I hate all the people to come on a thread like this just to say they don’t use it and hate on those who do - so unnecessary, just move on if the topic isn’t relevant!

It’s relevant to all of us who are triggered by scents. You are inconsiderate.

Not np. I'm triggered by your very existence. Let me go put on some more fragrance, I had no idea it acted like a repellant to people like you.

While I like perfume, I agree that it's dated to wear it. Very 1980s gum-chewing, mall hair, middle America, cigarette smoking-dated vibe about it.

I don’t know what fragrance my mother wears, but I appreciate it as her “signature scent”. Even when she sends my kid gifts, it is lightly on there from her hands. I’ve heard, “This smells like Grandma!” many times — even during the pandemic when we hadn’t seen her for 2 years. Surprising because it’s so subtle in real life that I don’t even notice it unless I hug her or borrow a sweater or something while visiting.

My own grandmother always wore a tiny bit of Wind Song. It always smelled so good on her, but terrible on me when I’d sneak a spritz off her dresser!

All that is to say that while I normally find perfumes extremely annoying and headache & sneeze inducing, subtle can be lovely and well done as well as meaningful to those very close to you.

Really?
I am not a perfume hater but it really surprises me that you think people lean in? I can
't imagine myself doing that even if I loved a particular scent.

Do you people honestly not care if you trigger asthma attacks in other people?

I honestly can't imagine being really into fragrance, learning that it can trigger breathing issues in other people and then just...continuing to wear it.

Ohhh. But if the owner is reading this thread, please chance the website, it is atrocious. At least put a search and brand option on the main page.

I just looked at her website, because I recall having previously searched by brand. On the left hand toolbar click "shop" then there are sub-categories for:
-brand
- fragrance family
- category

The search function is in the upper right corner, next to the shopping cart

My mom rarely wore perfume, but Fleurs de Rocaille by Caron was her signature scent. Her sparing use of it to celebrate date night with my dad sticks with me—to me it represents the scent of happiness. It is no longer produced but I have a few bottles and wear it maybe once or twice a year. It is my celebration scent and always makes me think of her.

That is the sun total of my perfume habit.

Chanel Chance is my go to but it needs to be used sparingly because it can be kind of strong.

Dolce and Gabanna light blue

Chanel #5, but it's hard to find the actual original scent anymore - they have a few different versions of "Chanel #5" now. I sniffed three or four when being helped by a gal behind the counter who really didn't have a clue, and I kept telling her that no, even though it has that name, it just wasn't the right scent. Then a gal who knew her stuff brought out the right bottle, and gently told the first gal about the different versions of it. Seems to me that if it is called "Chanel #5" it should be only the original Chanel #5 scent...sigh...

When I wear scent it’s either Vera Wang Princess (very old bottle) or Burberry

Jo Malone Peony
My all time favorite perfume was Perscriptives Calyx

Mine, too. I miss that scent so much. These days I wear Jo Malone Sea Salt and Wood Sage occasionally. Most days I wear Snif's Sweet Ash

I personally don’t believe that my fragrance triggers asthma attacks in anyone. If it does, that person has much bigger problems.

None 99% of time. 1% = Avon Haiku (green). not intense one.

If you smell like sweet warm vanilla musky sh--, it's nasty. Nobody thinks it smells clean or fresh. Smells like cookie throw up with a touch of old musty wood and you need a shower and nobody likes your presence.
