Perfume: Scents and Sensibility | Golden Rules Gal

Date
Feb, 11, 2025

It’s important to consider the situation, environment, and people around you when wearing perfume. Is it just me, or do many of you now have fragrance sensitivities? I for one had been wearing Halston since I was 16 years old, but I stopped using fragrance because it gives me a headache. Also, many people seem to be allergic and sensitive to certain types of fragrance. If someone is wearing a heavy fragrance on public transportation, there’s nowhere for you to escape it. The courteous thing to do is just not apply it. 

 

4 Places Not to Wear It:

1. Public transportation. Small spaces can create fragrance friction with no place to escape.

2. Gym. Sweat and fragrance do not mix.  

3. Funeral. It’s not about you, it’s about the deceased. No one wants to draw attention to themselves on a somber day.

4. Surgery. Before, during, and after. There will be too many other things to worry about than how you smell.

A Brief Intermission

Dear Friends,

Even the most refined tables need a moment to reset, and so does this space. I’ll be taking a short pause until June 2nd as I fine-tune, refresh, and elevate things behind the scenes. Think of it as a well-mannered intermission; good etiquette includes knowing when to step back and return better than before.

Thank you for your patience. I look forward to welcoming you back with elegance, fresh insights, and timeless tips!

With gratitude and grace,

The Golden Rules Gal
