Yes, I do most regularly. Don't care what the missus thinks as her room is in the other wing, er ... down the hall; OK, next door. More often it is from my Amouage samples such as, Lyric Man and Gold and sometimes Silver.

  • rum
  • offline
  • Gender:
I normally shower in the evenings before going to bed. I like to spray something on very lightly once I'm out of the shower, so I suppose my answer is yes.

Yes, just a dab on each arm after shower. GIT or Jardin de Amalfi, nice to smell falling asleep...hah.

I like to sleep in a little vintage Chantilly. It is very comforting.

I DRENCH myself, and my bed, in perfume every single night before going to bed: My two favourite bed scents, which I only where when sleeping alone, are:

Habanita
Bal a Versailles (vintage only)

The only scent I like to wear while having sex is:

Givenchy Gentleman Deodorant.

I LOVE using perfume--extracts mostly--as sex toys but apply them *only* to my partner and I must perform the application process.

Sometimes, for no special reason.

Sometimes. Always if I shower before going to bed. I usually like a nice relaxing scent, something with lavender, to wear to bed, but sometimes I want a more complex perfume. Really like Rue Royale or another one of my orientals for this. Sometimes I just spritz the air or the sheets with a fragrance. Jean Nate is good for this, the lemony smell is refreshing and clean. Sometimes I just reapply what I wore during the day.

I must remember this ! I have loved Givenchy Gentleman from the beginning, but never knew or asked about the DEO.
Generally I have no
rules. I might think of perfume if the partner would appreciate that.
For myself: no perfume can replace, a partner in the bedroom.
Fresh air and new linen are more important to me than fragrances.

Absolutely

I normally surf Basenotes in bed - and you simply can't do that if you smell of nothing.

Also, I agree with a previous poster, perfume is a sensual drug - so surely your bed is the very best place to wear it as you drift off to sleep, or engage in some other activity? Plus, it's a legal mood enhancer: if I want to feel virginal (for want of a better word) I'll spray something clean and fresh like Eau de Guerlain, nostalgic: Balenciaga Le Dix, wealthy: Chanel's Cuir de Russie or raunchy: Kouros, although it does tend to hang around until the following day. I did however make the mistake of leaving Secretions Magnifiques on my wrist the other night - by 3am I was in the kitchen scrubbing it off...

Sure. Before going to bed I like something comforting, a gourmand. I wear A*men and Serge Lutens Ambre Sultan.

Also, my mother use to put a drop of essential oil on her pillow. Apparently lavender essential oil is good for that.

Eau Duelle or Safran Troublant, then I curl up around my wrist and snooze...
