Perfume

[Lucy Lou]

I have to say that I find perfume absolutely wonderful. I always wear it while dressed and personally think it is an integral part of feeling feminine. I haven't fully dressed for a while, not because I don't want to but because I can't at the moment, but today I saw an old friend and she had the most wonderful Channel perfume on and it made me feel so jealous. I am going to get some because it smelled incredible and I want to smell that on me.

I don't know if anyone else feels that about perfume but it is the final bit that takes me to my female world.

Yes perfume is the finishing touch. I have.several different kinds but the 2 I use the most is.fire and ice or my Alfred sune sling.

[laurenp245]

I absolutely agree with you Lucy! After getting all dressed up, nothing completes my outfit as much as a spritz of one of my favorite perfumes (Coach Love today). For me it's the ultimate feminine touch.

I agree perfume is totally a finishing touch, my go to is Lancome La Vie Est Belle

Also love that when people get into my vehicle they say it smells so nice, I never comment back, but grin and say what a nice day it is

My wife says I smell better than she does, whoops I just smile and say thanks but you smell better to me

Ah, Channel number 5 and 24. I do remember well that scent that drove me crazy on my women. It is truly a truly wonderful scent that drives men crazy in desire.

[Rachel Morley]

Absolutely ... last thing I do before I leave the house. My favorite (for a long time now) is Sung by Alfred Sung.

Hi Lucy Lou, White Shoulders is my favorite. ~~......

[Robin414]

Scent IS the sense most closely connected to memory ☺ I love Honey by Marc Jacobs (comes in a bottle shaped like a bumble bee..go figure)

What's that smell? I'd say it's citrus, watermelon, and a touch of OMG that is sooo femme! 😀

[lingerieLiz]

I've worn perfume in the past. One day I had on a popular perfume at work. As I walked through finance one of the women in a cubical loudly said who has White Shoulders on? I love it. Luckily I was walking out and it was not connected to me. So be careful when you wear it.

I don't wear perfume or cologne, but would love to. I'm concerned about the wonderful odors being attributed to me, should I ever go out among 'em, or even in drab when in the neighborhood. Is there a way to really get rid of the odors?

[sometimes_miss]

It's amazing how scent will bring on memories from so long ago. I went out with a woman in 1975; she wore something by Avon called 'Occur'. They hadn't made it in decades, apparently. Ebay had NOS, I bought one. Sealed as it was, probably out of heat, it smelled exactly as I remembered. Still keep that bottle for fond memories of her.

[Sandie70]

Ah, for the moment it's White Diamonds. Sometimes I even spray a bit on my pillows for beautiful dreams.

[Princess Ludwyna]

I totallt agree. Perfume is the finishing touch. And it's a journey to find one that fits our personality.

[SHY KIM]

Lucy Lou I agree 100% with you! It really is the finishing touch. Funny, because in drab I find very few scents that I enjoy or notice.
En femme however, the scent is essential.
Funny how much we change from one self to the other

Hi Lucy,

I am with you on this. Perfume is an exquisite addition to whole effect, when dressed. I frequently wear a little perfume when in drab, too. It provides a constant connection to the "woman inside", especially welcome when I have to wear male business clothes which I can hardly bear to have on.

Almost always Chanel no. 5, EDP. Expensive but lasts long, so worth it. I always carry it in the car. A subtle splash on a jumper or scarf makes it go further and makes those garments a pleasure to wear. Got to be subtle with it, though!

Love, Michelle

@LingerieLiz - yep, what you said! my SO for instance will be able to recognise any scent on anyone and a lot of her friends can too. So warning to some of you, just because many of us can't tell the difference between nice and nice doesn't mean others can't

@Sometimes_miss - wow, now that's truely priceless, thanks for sharing!

@Robin414 - Honey by Marc Jacobs is a winner for me too

Lucy Lou, I should try a spray of it in your local drug store first as it doesn't always smell the same on another person as it did when you first experienced it.

[MarciManseau]

Always be sure you're not wearing too much also, especially during the day. A very strong scent can offend some people and have an allergic reaction in others.

Also try lightly spraying your lingerie drawer, or use a pretty smelling sachet.

[paintmepink]

I use to wear coconut body butter. Use to.

[CONSUELO]

I wear it always.

[Katie Louise]

I've been wearing perfume in drab lately. No one has said anything. Right now it's Black Fluid by Lady Gaga. Black orchid with vanilla notes. Reminds me that I don't have to be masculine, because there's a girl inside.

[MichelleDevon]

Perfume? mmmmmmm....yes!

Not the final piece of the jigsaw for me - that is my hair. But perfume is definitely up there as a vital cog in the wheel of going out as Michelle. I tend not to wear perfume if I am just "at home" - not least because my wife doesn't like most of my preferred scents!

I have two that I mostly only use when I am going out as Michelle - CK Euphoria (my fave) and Armani Code ("her indoors" dislikes both!!). I have three others that I use frequently, often on a "normal" day when I am Stephen - they are Ellen Tracy, Body Shop White Musk Smoky Rose and Body Shop's coconut range.

I am fortunate in having GG work colleagues who know about Michelle and we often chat and perfumes and smell what we are each wearing - one of them regularly wears Euphoria so she always gets nice comments from me (like today), she also loves my Ellen Tracy. I do sometimes get told off because I have gone a bit over the top with the spray!!!

Sometimes I even wear a male aftershave!!! I also "borrow" my wife's Cherry Blossom from L'Occitane - it's a lovely fresh scent (have my own roll-on scent but use her shower gel and body lotion for maximum effect!)

It's lovely to know you smell nice....

ULTA has a bunch of nice scents and I always browse that section first.
One body spray I use a lot is ULTA's Water Blossom. Kind of citrus in a way but not overbearing or too flowery.
You do need to understand just because you like a fragrance on someone it doesn't mean its going to smell good on you.Everybody is different.

[arial]

Chanel Coco, Donna Karan Cashmere, or Lancome Tresor. Depends on the mood and season. Always the finishing touch...

[Beverley Sims]

What you think of a nice perfume it does not always radiate from you and others may not get the same lift from it as you do.
