I may be "Kasual Karen" but I don't go out of the house without earrings or a little dab of Clinique's HAPPY Body Cream. It makes me feel more feminine....& I've never had anything but nice compliments.

I think "less is more" and I agree about dousing in any fragrance. A little is just perfect.

A shower or bath a day is a good thing, too! :)

Wow !!! This thread has really gone viral !!!

It was so successful that every fragrance introduced after that also had the most fragrance oil you can put in a perfume or cologne. Almost all of them were way tooo heavy, that's why I said in a previous post that after working on that brand for many years, I couldn't stand the smell of it. But I don't think anyone today wears it anymore, its not the top seller it used to be.

ugh. my mother wore it and I preferred the smell of bleach on her hands...

Axe men's body spray: What happens when a woman wears it for a week?

Enjoy this excerpt and click the link if you'd like to read the whole article.

I found myself trapped in the shower with only a bottle of three-in-one Axe ™ product (shampoo, body-wash, and conditioner). So I broke down and used it.
Sunshine. Harps. It was the most sublimely powerful fragrance experience of my adult life. Truly. After decades of smelling like a flower or a fruit, for the first time ever, I smelled like teen boy spirit. I smelled the way an adolescent male smells when he feels that everything good in the universe is about to be delivered to him, possibly by girls in angel wings. I had never smelled this entitled in my life. I loved it. I wanted more.

going sideways about scents...at the movies tonight Captain America was in an elevator full of thick-necked virile types. I'd have liked just a whiff of that masculine presence in a close space, but they haven't got the olfactory piece of cinema ready yet...

I am so glad we are all here to argue about it.

That means we are alive and kickin'.

Nothin' else really matters.

Hugs

and I'm trying to keep your birthday alive!

I used to hate when people in department stores sprayed scent on you as you walked by. I don't think they do that any more, thank goodness.

KeepingItReal.

I always thought you were a guy. Are you a girl? I couldn't send this by PM.

NOT that it matters. You are one smart person either way.

Funny stuff, but true. I seldom wear any perfume, but if I do, then I use a very small amount that is only detected by being extremely close to another person.

I find that wearing too much perfume, a sign that someone needs to shower more often. EWWWWW!!!!!!! Kind of relates to some people going on American Idol and sing terribly. Didn't they make a tape of their voice before they embarrassed themselves. Do they hear what we hear? I find it ironic in that one knows immediately if they overdone the cologne, and because it smells good to them, doesn't mean they shouldn't be considerate of those who are allergic to perfume. Some companies, (for people who work, don't allow perfume to be worn).

There's that four letter word again. :D
