Yes - hypnotic poison Dior- have worn this for over 10 years

I have currently 25 fragrances in my collection, thats after using up a hand up and selling some i dont wear.
I love perfume, it's the only accessory I can't leave the house without and the only thing i really spend a bit of money on lol.
I have about 3 or 4 that I can't live without, and a few more that I like but won't replace, then the rest are blind online purchases.
I find im one of those people that wears a certain scent to match my mood, outfit, type of event im going to etc...

I adore my perfumes, always having about 4-5 to choose from. At the moment I have Anais Anais Elizabeth Arden, Beyonce, Jovan Musk and one other that escapes me at the moment, oh I just remembered it is called Tea Rose. I prefer the subtle floral tones for the day time and a more exotic perfume for an evening.
lonestar
yes! I like them because they smell nice, when you are around but forget most of the time. Hence have to place visible to my eyes. I am using same fragrance over 5 years now. I will never buy 100ml again... unless I dont intend to spend money on it and have the original ideal having one in wardrobe.

I prefer wearing subtle perfume from either Victoria's Secret or The Body Shop and I myself do get headaches from strong scents so I definitely understand where you are coming from. I would recommend perfumes from the above brands I mentioned as they are mild and last the whole day.

Yes but not everyday, it’s a mood thing

I wear perfume with soft notes rather than the strong one.

I love to wear purfume. I have always been a smoker so now i have given up it's nice to smell nice all the time
Thanh Tu31415933
Totally agreed. I think the light and sweet perfume would be nice.
Farhiyo31416388
Most certainly, I think wearing perfume gives you a boost of confidence ( at least for me it does) it’s nice to know your clean and smell nice. I’d also definitely expect the same from others !
Andrea31416172
I used to be obsessed with collecting perfumes....I love the sweet scented ones....I agree, some perfumes that I smell when someone walks by make me feel sick.
Diana31399329
It depends on the scent I don't like to wear perfume if it's too overpowering. I usually only get the urge to wear perfume if I'm going out on a nice event.
Holly_M
I wear perfume sometimes, but typically I use a scented lotion instead as I found the scent to be more subtle and is also good for the skin!
JenM
I wear perfume pin social occasions but try not to drown myself in it as my choice. .charlie red..can be overpowering for people
Sophia31249918
Well, some people have a strong odour that comes from their body, so wearing perfume covers it up. If it is too strong use a softer scent or maybe you are spraying too much

I love to wear a soft sweet perfume, not to heavy just right.

I love any Dior perfumes cas they still remain there even by night time when i do wear them , on the other hand l did travel 100 mile to a 21st one afternoon with Poison on me locked in air con and l did manage to cop a head ache as its far too strong to travel that far with l discovered , i also love Paris , l love floral perfumes at any time .

I prefer the mild one. Too strong of a scent is really a turn off.
Vinoomika
I guess it depends on the perfume, and how much of it you wear. I absolutely love perfume. I tend to layer up too (not sure if this is good or bad, but I like it). My shower gel, lotion, roll-on deodorant, deodorant (spray) and the perfume(s) I choose to wear for the day are all scented, and I like it because I love smelling fresh and clean throughout the day - but I only do that for me, I like it - and women's perfumes are generally quite subtle, and I don't wear too much of it, so unless you were giving me a hug, or are directly beside/behind me, you wouldn't be able to smell my perfume.
I know that there are a few women's perfumes that are strong too - my mum's friend gave her an old lady perfume called Charlie (even though my mum is not an old lady yet!), and that made me sneeze and gave me a headache. Haha - but mercifully, there's not too many perfumes that do that. I think Dior is also famous for having some strong perfumes.
For the most part, we have a choice as to which ones we choose, and Elizabeth Arden, Beyonce and Rihanna have been some brands I wear often because they are amazing. Sophisticated, yet sweet and subtle scents.
Samantha 31399461
Hypnotic poison by Dior is always will be my number 1 fragrance.
But yes, it's certainly a powerhouse scent lol. Spray lightly with most of the poison line thought, they're all pretty heavy

In my opinion, different people prefer different perfume. You just have to test before you buy.
If you do not like the strong smell, try to apply less or try milder perfume.

