Perfume? Scents We Like

I was just asked in a survey what perfume I used? I haven't used any in years. I use body wash, lotion, deodorant and wipes. They all have scent that stays with me. I also carry a little atomizer in my purse with perfume in it that smells very nice. I use it when I am out for an appointment and feel the need. I don't recall the brand.
In the house we use candles and incense. Cami has some India-type one's downstairs and I have my hippy scents up here. I found some lovely candle scents for winter with the scent of balsam, pine and some scents I didn't know. They are from HSN and by a famous candle scent extraordinaire. I don't go in for the pumpkin spices, mint, cookies, or sweet scents. I like the musky, deep woodsy scents for the winter months. In spring and summer, I mostly just have fresh air smells throughout or a scent that is clean and smells like the ocean and clean pure scents. No fruit or sweet scents please.
What about you? What perfumes and household scents do you like best?

I don’t like “perfumes” because they make me break out (allergies). My favorite natural smell is petrichor (the freshness of the air when it first starts raining). I like “food” candles (vanilla, cookies, apple pie, etc.), but nothing “natural” like trees or flowers.

I'm just the opposite. I like natural and the woodsier the better.

We haven't bought anything with scents in years. I started having allergic reactions to perfume/cologne as well as scented detergents/soaps years ago.
I told Pretty I'd like to get some black cherry candles again to burn in my bedroom but will only buy one, just in case I have an allergic reaction to it. I don't want to waste money if I can help it.

I am so much happier without perfume. Too many other ways to enjoy scent naturally.

@celticeagle Even the deodorant I use is unscented.
I do use a grapefruit scented shower gel. I'm dreading the day when it starts causing me problems.

I don't use any. The strong scents give me a headache.

I have finally figured that my headaches in the past were probably caused from perfumes or other such products.

@celticeagle I can't wear scents anymore. In my 30s my body chemistry changed and all scents "turn" on me and smell terrible.
