When I wanted to live in, tied my way. When I wanted to praise, saying it is superstition. When I told my love is a lie. I wanted to cry, they are lies. When I laugh, they are crazy. World to keep, I want to get off

Julito, I think stereotypes are strong in your country.. Personnaly I don’t wear perfume because I don’t like the odor of men’s perfume, it give me headache. However, sometimes I like when girls wear perfume, the odor is sweeter.

The perfume has a really powerful effect if it’s a good one. Sometimes a person enters a room and you want to ask, ” What perfume are you wearing?”. And all the time a person is in a room, you keep on thinking about that fragrant perfume and want definitely to have it too. But some of the perfumes stink; I think it’s because of their expiary date is on or too much of the fragrance has been put on. Plus, for some people, alergic to parfumes, they have a hidden adversary effect by having a number of allergens…

Candycandice. i agree with you that perfumes must be subtle not strong and enhance the personality of the woman that is wearing it.  France is famous for  its perfumes  and i believe  that it was created by the french  as a healthy and necessary substitute  to the daily  bath  that were lacking in them. in my country, utilities (gas, power ,water ) are cheap , in Europe and the US  they are expensive  and the winter  soooo cold , people might refrain from taking a  daily bath , so they could  resort to the use of perfumes  to let others people know that they are clean” .  are they?

I’m so surprised that when thinking about perfume,I never had one,I never buy a perfume for myself,and also nobody give it for me as a present.Anyway,I agree with amy,a couple sprays of perfume for a date makes people more special,but if it’s too overpowering,i can’t stand it.I’m curious why foreigners like wear too much cloogne.Maybe it’s just a culture?
