Poll: Is Wearing Perfume at the Gym Appropriate?
The gym is all about exercise, sweat, and staying focused on your workout. However, some people wear perfume to feel fresh and confident. But how do others at the gym feel about it?
Do you think it’s okay to wear perfume while working out, or do you find it distracting in that environment? Is a subtle scent acceptable, or should the gym be a fragrance-free zone? Share your thoughts with us!

There’s also the fact that everyone’s idea of a “nice scent” is different. What might smell fresh to one person could feel too intense for another, especially in a confined space where people are breathing heavily. So, I’d vote for a fragrance-free gym as a courtesy to everyone else who’s just there to focus on fitness.
At the gym where I work out, there’s a guy who regularly wears a very strong oud fragrance, and honestly, it can be quite overwhelming and distracting. Fragrances like that are rich, complex, and best suited for other settings, as they tend to linger in the air and affect everyone nearby. In a shared space like a gym, it's important to be mindful of how our choices impact others, especially when it comes to something as personal as scent.
Please don't wear heavy stuff like Erba Pura, BR540, Angel/A*Men because while they smell good, they are distracting and annoying 😬
10 sprays and I’m killing this workout
Just please dont wear fragrances like Baccarat Rouge540, Erba Pura and its clones. Too loud, too rude.
