Fragrance Etiquette: When, Where, and How Much?

Fragrance is an extension of your personal space. In public settings, your scent should only be detectable within your 'inner circle' (about an arm's length). Over-spraying can be invasive and, for some, can trigger allergies or migraines. The goal is to be 'discovered,' not 'announced.' If people can smell you before you enter a room, you have likely overstayed your welcome. Scent is a privilege, not a right. Respect the olfactory boundaries of others.

Context is everything. For an outdoor wedding or a nightclub, 4-5 sprays of a stronger scent are acceptable. For a job interview, a funeral, or a confined office space, 1-2 sprays of a light, clean scent are the absolute maximum. In high-end restaurants, avoid wearing heavy gourmands or spicy scents, as they can interfere with the olfactory experience of the food for you and those around you.
