Wedding day fragrance as a guest

Smellinkel | Perfume Recommendations

... Attending a wedding today and not sure what to wear. This is My collection . It’s 82 degrees F (27C) in Florida. I have 3 in mind but I just still hard to choose. That’s the problem with having a large collection lol. Here’s my top 4 at the moment: 1. Nawab of oud intensivo 2. Montabaco Aruba 3. Hacivat 4. Prada L’homme intense what do you think? Name others you think would be appropriate. Thanks!

Anybody here from FL?

... I live in Florida. It feels like summer most of the year here. I just want to know what my fellow Floridians are wearing throughout the year. What are your choices for fall? If you’re close we could swap samples or whatever. I don’t have many friends into fragrances like I am so it would be cool to meet some new frag heads. Male or female. I just like talking and smelling new fragrances.

What fragrance do you all wear to work?

Smellinkel | Perfumes & Brands

... Montourage I'm so blessed and thankful I now work from home in Primary Care so I can wear whatever I like. When I did have to come into the office there was an unofficial rule that no scents were allowed as there were an army of Karens ready to complain if anyone violated these "rules". Heck they even complained that the air freshener in the bathroom was scented. They would rather smell 💩 apparently, lol. So again very thankful I'm working from home wearing fifteen sprays of Red Tobacco. 😉 Lmao 15 sprays of red tobacco is hilarious. But I just don’t get how people could hate fragrances so much they would rather smell a dirty bathroom. Good for you working from home. Try 15 sprays of oud satin mood next, works wonders 😉

... Aquarius1 I wear whatever is in my collection to work, but do take the amount of sprays into account depending on the sillage of a fragrance. I won't bathe myself in "Oajan | Parfums de Marly" or "Red Tobacco | Mancera", to name a few. Getting a whiff of it is fine but choking everyone out is a no-no, whether it is in a professional setting or leisure. In general, I don't follow the whole "wear "L'Homme | Prada" or "Grey Vetiver (Eau de Parfum) | Tom Ford" , they are perfect office scents". Wear whatever you want, but be mindful of not being the person that always reeks of Cologne. As for fragrances I wore this week, I've been wearing "Althaïr | Parfums de Marly" and "Myslf | Yves Saint Laurent". No specific occasion for these, I just felt like wearing them. Same. I actually try not to wear those “perfect office” fragrances to work. But man let me tell you, I sprayed red tobacco on my socks just to test out the dry down (I had no intentions of wearing those socks). I accidentally wore the same ones to work a couple days later and I was getting this whiff and had no idea where it was coming from. Turned out to be the socks. Nobody said anything but man it smelled amazing

... kittea I work in a popular chain coffee shop (still trying to find something better, fingers crossed) and the rule there is 'no fragrances' but in practice... I mean, it's a coffee shop, not a hospital, people are coming in and out all day with their own personal odors. Still, it's cramped in the back and I don't want to gas out my coworkers, so I wear perfume oils that have a very low sillage or I spray underneath my clothes (and I am a light sprayer to begin with) and avoid any of my heavier retro fragrances. There is no "Joy (Eau de Parfum) | Jean Patou" allowed. That sucks you can’t wear fragrances to work. But at least you found a way to work around that rule. Are retro fragrances your thing? And. I hope you find something better! Good luck!

... Stardust23 I wear nearly all of my collection and samples to work except for ones that I can’t see committing to a full bottle for. For example, even after several samplings of "Overture Man | Amouage" I can’t commit to a full bottle because although it has substance…it actually stinks like someone’s unwashed crotch to me. Not trying to smell like that anywhere, including work. Haha not sure if I’ve smelled the overture man but I will soon. But same I wear most of my fragrances except for the heavy winter fragrances.

... WimGeuens We have a small "clique" of male colleagues who all fell into the fragrance rabbit hole. Due to all having different tastes and bottles we bring some to work every day and decide "on the spot" which one to wear. Since working in retail there is not really a rule what we can or can't wear (although we try to stay away from extreme potent oud scents when we have to work with customers directly), and all of us have received multiple compliments over the years (weekly even) and certain customers even look forward to visiting our store to see " what do those friendly and kind guys smell like today". Today was a "Bois Impérial (Eau de Parfum) | Essential Parfums" and "Ganymede (Eau de Parfum) | Marc-Antoine Barrois" - day, something which wasn't planned but was quite hilarious to catch whiffs of both of them and try to figure out who's fragrance we were smelling everywhere. 😅 Is there a strict "rule" as to not wear any fragrances in the O.R. or when interacting with patients ? Always wanted to switch careers and nursing seemed interesting but it would be a shame to not to spray my hard-earned cash away. Thats awesome. Having a couple guys that are also into the hobby makes it more fun. I only have 1 friend that’s into fragrances so good for you. But those are 2 very good fragrances. Ganymede is top 5 in my collection for me. Bois imperial gets me non stop complements. But to answer your question about fragrances in the OR, as long as it’s not super strong and fresh for the most part nobody complains. I’m in surgery so patients are usually sleeping. But I have gotten compliments from people walking around the hospital. Idc if there was a rule, I’ll always wear a fragrance. I feel naked if I don’t

... I work in the hospital, in the O.R. And I know, “you shouldn’t wear fragrances in the hospital”. Not many people follow that rule in real life, including me. Now, I am considerate of others when I pick my fragrance for work and I get a compliment every now and then. Today was prada carbon, yesterday was greenley So I’m just curious what are you all wearing to your jobs?

... JSO60 Almost anything from my collection that suits my mood. I work in what would be described as a professional office setting (corporate casual dress). Today it is "Endymion Concentré | Penhaligon's". Yesterday I was sampling "Northern Cardinal / Cardinal | Zoologist". Earlier in the week it was "Patchouli Intense / Patchouli Homme (Eau de Parfum) | Nicolaï / Parfums de Nicolaï". Nice. I’ve never heard of any of those but all seem interesting. Definitely going to try and check out the penhaligon for sure. Thanks!
