Adventurous spraying stops today

With school starting back up, I’ll be commuting in the car for 2-4 hours every weekday, and most of that will be with other people’s kids and in someone else’s vehicle. Between that and weekend services, I’ll only get one day a week to wear my favorite fragrances without worry. I’m heartbroken!

Now I’m trying to figure out what’s going to be best, going entirely fragrance-free or wearing one spray of a light fragrance?

    I'd use something non-projecting, so people couldn't smell you unless they put their nose directly on your skin. Musks and some light florals can be long-lasting but have minimal projection. Citrus smells are considered light, as they don't last, but they often project very heavily. To smell even less noticeable, you can only use perfume on your skin under clothes and spray an hour or two before exiting the house, so the most noticeable top notes would be gone.

      Under the clothes is a good tip

      Good ideas! I was thinking of doing one spray of my Camilla & White tea fragrance under my clothes in the morning so that it’s barely undetectable by the time I leave to pick them up in the afternoon.

    Skin musks and some of your lightest scents under clothes a few hours before would work, I would think

    Pick your scent when you get up and apply it, if you're a morning shower person like me, apply right after and then go about getting dressed and such. By the time you leave nothing should be overwhelming... Unless you go heavy ouds or animalic scents just be courteous of those I guess.

      That’s what I ended up doing today, and thankfully it seemed to work out perfectly! One of the kids even hugged me, but didn’t say I smelled like anything, so I call that a success (:

    As a mom whose kid gets blinding migraine headaches from most perfumes, I want to say a sincere thank you.

      Of course! The kids matter most, my favorite perfumes can wait :)
