They're all offensive.

How many times do you have to post negative things? Just move on.

It's 2024 -- we've learned to take others' ability to breathe into consideration.

I love perfumes personally. I enjoy being in public and getting a whiff of something very pleasant. Beats BO and exhaust fumes.

Same.

I was with various people wearing perfume and love that whiff. They wear perfume right. It’s a hint and not overpowering.

OP

Teens - 20s, yes. Then 60+. Doesn’t seem like women in their 30s-50s wear it.

My teen daughters (16 and 18) asked for perfume for Christmas --replica brand, different scents.

I wear le labo rose 31. It's rose with a spicy clove layer. truly unisex. It's definitely a personal fragrance--stays close to the skin but makes my clothing smell amazing.

My tween daughter just asked for Clinique Happy. When so many things seem to change, many stay the same. I'll probably buy her the skincare kit too.

Totally agree. Love perfume

Stop with all the juvenile ew, you stink posters. Some women love a nice scent, and many men appreciate it too. I’m a woman who doesn’t wear much makeup, never polish my nails and keep them trim, and wear simple clothes and bags available to the masses (ideally thrifted). Perfume adds beauty. I can still remember my late mom’s favorite perfumes. She was elegant and understated, and wore it just for special occasions. Event leaves an impression.

My favorites are Jo Malone English Pear & Fresia and Maison Margiela Lazy Sundays

It is, it's a major growth area in the beauty industry. It's the crotchety old moms on DCUM with their oh-so-sensitive sniffers that are out of touch.

Like a PP said, the smaller niche brands are in very high demand over department store.

+1 There's a group of DCUMers who view everything as tacky - nail polish, perfume, designer bags, Cartier love bracelets - in their search for the ultimate WASP preppy old-money aesthetic.

And these women are still wearing perfume…

Similar thread earlier this year - turns out people are still wearing it!

As in all things, there can be a balance between dousing yourself so it bothers others and a subtle perfume.

It's very trendy! Way beyond tweens/sol de Janiero. As PP said lots of new niche brands

Viktor and Rolf Flowerbomb is my go-to for date night

My 19 Year old DD likes it and asked for it for Christmas. They are all very into lotion, candles, makeup, etc

I am obsessed with Dyptique ... amazing. Try it.
