Personal grooming is a must. When we go out of the house its not enough that we took a bath, to stay fresh longer we apply different personal grooming products. I personally use both but for my usual ordinary days I use cologne and I use perfume specially on occasions. What do you use Cologne or Perfume? You can also share your brand if you like.

ive been wanting to use either cologne or perfume daily but my nasal problem stops me from using it. whenever i smell those products, count from 1-10 and you'll hear me sneezing afterwards. i dont know why my lungs are feeling irritated but thats the fact and i cant do anything about it but just stare at them. good day maria1081

yes maria1081, i do have nasal allergy. i never try seeking for medication coz i knew about this since i was young and it runs thru our blood. even powder makes me sneeze. my dad is even worst coz the moment he smells one, he will be sneezing for the next 3hours or more then, runny nose will follow that he needs to nap to stop everything and go back to normal after. we just cant do anything about it. i really envy those people who uses these products.

Hi, maria1081. I use perfume or body sprays and body splashes. I usually will wear Victoria's Secret. I love Elizabeth Arden's fragrances too. Plus Elizabeth Taylor, Patti Labelle, Paris Hilton and many other exotic and alluring scents.

hi maria, I use cologne, well actually it's a "baby cologne" and I rarely use my perfume. I like using the latter during occasion and special gatherings and cologne for my everyday use. I like Switzal's Baby Cologne and Angel's Breath. With perfume I use victoria secret and tommy girl. Happy Lotting!

Hey I haven't seen angels breath for a long time. Would you care sending me one? LOL. I gave all my victoria secret perfume to relatives when I got home, and I forgot to save for myself (sad).

Perfume/cologne - I favourite is a cologne - Elizabeth Arden
I never buy any stuff but whatever is gifted to me is on my dressing table. Of the lot I like the Elizabeth Arden cologne/perfume which I dab very gently when I have to mingle with people. If I am going somewhere where I dont need to mingle then I dont wear any perfume save a sprinkling of talcum powder after a bath.

Honestly, I used perfume and cologne especially when I go to school. I use perfume for my formal uniform and in my body, neck. Then i use cologne to my hands when I feel that i'm no longer smell good. I always put it inside my bag so it's always ready with my side. :) One good thing with perfume is the smell not easily gone, even though the time is already long for it. Not like cologne which is easily run dry, but when you got sweat the smell of it return as it run wet.

I usually use the cologne because i think for me is good rather than perfume I'm a type of person who is allergy of strong odor so cologne is mild than perfume.

I do not use any perfume.There are two things one is artificial smell is not liked by many including myself , secondly it is a health hazard. Many uses perfumes because they do not take both properly and to hide the bad smell from them, they use perfumes.Tamarind for the female is the best naturally available perfume that can keep their skin fair and it is antiseptic.Male can use some naturally available perfume while taking both that will keep them fresh.

well i use perfume , i love perfumes but my mother don't like perfumes and never allow me to use them , whenever i am going out i only use at that time else in home i am not allowed to use them as she believe those who never take a bath in the morning uses perfumes or deodrants , she will say to use a talc if you want to protect yourself from odour but no perfume and this is kind of funny for me but no matter i love perfumes and always use them.

I like Old Spice. It smells so good. It's the greatest cologne in the world. Before I go anywhere, I have to spray it all over. It's like a must have everyday day of my life.

I usually like to use cologne because it is a much lighter version of the scent. I want people to get a hint of my fragrance and not be overwhelmed by it. I guess that comes from when I was working retail in the jewelry department which was right next to the cosmetic department. When I inhaled some of the stronger scents all day, it almost made me lightheaded. My favorite colognes have been special to me for many years. I like the woodsy or more exotic smells like Channel #5, Tabu and L'air du Temps. Most of my favorites have Patchouli oils in them. I never realized that until one of my friends pointed it out to me. I stay away from the high florals because they seem to get stronger on me as the day progresses.

I do not use cologne. I prefer to use perfume instead because I am a woman. I just bought me some new perfume at Walmart the other day. I think it is called Primo. It smells really good.

maria1081, i'm a cologne addict. I only use colognes after bath or even when going out. Some few years back i tried using perfumes, but didn't acquire the habit or taste for perfumes. As for the brand, i'd like to keep it secret for now, if you don't mind. Thank you.

I prefer using both for I make choices in every outdoor activities using cologne and important occasions for perfumes. Cologne has weaker scent that if you want to put it many times, it is much cooler and the scent is not that strong. Perfumes are best used for me in several occasions where I have to stay that scent in my attire.
