| I'm actually not poor and I never buy cheap perfume. Lol. The perfume I buy isn't even available at most stores year round. And all of my oil perfumes are custom made. If you can't afford expensive perfume, you shouldn't wear it, period. |

Somebody mentioned wearing eau de toilette...well that's a perfect example of perfume you should NEVER wear. It's the cheapest/least pure out there.
Always look for PERFUME or EAU DE PARFUM on the bottle.

ok that is definitely not true
I used to work the Lancôme counter at Sears and the eau de toilette is just a slightly watered down, lighter version of the eau de parfum - which is more concentrated.
I never ever buy eau de parfum because it's way too concentrated for my liking and takes a long time to simmer and mix with skin. I like something that immediately smells pretty and fades down to a softer scent. |

| I guess you have to have a nose for it, but it definitely smells cheap. |

| Custom made oils are so ftw. They only get better with age, too. |

| how many is too many oils though for one scent? you think 3 would be enough? |
|

| Silky Johnson |
| I think it depends on the oils and how much of each you use. Even one drop of an extra oil might make all the difference. |

the only thing is i remember one time i got some patouli(sp) oil on my skin and i got an itchy rash right where it was. same thing when i spray concentrated perfume directly on my skin, i get a rash. my mom had some chanel eu de parfum and i got a rash if i sprayed it right on my wrist so i had to spritz it on my clothes instead.
i hate having sensitive skin:mad: |

| some new guy here wears too much cologne. even open windows and a fan blowing the stench away don't help. what's even worse is that he "freshens up" after lunch. seriously :mad: |
