not typical perfume- I stopped wearing that while pregnant with DD because of chemicals and hormone disruptors. I wear an essential oil perfume from Whole Foods- alternate between vanilla and Persian garden. So yummy.

I do, on occasion. In the summer I really adore Bobbi Brown's Beach, makes me feel like i am on vacation!

Yes, but I feel like perfume wears off of me quickly. I try to remember every day but usually it's more evenings we go out or if I have a special meeting for work and remember! ha

I used to pre-babies. But not anymore! Maybe for a date night out or on vacation with DH!
Chanel Chance, D&G Light Blue, Estee Lauder Pleasures are a few faves

Never. No one I know wears it any more, and I've quite lost the habit. And I like to look put together before I think about perfume. That just never happens lately

Pre- having a kid I used to everyday. Every since my first pregnancy, my sense of smell is so acute, I can't do it anymore. Perfumes bother me now, especially if someone wears too much.

I have Chloe on today. I usually put it on when I get to work.

Usually Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely. I've been wearing it since college and it's my scent! I do scale back sometimes when pregnant/nursing. But I just use a light spritz so my bottles last forever.

@littlejoy: that's one of my favorites based on scent alone! It's an extra benefit that it works well to calm me down! lol

@birdofafeather: I love that scent! It was mine for years...until MIL bought it and started wearing it. DH made me stop because the smell reminded him of his mom!

@littlejoy: ha, I just started putting on stress away instead of my perfume a few weeks ago!

@lavender: yeah, that's no good! My college roommate said it was such a nice faint smell that I smelled like baby powder, or "a baby's bottom".

Never. Everything in my house is unscented. I get horrible migraines from anything scented.

Daily!
Currently loving Burberry Brit and Vera Wang Princess. D&G Light Blue is an old stand by, too. Also loved Juicy Couture Couture. I am asking for Elizabeth James Black for Christmas !

@LindsayInNY: I stop because I don't want the perfume rubbing off on baby and also because (especially in the first few weeks) I really wanted to make sure my natural scent is what was imprinted on DD, as part of the bonding process
