Do you wear fragrance/perfume and if yes, which?

I dont wear it most days. I work at a coffee shop and usually just end up smelling of coffee most days.
I love perfume, though, and like to wear it on most of my days off. I have a lot of different scents, depending on my mood (and outfit). For men's scents I like Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb and Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club, both spicy scents with strong tobacco, leather, and vanilla notes. For women's scents I have a wider variety. I love most of the Giorgio Armani Si and Gioia lines. Most of Bvlgari's tea scents are lovely, but I especially love the Au the Rouge one.

I don't wear any cologne because I find it too cloying. I much prefer to use a fancier soap and a light deodorant/antiperspirant. My wife also prefers it this way.
Alcohol based spray stuff causes me to be headachy, sometimes veering off into migraine land. I mix a couple of drops of one of the masculine or unisex bpal perfume oils into my palmful of unscented lotion that I put on after showering. Currently working through a bottle of Aperotos Eros which is pretty woody on me.
They have far too wide of a variety of great scents and they have good ethics.

Good lord, sometimes I get in the elevator with people like that and my stomach just turns. Today unfortunately was one of those days.
Diesel Only The Brave is something I would avoid because it has a very strong synthetic orange or lemon smell at first.
Poco Rabanne Invictus is the worst stuff when it comes to that synthetic smell. It smells like chewing gum mixed with cotton candy.
Nothing for me. Women dont like those either.
Acqua di Gio is killer (the good kind) on a date.
On overspraying: I don't do more than two spray presses. That's always enough and if it wears down you can refresh.

Yeah because I choose to not make myself and others miserable?
Just use some odorless antiperspirant/deordorant and get on with it. If you're gonna put on some cologne or perfume you need to stop from making the entire five mile radius about yourself and only apply a very, very small amount.
I use axe cause it's cheap and easy, and I from time to time even get complimented and people ask what cologne I use. Voted for the first option since I won't be part of OP's elitism.
Tobacco Vanille is unisex, but it smells more like honey than gingerbread.
When I was a teen my mom got me some imitation Aramis that I loved. Later I got the real stuff and didn't like it as much.
Won't lie, I did patchouli for awhile too.
Now that I'm an old curmudgeon I can't stand most of them. That shit should be a subtle surprise if you're close enough to someone and not a screaming statement. I have a few coworkers I could track from the parking garage to their cube area.
If I can still smell you in an open air garage 5-10 minutes after you've been there you have on too fucking much.
That shit is olfactory pollution.

Egyptian musk is the new patchouli

No, i shower and use deodorant.
Nothing is worse than smelling synthetic scents from 20 feet away. Id rather smell body odor, that doesn't affect my breathing.

People who know how to wear fragrances generally know how to and how to not apply it.
And I'm most certainly not going to stop my ways because of your personal issues.
Yep, every day - although I use a cheaper one when I'm just at home, and a more expensive one when I'm going out.
Day to day it's Paul Smith 2, which is fine and inoffensive. Going out, it's either Ombré Leather from Tom Ford, or Wonderwood by Comme des Garçons. I like smokey, woody, deep smells.

Fragrances have been the staple of my personal style for a very long time. I consider it an important factor if you care about your general appearance and hygiene. Other than your visual presentation, what strikes people first when they meet you is how you smell, it hits them directly and can leave a crucial impression. Quality fragrances can get a bit pricey but they last fairly long and are well worth the money. For a price of a full AAA game you can get a great smelling fragrance which will last you months. Not to mention how nice it feels when people compliment you and say that you smell wonderful.
Currently I'm wearing Versace Dylan Blue as my signature daily scent and Versace Eros for nightlife situations. Both very affordable, very summer-friendly and both are compliment galore.
I use Versace Versence for the day (the green one) and Versace Dylan Blue/The Dreamer/Eros for the night. (also daily in autumn/winter)
I just love Versace fragances in general
I like Bleu De Chanel and so does my girlfriend who is usually pretty sensitive to smells.
Most stuff isn't overbearing if you're light enough on the application. There are a ton of people who just overdo it.
Yes. I switch between L'instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDP, Lolita Lempicka au Masculin EDT & Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche EDP.

You've got good taste
jaguar pace is cheap long lasting and has the shower gel sort of smell which most ppl dont find offensive/too noticeable.
This was super recognizable ages ago but I think youre right now many ppl might have a hard time placing it apart from ppl who are into perfumes.

CdG and TF fragrances are some of the best quality and most original. I always find them hard to wear but when I get it right damn they smell good.
This is all you need right here guys. Wasting your money ok all that expensive designer stuff.
I have men and women of all ages tell me I smell amazing and ask me what I wear. They always think it's expensive. But nah, $3 can last me a couple months.
Polo Red for important work meetings.
Givenchy Play for outings.
But I very rarely wear fragrance, colognes or oils in the summer. I'd rather do baby oil with the body powder with my fragranced deodorant and fragranced lotions. My fragrance of choice right now is Graphite from Bath and Body Works - body wash and lotion. Don't need the sprayer.

My day to day summer go-to is Calvin Klein Eternity Aqua (it's my girl's fave scent) but my summer preferred scent is Versace Pour Homme. My winter go-to has been Burberry London.
But, this week for some special events, I felt like getting something new.
I didn't feel like springing for Tom Ford Tobacco Vanille or Oud Wood which I've sampled in the past so I searched for something new. After testing like 15 colognes, I settled for Bvlgari Man in Black. I'm really digging it. It's quite sweet, probably more of a fall scent than summer but I dig how sweet it is.
I also tried:
- Bleu de Chanel (didn't like it)
- Sauvage (didn't like it)
- Fucking Fabulous by Tom Ford (liked it, but not enough to justify the price tag)
- Givenchy Play Intense (pretty good)
- Clean Sueded Oud (liked it, but too subtle)
Everything else I tried was forgettable. I wanna try Versace Oud Noir but not sure where to sample it from and I don't wanna blind buy it.

Issey Miyake for summer, D&G light blue for spring, chanel allure homme sport for fall / winter or dior sauvage
I've wanted to try Creed but nothing is really available in my area and it's too pricey to justify buying. I've never heard of Parfums Vintage. Are they worthwhile?
Givenchy Play Intense and Boss Bottled Intense are my faves, more of a fan of woody smells than sweet or musky smells
Used to wear the fuck out of cologne, but eventually fell out of it. Anyone I come across using perfume/cologne more often than not is using too much of it—shit stinks.
