Ever wear women’s cologne, perfume, etc. in ‘public’ while drab? Would anyone notice? Other than ‘Old Spice’ and the like, is there even a ‘line’ between fragrances anymore other than what the marketing says?
Excellent question! All I own are women’s fragrances. I try to choose ones that are a bit on the subtle side. As you mention, the line between what is considered a male fragrance and a female fragrance has blurred over the years. Most people don’t, or won’t notice. I have had women in the past ask me what scent I was wearing because they really liked it. A former employee used to buy me Victoria’s Secret fragrances for my birthday and Christmas. She knew about my crossdressing and was very supportive and encouraging.
Hi Megan, first vote " sometimes", your question to " if there is a line?" I would say no. Seems to me there are extremes at both spectrum's. For instance, my body wash is Japaneses cherry blossom from bath & body works and moisturizer is the same. Daily. if out in the mall or restaurant's I will add a light scented perfume. Some women comment, but my wife is usually with me. Kathi
I do not wear scents often, but when I do I prefer something very subtle. IMHO, a scent is something you barely notice, more of a thought of a scent that l3qves you wondering and wanting more. If a preson, man or woman, walks by and you smell them, they are wearing too much.
I use women's perfumes all the time, drab or not. Like emily, my collection of perfumes are all marketed towards girls.
No one has said anything though, so i am not sure if I they do smell it but don't say anything or they don't smell it at all.
I use women's slightly-scented deodorant and I always wear either Poison (a knock-off though) or Good Girl (the genuine stuff) when in drab or otherwise. No one has ever said anything and if they did, I'd just tell them what brand it was and move on.
I use all women's products when I dress including perfume, its all part of the joy for me
When dressing women's fragrance is another item to add to the "package". Being all dolled up, it's a must like any other item we seem to obsess over here. I use a rather pricey Italian fragrance, called Rocco Barocco. Love it! For the most part, I do NOT have it on when in drab, unless it's left over from dressing, then I just let it be.

I used to use CK1 as well when I went to work each day. But it’s seems like everyone is allergic to everything these days so I wouldn’t bother now. I have thought about adding it in to the Grace scenarios though. Estée Lauder Pleasures would be a good addition as it makes me crazy😜(old girl friend used to wear it)
I've only gone as far as wearing women’s deodorant while in drab. Even then, there have been times when I've backed out and sprayed men's deodorant on top of it.
I am an intersex trans woman, no such thing as 'drab', I haven't a single stitch of male oriented clothing! So I use feminine soaps, body wash, shampoo, deodorant and perfume every day. I do have several friends who are allergic to scents and when I know I will be seeing them, do not wear any scent.
I am a hard working man during the week but a Soft being when I'm not making a living in construction. I wear Secret deodorant Secretly quite often...Works well, love the smell. Never been called out on it. Thanks for the topic though.