Hi,
at first i was so much like you, hate perfumes.
but now i found the right perfume for me which is marc jacobs daisy.
so, maybe you just need to find the right one :)

Yessss, Ralph Lauren light perfume is the best because it's so light, probably won't cause you that bad of a headache! (:

Everyone like perfumes because the scent of perfume is pleasant. My favourite perfume is Beckham Signature. Strong perfumes suits with women i think it attracts men.

I have read with curiosity that certain perfumes give users a “headache”. Forgive me for my lack of understanding or empathy but how is this possible? I have smelled many perfumes over the years, both nice and horrible but I have never got a “headache” from male or female fragrances. So what happens, you spray it on and a while later you get a “headache?” Just like that!
In my opinion if one is prone to headaches then perhaps wearing expensive perfume is simply not for you.

I find strong perfume some people wear either gives me a headache or is so strong it makes me feel like I am going to be sick.

Yes I work in the direct sales industry and so around so many fragrances and I too get a lot of headaches with some especially when we are in our team meetings too many fragrances all at once.

Perfume is a tool of allurement!! Personally I love when other people poor a bottle of pleasant smelling perfume over themselves but I do agree that it can cause a headache, especially when the perfume smells worse than body odor!

I agree some perfumes are so overpowering that I get headaches to.

I'm not a big fans of wearing perfume, but when i do i always use a mild one. It does makes me feel fresher.
I don't like strong perfume as well, strong perfume gives me a bad headaches too!

I do wear perfume, my favourite is DKNY green be delicious or JPG classique, as a younger woman I love to know that I smell beautiful and attractive and it is just apart of my daily routine, however, recently I've been trying to look into perfumes that contain either no alcohol or have low alcohol amounts AND of course no animal testing.
Anonymous
I like perfume also, although I don't wear it daily just special occasions. I wonder how do you find out if it is tested on animals? I wouldn't want that.
debbib
I don't like perfume especially on men!
Anonymous
i think that if they wear a subtle amount, enough so you can only smell it when you hug them or are within a close proximity, its fine. However if you can smell them and their stench overpowers the entire room, its too much.
ang7
perfumes also contain a lot of chemicals, you shouldn't use them at all
Nita
I love wearing perfumes but certain scents give me migraines....Opium for example will bring on a migraine and yet I love Juicy Couture Juice Couture and that's a fairly strong smelling perfume but it has no affect on me.
Fame by Lady Ga Ga is amazing - you can smell the honey that is in it and it just smells creamy, smooth, sweet, warm, a beautiful fragrance - and I am NOT into celeb perfumes but this is a stunner!

Perfume is great. I'm one of those who - as soon as I can't smell my perfume, it means I need to put on more!
Moi
If you are getting headaches from wearing perfume then I would suspect it is only due to the particular one which you have chosen. I therefore feel if you love to wear perfume then you should keep on trying different samples!
Personally i have found that the perfumes with certain ingredients such as the Passionfruit based ones also give me a very bad headache!!
I absolutely love wearing perfume everyday and often get compliments. It is for me part of my 'getting dressed' routine!
It is a Revlon perfume, however if I go for other flower based ones in the same Brand I find that they make me feel quite sick!
I absolutely feel that it is a matter of trial and error!! When you find one which suits and doesn't make you ILL THEN I SUGGEST YOU MAKE THIS,YOUR SIGNATURE PERFUME!
Perfume has three notes!! - the first is the first whiff that one gets!! Second is when it has had time to settle and thirdly is how itmreactsmwith your own particular skin type!
Some of us have very acidic skin type, others are more alkaline! I am very acidic to the point where I can't wear real gold as it turns black within the day!
Be aware of this when trying something and also remember never never rub it into your wrist etc. as perfume is made up of invisible bubbles and if you rub it in you are basically bursting these tiny little bubbles which give off the wonderful odour!
Keep trying! You just need to find out if you are a fruity, floral or spice type. Then find out what type of skin you have!
If a perfume smells wonderful on a friend then don't,assume it will smell good on you as it may actually smell revolting as it reacts to your particular skin!
This is the secret of tring to find your SIGNATURE PERFUME (one which will not give you a headache and believe me there is one out there just for you!!
Use the cards and spray three and put them in your car bedroom and somewhere else where you can smell it and see what happens after you have experienced them all after a,few hours!! Some you will know immediately!!
Also remember EXPENSIVE DOESN'T MEAN GREAT!! - good luck - NANETTE ������������

