I've never really worn perfume and for all my life presenting as a male I never wore cologne or anything because I just didn't like to do it . I've been seriously thinking of starting on a daily basis to wear some perfume , I don't really know what's with me , but the sensation of needing to do it is getting quite overpowering . I was going to start doing it about 5 months ago , but backed down . I think for whatever reason this feeling is here , it's not going away so I might as well cave into it. How many out there need perfume to feel comfortable.

Everyday, usually red or black musk from the Body Shop

Everyday...without fail...intimately beckham...milder scent lasts awhile and quite inexpensive. I can always duck my head into my t-shirt when I am feeling a bit crappy and the perfume smell is enough just to make feel a little better. No one in the 6 months since I started wearing it has even commented or noticed for that matter. I just love smelling nice...it adds to my confidence and is private enough just for me.

Every day its one of the only things that makes me feel better while presenting male at work

Do fruity moisturizing lotions count? If not, then nope!

I have been wearing perfumes practically every day for about the last four years. 

Interestingly what I found when I started was people started being nicer to me,  almost immediately even presenting in complete guy mode at work people were much more friendly.  I guess it works at some subconscious level.  [emoji1]

Everyday! I find it such a pick me up, to catch the beautiful scent of my perfume through out the day. Like wise it was something I never did while presenting male, just didn't care about myself to invest in that kind of self care. I love going to the big Boots or Harvey Nicks and trying out all the new fragrances, so much fun! My current favourite is Delicious by DKNY.

Not perfume but I do use a body spray.  And yes, people have commented that something smells really good.  Nobody has been negative about it though.

I wear scented lotions, body sprays and perfumes every day. Even though I'm out at work, I still present male, but I wear "feminine" scents.

I wear it everyday.  Currently I present as male at work (but not for long) and I like to wear the perfume as part of what reminds me of who I truly am. That along with under garments and girl pants that look androgenous.

When presenting en fem always. Channel #5 is my fav.

Also always at night. Helps me fall asleep with a nice sent as I hit the pillow. ☺️

Yup!  I don't normally wear any perfume during the day, but I love the scent of perfume in my bed as I am falling asleep.

Body spray for me. I have a winter collection of body wash, lotion, as well as body spray from bath and body works. I love that place!!!

I almost never wear it. Hugs

Hmmm....That's an idea I hadn't even thought of.  Maybe I'll try it.....

I wear it pretty often, maybe 4-7 times a week depending on my mood. I always feel a little bit better with it on.

Never thought about trying it at night though, might have to give that a go.

I bought like 3 fruity scented tall perfume bottles when Bath & Body Works had this sale (along with 6 strongly scented candles, they gave me a free handbag!)

I actually don't use them as much as I should. I plan on using them for when I go to university, I'm presented as male there, but I honestly don't care if someone notices the scent.

never ever ever. It is too strong and I hate to impose my scent on others since it bothers me so much when other folks do that.

If I'm worried about smelling too girly I'll spray mainly a guys cologne (although I've never picked overly masculine scents anyway!) with say 2 a squirts of womans. At least i know it's there and that can be enough to make me feel better :)

I do. I wear fragrances.

It is not what makes me a woman. It is something I do to add some smell that differs than man's one. Not a bad one. I am probably healthier than most of people there, but male smell is male smell.

No woman in my family used any fragrance on daily basis. Afaik. I will probably quit or thin it once I get to HRT. In case that day ever comes.

It's funny you mention quitting or thinning it once you start HRT. I really didn't know what to expect from change in body odor. Now I can sweat quite a bit and not have that male odor. Most of the time I actually smell kind of sweet. I went to work without wearing any fragrance and one of the girls I work with gave me a hug. She actually told me that I smelled like a girl... which was nice to hear of course :)

I wear perfume or some sort of body spray every day, I love the vanilla lace I have from Victoria's Secret. :D

More often than not I do.  Though for me it's more just a case of wanting to smell nice rather than it being done for the sake of femininity.  My current favs ate Killer Queen from Katy Perry for during the day/at work and Olympea from Paco Rabanne for goimy out.

I forget the brand of what I use, but I smell like oranges.

I haven't...yet.  But I've just started using Secret deodorant instead of Axe.

I like it, it's a very clean and fresh scent.

This is it;

I'll check it out, I like oranges

I like body sprays and use one every time I shower. When I go out, I like Giorgio of Beverly Hills. I know it has been around a while. I was greatly saddened when they took their perfume off the market. But the body spray works nicely too.

I dont wear perfume on a daily basis, but I do wear it. I would wear perfume if I go out at night or on a special occasion. My man loves the smell of the my perfume. I wear Red Door by Elizabeth Arden.

I dont feel the need to wear perfume to work. 

I don't wear any, but people do tell me I smell nice often. I think it's the face powder I use which has a nice fragrant scent to it.
