What fragrance have you worn the most in May?
I have been fragrance-free this past month as I have wanted the puppies I’m fostering to really smell me and associate my scent as their “mom.”

I wore Ellis Brooklyn Myth a lot. It’s such an easy grab that won’t offend.
Miss Dior Blooming Bouquet…..but I think I like my original Marc Jacobs Daisy better, so I’ll be switching back lol.
Whatever my “Completely Clean” antiperspirant is? Oh, or the “light, fresh scent” of my hand soap. 😅
I do occasionally spritz myself with, oddly enough, Touchland’s aloe vera-scented hand sanitizer (from before they changed the branding slightly; I don’t know if their current “Aloe You” is the same). Turns out I’m not a huge fan of the mist format for cleaning my hands—but it actually has a nice aroma, and it dissipates quickly enough that my fragrance-averse husband doesn’t ask me why I smell weird. In fact, I’m almost out, and kind of want to find an actual eau de toilette that smells similar…
I’ve been fragrance-obsessed for the past month! Guerlain Jicky is my going-out-at-night scent. For work, I’ve stuck to Chanel Coco Noir. On weekends in the daytime, I’ve been switching between my three Guerlain Aqua Allegoria fragrances: Mandarine Basilic, Herba Fresca, and Flora Salvaggia.
Bond No. 9’s Scent of Peace Natural is my staple May perfume. I got it last year on May 2nd and can’t imagine wearing anything else as the trees come out (I live pretty far north, so we don’t get beautiful green leaves until around May!)
Elizabeth Arden White Tea. It’s perfect for the warmer weather and it’s light and fresh, so also perfect for working in close proximity to students because there’s nothing about it that’s overpowering or potentially offensive.
I’ve been wearing a lot Clean Reserve Rain, more of the nostalgia; it reminds me a lot of highschool and my mom because it smells a lot like an old Avon fragrance (might be Pure Blanca, but I might be also remembering wrong).
NEST NY Indigo and Elizabeth and James Nirvana Black.
Rachel – your hair looks AMAZING! It so suits you.
Thank you! I love how it turned out.
I’ve been alternating between GA My Way and Gucci Bloom edt. They both scream spring to me.
DKNY Be Delicious almost every single day! I’ve worn J’Adore Dior a couple times too.
On the relatively rare occasion that I pop on some fragrance, this past month it has mostly been Maison Margiela Beach Walk.
Nancy T, I love Beach Walk! I have a small bottle I got last fall that I have been using sparingly to save it for this summer! Lol
Le Labo Rose 31
I’ve been rotating my perfumes this month – from Clinique’s Aronmatics, to EL’s Beautiful, White Linen and D & G’s The One.
I just popped in to say omg that’s so sweet about not wearing anything around the pups!
Dior Bois d’Argent and Cuir Cannage
I almost never wear fragrances, but I will say this: Probably my boyfriend’s deodorant! I was out of mine and couldn’t find the right one any time I was at the store, so I smelled very manly for most of May. 😂🤦♀️
I’ve been trying to use up my oldest perfumes, May was Gucci Flora. I made a nice dent, didn’t completely finish it but made good progress. Time to rotate something else in for June though, I have some old BPAL Imps on deck.
Fragrance? I can barely breathe with the month long pollen tsunami going on.
Dyptique Phylosikos!
I feel in love with my sample vial of Henry Rose Windows Down this month, so I just ordered a travel spray. It’s fresh, but comforting…. I’m not sure how to describe it but it’s unlike anything else I have and just makes me happy.
Tom Ford Cherry Smoke. I surprised myself with this one. I think Lost Cherry is medicinal (and a little played out tbh), but Cherry Smoke has been doing it for me.
I’ve worn mostly Clean, skin fragrance. I love the light smell.
I have been wearing D&G light blue for way too long. I know its played out AH but something with how it melds with my phermones…my husband loves it so of course ima keep wearing it. It just screams spring to me too. But I also have MM Beach Walk & I’ve been trying out My Way.