I'm the same, if a perfume is too strong or sweet, a nice simple smell is the best i think
Kellie1101
I do love wearing perfume, but I do have close family and friends who suffer from people wearing the perfume. I must admit, I do not like cheap and nasty perfume, but even the most expensive perfume is not nice as well. A shuttle sweet our fume is best. Nothing like smelling nice, not strong !

I love wearing perfume I have 20 bottles of it! I have a different range of perfume my favourite though is Jimmy Choo Flash.
Nellyy
Some perfumes are too heavy and sometimes send me off into a coughing fit. I do like Mitsouko by Geurlain but as it is quite expensive I save it for special occasions. I dislike those stinky cheap body sprays like Impulse.

I like mens perfumes more than womans perfumes
jatz50
I am the same...Strong perfume smells give me really bad headaches also. Usually, I go to a perfume place and get them to spray it on a card and then I walk away with that and wait to see if it agrees with me.
There are two perfumes that have never given me headaches and that is Innoxa Gingham and Cacheral Amor Amor (was in a red bottle)...hard to get now but I can buy online (phew). My chemist gives out samples and I spray on my wrist and at first.....it's okay and then 10 mins later, I am rubbing it off.
I cannot walk through Myers or DJs where they have all their perfumes......total headaches
Sil sil
The trick is finding the right perfume for you & your body. I like perfume but too found some gave me a headache, I have a small collection that work for me, smell nice & I get compliments. Never spray too much either!
ebtisammy

yes, it makes me feel like a woman; my life is bad enough as it is; and I do it to make me feel good.

There are many different fragrances out there. Every woman should have a fragrance wardrobe with a signature scent. If you have ever heard of LeReve, they have brilliant, quality designer parfums with layering products to match. If you don't like a strong scent, just a fragrant body moisturiser will probably suit you best...... You have to try them. I cannot say a bad word about them. I LOVE perfume. (the good quality stuff anyway)

yes i do i love it when you treat yourself to a nice perfume it just makes me feel good about myself i love smelling nice and clean

I am definatly a perfurm wearer. I love what perfurm can say about you or the activity your going to do. I find myself wearing clean type smelling perfurm before i go to the gym so that i am feeling fresh and ready to exercise. If i am going out on the town i find myself wearing something sweet and girly. i believe the type of perfurm you wear says a little about the person you are. :)

I wear perfumes everyday-or as many days I can. I have quite a collection of perfumes. But I am fussy with what perfume I get, I only really like fruity or spring reminding ones, I hate musky smells!

Hi,
I'm a part of a Handmade Beauty course. We made parfum (a fancy french word for oil perfume) last week. I've been wearing it everyday for a fresh feel. If you have a sensitive nose, perhaps try make your own perfume, that way you have heaps of control over how strong it is. And this way you can spread your perfume to your friends and make sure they wear it too, parfum domination!

I agree! Today I received a Issey Miyake perfume, and don't get me wrong it's beautiful! But I suffer from migraines and I have had a headache all day after putting it on. You Know what they say though... Beauty is pain so I think I'm just going to suck it up! :)

Nothing worse than a strong perfume which takes over a room, but yes I do use a fresh smelling perfume

Unfortunately I have expensive tastes - Chanel, Nina Ricci but they're worth it because they are not overwhelming, unlike men's after shave/scent - they all seem to have an overpowering, high alcohol content

I am inclined to agree with you because some people have perfume allergy. We have to think of people surrounding you more. However, perfume can give us a good mood. Hence, I like to wear strong perfume at home.

