Out of these perfumes which one would you choose for the office? (If any!)

Elie saab le Parfum
Chloe le Parfum
Chanel au tendre

These are the ones I have that I think aren't too overpowering? Hoping not to have to purchase new as much as I love a new perfume!

Thanks x

Nobody should be able to smell your perfume unless they brush close to you

This^^

Wear what you like, just don’t bath in it and don’t spray it/continually refresh it when you’re at the office.

Try scented shower gel or soap. You can enjoy the smell, no one else will be bothered by it.

I'm another who can get splitting headaches from people wearing strong perfume in confined spaces, stick to something light and citrussy, no top-ups during the day and it should be ok. No one should be able to smell it unless they are in arms length of you.

I absolutely hated it when Calvin Klein's Obsession was all the rage. Fly Killer. It was in EVERY lift. Ugh. Cooper's fly spray!

I am not sure which Chloe perfume? I remember one in the 80's that I lusted after. I worked in Debenhams and always helped myself to a spray or two. Eventually I bought it. And loathed it! Far too sweet. What a waste!

At the moment I am wearing Jade by Yardley (thanks to whoever recommend this!). It isn't in your face and is refreshing.

I like warm Chypres in the cooler months but I don't think I wear anything too shouty.

I remember a perfume by Revlon called Moondrops. They did another called Intimate. Both were Cat's pee and I used to avoid the Revlon counter because someone was always spraying them! Ditto Tweed by Lentheric.

Lol everyone saying stick to citrus fragrances. Citrus is guaranteed to set me off can't even cope with it in household cleaning products.

@onplan I wear Black Orchid to the office :D and more offensive ones too. I actually do not care.

onplan · 31/07/2019 19:37

Well I'd like sitting next to you @Galicali even if no one else does Wink

I loved Tommy Hillfiger Tommy Girl years ago and got some recently off Amazon for less than £20.
It’s light, citrusy and people that do smell it on me always give compliments. Cheap enough for everyday wear and doesn’t seem to offend !
