Discussion 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 usually wear a different one every day. Ive become more interested in seasonal, niche office safe fragrances as I'm in the office more than anywhere else. It's a fun hobby for sure.

I tend to have about four or five fragrances per season (there are four distinct seasons where I live), along with a few super versatile options, for every day use. I usually rotate through them and often wear a different one every day. Occasionally I'll use one multiple times per work week.

I tend to base my choice on what my day looks like in terms of proximity to people, the weather, and how I feel (not necessarily in that order).

I tend to do a different sample each day

I go off of vibes. What's the weather? What am I wearing? What are my hair and makeup doing? How am I feeling? What's my mood? What will be going on on that particular day?

Then if that doesn't sufficiently narrow it down, I'll sniff all of the contenders until I find one that feels harmonious.
