What do you wear when you're feeling ill, sick, under the weather...

[slpfrsly]

Interested to read what you choose to wear.

Do you go without fragrance when you're unwell?
Do you have specific scents you will use at times of ill health?

Haha, I've wondered this about others too. Before, I would wear my favorite fragrances when sick only to find out after that my brain had associated the sickness with the scent. So, for several months to years after I would not like the scent.

Now, whenever I feel under the weather, I go totally fragranceless!

Acqua di Parma Colonia. It is light, uplifting and happy-and cheers me up.

I avoid Anything scented when feeling under the weather, as to not create any associations.

Zilch.

It depends. Something light and citrusy but sometimes I don’t wear anything. I personally find it can lift mood and give a boost, a bit like how a good chicken soup does.

Most likely nothing. However, if still by an exceptional miracle completely defying any logical reaction while being in such state, might still dare/venture at most in favor of something quite low projecting and minimally lasting like 4711 or Mugler Cologne.

Usually, Guerlain Eau de Cologne Imperiale. As it's very light, almost faint, it's not overpowering.

My comfort fragrances the list keeps growing but Vanilla Diorama and Le Male Le Parfum are two main stays.

I DO go without fragrance if I'm ill....now! I learned my lesson once after I wore a fragrance I had just purchased, only to become sick shortly after I had sprayed it on.

After the sickness came on, I couldn't stand the smell of the fragrance, and from that point on, I could never wear it again. I finally wound up selling it simply because I couldn't get over the association. The fragrance was Lemon Line, by Mancera.

Nothing specific but overly sharp or projecting fragrances don't feel right. I've got a bit of a cold and just tested Ganymede and kind of regretting it.

 

[Zenwannabee]

Comfort fragrances. For me, Brut or Old Spice (or maybe another EDC with very limited longevity and projection).

If I'm ill fragrances are my last concern.

Depends on the sickness but I usually smell like some type of essential oil that I’ve applied.
