I was working and this lady came up and she had on what I think was a really sweet good smelling perfume, it was a very compelling aroma. Is it ok for a guy to wear a scent like that?
Is It Ok For A Guy To Wear Perfume?
When I was away from my girlfriend at the time, I'd spray one of her shirts with her perfume and pop it on a pillow to hug and smell at night. I'm not sure if that's the epitome of sadness, but that's about as far as I took it.
Personal story aside, if you want to wear perfume that you like, it's not against the rules. If it's something you want to do, and it makes you happy, then that's up to you. It's something for you. But keep in mind, if you wear it yourself, your nose will adjust to the smell after a few minutes, so you won't be enjoying it quite as much. It'll be a mild detection on yourself.

I don’t think it would appropriate to wear a feminine-smelling fragrance if you’re a man. I think you’d probably get weird stares from men and women who walk past you and realize you’re wearing women’s perfume. There’s something about certain smells that causes one to associate either a more feminine or masculine character to them, but I cannot explain the exact science behind this. I don’t wear fragrance often, but when I do I like to wear something that befits a man, so I don’t give off any vibes or impressions that I wouldn’t like to give off.
I think it’s totally okay. Honestly I find cologne musky and off putting sometimes. Whatever scent you use, just don’t overdo it.

Yes it is. Nothing wrong with it. Some perfumes smell better on guys to me anyway. Perfumes and colognes are the same thing

Do you mean ladies’ perfume or men’s cologne? As long as the scent suits you and you don’t use too much, it’s fine.
-
It's fine is he wants to. Most prefer cologne but if they want to wear perfume it's not hurting anything
-
Sure. I actually like cologne and I'll spray myself with it sometimes when I am in the store.
-
Yes it very much so. I like them to. If you like them go right on ahead
-
after shave, eau de toilette, deodorant... male perfume if you want longer fresh scent.
I have few male perfumes (gifts) but don't use them too often, sometimes for clubbing. -
If you're worried about your masculinity, dont be. Wear whatever perfume you feel like wearing.

Perfume = Cologne in both function and smells (depends on where you look) so why not

Yes as long as they don't smell like they washed in it.
-
Yeah of course. In fact, all men should wear cologne to smell good.
-
everything is okay, some people just may disapprove of the scent you pick, if it isn't 'masculine'.
-
If it isn't too flowery, I wear perfumes sometimes. I like sweet scents.
-
You can use cologne. But female perfume should only be used if you want to appear gay.
-
Yes, I like it. My husband has mild asthma so he can't 😔🤣
-
Sure if you want a bunch of women coming up to you asking you what brand you have on so they can buy it for themselves
-
Sure, there is no law against it.
There may be some best practice guidelines about keeping scent free buildings or something though. -
Its ok but why use perfume, that's what cologne is for.
-
Of course you can use perfume but not a one that's for women, because it's smell doesn't fit a man
as an advice try cool water perfume. Good luck -
I would definitely prefer cologne.
-
id rather have a guy smell like cologne