You should try Rhianna's Nude perfume. It is very subtle and you cant smell it on yourself but people comment how nice it is. It smells a bit like vanilla but is very mild it just smells like you have used a nice body wash or soap.

Robert Cavalli perfume is the best. not strong and too over powering just a great smell

Some perfumes smell great in the bottle but when they come in contact with your skin can give off a completely different scent to what you think is in the bottle. I think it is best to buy from outlets that have testers so that you can try before you buy

I used to use a lot more perfume than I do now. I have a lot of perfumes at home but find I only like using one small spray so that it is not overpowering. I like Coco Chanel, Chanel No.5 (La Premiere) and Givenchy L'Interdit (discontinued but I found a bottle it was the perfume my mum used to wear when I was young and brings back nice memories).
I have so many others but lately I am drawn to the more natural oils (floral) fragrances - jasmine in particular.
I also like using the Karma soap from Lush. Not only does it smell great on the skin but makes the whole bathroom smell nice after showering.

I know that this may sound rather silly, however, see if you can carry around with you some coffee beans perhaps in a small zip lock bag. you see the coffee aroma from the beans over ride the smell of strong perfume. I really does work as I suffer from the same problem. try it out. youll find it works.

It could be the alcohol in the perfume that's given you headaches. Have you tried solid perfumes instead?

There are quite a large number ogf people who will react to perfumes especially strong smellings. It can vary from headaches to respiratory symptoms such as Asthma or hay fever. I have noticed the radiology building there are large sings in the building requesting that the public have to notify the receptionist if they have perfume on because of two employees who have severe reactions to perfumes

I often walk past people in the supermarket or on the street and can smell their purfume from a mile away! I prefer to wear spray deodorants, I like the fruity smells, as they aren't very strong, yet they still last the day and they don't give me a headache!

Yes flyingace, I do enjoy wearing perfume, but just one spray into the air, then walk through it.
That ensures that the application is subtle.
I also HATE perfume on others that is too strong. It's not the 'flavour' (although we all have our favorites) it's the strength (of any flavour) where too much, is offensive.
People often remark that they like my perfume, (even when I can't smell it any more), whatever the flavor, as I only use a couple of good quality, - heavier ones in Winter, and lighter sweeter ones in Summer.
I really believe it is the subtle application that is important.
Cheap perfumes always smell sickly, too much when first applied, then disappear, and never seem to echieve a subtlty!!
Kate
for special ocassions perfume is nice but i usually forget to wear it day to day. i agree that sometimes strong perfume can be very off putting and distracting on others.

I was born without a sense of smell so I can get a little worried about whether I may smell bad or not. So yes, I wear perfume...only I don't know how strong or chemically it smells!!

I wear perfume but am really self-conscious about the way other people feel about them haha, I'm always asking people if they think it's okay. I think it mainly comes down to how you feel about the perfume (as long as you don't put too much on!)

I am the same, my head cant candle most perfume's but I have found 1 that smells beautiful without sending me into a coughing fit! Sex in the City Exotic. Smells devine! Also another thing I try to use instead of perfume is body oils. A personal favourite is Body Shop Vanilla body oil.

I agree with cat17 on the health issue of perfumes.. I used to wear perfumes few years ago but do not any longer. there is little or no regulations to what can go and actually goes into perfumes, a single perfume bottle can contain up to 2000 ingredients, many of which are questionable health wise. have you noticed that many perfume brands do not have ingredient lists?

