getting the right and nice perfume can give you confidence. i always put on perfume whenever i go out. there are some perfumes though that gets a litte bit too strong such that it smells like grass already and can even give headache to others.

i go for victoria secret and gap sprays. body sprays are a lot cheaper than the actual perfumes but perfumes do last longer.
I have an officemate who knows someone who sells branded perfumes at a lower price. It is not an imitation, it still is the real thing. What she has is the tester perfumes. It is really 40% cheaper! I can get the Paris Hilton and the Elizabeth Arden and just file payments in our cooperative at 6 amortizations hehehe...

This is an interesting discussion. I am not sure you need to spray on perfume to get noticed.I think how you are to others, is what gets you noticed. As for, "do I turn my head, if a person passes by who has sprayed on perfume". Well, that would be a yes, if the perfume is super strong and I feel like I might blackout coz I can't breathe!
But seriously, I don't like strong smelling perfumes. I think perfumes should make one feel fresh, yet they should not be so strong that others might get a headache due to them.
I always spray on a deo or perfume when I go out. It makes me feel fresh, like I have just had a bath.

You smarty. I see that you want to carry on this talk. That is wise. A discussion is after all a conversation. Good going!
Well, I have a few that I use. I have a Nike Women's deo called "Urban Musk". I love it. It stays with you for a long time and is not strong, yet smells fresh.
In perfumes, I use Escada and Hugo Boss-Deep Red.

hello acie my friend!
actually, there are times that a person can catch my attention with the perfume they are using...haha coz there's this perfume brand for men that really turns me on...haha and whenever i smell this perfume, i feel like i want to smell that person till the smell is gone...hahaha
but anyway, i think putting on the right perfume can really help a person to be noticed...as long as its really nice smelling! coz there are some who puts perfume that's so strong! huh! that kind also gets attention but makes other people annoyed...hehe
so choosing the right perfume and putting just the right amount is important...
as for me, i don't always use perfume when i go out...haha i use perfume depends on[ the situation...
i use cologne more when i go out...
i use perfume when i go to church and some occasions...

i can use any cologne...from sweet scent to fruity to floral...anything! as long as its good for my smell & i find it refreshing... but right now i am just using local colognes...hehe cool-its from personal collection...haha the pink one...mild scented but good.
and i am also using perfumes from elizabeth arden...one that is kinda strong & i just use at night and one that's also mild scented that i can use for day time...

Hi acie, well I like to put perfume on for one reason and that's because it makes me feel good. The perfume supply is low and low on the agenda of purchases too, and it won't feel right when it's all gone. Even better when there's shower gel in the same brand to go with it. Unfortunately things like that become a luxury when the budget is tight.

I personally do not like to wear perfume, smell perfume on another person, nor do I really care for the scent of cologne on a man. If I notice the scent on someone else passing by, it's probably because there's too much on that person . . . and if mixed with their own body scent like sweat, it reaks (meaning it smells pretty foul to me).
However, I do think it's important to stay clean, and when possible I like to use non-fragrant things. I love the smell of nice clean skin . . . au natural. I'd rather be noticed for other things - not for how I smell!

If I may add . . . here's another reason why I probably hate perfume.
Once when I was a kid, I played with my dog before I went to the mall with my mom. Our dog stayed outside, so he was pretty smelly. Anyway, I guess I stunk too . . . so when we passed by one of those perfume counters, my mom grabbed a sample bottle and sprayed a whole lot of it on me. Ha ha!! But I think I actually smelled worse - ha ha!! I think my nose remembers that parfum de dog scent - and I just got turned off by perfume ever since!!!

i use perfume for my own satisfaction. generally, people use it for impression. i prefer the light fragrance. in fact, i still have the same brand am using when i was in college but of course i do have other collections. good to see u again! ü

oh yes, i really dont mind at all whatever brand would that be as long as it's soothing to my nose. my brother gave me issey miyakee when i was in college and now been using same brand for more than a decade. i also use colognes and other perfumes but most of my collections were gifts by friends or relatives. lucky enough to save me the expenses. ü

Yeah, perfumes can more or less attract attentions from ple, especially when that perfume is nice and suits u ^_^ BUt there are times whereby ple are looking for the wrong reason, when one's perfume is really too strong that it becomes over-whelming.. lol =D
I do wear perfumes when i go out, but never be using too much.. hehe ^_^ alot depends on the weather as well, and thus the usage ^_^ After all, it's just to make me smell good, and nothing more ^_^

I'm using quite a number of brands now.. lol =D I have got hugo boss, ck, as well as lacoste.. haha =D
I do like gals wearing perfume, but only just a little bit.. However, i will prefer the natural scent on them, rather than perfumes, if possible.. hehe

In my opinion, perfume does not get my attention. Perfume just makes me sneeze and when someone is wearing a lot of it, it makes me think they are too lazy to shower and much scent themselves to cover the fact that they are dirty!

I still remember the time i put on a little extra perfume and was giving exams in the exam hall. I keep wondering why the person sitting beside me was wearing such a strong perfume. After he went off, I realize it was my own perfume that was giving me a headache during my exams. After that incident, i try to put on just a little.

I dont think its a matter of attention. I wear perfume every time I go out but its something which I love especially now that im working in perfumes. A good and pleasant smell is always nice. Its sort of part of wearing make up, to improve one self and feel also good at the same time.

It would be better if it's a perfume based in human pheromones... These help put you at ease and boost confidence and wellbeing. When you feel more confident more can be achieved. More to be achieved then more attention! Smell you around...

I never like using perfume untill i fell in love with my boy friend....It never sweats for me so i never ever thought of putting perfume when i go to college or some where out....Someday my lover suggested me to use a perfume so that he coule feel my presence more...then when i tested it in a shop i started liking the smell so much that i got addicted to the flavour....Whenever i am out with my lover i never fail to put perfume....because it attracts him a lot and makes him hang out with me often for a very long time...so that makes me feel good enough....so use perfume

Hello acie, for me, that's necessary as long as you're fresh and sure you could manage your bad odor the would nothing to worried about. As for men I have perfume but sometimes most often than not, I usually forgot to use it. Maybe I am confident that I would not be smelling bad...

Definitely, perfume do get someone attention. Sweet and nice perfume make a girl stand out more. Spraying too much and everyone will wonder who cause that terrible odor.
I always perfume when I go out. I don't want to have any body odor. We won't realize our own bad odor so it's better to be safe.

Perfumes tells a lot about a person's personality. Each scent can identify whether he/she is adventurous, meek, rude etc.
People may not know but some fragrances can affect how others treat them or pass an interview.
I am not an avid user of perfumes but I like it musky, wood scent but hold the floral.

Of course,it is wonderful to use some perfume for women.I like to be close with those women who put on perfumes.Some girls with perfume pass by and I will often turn my head to give them more attention.In my memory,there is always a kind of perfume which enchant me.But for men,I don't think it is a good idea to put on perfume.The smell on them make me upset.Probably,it is just my own feeling.
