I was hoping that all you gals out there, would put
a list of your favorites and why.Should be fun!
Unfortunately I can’t wear perfume, my wife is very observant and hates when I do anything considered feminine. I tried using nail strengthener because my fingernails kept breaking/chipping/splitting. She noticed the shine and complained. I now use hair, skin, and nail pills; no shine with them, lol. I’ve recently started using hyaluronic acid serum on my forehead wrinkles. Samething she noticed and asked why my forehead was shiny. I told her I had just washed my face with “sea breeze” cleanser. She somewhat accepted my explanation.
I did use her Avon Imari perfume one night when she was gone for a weekend. I liked it; just wished I could do it more.
I like floral scents a lot, except those that have a big rose component. They tend to be really light and often don’t last. Mostly found as eau de toilette or eau de parfum, rather than as parfum. I really like Coach Floral, which I think is an eau de parfum. I love the aroma, I find it lasts quite a while, but isn’t overpowering. Really, by the end of the day, I can get just a little whiff if I sniff my wrist.
I’ve been wearing it most days and even when I’m wearing standard men’s clothes and to work (back when that was a thing.)
There were a couple other florals I liked too, just not as much. I think there was a Marc Jacobs Daisy variant that I liked, one of the Flowerbombs and a Gucci. Wish I could remember which ones.
I love Cool Water for Women! Many years ago a former coworker was wearing it and I just had to ask what it was! I of course said that I had wanted to get it for my wife! (My wife prefers more musk smelling perfumes for herself)
And just this past Christmas, my wife got me a cool water set with perfume, shower gel and body lotion!!!
Here is some more forum talk….

Wish I could wear scent, but it sets off my allergies. Red, runny eyes and a nose that’s running even faster is hardly a pleasant look.
The closest I can get is with a mildly scented “woman’s” deodorant/anti-perspirant.
That said, I really liked a scent a friend wore many years ago in college – I think it was called Bien Etre – I’ve probably mangled that spelling immensely. It wasn’t too heavy and had a floral/fruity kind of scent.
This probably isn’t in the same category as the others mentioned, But my current obsession is Japanese Cherry Blossom from Bath and body Works. Can’t get enough of their body wash, shower gel, body butter, lotion body mist and perfume.
I have hand soap, travel size of everything mentioned above. And now I see they have Japanese Cherry Blossom scented hand sanitizer. Not to mention candles and plug-ins.
When will the madness stop!🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️

I absolutely love Versaci Crystal
When I first started dressing, I frequently would use a little “Tabu by Dana,” which is kind of dime-store ($15 per ounce) variety used by teenyboppers. I graduated to a “Shalimar by Guerlain,” a little more costly, better quality Eau de Parfum, about $85 per ounce. For several years, I used a touch of Shalimar (almost like deodorant) after showering. It was subtle and no one commented until a woman who used it was not wearing it one day and noticed it on me. She said, “You smell like Shalimar!” I kind of blew it off and stopped using it. I still love it! Oops!
CoCo Chanel No.5
I love Versace Bright Crystal
I love a lot of the VS scents. I have one called Wicked that was a gift from a coworker who knows I cross dress. I always told her much I loved the scents she wore so she gave a bottle of this as a Christmas present. Absolutely love it. Not too strong and as it mellows on you it takes on almost a vanilla sugar cookie aroma. She also gave me one called After Party Angel for my birthday one year that is more of a body spray than a perfume. Love that one as well.
Just my 2 cents worth on this topic.