I luv luv perfume!! and hav a huge range.. But only luv n buy the real thing (fairly expensive n branded) n hate cheap one's, knock of brands & impulse spray types.. 4 the following reasons!!!
- they smell cheap n go of fast
- not lasting long
- & impulse type sprays, once u sweat, it go's stale fast n smells nasty
** You'll find true brands n more expensive one's last most of the day (even wen u cant smell it on urself anymore) n with holds going of n stale even wen u sweat!!
** I do encourage u 2 try more scents - even the one's u dnt fancy at first.. because although real perfume smells similar on everyone who wears it!! it actually changes & smells different on everyone once you've sprayed it & its settled into your skin n own natural body scent.. takes bout 20mins to calm n you should notice it doesnt smell anywhere as stronge as it first did..
** and just because you cant smell it on urself as much later on? doesnt mean its worn of (its a good thing!!) means its settled n blended into ur natural body scent.. - just ask someone near you.. bet they can smell it n its great..
** cheap perfume doesnt settle n smells stronge till it go's stale.. But i guess u get wot u pay 4 hahh.. (just lik levi jeans that last 4 years compared to your cheap $20 kmart type jean) that fade's, zip breaks, button pops off or they fall apart within there first 20 wears hahaha..

I luv luv perfume!! and hav a huge range.. But only luv n buy the real thing (fairly expensive n branded) n hate cheap one's, knock of brands & impulse spray types.. 4 the following reasons!!!
- they smell cheap n go of fast
- not lasting long
- & impulse type sprays, once u sweat, it go's stale fast n smells nasty
** You'll find true brands n more expensive one's last most of the day (even wen u cant smell it on urself anymore) n with holds going of n stale even wen u sweat!!
** I do encourage u 2 try more scents - even the one's u dnt fancy at first.. because although real perfume smells similar on everyone who wears it!! it actually changes & smells different on everyone once you've sprayed it & its settled into your skin n own natural body scent.. takes bout 20mins to calm n you should notice it doesnt smell anywhere as stronge as it first did..
** and just because you cant smell it on urself as much later on? doesnt mean its worn of (its a good thing!!) means its settled n blended into ur natural body scent.. - just ask someone near you.. bet they can smell it n its great..

Perfume reacts to the persons acid in the body giving a different scent compared to another person wearing the same scent. There are many light scents out there for you to choose. David Jones and Myers let people try their perfumes before selling them. That way you will know what you like and dislike. I can't stand it when people use body spray under their armpits. Pooooo!!!!! They stink!

I can get headaches from perfumes too - but i wear them regularly = like a spicey, not sweet fragrance

I endured my mum's strong perfume when growing up and started wearing perfume frequently as an adult. However,, after getting pregnant, I got a real aversion to perfumes and now after 9 years, I only wear perfumes occasionally and very little.

I know what you mean. There are some perfumes that make me have an asthmatic reaction and headache. The oriental notes also ylang ylang oil sets me off too.

Perfume is not my thing either. I am sensitive to the smell of things and when someone is wearing perfume, I can smell them coming ... lol. My eyes water, my sinuses go beserk and the headaches start. Ugh.
dee-ducky
I too can't stand most perfumes and get headaches if they're too strong. I prefer soft sweet scented perfumes, fruity or floral flavored. It's just a matter of finding the right ones. My favourite is White Diamond but only in very small doses and for special occasions. I wish other people wouldn't douse themselves in their perfumes as being in crowded public places can be hell sometimes.

I like to wear both spray and solid perfume. I have heard about a new 'Perfume Pill' that is currently still in developement. Your meant to swallow it (as you would with any other pill) and then the scent comes out of your pores. Personally I think it saounds a bit creepy.

I like perfume oils rather than sprays, a little goes a long way, and I find they are not as overpowering, for myself or others around me.

hi you
CAT17
Too many chemicals are being used in perfume manufacture these days. Pure essence is just too exapensive so chemicals are being used. I never wear perfume and find that other people's perfume is just awful. Walking through DJs or Myer with all that smelly stuff whofting through the air is overpowering. Those cheap shops that sell so called "well known brands" perfume at very low prices are really ripping off the public. That stuff is not perfume. Try not to use any artifical chemicals on your body - you will find your health will be better.

I love wearing perfume but there are some people who must be lathering it on!
A single spray is plenty and the scent is very important - sneezing shouldn't be induced by anyone's perfume. Personally I love some men's cologne but it's always a much more subtle scent.

