How often do you forget to wear cologne?

It really depends on the situation but not often, and certainly less than before I became more actively interested in fragrances. If anything, it's more choosing not to wear something over forgetting.

Not wearing a fragrance day to day is a fairly frequent thing, every week or two. Wearing a fragrance when going somewhere in the evening is something I have chosen to do since my mid teens and not something I'd forget/choose not to do.

I forgot to wear a wrist watch to church yesterday morning. That's a MAYBE twice a year occurrence. I forget to wear deodorant maybe two or three times a year.

How often do you guys simply forget to wear a SOTD? I can't remember the last time I did that. Which I guess proves that wearing a scent is a high priority for me.
Chuck, I occasionally forget to wear a watch or put on deodorant too every now and then. Cologne--not a chance. ;)

Hardly ever.

And on the very few occasions this does happen (at intervals ranging anywhere between a few times a years to after a few years of continuous SOTD wears alternating daily or twice a day) some either very demanding or stressful situation/occurrence must interfere. Alternatively maybe also a success, an achievement, an accomplishment so unique, that almost any fragrance would seem redundant, inappropriate and/or too informal-however did not experience yet almost any ANY such happy occasion without also wearing or pairing/associating with a celebratory SOTD.

While still theoretically possibly, hardly ever probably to involuntary forgetting to wear any fragrance.

I’m in the majority “never” camp if it consists of a 24 hr day. I’ll forget at most..just part of a day. Like Saturday we had a soccer tourney and hurried out the door. I wasn’t wearing anything. But when I got home between games I applied for the rest of the day. I felt naked in the morning

Since I joined Basenotes, I've forgotten to put on cologne maybe two or three times.

Many times I have deliberately not worn any, but with this large collection and ongoing interest, it's just not likely I'd forget it.

Not too often I forgot a watch either which is a bit odd since the cell phone has made it's only function redundant and I'm rarely on any sort of tight schedule.

On my way to the car, there is a self pat down- wallet, money, cell phone, watch. In that ritual, I would notice if not wearing a scent.
