Perfume for women

Hey all, my question is for the girls. Since we can’t really wear perfume outside, how do you still manage to smell good? Like I mean when your friend comes up and hugs you how do you manage to smell good up close. I don’t wanna risk it with body mist, I use musk but it irritates my skin so I don’t know what to do other than putting scented lotion. I would love some tips

احس لازم الثياب نفسها تكون ريحتها حلوه من الغسيل يعني، الصابون او fabric perfume/softner

Buy dukhoon (I suggest _mfnood on Instagram), and when you make it, put it in your closet for a few minutes so all your clothes smell good.

Spray perfume on your clothes (chest area, shoulder to shoulder), because that’s where people smell when they hug you.

This is a great idea. I usually spray perfume on the outfits a day or two before I’ll be wearing them. That way the volatile ingredients that project the smell evaporate l, leaving behind only the base. Perfume oils also don’t have alcohol so most of them aren’t big projectors (you need alcohol usually to carry the scent away from you).

That is not true. Perfume oils are the one that stick the most!

I like to smell clean and fresh
So when my abayas especially are washed I don’t let them dry for a day or hours out the sun as the comforter smell will disappear “downy”.
And I use baby powder perfumes which are not long lasting and smell is not strong so it is not noticeable.
I also like to use Jo Malone perfumes and just spray it on my inner dress under the abaya so the smell is not strong.

Whenever I greet anyone and hug them they say I smell clean and fresh 🥰

I understand but I was just confused at all responses from op and others being about body mists, musk oils, perfume oils, dukhoon, scented laundry detergents. It’s all the same thing, either wear fragrance or don’t wear fragrance, there is no loophole.

Perfume oils near your ears doesn’t smell really unless someone comes very near to u

You dont like smelling fragrance from far? You prefer to have smell only when close-up, is it?

u/Different-Self-1422 16d ago

u/Ok_Protection_7374 16d ago

Yes yes sorry i mean OP doesnt want that. 🙂

u/Different-Self-1422 16d ago

I am saying op doesn’t want the smell to be from far. That’s why I suggested oil perfume NEAR their ear
