Perfumes

It's called sillage. Those people probably know that they overdid it from the look/reactions of others, mistakes happen. Another thing people might not like about smelling perfume is that when the scent is the same with somebody else's, generally people don't wear perfume where I live, so I can get by with a scent that might be too popular elsewhere, I spray generously, it's called wearing perfume like French.

I understand that it's something one needs to wear with some considerations for others. If it still smells good though, even if it's overpowering your senses, please don't forget to compliment the wearer, then complain.

It's like body odor, right? Who am I to tell someone that the person stinks too much and should wear deodorant and how much. Some don't believe in the safety of deodorant products and in close quarters, I may not be able to tolerate the smell too long. The wearer don't know the sensitivity of other noses around that person, it's just a novice mistake or the person could be insecure, even a bit OCD about he/her scent of the day. Depending on the skin condition/parts and the temperature, perfume projects differently, even smells different. I'd also consider the possibility that the person may have needed an extra uplifiting magic that goes with what the person chose to wear, he/she could be masking something, like emotional difficulties.

Also some people feel naked without wearing perfume at all, it's a part of their wardrobe, and it takes finesse to execute it with perfection.

By the way, thanks for the idea for what to wear today, Dior Homme, it has a beauty shop smell, they call it lipstick note, are they almost the same thing? I don't recommend this for anyone, you'd have better luck trying flankers of DH. Intense, or vintage Intense which I never tried have good reputations.

The one that I wear the most right now is Bvlgari White Tea. It smells nice, it's a light fragrance for spring and summer, and it so happens to be the signature fragrance of the Ritz Carlton. When I wear it I feel...ritzy. LOL.

In fall and winter I wear Tocca Beauty Giulietta.

Just for fun I have a bunch of those Demeter Fragrances. The ones with names like tomato, birthday cake, laundromat...my favorite is Holy Water.

I love Anais Anais! I used to wear it in college. I used to wear Samsara by Guerlain, but I don't think they make it anymore. I recently wore Kenzo Amour and love it. Now I wear Magnolia by Gucci and get lots of compliments from men on it.

Putting on scent really makes me feel good. When I'm depressed, I should force myself to wear it. It might help lift my spirits.

I'm allergic to Shallimar and Chanel No. 5.

I don't like flowery, sweet scents usually. I like musky scents.
