In order to make ourselves smell nice, other than bathing, most of us will spray or apply something on ourselves. I know of many male friends who use cologne. I know of many female friends who use perfume. Personally, I do not use perfume. I have never tried using and do not intend to do so.
I only use powder - baby powder to be precise.=P
I use baby powder when I was a baby. I am very used to the smell and till today (after 24 years), I am still using baby powder. Many of my friends find me weird. Of course, I think not.=P
I am sure all (if not, most) of you have used Powder at some point of your life. May I ask, are you still using it now? Or have you switched to Perfume/Cologne? Why? Why not?

Hi poohgal! Well, that's a coincidence. I use Johnson Baby Powder too even now. I think that's the most safest powder you can use on your face. I use perfume too.

nope i do not use powder any more. i use perfume sometimes, but not everday.
i think few people use powder unless it is prickly heat powder.
i don't really like the feeling of powder on my skin. with the humidity sometimes it becomes sticky very fast. and then there is another layer to wash off when i bathe. ;)

Hmm.. well, nowadays people see baby powder as a bit old fashioned already. But if you don't mind, why not?
By the way, there are other kinds of "baby powders" that smell differently (very nice too) so you might wish to consider them. Price around the same.
I only use it when I go back for reservist training. You know in the army, sometimes it is not practical to wash your uniform every wear. So to keep your body fresh and not stink the uniform in the first place, I use powder after bath and before putting it all.
Just enough lah, not too much to knock someone unconscious. Perfumes and cologne don't really go well with the military environment.
But of course, most people don't care and they stink the hell out of everything else. But I like to be considerate to others and myself.
As for normal day uses, if I go out, I dab perfume sometimes when I feel like it.

I've tried other brands before but still love the Johnson's Baby Lavender and Chamomile Powder best. It has a relaxing smell.. =D
Powder is definitely good for military environment. My brother used the Snake powder when he was in army. It is antiseptic too. =D
You dab your perfume before you go pak tor right? *wink* ;)

I have not used powder in many years. I used to use it when I was younger up until college. I don't know why I stopped using it, I just did. I don't wear a lot of perfume either I only wear it when I was working or if I went on interviews. I'm not working now so I don't remember the last time I wore perfume. I used to like the powders from Avon. It's been so long.

I use Talc powder sometimes for the scent, to smell nice. I became allergic to cologne and perfume in my 30's, it is very strange because before this age rank I used perfune and cologne and walked in the sun, thing that was never recommended and nothing happened. After shower, I use a scented body lotion and than apply perfumed powder. I can smell good without perfume or cologne by using this.
