Can you leave the house without spraying/perfuming yourself?

I sometimes forget to apply perfume or spray every morning I leave the house. I am the type that don't smell after sweating so it doesnt bother me. My husband can even come back home to apply cologne. What about you?

even I am not a perfume person Kwenge. Like you, I don’t smell at all. A person would really have to bury his nose in my armpits (yuck) to smell sweat. So I am perfectly OK without perfumes or body sprays and so is my husband. Moreover, if I use perfume, my dresses kind of smell stale…I don’t know, I just don’t like the smell of perfume in my dresses and sarees.

Wow, I am sure you look beautiful in a saree. Its one of the most sensuous drapes for women. How did you learn to wear a saree?

Alas, I think I should learn from you or someone who like you spraying/perfuming herself/himself before go out everyday. I am the one don't like make myself very fragrant or garb very colorful, I just like myself to be natural,don't even remember when I was perfume.But,actually, being a woman, I should have been the one like your guys...hehe....if needed,I may change my style.

If I leave the house without putting on perfume, I feel naked. I love to smell good. I collect perfume. When my daughters friends come over they ask my daughter if they can spray some. I by the expensive stuff sometimes. The imposters are almost as good. I love to smell good. I am the same way with air freshener. Believe it or not my husband is the same way. WORSE I think. lol. What is your favorite?

I use perfume but i can live without it. It doesn't bother if i forgot to wear it before i left for work. I don't really smell even when sweating and i just use perfume because i like the smell of them.

Yes. I can leave the house without perfume on. I have to have my shower and smeeling fresh and looking half way decent though. I used to never go out of the house at all until I had my shower and my hair was washed. I have to make sure to wear deodarant though. I would come back home if I ever forgot that.

i use different sprays for different occasions. sometimes i forget to spray perfume or cologne but i never will forget using an under arm deodorant cause i do sweat a lot. even if i spray cologne or perfume all over, i still wouldnt smell nice if i don't use any deodorant at all.

I don't worry about cologne that much. It is getting hotter outside and there is a bigger need for an anti=persperent but beyond that I see little need. Just look at it this way: with so many people sweating and not putting on perfume, how could you realy tell if you were the stinky one in a group of people!?

I am not a big fan of perfumes, though I have some really good ones at home. I for one cannot leave the house without a deodarant. I hate the thought of people smelling with sweat and i am very particular about it. There was a time when I had to very diplomatically tell my friend to use it. I just couldn't stand her sweaty smell.

Hello there kwenge! I always have my perfume, cologne and some other paraphernalias in my car. And have some in my bag too. So, if ever I have a "rush" appointment and forget to apply make-up or perfume then i don't have to come back home 'coz i already have it with me.
