Perfume or natural smell?

I like to wear a bit of perfume although some people prefer not to wear anything as they like a clean, natural smell. I know a woman who has never worn a deodorant as she says she doesn't need one although I have to wear one as I know I would smell if I didn't.
I have even worn a little vanilla essence behind the ear and on the wrist as I think it smells lovely but what do you prefer? Do you wear an artificial fragrance or do you just stick to your natural body smell?

@LadyDuck My mum wore Estee Lauder Youth Dew and it was so strong it used to make me car sick

I suffer from scent sensitivity. I prefer people to not wear a scent. It gives me headaches and makes breathing difficult. There are stores I can not enter, because of the perfume counter. I'm gasping for breath, even walking near.

That must be difficult. Do you tell people who visit not to wear perfume?

@Morleyhunt That must be quite awkward for you at times. I can imagine the other person might be embarrassed when they find out what they've done to you!

@sprite1950 most of my friends are aware....it's occasionally difficult when someone in line at the checkout has bathed in perfume. I stand their alternately gasping and holding my breath.

I have to wear deodorant as I need it. I have some light body sprays that I sometimes wear.

@sprite1950 I would not feel comfortable not wearing a deodorant, particularly in summer.

@nela13 My sister likes to wear deodorants that contain natural products or she gets sore underarms.

@sprite1950 during autumn and winter I don't need deodorant and I only use natural deodorants as I am allergic to those with many chemicals.

I can not bear a strong smelling perfume. In fact even a mild smell for a prolonged time causes some sort of discomfort and headache. I just stay away from them.

Yes some people use far too much and it can make us feel unwell especially if travelling.

@arunima25 It can make me quite ill sometimes especially if it is a fragrance that I don't like.

@vandana7 Powder wouldn't be too strong as it has a light fragrance.

There is nothing called natural smell. When someone bathes the smell will be that of shampoo and soap. Our bodies have smell depending on what we eat and so on. Have you tried eating fenugreek? Your sweat will smell of fenugreek.
I wear a light perfume when I go out and use talcum powder after my bath.

People do seem to have certain body smells which are unique to them. I remember the smell of my children's dad, I loved it, but I don't remember him smelling perfumed in any way.

I wear a deodorant without fragrance. I'm allergic to fragrance unless it's mild natural ones. Anything with chemicals make me sneeze.

That must be annoying. I don't have allergies but heavy perfume will give me a headache.

I usually don't wear perfume. I do use a body mist on Sundays.

I like body mists because they are light and not too overpowering.

Yes I think some people just pile on too much as if a perfume is powerful just a dab will do.

@sprite1950 If someone asks me what I am wearing I just say Eau de Frugal, and say it like it's French.

I normally only wear deodorant unless I go out at night an then I might wear a little perfume. I quite like body sprays as they aren't quite as strong.
