Fragrances you don't wear in public

[Sol invictus]

Do you have any scents that you choose not to wear in public for whatever reason? Perhaps they are too animalic, feminine, or dated and you think other people wouldn't like them.

[docluv45]

No.

[Larimar]

Yes, some Carons, L'Heure Bleue or some vintage extraits. They just don't feel right at the moment on me (when going out with them), which says nothing about how much I may enjoy them. L'Heure Bleue e.g. has become more and more a contemplative ME fragrance.

[Darjeeling]

I'm having trouble picturing situations where I'd think, Dark Aoud would be perfect today, but I will take it public sooner or later.

Not used to the raunch of Leather Oud, but I've already worn it in public and damn if the honey and other notes in the drydown didn't combine with the smells of baking bread and pastries in my local bakery to transmorph into something stunningly yummy.

[Dailey]

I like to wear some of the old, comforting scents that remind me of being a kid, when I am at home. Blue Stratos, Jovan Musk, Brut for example.

[Ken_Russell]

Some of the stronger powerhouses, some scents with leather and musk notes, too overpowering scents in general.

[Norstrøm]

Nope

NEVER!
My strongest and strangest scent is FLEUR DU MALE and i use in rotation wherever i go, anytime of the year
You must feel confident yourself and use what you want

[noirdrakkar]

M7...

[Teach13]

Sort of...Back to Black is REALLY powerful on me. Projects like a beast. I'm not opposed to wearing it out in public, I just haven't had the guts to do it yet. My wife really likes it, so if/when I put it on, I usually do it at night when we're staying in.

[cannotavoidtrite]

MKK, unless I am in a different country.

[SirNosebleed]

Guerlain Apres L'Ondee

[sjg3839]

Can't say I have any. The scent of any frags I own is to be shared with everyone else (even though everyone else may not agree with them).....Smile

[Igorbg]

SL Fumerie Turque

[hednic]

No.

[reinhard5490]

there's some. like M7 or Ambre Sultan, I would prefer enjoy it all by myself rather than go out and do something (and not enjoy this gem up into the fullest)

[del]

I can think of two at the moment:

The Third Man / Number 3 / Le 3me Homme by Caron

and

Animale Animale for Men by Animal Parfums.


Both are too strong for my taste, and I feel that one spray of each is more than enough to cover half a block.

Some have said that Salvador Dali PH shouldn't be worn out, but I've done it. So no, I have nothing I won't wear out.

[gandhajala]

No.
Inevitably some will like my scent, others not. Most probably don't even notice.

[CologneFan85]

Nope

[tonghpafu]

Nopers

[JON RODGERS]

None. Im perfectly comfortable with all my fragrances, otherwise the initial purchase would have been pointless.

[LEBRON JAMES]

Sex Panther. 60% of the time.... it works everytime.

[cadenz]

Lapidus, Kouros and Givenchy Gentleman......I'm still trying to work up the nerve. GG might be the only one that makes it out to the supermarket.

[perfaddict]

None. Im perfectly comfortable with all my fragrances, otherwise the initial purchase would have been pointless.

My thoughts exactly.

[Merely]

Some of my By Killian samples. I like them, but they are just a bit too much for me.

[LiteEmUpGood]

none!

[southerngardens]

None! I wear all my masculine and feminine fragrances out without hesitation. I heard someone earlier mention L'Heure Bleue; I wear it out regularly. I am myself and I wear what I like!

[Ryan1411]

I can feel a little uncomfortable with daring scents, scents that are a bit feminine, etc. But usually I'll say screw it and wear it anyway.

[dougczar]

I have not yet leaft the house wearing any of these from my collection:

M7
Bond No. 9 HSLE
Tom Ford Black Orchid
DHI
by Kilian Amber Oud

[martinijo]

Not really, though I think twice before leaving the house wearing Le male.

[Granola]

I wear everything in public with some consideration when I am flying, which I do every week, or when I am in church. I just limit the number of sprays and/or just spray on my chest for projection beasts such as Black Aoud, Mancera Sand aoud, black afgano or funky arabian oils.

[taint it sweet]

Leather Oud is something I don't wear a lot in public... It's something that I only reach for on occasion.

[MFfan310]

If it's in my collection, I wear it in public.

[drseid]

If it's in my collection, I wear it in public.

This.

[MFfan310]

Double post

[ChuckW]

This.

Double this.

[frug]

CK One. I still consider it one of the most adorable scents ever created, but... well, you know. I wear it for kicking around the house when I'm in the mood.

[Renaissance_Man]

None. I wear everything in my collection in public. Some reserved for special occasions, etc. but yes, all worn in public.

Wise and considerate

[Diogenes65]

No, but I won't wear some in close confined spaces with a lot of people. I get tired of the murmurings I hear in Church or a meeting if I have Montale Cuir d'Arabie on...

[Zgb]

JPG Le Male - exclusively teenagers wear it where I'm from.

[Rüssel]

^^ was going to say Le Male also. Teenagers and middle aged men on the prowl render it a bit too common.

Cool Water would be another one but I'm not wearing/owning it anymore as it fell out of favour.

[farang]

I wear tropical flowers such as jasmine and tuberose at home in the evenings in my tropical garden

[treeman5823]

Truth be told, I don't wear many fragrances out of the house. I wear them so I may enjoy them.

[L'Homme Blanc Individuel]

Samples! I don't usually wear them in public until I've had a chance to get to know how they wear on my skin.

No, but I won't wear some in close confined spaces with a lot of people

I agree. I definitely take that sort of thing into consideration when I choose what to wear.

[Incontinent]

There's nothing that I would strictly not wear in public, but there are a few that I think twice about. Cuir de Russie, definitely. Heavy stuff, rich, with a thick leather that borders on refined and animalistic. Portrait of a Lady is a bit safer, but I still give it some thought. Black Aoud, which I sold soon after buying it just because I wasn't sure I could wear it too often.

[Shanester66]

I wear anything, anytime, anyplace...no rules.

[Bigtruck260]

Yep. Quorum - I only wear when I want to be antisocial.

Habit Rouge and Tom Ford Noir are disliked by a lot of
people I socialize with, so I am safer around them. I save
them for special occasions.

The VoIce of Reason by Lush might also be worn strategically.

[Scentologist]

Nope

[phi]

Chinatown

[rubegon]

I have few fragrances that I consider suitable for all occasions. Some I like to wear when I'm at home, some only to work, some when socializing. Many are suitable for more than one setting, but - yes - there are some that I don't wear outside the house much or at all.

It's like clothes - I don't wear a suit to the park and I don't wear pajamas to work. Some frags are grey suits and some are flannel PJs.

Perfect analogy.

[mtheory8]

I think things I don't wear out to public are not because they are too daring or but rather, I have much better alternatives to those scents.

For example. I don't think I'd be wearing Claiborne Sport or Burberry Weekend out to public because I would reach for CK one, Azzaro Chrome, or Issey Miyake for fresh scents.

[Tony T]

blue sugar and joop for obvious reasons.

[Mick_Trick]

Anything anytime.

Went out with a good few swipes of Ensar Oud Assam Organic the other day, farmyard to the max, and enjoyed every whiff...

[Pappy]

I actually don't wear about half of my collection in public due to:me out growing the scent, it being too feminine, not lasting long on me and various reasons.

[Emospence]

What is the point of having a fragrance if you don't wear it out..?
