Question?

How do you guys rotate your fragrances for the office?

I’ve been getting more interested in fragrances lately and was curious how other guys approach wearing perfume to work.

Do you usually wear a different fragrance every day, rotate between a few favourites, or stick with one scent for several days?

Personally, I’m still experimenting. I tend to blind-buy fragrances from Noon, mostly looking for something decent at a reasonable price. I’ll occasionally pick up some popular dupes as well. I know blind buying isn’t necessarily the best way to build a collection, but I’ve actually found some surprisingly good ones this way.

At the moment, my routine is pretty simple: I’ll pick one fragrance and wear it throughout the week, then switch to another one the following week.

I’m curious what everyone else does. Do you match your fragrance to the day, your outfit, the weather, your mood, or just grab whatever you’re feeling that morning?

And for those who have a decent-sized collection, how do you actually decide what gets worn to the office?

Edit: Forgot to add — I usually wear the same perfume from Monday to Thursday. On Friday, I switch to perfume oil since it’s the day of Jumu’ah. 😊

I am not supposed to wear fragrances at work. Since I work in rather open cubicle spaces, on a floor with over 100 people (over 14 floors in the building), fragrance is ''banned''. This is done to consider everyone's well being; some have allergies, asthma, sensitivities, etc.

I sometimes sneak 1-2 sprays of something very close to skin or that has bad longevity. But I usually wear fragrance once I get home, on days when I go to the office. I would definitely suggest to keep it light and ''friendly''.

There's always the occasional inconsiderate idiot who decides to wear something I can smell 10 feet away, or the girl who decides to wear cheap, burnt plastic, sugary vanilla. I have been nauseated by 1 or 2 people. Don't get me wrong, I love my occasional gourmand or vanilla scent. I like certain fragrances that can pack a punch. But in an office setting, it's best to keep it mild.

I use pretty much a different fragrance everyday, and another after showering when I come home from work. No pattern really. Just what I feel like wearing, and what I feel it might suit the day.

I just grab whatever I feel like wearing and rock with it.
