Do you stick to only one perfume scent?

I use one perfume scent at a time. As long as I like the scent of it, I would not change it. I remember using one scent for one and a half years.
How about you? Do you always change your perfume scent? Or do you like having your perfume scent as part of your identity?

Before my allergies worsened I used two different scents of perfume but first one then the other started breaking me out and then it got to the point they would make me sneeze so I had to quit using it all together. My Avon lady was heartbroken 'cause I had to quit wearing the makeup too.

I usually stick to one at a time too. I usually get a bottle at Christmas from someone - it's almost always something I had put on my Christmas wish list. So, I like the scent - I'm partial to Chanel #5 (my ultimate favorite), Bijan, Eternity, and Lauren. I've been on Chanel #5 this year!

In my younger years, I used to have 3 or 4 favorite scents and I would wear a different one from day to day. Now, I'm kind of lazy about it. I keep one perfume or Scent Spray out on the vanity and I use that until I use it up. Then, I start a new bottle of a different fragrance. That seems silly but that's the way I do it.

I'd be curious to know what the one fragrance is that we like.

My girlfriend would ask me to give her perfume (or bags) as a gift for our monthsary. And in turn she will buy me a perfume too. It looks less expensive that way because the thing I bought is really a gift and not really for myself. It made me a little less guilty spending money.
Have a nice day!

I don't wear perfume at all. I just never really got into it. I don't really like anything expensive, while my mother is the opposite. So I would say that the perfume of my very own is the smell of my body. I think I wore a lot of perfume last Valentine's day, though, to see if anyone would notice. They didn't.

I don't stick to only one perfume but I do have my favorites which I often buy. On top of my list is GAP dream followed by Lacoste pink. I do try out some other perfumes depending on my mood and my budget. lol. But more often than not I use colognes during the day because it's refreshing rather than perfumes. I love the different scents of Victoria Secret. I am now using the pure seduction scent.

Yes! Because perfumes tend to smell strong if you often spray them in a day. Women loves to spray all the time not because we're getting stinky or anything, it's just is! And spraying too much perfume could irritate somebody else's sense of smell. So we stick to the colognes for a lighter smell yet very refreshing! Take care! God bless you!

Before, I wonder why my girlfriend have a perfume and also a cologne. I would say: "It's for the same purpose right?"
But she said no. The cologne is for, as you have said, refreshing during the day. And the perfume she only uses once or twice a day.
Have a nice day!

I probably have about 50 different perfumes :) I like to switch it up from time to time and some are some that I got as a gift that smell bad, but I keep them to make people happy ha ha.

I don't wear perfume. I know a lot of people call a man's cologne perfume even though most of America calls it in two different ways, Cologne being for men like I said above, and Perfume being for women. I only say this as I myself don't wear the woman's perfume. I have had perfumes before, but most of the time would not bother... No, instead I use my fiance axe cologne, as I love the scent, even before I met him! I only started wearing it after I met him though, and he doesn't seem to mind that I wear it. It's Phoenix, and the most alluring scent to me!

Sorry for the wrong response.
In my understanding, colognes are those with lighter scents and the scents last shorter. On the other hand, perfumes are those that last longer throughout the day and even for days and definitely they would cost higher.
It would be fine if my girlfriend would use my scent. But she likes being girly.
Have a nice day!

I am more like you, I'll stick to that perfume until I get tired of it or I see another perfume that is much more pleasant and think it was more lovely to use. Usually, I used my perfume for about half a year, if for instance, I don't have yet discovered another fragrance that I'll like, I'll just buy and use that perfume again.

Same here. I use only one perfume for a long period of time. People even remember my scent because of that. Hehe. I remember once that I used one perfume for 1-2 years since my girl really loved it. I think it became a part of my identity that time because even my colleagues know my scent.

I like a few perfumes. There is one I wear only during the day time. I have a couple of different ones I wear if I'm going out. What I wear depends on where I'm going. I used to stay with one but now I like a variety :0)

[i]Hi richiem,
I explore different brands as long as I like it! LOL! SO, you will expect me to have different smell from time to time! LOL!
But, when I really like it, i will always try to save it so that it will not used it up fast! LOL![/i]

My girlfriend likes trying new scents and new brands. That is why, when she found a new scent that she likes, she is thinking of how she can get rid of her old one. It's either she would use it profusely or she would give it to others.
Have a nice day!

hello richiem ;-) no i don't stick to only one pefume scent. i change and experiment scents from time to time. sometimes it depends on my mood or the occasion or sometimes depends on what is the perfume available. most of my pefumes are gifts and i love each one of them. generally i want perfumes that smell sweet and hate those that are too strong. anyway, i am not the type of girl who feels incomplete without a scent or spray perfume or cologne from time to time

I don't like very many perfumes. There is one I like and I pretty much stick to that one. If I happen to find one that I like though I would buy it. But for the longest time I have only been using the one. I have to be careful because a lot of perfumes give me a headache. The one I wear is subtle and does not give me a headache, but like I said if I came across something I really like, I would buy it and use and, and alternate.

I am a guy so I don't really wear perfume. I don't even think my wife wears it very often. I think on special occasions. I only see one bottle of perfume with all her cosmetic stuff, so I am assuming she only uses the one.
