Your Fragrance Of Choice When Travelling?
Question:
What do you like to wear while traveling on an airplane or a train? Answer: For long haul trips, Thierry Mugler 'Cologne' in a travel sized spray. Bvlgari Parfumée Vert Extrême oshiboris, and Hermés Eau d'Orange Verte wipes. Its a green/citrus revolution! Answer: I wore Dior Fahrenheit on the last plane trip i took...was a 1h15min flight hehehe Answer: Often, I won't wear any fragrance at all, or if I do, it's something VERY light. Unless flying first class, where you've got enough space to stretch out (which when flying back and forth from Japan costs about as much as a decent used car, so needless to say I NEVER get to do it unless the airline screws up and puts me in the wrong seat), you are in such close proximity to the next person that I feel it's pretty rude to be projecting onto them the whole time, regardless of how "classy" you feel your fragrance to be. On a 15 hour flight, towards the end you are going to be sick of that person no matter how great the juice is. So, I agree with the earlier mention of Eau d'orange verte. Jil Sander Pure, Helmut Lang EdC, Bulgari eau Thé Blanc and Keiko Mecheri Musc are some others I sometimes wear, though again usually I'll just wear a light body creme of some kind (the Bulgari The Blanc creme is especially light and nice as well). When I get OFF the plane, though... then it's game time and the spritzing begins. Answer: Originally Posted by rach2jlc Often, I won't wear any fragrance at all, or if I do, it's something VERY light. That's exactly what I do also. I don't mind overspraying in situations where people can walk away if they don't like what I'm wearing. But sitting elbow to elbow to someone who might not feel the same way about a scent that I do ... with nowhere to go ... is just something I wouldn't do. My last few plane rides have been Bvlgari Black because not only does it stay close to the skin on me, but it doesn't smell like a cologne. A very good choice for traveling. Answer: i agree... chew some gum... 15 hour flights back and forth to japan I couldn't even imagine the boredom Answer: Originally Posted by theissue i agree... chew some gum... 15 hour flights back and forth to japan I couldn't even imagine the boredom It's close to torture, to tell the truth. Even if you manage to get an entire night's sleep on the plane (which I usually do thanks to heavy barbituates)... you've still got 7 more hours! And, trust me, you can only watch the lame in-flight movies so many times. The worst trip I had was about three years ago when they had an error with the projection system and all we could watch was Jackie Chan's "The Tuxedo" in a continual loop. I no longer fear hell now, knowing it couldn't possibly be worse than that. Answer: I agree w/ TM Cologne. I also wear Clinique Happy a lot when I'm out of town. Heck, I wear Clinique Happy a lot when I'm anywhere! Answer: Jo Malone fragrances are perfect for traveling on a plane, her smaller size bottles are perfect for traveling and the scents have really low longevity and sillage, but you can still smell them on yourself when you apply them. The downside, they're so friggin' expensive Answer: Originally Posted by rach2jlc Often, I won't wear any fragrance at all, or if I do, it's something VERY light.

When I get OFF the plane, though... then it's game time and the spritzing begins. I'm flying to Japan, in coach, next week. The air in airplane cabins is always very dry, so my experience is that fragrances don't last long during a flight. I like the idea of wearing a body lotion as smelling something familiar on my arm is always comforting while flying. I need to buy one for the trip. What's the fragrance culture like in Japan? Is it ok to wear a fragrance to a restaurant? Are they discreet or blatant with their "spritzing"? Copyright ? 2006 - 2007 www.thankhealth.com Privacy Policy
