wearing perfume in public

[Tiana]

just wondered how often you wear perfume when dressed in male mode. i often wear perfume and have never had any reaction, though i'm sure some comments have been made behind my back, but i love smelling feminine.

[Ruth]

Interesting thought. I wouldn't wear a feminine perfume when in drab because it seems to me like giving out a mixed message. When en femme I usually wear perfume, but then it is consistent with who I am at that point.

I have two types of perfume that I wear whenever I wear a fragrance. Exclamation! and Realm for women. I don't care for male fragrances because they are too heavy.

[Kerrylee61]

It doesn't matter which mode I'm presenting as I always wear perfume. Eternity is pretty much my signature perfume although if I'm feeling extra frisky I'll mix it with a touch of Obsession :eek:

Kerry

[DonnaT]

Quite often.

I've only had positive comments.

[Sarah89]

Do it all the time for work, Dont have any real expensive designer fragrances though, I usually just nip into a store and put on whatever they have as a tester :D
Cant stand male fragrances, - at least most of them, they all just seem the same tbh.

I use a nice musk daily. I often wear something intense while I am dressed. I have about four or five scents all which let me wear how I feel.

I wear perfume or body sprays everyday. CK For Women or Tommy Girl are my favorites.

[Starr]

I have never worn perfume unless I was at least in a dressed down fem mode..

[Gisele]

I'm usualy wearing fem jeans and top when in drab mode when I am off work. So I do spray on my "Happy to be". I love that perfume! :daydreaming:

Mixed messeges? Just curiuos

I have a couple times but also forgot to remove it a few times. And then there was the time I was sharing perfume preferences with my sisters-in-law and they asked if I wanted to try one they had just picked up. It was nice and lite and yes I left it on for work the next day. No repercussions.

[ChloeB]

Me too, though I don't wear it for work

[cindyscute]

Nine out of 10 times I wear perfume. It smells so much nicer.

[karynspanties]

I usually just shower with Bath & Body products. Enchanted Orchid or Wild Honey Suckle. The wife buys them and thats what's in the shower. Gives off a nice mild scent. Unless I use the matching body spray, which I do when enfemme.

I generally wear perfume anytime I dress! I am very careful however and just put on what I think is a minimum amount. My old GG GF taught me how to do it. Just three quick pumps of the perfume into the air. Then walk through the spray.

I did however have an experience once. I was at my neighborhood pharmacy (CVS) in girly mode. While waiting at the cash register a lady and her daughter were in front of me. (Sexy middle aged upperclass chick and her cute offspring to set the stage a bit!) The mom made a wise-crack about perfume and they both turned around like they were going to embarass me.

It was one of the days where I was feeling confident and super frisky...hey we all have those days! Anyway I just smiled and winked at the mom. I saw the look of shock on both of their faces as they looked up at the tall confident tranny!!! Was priceless I got a kick out of shutting them down with their catty behavior.

But it reinforced the notion to be super careful and not wear too much perfume. Sometimes I now will just spray the perfume once in the air. I do think perfume is like makeup...guys smell different and we need to coverup any remaining male musky smells...well ok probably a wild theory but I think its true. :devil:

I wear a VS fragrance everyday, but it is under my clothes (if it makes sense), people will have to be in a long embrace with me before they can detect it.

[Rachel Morley]

I wear perfume all the time in boy mode (except at work) :) No one mentions anything.

[Ellen47]

:)I always wear CK1 works fem or drab. Never a negative comment.

[leia]

I wear diffrent V/S sent's all the time, in less I have a date then I wear "poison" . But then I have my nails done with 1/2 " extensions and frenched in black,red or white all the time too. I also wear girl's jeans or shorts and have a real girly anlke and wrist braclet on at all times. oh and I am a fishing guide so I am around some macho men. but they never say any thing to me. now if I just had long hair.

[MAJESTYK]

I wear it all the time, even to work. Sure there are comments behind me or when I'm not around but, I dont care.

[Stormgirl]

I just went down to purchase some liquor and I had Candies perfume on, nobody said a word about the perfume and I applied enough to wear you can smell it a metre away. They probably assumed a gf hugged me or something. I was in drab(sigh) too.

I hate being a party pooper, or sounding like a crank, but the perfumes you are talking about are the types that cause serious health problems - not only potentially for the wearer, but for some of those who inhale some of the toxic chemicals in them. The effects on some people are immediate and intense.

The National Institutes of Health has even issued a warning about some perfumes that they induce asthma in children and may even cause fetal damage. This is not just for the wearer - the symptoms are induced in people that come near the wearer.

I know people who are unable to go into crowded places, such as performances and public transportation, because of the risk of encountering people with perfumes. These are conditions diagnosed by mainstream doctors, and clinically verified by measurements of the accumulation of these chemicals in body tissue.

Here is the division of the NIH that is concerned with this:

and another organization:

I got a better one I work for an independent Cosmetic Company and there isn't a day at work leaving I don't smelling great, guess you could call it an employment bonus (and yes I get free samples).
