I know many people like useing perfume of various brand,especially for women.They want ot smell good and keep charming in this manner.Meanwhile,others maybe dislike a sharp smell at all ,thus they won't choose any perfume to wear.Then what about you? Do you use perfume frequently in daily life? And which brand is your favourite choice?
For me,I only use perfume occasionally.I enjoy the pleasant smell full of my body,sometimes it can also keep me away from mosquitoes.My favourite brand is Addict Two from Dior ,I really like its sweet smel. :)
Any information from your sharing with me will makes me happy.

No, I dont really use perfume daily. I just use it when I can remember to use it. I am not really used to wearing perfume and I am not that conscious about myself, so I dont use it that much. Smelling good is good though especially when other people looks at you because of your smell. I have lots of colognes and perfumes, so I try to remember to use them as much as I can. I love the happy clinique perfume, its my favorite.

Clinique is also my favourite brand, not for perfume but for skin care mostly.I quite appreciate its mild and light smell and texture.And I think maybe products of this brand is little chemical addition.That's why I choose it to use. :)

I don't use perfume nowadays. I only use them when there's a special occasion. But now I seldom use them. I think I smell just fine and the smell of my clothes make any perfume useless since the fabric conditioner really smells good.

You must be a charming mature woman! :P Apart from sweet smelled perfumes, sometimes I also choose mild or mature ones to wear. Maybe I behave like a girl and sometimes like a woman. Sweet styles and mature ones are my choices at different occasions probably. I am not a girl,not yet a woman! :P

I don't wear perfume every day either. I find that perfume should be used for special occasions or sparingly. I wore it for prom, for a dance I went to, for graduation, going out to dinner with my boyfriend.
My favorite is Vera Wang's Princess. I'm obsessed with it.

I don't use perfume.My husband's friend has sent him a bottle of BOSS perfume but we rarely use it.We live in the country and beside our house there is a vast stretch of field,and when we open the window the smell of the wheat or rice will full of our room,I like the nature smell much than the perfume.But also I think the business ones should use perfume for respect to others.

Yeah, I wear perfume almost every day. That is, every day unless I forget, which happens sometimes since I am really not a morning person and would forget my head if it did not stick to my shoulders!
Currently I like L Occitanes Citrus Verbena perfume, but Moschino also makes several good ones. And Dolce and gabbanas Light Blue is wonderful as well!

Haha, no, usually I don't mix them up, and I don't wear them at the same time obviously, so it doesn't get too much or too confusing!
All the smells I like are usually very light smells, I don't like smells that are too strong and heavy, it just does not fit my personality.

There is some chemical component in make up products,probably it will lead to more pressure on your skin.Too much make up using is not a good choice for healthy.Nature beauty from within is more attractive!

Well, I have been too fond of using perfume. I would never leave my house without using perfume and I always had a good stock of different perfumes as my relatives living in USA, knowing my taste for perfumes, make it a point to bring different brands for me. But lately, I have just stopped using perfumes. I just use perfumed talcum powder and no perfume. May be the hot weather has made me reluctant to use perfumes.

How lucky you have such a relative! In my country perfumes are still considered as luxuries as high extra import tax.I really want ot go shopping crazily in Hongkong or some other cities without extra tax!

I use perfume regularly as Iam into Business and have to meet many people daily .
Travelling a lot makes you sweat , so perfumes are easy way to keep your body odour good and fresh .
I prefer Mild ones over other.
My Favorite brands are Escada , Dunhill and DKNY

spraying once a day would be enough for me because if you have a nice perfume,,,it will last even the following morning

I love perfume and wear it every day. I think of it as something for myself. I like a lot of different kinds, but right now I am wearing Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker. I also like Cashmere by Donna Karan, and Chanel No. 19. For some reason, I don't like No. 5, which of course is their most famous brand. I like J'Dore, too. My favorite thing is to go to the department store and smell all the new perfumes. I try not to wear too much. Some women do it, and it's overpowering. Just a splash for me.

Yes, I know what you mean. I am not too crazy about No. 5 either, even if I am a huge Chanel fan, and always feel like I should like it. Glad to hear that I am not alone!
(I also hate it when people wear way too much perfume, it is just really hard to deal with)

If I can remember to wear perfume I spray just a bit on. I usually go for Lucky Brand's Lucky You or Lacoste. While I was pregnant with my son I couldn't stand to smell perfume or anything else really. So I couldn't wear it. I don't like wearing a lot of perfume and I really don't like smelling people that wear a lot of perfume. I believe a little goes a long way.

If there are occasions I normally use perfume with a light smell only like blue natural perfume for men. On normal days I use cologne to smell fresh especially during summer.

When I can afford it, I do buy perfume, but I don't have the money too often. So far, I have bought 2 bottles of perfume in the past two years! I first bought the original Christina Aguilera perfume then this year, I bought her Night version of the perfume. I like her fragrances as they are light and smell nice, but they don't last very long and I had to keep re-applying them. So maybe next time, I will try another brand.

I'll use perfume for going out, but if I'm just going to be home or just going to work (I work as a waitress and we're not allowed to wear perfume) I'll just use a sweet smelling soap when I shower :)
