I've worn Escada (Margaretha Ley brand) several times, and every day for a month once. No one said a thing, and I know it is easily detected.

I even had some in some atomizer's I made, and spritzed it on while showing them off.

I've even tried several other perfumes, still no one said a thing.

I hate all the male colognes, and don't wear them though.

All I have is perfumes , no male colognes for years. I did get some comments from one coworker,( don't work there anymore but he is so much like Homer Simpson that I could of cared less. That's the only comment that has been made to my face.....Kristen

I've worn a very fine English lavander, and also some other scents that could be femme scents, but happen to be men's. I love them. I like to dress comfortably, in unisex clothes with possibly just a hint of girly...and the scents are wonderful!

I wear either perfume or body scents on a daily basis, I don't go heavy (I never liked that anyway) I have had my female co-worker ask me what scent I was wearing, but never in a bad way. I really don't see a lot of difference between some female scent and some of the "male" cologne's that are available.

It's funny I came across this thread as I was just thinking about doing just this about a week ago. I have this very large bottle of Chanel 5. Sometimes I find it impossible not to just sit in the bathroomwith the cap off and try to get high off the fumes.........haha.

I never have worn any womens cologne to work. I thought of the same cover up story, some male lie about getting laid last night...that would definitely work.

Yes, I often wear Charlie (Revlon). Love the scent.

I have a bottle in the drawer of my desk at work. Usually spritz some on my wrist at the start of the day. No one has ever said anything to me.

Usually still have a faint scent when I get home at night.

Love ya all!

I have worn female perfumes and deodorants for most of my life, even when I was in the military.
The best time for me was when I washooked into a "multi level marketing" scheme (pyramid scheme fits there), we sold perfume, ripped off fragrances, I had about 50 in my sample case and got to wear most of them, great for sales and I always smelled so wonderful.

My wife doesn't comment on any scents I wear, but then she knows about the dressing and doesn't acknowledge that either.

I went out shopping Thursday morning, en femme. I had to work that evening, and I only had a short time to get changed and out of my makeup, etc. I had spritzed on some Curve Crush before I went out, and I could still smell it on myself all through the shift. I don't know if anyone noticed.

This is something that is going away in my area. There are many places where we can't wear scents anymore, including the TG support group center. Chemically sensitive people may or may not be more numerous in the Bay area, but they have political clout. I wouldn't be surprised if corporate policies around here discourage or even prohibit wearing any kind of scent.

So no, I have not worn any, although sometimes I get nostalgic about that.

Hi, Anita -

I will admit to being one of those "chemically sensitive" people, thanks to allergies which segued into asthma. The problem with most perfumes and colognes isn't their aroma so much, as it is so many people (all genders) have the tendency to wear it so heavily it's as if they marinated in it!!

The best way to apply perfume/cologne is to spray it into the air in front of you, wait a second or two and then walk into the spray; it's more evenly distributed and lasts longer.

A little bit of perfume or cologne goes a long way . . . just because the wearer can no longer smell it does not mean the aroma has disappeared!!

Hi SilverLady--
Chemical sensitivity can be hard to live with, and I hope you have ways of minimizing it. One of my friends has been a legal secretary all her life; she's now finding that her sensitivity makes it harder to work in office environments. It's not just the perfume, either--it's the toner for the printer, the clorox in the restroom, and on and on.

Anyway--as teenage boys, we used to drench ourselves in Jade East, English Leather, and whatever else was around. (I seem to remember British Sterling, too, but no one I knew wore that.) Old Spice was my Dad's choice. I don't remember what my mother liked; that's odd, since I was fascinated by all the things she did in the way of doing makeup.

My sense of smell is not what is was; too many years of being around chemicals in the floor trade, I suppose. But I don't notice perfume on anyone around me in stores or concerts. I was surprised the other day when a girl walked by, and I did smell perfume. It's kind of a novelty, in my day-to-day travels.

I say the same thing to them as I do non smokers who turn up their nose when I light up outside. If you don't like it step away and go somewhere else. What would happen if I was offended at lets say the color purple, could I get a bunch of purple haters together and make laws against wearing purple??

No offense to those who are allergic to certain scents, but understand that is your issue to deal with not my responsiblity to coddle to. I am allergic to cars that boom so loud that their trunks rattle, but think it would be unfair to impose a law against something just because I don't like it.

I do every day. There again I also wear eyeliner, mascara, eye shadow and nail polish every day to work too. In fact the girls in reception know when I have slept through my alarm because I am not wearing any makeup. But hey I work for the government as a programmer and my boss, her boss (the director of my section) and a select group of people know me as Cathii too. So I guess its no big deal.