I agree Pip, I love wearing perfume but I don't like to over do it. A simple spray on my chest and apply to one of my wrists and dab the other wrist on top is enough. If you spray too much it can be a massive over kill. However with mens cologne I can never get enough that.
tiarango
i agree with a single spray is plenty! i get irritated when my husband goes out he just spray way too many from head to toe.!

hi I don't wear perfume due to it being allergic to the chemicals contained in the so only wear oil based scents. People who wear strong perfumes also give me headaches.

For yourself get a very soft perfume to wear, there is not much you can do about other peoples choice. I am a migraine and find the floral one get up my nose.

I wear perfume ever day. I love having inspiring and calming scents around me. I mainly use pure essential oils as my perfumes though. At the moment I'm changing between Evodia Coconut & Lime body spray (yummo), Urban Rituelle Coconut & Kukui, Urban Rituelles Cotton Candy, Patchouli pure essential oil. Then with brand name perfumes I'm wearing Marc Jacobs Oh Lola!, Lolita Lempicka (the purple bottle).
I also get bad headaches with some perfumes, if they're too strong and it makes me feel so sick! I recentlt won a massive bottle of the new Versace Versus perfume, I was so excited but when I sprayed it, within minutes my head was pounding and I felt like I was going to throw up. My daughter loves it though, so she wears it.

Strong perfume is offputting especially on public transport but then again I rather have that than peoples body odour which is sickening. The only tip I can give you is to smell vanilla essence sprinkled on a hanky or tissue which combats strong odours. I would rather do that than have a migrane headache.

I love smelling great and thats what perfume does for me.

hi shelby,I agree with you and I always like others ask me the name of my perfume but they don't :(

Yes, that's true. Sometimes when the smell or odor is just too strong, it does give you the headache and worst still, it can give you that poisoning chemical effect to your sense of mood.
flyingace
Thanks for replying yes perfume's are very strong and I can still smell the odour in carparks thats how strong the perfume's are.

Hi flyingace. I love wearing perfumes but I prefer ones that are mild and smells fresh. I have a collection of perfumes. I also don't like strong perfumes that make me sneeze. There are some perfumes, especially that of men, that really make me want to throw up. I hate the scent of musk in perfumes.
flyingace
thanks for replying to my topic

Same with me.

I have read with curiosity that certain perfumes give users a “headache”. Forgive me for my lack of understanding or empathy but how is this possible? I have smelled many perfumes over the years, both nice and horrible but I have never got a “headache” from male or female fragrances. So what happens, you spray it on and a while later you get a “headache?” Just like that!
In my opinion if one is prone to headaches then perhaps wearing expensive perfume is simply not for you.

Hi Aimee ,
You would not believe this, my husband buys women's Obsession as he says its stronger than the men's one , he wears the ladies one a lot .
swartz
yeah especially the cheap ones...

I JUST cant get over red door perfume..however ever since the packaging is changed it doesnt smell the same...the old one used to have a different shape bottle and was more yellow and stronger in colour..i miss the old one...
tedimitr
Hi aimee, to save time why don't you just buy a more sweeter smelling perfume? I do, and I use them to the last drop, they aren't strong at all. Or, perhaps go to a perfume store and ask them about perfumes that suit what youre after? Just a suggestion :)

Musk perfumes are particularly strong, especially when you're inside and there is strong heating. I also prefer mild perfumes like Daisy by Marc Jacobs. It's a really light smell especially the EDT and I get a lot of positive comments about it from both men and women.

yeeahr, i agree with yhu eimee, my brother has this perfume and its soo disgustinq, its suppose to be natural but its soo gross.

I agree, you need a range of perfumes that suit your skin temperature and your personal feellings at different times, this affects the reaction of the perfume. so different perfumes for different moods and places. A good perfume shouldn't overpower everyone, just enhance you.
flyingace
Thanks for replying to my topic and If any one in my family buys me any perfumes I am up throwing out.
