How often do you forget to wear cologne?

[PrinceRF]

Do you ever forget your watch?

Never. The times that I don't wear my watch are intentional.

Never. I post mine daily. I plan mine out and sometimes change my mind on the morning I go to spray one on. It's one of the best times of my day and it's a daily enjoyment that I can carry with me into my oldest age.

About 1% of the time. However, I sing in a choir and we are required not to wear any fragrances for our practices and performances. I shower before both the practices and performances and change shirts as well.

Never in the last 7 years, or so. One of the very first things I do in the mornings, most mornings, is spray something on my wrist as a way to perk myself up, like a pleasant version of smelling salts.

Never and if I do I"ll get to a sample that I leave about everywhere.

Rarely!
Only when I've had a bad period of mental health, and I don't know what day it is, I remember once!

Usually there are atomisers in all of my clothes so if I didn't wear anything I could potentially get my fix.

But real panic when both of these fail!

If I have to be in a place where fragrance isn't allowed, I find a very low key, personal-range ultra-low-sillage soapy-type scent. I've found that a cologne-strength fragrance sprayed hours earlier is fine and doesn't disturb even someone next to me. You will have to experiment to find the right scent, but generally once you find one that you know doesn't beast off of you and is rather muted on your skin, even when exercising, then you win. I consider even a scented deodorant to be a type of fragrance/perfume. Just a lower sillage. I prefer to stick to fragrance often described as "clean" and "fresh", which don't get interpreted as "perfumey" in nature.

I forget to wear colognes far too often for the amount of colognes I own. To be fair I run my business from my home office and I don't have to leave for work every single day as a lot can be handled over the phone and texts. If I'm walking out of the door for more than just going to pick up take out then I'm wearing something but many days that I'm working from home I either wear the same thing (Dior Homme Cologne / Mugler / something light) or I don't even reach for stuff because I get distracted.

My son is just starting to get old enough that once or twice a week when I'm working from home I pick a matching scent for us to wear, usually something very light and orange based - that's been a real pleasure of mine even if he's still licking where I spray because he says, "It smells good enough to eat."

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.

Maybe 1 or 2 days a year. I feel naked without it.

As you, Chuck, I rarely forget to wear a watch and deodorant but I can't even remember when I forgot a scent. Maybe if I caught a cold with fever. I guess some of us here has it highly prioritized.
