Smell you later
Do you wear perfume, cologne or scented lotions?
More women are opting to go fragrance free these days, according to a story this week in the New York Times.
The story says that while more perfumes are on the market — 1,160 different types in department stores — spending is down and a survey shows 15 percent of women don’t wear any fragrance whatsoever.
One reason given for the decline was consideration of others’ sensitivities to strong scents. We’ve all been stuck in an elevator with someone who’s over-doused. I know I can get dizzy when I walk through department store perfume counters.
But that’s not the reason I don’t wear perfume much. My nose has a short attention span. A fragrance I like today will bore me within a week. And I don’t have the budget to buy a multitude of choices. I envy those people with signature scents — as long as they apply it sparingly.
What about you? Do you wear perfume much, or do you prefer a natural — and hopefully soapy clean– scent?
